This deal is available at an Apple retail stores and Authorized Apple Campus stores beginning July 23, 2015, and runs all the way to September 18, 2015. This deal will hit the Unites States Apple online stores on August 6, 2015.

This promotion offers eligible students and faculty members a free pair of Beats Solo2 wired headphones , with the purchase of MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Refurbished computers and the Mac mini are not available.

you can choose one of two deals

Apple is essentially giving you $199.95 to put towards the headphones, which covers the entire cost of the Beats Solo2 wired headphones. If you want the wireless Beats Solo2 headphones instead, you will have to pay $100 for them because they are $299.95.
To receive the discount, you must be a student, faculty member at school, or a parent of a student. If the customer decides that they want to return the Mac, you will have to also return the Beats as well in order to get your full refund. This same rule applies for if you want to exchange your Mac for another Mac that is not included in the promotion. However, if you exchange your Mac for one that included in the program, then you get to keep the headphones.

The company is doubling this year’s promotional value in comparison to last year’s Apple back to school discount. In July of 2014, Apple offered a free $100 Apple gift card with the purchase of a Mac and a $50 gift card if you purchase a iPhone or iPad. This year, Apple is covering the cost the Beats Solo2 headphones which cost $199.95.

This $200 discount for the headphones is applied at purchase and you can receive the headphone in black, white, pink, gray, blue and red. This deal is good in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico for now. It is also expected for Apple stores in other countries to release a similar Back to School promotion.

This is the first time that Apple has offered free Beats headphones as a part of a new purchase promotion. Historically, Apple used to offer free iPod devices with the purchase of a new Mac, before shifting to the $100 gift card for the iTunes or Mac App store. This has been the normal Apple Back to School promotion for the past couple of years.
