Beats Studio Pro - Premium Wireless Over-Ear Headphones- Up to 40-Hour Battery Life, Active Noise Cancelling, USB-C Lossless Audio, Apple & Android Compatible - Black

I am reviewing this item in brand new condition. If you get a refurbished somewhere else, the shipping will probably differ a lot too. 1. Shipping - Shipped in hard shell, extra sturdy case inside a second zipped plush case. The plush case that comes with this headset is very, very nice and you will likely not replace it due to quality. 2. Sound - I wanted to give this headset several hours a day every day testing before reviewing. I've used them for calls, gaming, and jamming out via connected bluetooth to my PC and Phone. The best description that can be given for the sound quality is instead of having to use a custom 'sound profile' to get 'the best' sound, this headset gives you the sound exactly as it was 'written', directly to you. If you do any audio engineering you're familiar with panning, or simulated directions in video games. This one is really good. For music listening it's loud enough I don't need to play it at max volume, it doesn't cause listening fatigue. I've never enjoyed three hours of music without even realizing it until this set. 3. Comfort/texture. I rubbed my fingertips on the cup several times because it's tingly. My head is really small and all headphones are too big for me, but children's are too small, and this is actually still holding snug to my ears so the noise cancelling works like a charm. I've had other headsets at the 150 price point loosen by week 2 and not fit so snug, so the noise cancelling wasn't "wow" anymore but this is the real deal. And unlike the other headsets, turning on noise cancelling doesn't hum or blast static into your ears, or make the sound a little murky. I've worn these for several hours daily and they have a breathableness to them, somehow. It doesn't make my jaw ache. The tension (cup to ear) hasn't loosened like other models have. 4.) Mic - If you accidentally connect it to your PC instead of your actual dedicated microphone it affects audio quality severely because it goes into some 'hybrid' mode where you're meant to hear yourself talk but it's terrible for extraction shooter or any 'my environment gives me important ques' kind of games. I did NOT buy this headset for talking into it, but spent a very terrible round of Arc Raiders not being able to hear the map lol. Just noting. I use the headset to play audio, my studio condenser mic to talk into and in that 'setup' the audio is fantastic and so is my mic! 5) Charge/reliability/battery life: I plug them in when I got to the kitchen and before bed, they've never died. Yeah, I game and jam, but I'm also a game developer who takes calls and streams unexpectedly throughout the day as a fully remote worker. If the 4 white light icons represent charge then they've never fallen below 3/4 on this schedule. You can also used them plugged in from headset to desktop directly if that 'crisis' were to befall you. The bluetooth range is also farther than I expected, I can walk way into the kitchen past 3 walls and they stay connected with clear audio. So yeah, assuming they can hold up for 1 year of daily use like this I'd buy them again to refresh them the next year.

The Beats Studio headphones deliver solid sound quality with strong bass, clear mids, and effective active noise cancellation. They’re comfortable for long listening sessions, pair easily with Apple devices, and battery life has been reliable for daily use. Build quality feels premium, and they work well for travel, workouts, and casual listening. That said, I would not recommend paying full price. These headphones go on sale very frequently—often dropping to $179.99—and at that price, they’re an excellent value. At MSRP, there are stronger competitors in the same range. If you can wait for a sale (which usually doesn’t take long), they’re absolutely worth buying. Just be patient and don’t overpay.

These headphones stand out because they get everything right where it matters most: size, comfort, sound, and ease of use. The over-ear design fully covers even larger ears without pressing on them, making them comfortable for long listening sessions while still feeling lightweight and secure. The sound quality is clear and balanced with deep but controlled bass, and features like noise canceling and transparency make it easy to either block out the world or stay aware when needed. Physical control buttons make adjusting volume or skipping tracks quick and intuitive, and switching between Apple devices is smooth and effortless. They fold up neatly for portability, and when kept in a hard case, they’re easy to take anywhere without worry, making them an excellent everyday headphone. Battery life is long enough that I rarely think about charging them, and a quick top-up gives hours of use. Overall, they feel premium, reliable, and worth every dollar.

My wife asked me to update her work environment since they went to an open concept design at work. She needed something to meet with her staff remotely, with good noise cancelling, that was comfortaable to wear for extended periods and this product checked those boxes. It was easy to connect to her laptop for work and her phone for music. Bought it during a Prime Day so the cost was very reasonable. The sound has been better than my wife expected. She hasn't used any of the buttons, other than to turn it on, as she is controlling volume with the device. She like the non-black color (the only thing she didn't want was a black headset). I would buy again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love These Headphones! Just a Few Small Things These are my first pair of over-ear headphones, and wow, I’m impressed! The sound quality is fantastic, and the noise cancelling is honestly amazing. I wear glasses, so after about two hours they start to feel a little uncomfortable, but that’s pretty normal for over-ear headphones. Transparency mode is good, definitely better than the Beats Pro earbuds, but it’s not perfect. There’s a slight static sound when it’s on. If transparency is super important to you, I’d probably recommend checking out Apple AirPods (though I haven’t tried the AirPods Max yet). I’ve always had trouble with earbuds falling out and eventually breaking after being dropped too many times, so I love how solid and durable these feel. Plus, the sandstone color is absolutely adorable! They’ve totally converted me to an over-ear headphone fan. If transparency is your top priority, you might want to keep lookingbut for sound quality and noise cancelling, these are awesome.

Absolutely love these! Noise canceling works almost too well. Sound is crisp, clear and full. Lightweight for the size, durable, and easy to pair. Easy to control with buttons on the left ear.

My earliest forays into a More expensive headphone was with the Beats Brand and the wired Beats Pro headphones. Then I graduated to the wireless Beats Studios, as well as the Executive headphones and those were my headphones for years. I don’t recall the noise cancelling being anything at all and of course there was no such thing as a transparency mode back then, but at the time I loved the look, the colors (especially metallic gold of the Beats Studios) and enjoyed the heavy bass sound they provided. As I grew more sophisticated and appreciated more sound quality, I moved on to other headphones (plus my last pair of Beats Studio the hinge broke on one side). I had tried the Beats Solo Pros and wanted to love them but they were, though improved, still an on-ear headphone and too uncomfortable for me. I had hoped then that an update for the Studios to Studio Pros was imminent but turned out it would be awhile before this did come to pass but I knew once it did I would have to buy them and try them out eventually. It didn’t take long as I saw they went on sale for $100 off only a month after release and I jumped on that deal! I am pleasantly impressed for the most part. They do a lot of the same things as the AirPods Max, if not as well. Sound quality is really good and has a more neutral sound than previous Beats Studios did. The Dolby Atmos with head tracking is fun. They are a little bright sounding and I sometimes have to either turn down the volume or use the eq on the iPhone Music App to lower the treble, or turn off the Spatial Stereo feature in the control center, (long press on the volume slider) but overall I find the sound pleasant and lively. There are no wear sensors, but I love the old school B buttons for pausing, volume and skipping and rewinding tracks very easy and intuitive after using Beats Studios for years so I don’t really miss it that much frankly. They are fairly comfortable, the cushioning on the ear pads and headband are plush but they do have a strong clamping force which might bother some but doesn’t bother me overly much, and I am fan of how stable they feel on my head. Noise canceling is quite good but as is expected not at AirPods Max level. I’ve always loved the 5 LED lights on the bottoms of the right ear cup which will show you the battery level when pressed. A double press of this button will switch between ANC and Transparency. Long press for Bluetooth pairing. No auto-switching between devices but once connected to a device in your iCloud, they automatically show up in other devices in the cloud and a press within the Bluetooth’s settings will switch it to the other device quickly and easily. The headphones will announce messages and you have the ability to use “Hey, Siri’ but I’ve noticed sometimes audio will stop with an announcement or Siri activation and may not continue playing music on its own, but a simple press of the “B” button will start play again. On the AirPods Max audio will reduce significantly but not stop, but with these the sound stops abruptly which can be jarring at first when the announcement is made. Of course you can turn off announcements in the control center if you want to avoid the interruption altogether. Build quality is plastic but still solid with metal sliders that have a jarring but somehow pleasing click as you slide them in or out. They are also very light, certainly lighter than the AirPods Max (which I also own). Also the case is nice with a spot for cables and even another pouch inside on the other side if you need it, but can’t really imagine adding much as with the headphones in, there really isn’t a lot of room. If you can get these on sale especially I would recommend then as a less pricey alternative to the more expensive headphones like the AirPods Max. I’m a fan of the sandstone color, I hear the dark colors, especially black, are finger smear magnets. These are a little bit like that, but with the light color it is much less of an issue. These are a classic revisited and I will always have a soft spot for the Beats Studio (now pros) headphones! I forgot to mention that you can use the usb c cable for lossless audio from your computer or iPad, which is awesome, although i have yet to try that out as I am all about wireless functionality, I don’t like being tied down to wires! Still great option, and one the AirPods Max cannot do (yet anyway). These are a great option for those not willing or able to spend more and still great a great headphone!

Love the fit of these and how comfortably they sit on the ears and over the head. They’re lightweight, stay firmly in place, and the audio is perfect you can never go wrong with Beats.
