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

I've been using a pair of the original Beats Powerbeats for years now, and they've been great. Though over time, I started getting interested in something with some ANC, and something a little less bulky. When these went on sale, I knew I had to buy a pair, they were just what I was looking for. These have been great, they fit really well and are comfortable, and while they don't have the over-the-ear hook that the powerbeats pro's have, I have not felt at all like they were insecure in my ear. The standard "medium" earpiece fits me fine, but it's nice to have several different sizes to adjust the fit. The sound is really good. More of that traditional "Beats Sound" with a little extra bit off oomph in the Bass department (my original Powerbeats sounded great, but they were less Bass-forward than most Beats). I enjoy the sound even if it's not "Audiophile quality" flat response, they sound great with the music I listen to, and when I'm watching movies, it's great too. The ANC is nice to have.. it's not perfectly going to cancel things out, as these are earbuds, and not total over-the-ear headphones, but honestly, the ANC is working better than I expected. I wish the transparency mode could be adjusted for how effective it is, as I wish it were a little more boosted, but it does still works better than just having the ANC Off. As of right now, these are in the sweet spot to buy, Apple quality ease of connectivity, good ANC, comfortable buds, good sound, and at the prices these can be found for now, they are the best buy IMO. Airpod Pros right now might sound a little better, and may have better ANC, but they cost more than two times what I paid for these, and these are way too good to pass up

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.

Over all ok earbuds, not what I was expecting though. I may have just been using them in the wrong content but noise canceling hardly works, I could still hear the clack of keys and a clock ticking with my volume up about half way, that will normally drownd out both of those with my other earbuds. The app doesn't seam to really work either, it mostly is just there to walk you through set up and make them seem nicer but switching between modes in the app doesn't work and you can only get it to switch using the earbuds. One of the modes sounds terrible, like it's coming from a very cheap radio, the other two sound the exact same. They do fit a bit oddly in my ears even with the smallest ends, and feel like they are going to fall out at any second. In the end if you just want earbuds that work ok with android and have alright sound 60% of the time then go for it but otherwise I would advise you to get something else.

Sound quality is decent, but there's virtually no noise canceling. Purchased them primarily to use on a recent flight. Had to turn the volume up much louder than normal to hear my music over the regular sounds of the airplane. If you can get them on sale, they're not bad, but I probably wouldn't pay full price for them. They do seem to hold a decent battery charge, that was a real "pro."

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!

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.

I had my eyes on these for a long time, since they came out and when I got them, I was not disappointed. The size isn’t a dealbreaker in my opinion, slightly bigger than the AirPods Pro 2 that I have. Only negative I do have is the lack of wireless charging, but I’ll live without it. Battery, I have to say very impressed; I find they last longer than the AirPods Pro 2. Also, the fact it’s a physical button to press rather than haptic feedback, huge win. Value wise, it’s worth it if you want something a littler different but that pairs seamlessly with IOS.

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.

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.

Absolutely loveeeee these!!! I thought smaller earbuds would keep them in better because you receive them with the med size.. turns out large works awesome in my little ears.. snug and more sound proof... best way to know if you have them in properly listen to your tv (better if it's just talking no music) just turn off your noise cancelling have there is a L and and R to tell you which ear is ment for which bud... while pushing inward to your ear twist down.. untill your tv is CLEAR as if you had nothing in your ears.. if it sounds muffled at all they are in Wrong!. Getting them put in right makes all the difference of your experience with these i absolutely love all the beats ive own ♥️ don't give up! You'll get it :)

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.

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.

I have not use it a lot just few times and not for a long time but so far looks good and the noise cancelling really works.The negative thing that i have to said is How difficult is to get it out of the case is very slippery you may need to rocket a few times side to side ,its magnetic so that does not make it easy.Otherwise so far is good
