Beats Studio Buds + | True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Enhanced Apple & Android Compatibility, Built-in Microphone, Sweat Resistant Bluetooth Headphones, Spatial Audio - Transparent

I compared these beats with AirPod pros. Both are Apple products. The beats have a smaller range of volume, the lowest volume is pretty loud for the “lowest volume”. Each level for volume going up is minimal compared to the AirPods. (At around 1/3 of the volume they match volume. AirPods get a lot quieter and ALOT louder, I’d say 10% louder) The beats are loud enough for me I leave it at 3/4 of volume. Noise cancellation is really good, some noise filters through in loud environments but it’s enough when you’re at the gym and busy places. I experienced noise filtering through when I was in a car with music blasting. So I’d rate the noise cancellation pretty high. Pass through, pass through is good. I’d recommend not having the pass through when there’s lots of noise cause it’s good and personally it can get loud. When there’s a sudden loud noise the earbuds make the same loud noise and it could hurt your ears if you have sensitive hearing. Cons, when in loud environments if you are on a call the earbuds filter out the noise, and when you speak it filters your voice a bit too which makes it hard for the other person on the other end to hear you. Also the bit about the loud noise with the pass through and sensitive ears is a con for me. Battery life is really good, lasts me my work day and a bit more, I’m sure like all batteries that would go down after use but hasn’t happened to me yet I’ve had it for 2 months now. Bluetooth, the Bluetooth is pretty strong. You could probably still have a connection a few rooms away in a house before the connection begins to fail. Unlike AirPods when you remove the bud from an ear whatever is playing will not pause unless YOU pause it. This means it’s constantly connected, when you are within the Bluetooth radius of course. I’ve lost a bud twice but this actually helped me find it, so that’s a plus. And with these beats you cannot connect another pair to your phone like you can with AirPods. So it’s only on pair of beats at a time. I really like the earbuds and I think they are well worth the price, to me they are a barely lesser version of AirPod pros. I’m considering getting the studio pro’s over the AirPod max after this experience. Update 4 months later- The battery life is still very strong, I have had some issues with them disconnecting and reconnecting to my phone and I believe it’s because when I got my Apple Watch, it must be Confusing the connection between my phone and the watch. Yes, it can be annoying but to me, it’s still worth it. All really need to do is reconnect with my phone. I don’t think AirPods Will have this problem. But I’m not sure. There was one day where the noise cancellation on my right earbud stopped working, but it’s because I didn’t have enough battery so I had to charge it after that I had no issues.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this level of sound quality when I purchased these ear buds. These things blow my 1st Gen Airpods out of the water. I've been using them primarily for listening to music for about a month now, and I'm so happy I got them. The sound is super crisp and clear while also having a very impressive bass range. Volume range is also good; I feel like they can go louder than my Airpods would allow. Something else that really stands out is how defined the panning is in the mix. They also come with different sizes of silicone tips, so anyone can find the right personal fit and they feel good and stable in the ear. Battery life is long and they charge quickly. Another thing I really like is that the earbud controls are actual buttons, as apposed to the touch sensors that you get with Airpods. But that's just a personal preference. The ONLY complaint I have is that they are slightly awkward to handle. They're small and you have to get used to the way they go in/out of the charger case. The first time I took one of the earbuds out of the case it popped out of my fingers and went flying across the floor. So you have to be pretty mindful when handling them. But overall, these earbuds are worth every penny and I would recommend them to anyone looking for high-end sound quality.

A simple 5 star rating doesn’t give an accurate picture of these earbuds, so I have provided ratings for the following options: 5 stars - comfort and fit: These are the most comfortable inner earbuds that I have ever used. The medium sized pads that came pre installed are a perfect fit for me. 4 stars - noise cancellation and pass through: Noise cancellation is pretty decent for being earbuds, but can’t compare to headphones. These do provide the cleanest pass through audio that I have experienced. 4 stars - volume and bass: No complaints on volume, they get louder than I need, but like all earbuds, bass is mediocre. 3 stars - battery life: Nothing impressive about the battery life of the earbuds or the case. You can get the same amount of play time with $20-$50 earbuds. 2 stars - buttons and control functions: I don’t like how the buttons perform or their limited options. After setting them to control volume, sometimes it works, sometimes it stops playback and won’t restart. Long pressing to adjust volume is an inaccurate way to control volume and the feature feels like an afterthought. 1 star - compatibility: There is no way to adjust any options without an iPhone, and I often need to use these with a Windows PC. 0 stars - Amazon hiding reviews: I will be surprised if my review gets posted.

Quick Overview I bought these headphones to replace some other earbuds that were beginning to have issues and so far I have really enjoyed these headphones. Since these earbuds are made with Apple in mind, they have easy pairing just like Airpods. They also integrate with Siri to read your texts and notifications, etc. and give you a chance to respond which is a great feature I missed when using another brand. My only complaint at the moment is really just a minor inconvenience - because of the low profile of the earbuds they are harder to grab out of the case since only a few millimeters of the earbuds are sticking out to grab. If you have nails or bigger fingers you might find it annoying to grab out of the case. One of my favorite things about these earbuds is the fact that they have actual physical buttons, NOT have touch buttons. I wear hoodies and it’s so annoying when it brushes a touch button and pauses my music or turns noise cancelling on or off. Crisp and Clear Sound Quality: The sound quality is impressive across various genres of music. The earbuds deliver a well-balanced sound signature with clear vocals, detailed instrument separation, and a mostly satisfying bass response. The highs are crisp, without being harsh, and the mids are well-presented. The bass isn't as punchy as I would like, but with how small these earbuds are that is kind of to be expected. It does provides a good level of depth without overpowering the other frequencies, but if you like a lot of bass these might not be for you. Overall, the sound quality of will please most casual listeners alike and even some music enthusiasts. These earbuds lack customizable EQ settings. This may not be a big deal to some people, but I like to adjust the bass and the highs depending on the genre of music I am listening to. Comfortable and Secure Fit: These earbuds are designed with user comfort in mind. They come with multiple ear tip sizes to ensure a secure fit for different ear shapes. The lightweight and ergonomic design make them comfortable to wear. I've worn them for about 4 hours at a time and will sometimes forget they are there. Personally the Airpods didn't fit in my ear as well and these stay in better for me. Great Noise Cancellation: I prefer active noise cancellation because the fit of passive noise cancellation is usually less comfortable. These earbuds have a solid fit and use active noise cancellation which I prefer - and is pretty impressive. Typically I like to hear my environment when walking my dogs but the noise cancellation is so good I have to turn it off. I could keep noise cancellation on with my old headphones and it really just reduced how loud the noise was. This is also really helpful when I am on a call and my dogs are in the other room. I usually have to keep muting my mic because my dogs are barking, but when testing my girlfriend couldn't hear the dogs while we were on the phone. Incredibly Stable Bluetooth Connection: The connection between these earbuds and my phone is absolutely incredible. Bluetooth connection quality can vary quite a bit but these have one of the most stable and reliable connections that I have ever seen with wireless earbuds. There is virtually no latency. I left my phone in my bedroom and walked about 100 feet and went outside into the backyard and close the door. There wasn't even a stutter with the connection. Amazing. Battery Life: There is always a claim of an impressive battery life with high end earbuds. I haven't had a chance to test yet, but I plan to drain the battery completely on the earbuds and the case and track how long it takes to charge, how long the earbud batteries last, and how long the case battery lasts. I will update this review once I have had a chance to test! Overall the Beats Studio + offer a great audio experience and sound quality, comfortable fit, and amazing wireless connection. While there are a few minor inconveniences, none of them are dealbreakers and these earbuds are a great choice for anyone seeking a good pair of wireless earbuds.

These are great for calls or meetings. Sound is clear and noise cancellation is amazing, also the battery lasts for a long time. I find them a bit uncomfortable after a while but they work just fine. Recommended for people working from cafes or loud places.

You're probably like me, dragging your feet for months, researching and researching for hours trying to compare brand names (Bose, or JBL? Sennheiser, or Apple?). I finally settled on these, and here's why: 1) I didn't want airpods. You probably also don't want airpods (if you're even reading this review). Not because of the quality, but because "everyone has airpods" and they're "airpod people" (sorry to all the airpod people, including my sister). I wanted to be different (hopefully no shame there?). 2) My top priority was phone calls with my earbuds (make sure, even if you don't end up with these earbuds, that you determine your priorities, -clearly-). These earbuds have some of the best "in ear" calling I've seen (next to airpods). 3) I wanted something low profile (also why I didn't want airpods with the "stem"). These are very sleek, and don't look flashy in the ear. They're also not very cumbersome, and fit very snuggly. Very light, but durable - great design, even better build quality. 4) Not a huge selling factor for me personally, but if you want noise cancellation, this is your stop. I just used these this morning on the train coming into Boston, sitting next to the door leading out of the coach, and was astonished with how adaptive it was to specifically tuning out the rattling of the train. These earbuds will adapt to the environments around them! 5) The battery life is fantastic. Keep in mind, if you're in a loud area with the noise cancelling on, and it's working harder, you're going to blow through your battery faster - even that considered, I was still really impressed with the battery life! 6) This is clearly designed to work seamlessly with Apple products. Pairing was a breeze, and the connectivity is strong. Beats and Apple had a beautiful handshake with this product, and it shows. 7) Lastly, the sound quality. This is unmatched with anything I've used prior. Has very clear audio, and a great range of tone. The bass is powerful, while balancing defined treble tones. A couple things to consider: -These don't have wireless charging (unlike my other gadgets). I need to plug them into USB-C to charge. Might not be a big deal for you, but this is a drawback on my radar. -Get a protective case! The existing charging case is well built, and sturdy - but if you're like me, and you put your phone in a protective case, do the same for your earbuds. The case I got was drop proof, and didn't add much to the size (it doesn't take up much space in my pocket). It was $10 for peace of mind. Get an airtag too while you're at it! Overall, would recommend!

I do love these I used to not like the buds that had to go in the air not just hang on around the earlobe, but these are like they fit really good. I can’t turn the volume up though as loud as I want, which is like super Duper loud like I want it so loud that I have to turn it down it doesn’t do that and I think it’s for safety reasons and therefore it’s OK but I do like them.

i’ve had airpods for 5 years, i loved them but they got to the point of dying within an hour and having connection issues so i decided to try something new. my boyfriend has had beats for a while now and has never had any issues with them and so i decided to get these. lookswise, they’re extremely cool and i really do like how they look (both in the case and on my ears) but they definitely do have their problems. pros: - COOL LOOKING! i’ve never quite liked how airpods looked and these are sooo nice to look at - discreet, if you don’t want anyone to know you’re listening to music then these are perfect lol - i dropped one of the earbuds in the toilet by accident 💔 and at first i couldn’t hear anything out of it anymore and i started freaking out but i dried it with my sleeves and paper towel as well as i could since i was at school and didn’t have anything else lol, they ended up drying and working good as new so im happy about that - GREAT BATTERY LIFE!! i was looking for something that would last me a long time! i’m always listening to music and was tired of my airpods dying constantly. i can listen to music for 4 hours and my earbuds would barely be in the 60s% - lightweight! they’re lighter than my airpods - they fit very comfortably, they don’t hurt my ears at all and sometimes i forget i even have them on. i do have to adjust them every now and then because i get scared they will fall out cons: - they seem to have even worse connection issues than my old airpods did, it only ever seems to happen when im at college so maybe its the wifi here or just a coincidence but the earbuds start cutting out like crazy and the only way to stop it is to either pause whatever you’re listening to and then unpause or put the earbuds back in the case and back out. it’s extremely annoying but like i said, only seems to happen when im at college and hasn’t happened at all anywhere else. doesn’t happen all the time either, some days it doesn’t cut out at all and other days it happens several times. - sometimes the audio volume stops working? whenever i put the volume any less than 50% the sound goes silent. to fix it, you have to reset the earbuds completely by pressing the button inside the case until the light starts flashing red and then connect them back to your phone. this has only happened to me around 3 times and i don’t know what causes it but it’s also very annoying. - the call audio doesn’t seem to be very good, nobody seems to be able to hear me when i wear these and usually have to swap back to my airpods overall, despite all its flaws, i really do like these earbuds and will be keeping them. it just sucks that my listening experience has not been seamless for $100 earbuds. i expected more especially since my boyfriend has never had a problem with his beats solo buds which are older than these beats studio buds. either way i would recommend these to someone who can deal with its minor issues but i do miss how little problems my airpods had, especially back when they were brand new lol.

I’m thrilled with this purchase, especially since Beats never disappoints. The history repeats itself with the Beats Studio Buds Plus. There are no complaints; it works perfectly as advertised. For those in the Apple ecosystem, it functions exactly like Apple’s own AirPods, which is obvious since Beats now owns Apple. The user interface is also identical to AirPods. Before switching to the Beats Studio Buds Plus, I used AirPods Pro 2, and I always experienced listening fatigue and discomfort from wearing them for extended periods. However, with the Beats Studio Buds Plus, I don’t feel any discomfort or fatigue, and I barely notice them in my ears. Most importantly, the audio quality is phenomenal. I can clearly hear the difference compared to AirPods. While AirPods have good audio, Beats’ quality is simply superior. The treble is crisp, the bass is punchy, and of course, the details are great—something I didn’t notice while using AirPods. I definitely recommend the Beats Studio Buds Plus; it’s worth every penny spent.

I've been using these earbuds for about a month and overall I am satisfied. I bought them to replace earbuds of another extremely popular brand which I am probably not allowed to name in this review. The noise cancellation is definitely not bad - it works well on a busy street or in public transit and on the plane. And the 'transparency mode' allows you to hear your surroundings as well as if you didn't have anything in your ears. The battery life has not been an issue even with prolonged use. The sound quality is very good, lots of base and volume, not tinny at all. The two cons for me are that they tend to get dirtier than that other brand which shall not be named, because they have little rubber inserts for the part that goes in your ear, so it's not one uninterrupted smooth surface. The other con is that they are not ergonomically designed - it can be tricky to remove them from the case since there is not much to grab onto, and I have dropped them more than once because of this.

I got these in November of 2023 and it is not may of 2024, have worked very well. Had very few problems (connection issues but they weren’t major and easily fixed) I was either getting these or the AirPod pros, but these were cheaper then the AirPod pros but they work well. I have an iPhone and it paired just like AirPods would, and in about the same time (I have had AirPods in the past just lost them). Have the option of noise cancelation, transparency, and normal for listening mode and all work well. I use noise cancelation and it works well, AirPods work a little better but for the lower price well worth it. It won’t block out every single noise completely, but good enough for me. (I do have sensory issues with loud uncontrolled/unexpected sounds and these work well for me ofcourse everyone is different) most I hear is cars when I’m out in public and maybe if I someone is screaming that but barely. I have had the version of these without the plus and these are definitely a step up. Looks very nice too would/have recommended

The bass is well okay and sounds good but when calling the recipient won’t hear me well plus when sending voice messages through iMessage or WhatsApp it won’t come out well I mean in terms of loudness but apart from this it’s a great product.

These are by far the worst headphones I have ever owned. They do look fantastic with the clear shells and they do most of the Airpods stuff with device switching and Hey Siri, they also sound really good. Noise cancellation and pass through both work great and battery life is great. But they are so cheaply built. The screen mesh over the driver is paper and just glued in, they fall out so easily people sell replacement packs on Amazon. Mine skip constantly even on files that are downloaded not streamed. They will just disconnect from my iPhone when I leave range of my wifi, not sure why they do that since my Beats Solo 3s, Anker P3s, and Airpods never did that. The case randomly blares out beeps, sometimes constantly and then will stop when it feels like it. Very annoying.
