Apple has renewed its annual back to school promotion, offering students in the United States free Beats headphones when buying a new Mac or an iPad Pro.
Those buying an iMac, MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro can snag any pair of Beats from the range, including the $300 Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones, but also including the PowerBeats3 and Beats X buds.
If you’ve got your eye on the iPad Pro (10.5-inch or 12.9-inch), you can get the BeatsX headphones or $150 off the more expensive models in the range.

For our readers in the US, here’s a pro tip. Last year I walked out with free Beats Solo2 Wireless headphones using my wife’s student email address. So, if you’re not a student yourself there are ways around it.
Apple doesn’t usually offer this promotion in the United Kingdom. However, it does have a UK store for education.
By logging in with via Unidays and verifying eligibility, students and teachers can get 10% off most Macs and iPads. Still, there’s no free Beats anywhere to be seen.
Come on Apple, cough up those Beats.
