Beats Solo 2 On-Ears for $140
Beats are on the perpetual Wall of Shame according to some audiophile circles, but when IF put the Solo 2 on the Wall of Fame, there was a confusion-quake among those circles. Which brings us to a Beats sale at the Staples website that includes various colors of the Beats Solo 2 On-Ears for $140 per pair. This appears to be an online only offer but you can have them ship it to a local Staples store as well (but you can’t pick it up from available in-stock inventory).
