Beats Solo 3 Bluetooth On-Ears for $160 [limit 3]
The Galaxy S8* smartphones are the first with Bluetooth 5, but as far as I know, no bluetooth 5.0 headphones yet, and since the Bluetooth connection works in a lower common denominator fashion, you’ll have to wait for compatible BT 5.0 headphones before you can take advantage of the BT 5 features of the Galaxy S8s.
Which brings us to Apple’s approach to bluetooth, their “Class 1” technology employed in some of their Fall 2016 products, headlined by the Beats Solo 3, the black color scheme of which, in new condition, is on sale for $160 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. The “gloss white” is next in terms of discounting, going for $173~. All together, they average 4.5 out of 5 based on over 1000 customer reviews and have over 300 questions internet-answered.
Powerbeats 3 Wireless (BT) Earphones for $130
The black color scheme of the Powerbeats 3 Wireless (= bluetooth) earphones, geared towards sports/exercise, with their Class 1 bluetooth technology, ushered in with the Fall 2016 Apple line-up, are on sale, in new condition, for $130 with free shipping, at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer at this point in time.
All together (the different colors, which are the same product, no Rose Gold V-Moda apt-X shenanigans here) they average 3.6 out of 5 based on 1000+ customer reviews, but they only have a 2:1 “review intensity ratio” (5-star vs 1-star reviews), which is a sign of issues and trade-offs, so be sure to read reviews and such before buying if you are not familiar with them.
