Apple Discounts Beats Pill+ Speaker and Beats EP Headphones

Amid a significant delay (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/13/beatsx-coming-february/) of its newest BeatsX headphones, Apple is offering a discount on two other Beats products, the Beats Pill+ Speaker and the Beats EP On-Ear Headphones.





The Beats Pill+ Portable Speaker (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/ML4Q2LL/A/beats-pill-portable-speaker-productred), which comes in White, Red, and Black, is available for $199, a discount of $30 off the regular $230 price tag. Apple's Beats EP On-Ear Headphones (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/ML9D2LL/A/beats-ep-on-ear-headphones-blue) are also discounted by $30, dropping the price from $130 to $100. The Beats EPs are available in Blue, White, Black, and Red.

Apple's discount is rather unimpressive, as several third-party retailers regularly offer the Beats Pill+ and the Beats EP at that price point or lower. Amazon, for example, has the Beats Pill+ (https://www.amazon.com/Beats-ML4M2LL-A-Pill-Black/dp/B016QXV2QK) for $200, and Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/FAST-TRACK-Beats-EP-On-Ear-Headphones/54594376) and Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/beats-by-dr-dre-beats-ep-headphones-blue/5577810.p?skuId=5577810) both sell the Beats EP for $100.





Rumors earlier this week suggested Apple's BeatsX wireless headphones, introduced in October, would not ship out (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/12/bh-photo-beatsx-delayed-least-2-3-months/) for two to three months. Apple confirmed rumors this morning with a website update that lists a February release date for the new earphones.





Originally meant to ship in the fall of 2016, the $149 wireless BeatsX headphones (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLYE2LL/A/beatsx-earphones-black) feature the same Apple W1 chip used in the AirPods, which also saw delays. Apple planned to ship AirPods in October, but needed "a little more time (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/26/apple-delays-airpods-launch/)" before releasing them.





AirPods finally became available for purchase (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/13/airpods-now-available-to-order/) this morning with delivery dates as soon as next week, but limited supplies caused them to quickly sell out. AirPods purchased now will not ship out to customers until mid-January.
