Erling Haaland might not have brought the Golden Boot home from the World Cup, but he did bring some serious style cred. The 25-year-old Norwegian striker was a breakout star this year, mixing intimidating athletic prowess with off-duty goofiness. And yes, there was the whole taxidermy raccoon thing. But let’s be honest: if you can’t afford his Birkin collection, you can still steal his vibe for a fraction of the cost.
Haaland wears Beats by Dre. Period. And right now, you can get the exact models he sports for up to 51% less than the retail price.
Which Haaland Beats Headphones Are on Sale?
Two specific pairs are dropping in price depending on the retailer and color you choose. If you are looking for how to save money on celebrity-approved audio gear, this is the moment.
The Beats Solo 4 and the Beats Studio Pro are both discounted across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. It isn’t just one store holding the bag. You can shop around. The deals vary slightly by location, but the discounts are significant.
Haaland prefers the Matte Black Solo 4s. Those are marked down to $14995 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart that is $199 less than usual. That’s a solid 25% off. Both Solo 4 models offer up to 50 hours of battery life. That’s the most stamina of any Beats headphones currently available. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti calls them the favorite for budget shoppers who hate charging their gear constantly.
If you want the over-ear version, look for the Beats Studio Pro. Haaland wore the Matte White version before a game last spring. Walmart had those for just $16995. Usually, they cost $34999. That is over half off. The Navy, Black, Brown, or Sandstone versions were $19995 on Amazon and Best Buy. A 43% saving. Not bad.
Why These Headphones Actually Work
It’s easy to dismiss celebrity endorsements as vanity metrics. But Haaland isn’t wearing cheap plastic. He’s wearing gear that has been tested.
The Solo 4s deliver a “sleek” on-ear design with a prominent midrange. Bracetti noted they extend vocals on instrumental-heavy tracks. Good for focus. Good for the grind.
The Studio Pro won the Mashable Choice Award for a reason. Reporter Alex Perry reviewed them years ago and gave them a 4.5 out of 5. The sound quality is fantastic. The noise cancellation is tremendous. But the real kicker isn’t the bass. It’s the compatibility.
Beats is owned by Apple. Usually, that means iOS-only features. Perry found the Studio Pro to have near-perfect parity between iOS and Android. You don’t lose features if you switch platforms. Hard to find an over-ear pair with a better all-around experience.
“It’s hard to find a pair of under-ear headphones with a better all-around than Beats Studio Pro.”
Where to Buy the Deal
Stock varies. Colors sell out fast. You need to move if you want the Matte White Studio Pros or the specific Black Solo 4s Haaland uses.
- Amazon: Has the Solo 4s and Studio Pros down to $169-$200 depending on color.
- Best Buy: Matches Amazon’s pricing on most colors.
- Walmart: Has the Matte White Studio Pros at their lowest price point of the bunch.
Check the sites directly. Prices shift. July 15 is the snapshot. The deals might be gone by tomorrow.
The Playlist Problem
Haaland has curated an official Apple Music playlist. It’s all classical tunes. Serious, focused, workout-ready. If you want to emulate the Manchester City striker properly, you’ll need to listen to Bach or Beethoven while you run.
But who are you to judge? I suggest Solomun’s 2015 Boiler Room set instead. Higher energy. Less sheet music.
You have the headphones. You have the discount. The rest is just noise.
