Great sound quality; avoid calls in noisy situations and high wind

The Beats Studio Buds have great sound quality and a damn good battery life. However, if you use the Buds in Transparency mode (as I often do at work), you might only get about three to four hours out of each bud. The workaround is that you can easily switch buds with no loss of connection, put the dead one back in the case, and by the time the other one is dead the first is ready to go again.One super important thing to note is that phone calls have absolutely no background noise cancellation whatsoever. The people you are talking to can hear things as small as keyboard clicking. Which can pose a problem if you regularly take calls in high-noise environments. A second flaw is that ANC and Transparency modes do not effectively cancel out high wind noise. A great example of this is riding a motorcycle or even a bicycle – the moment you put the Buds in either mode, all you hear is wind. Plus, if you are on a phone call in a windy environment, the other party has a difficult time hearing you. Even car A/C messes with them.I’ve dropped the Buds dozens of times on accident and they haven’t even so much as scratched. The build quality is impressive. Pairing was super easy with my Pixel 8 Pro – I just opened the case, and it automatically popped up, despite this essentially being an Apple product. The app also offers widgets for your home screen to switch between ANC, Transparency and Off (normal) modes, which is helpful if you set the button to activate voice assistant.

Love them for the most part!

These have been great. I think that my air pods work better when I’m running or doing physical activities, but I can’t complain too much for the price.

Not quite

While I think beats have a history of being reliable and great quality, this specific model failed the test. I am not a music expert but this is how I felt the earbuds performed.Pros:- noise cancelling is really impressive.- ear bud sizing is versatile. I have small ears but the small size fit me perfectly.- snug fit meant that using at the gym came with no problems.- the functionality with an iPhone makes it more convenient than any other brands I’ve tried.Cons- quality of the case was questionable.- audio lacked that surround sound attribute that I personally prefer. I tried listening to various genres and found that the audio sounded like you were listening to music in an empty room; very echoey.- songs sounded quiet but when I went to raise the volume, it was so sharp that it hurt my ears to listen. Even using r&b songs that tend to sound more pillowy, I felt like everything sounded like nails on a chalkboard.The main reason I bought these earbuds was to have something more reliable than the Apple AirPods. I also wanted the audio to be loud enough for my outdoor runs and still provide a great listening experience. It’s because these buds lacked in the sound department that I won’t be keeping them. I did try the other beats model: beats fit pro. Those provide all the pros of this model with the additional case quality and better audio. While I think the noise cancelling is slightly better with the studio model, I think the fit pros are far better in every other category that it seems to be a non-issue.

Quality ear buds

This is the second pair of beats earbuds I’m buying for my daughter-in-law. The comfort is unbearable. They are easy to use. The white color makes them easy to find and stylish to see. Great sound quality.

Great sound

I am still getting used to these earbuds. The sound is great but still working on putting them in and out without interrupting the music or skipping a song. The quality is great.

I wish they’d stay in my ears

I have a hard time with ear buds. I wish they’d stop falling out of my ears (yes I’ve tried resizing the ear piece) I might just have a hard time with them though. Sound is great and love the button on them to pause or hang up a call. If they’d just stay in I’d give them 5 stars.

Initial sound is good, questioning longevity

Sounds better than my AirPod pros. After two sets of AirPod pros dying on my in a little over a year, I’m trying these. Initial quality of buds is good. The case feels cheap compared to pros. You have to flip them around before popping them in case unlike pros. As long as they don’t get the death rattle like the pros, they will be worth $80 I spent on prime day.

Sound Quality That Impresses!

I bought these Beats earbuds for my boyfriend, and he loves them! The sound quality is outstanding—crystal clear with deep bass. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods, and the battery life is impressive. He uses them for everything from workouts to calls. A fantastic gift for any music lover!

Good Sound, but Left Bud Has Static Noise

I really wanted to love these Beats Studio Buds because the sound quality is great, and the noise cancellation works well. However, I’ve had an ongoing issue with the left bud producing a static noise. Even after updating the firmware and replacing the buds through Apple, the problem persists. The static is noticeable when no music or sound is playing, which can be frustrating.I’ve been back to Apple multiple times, but the issue still hasn’t been resolved. Thankfully, when music is playing, the static isn’t noticeable, so I’ve decided to keep them for now. If you don’t mind a slight issue when nothing’s playing, they’re a solid choice. Otherwise, be cautious of potential problems.

It’s cute 🥚

I like this brand my last pair of beats were the pro fit and lasted me almost 2 years! (I wore them down to the bone) I got the ivory color cause it looks like a boiled egg

ok

I’m not sure these are for me…. I had apple AirPods these seem to stay in well but just take getting used to

Ok but not excellent for Beats

I bought these renewed so keep that in mind before reading further. Aesthetically, he quality of the product is good, arrived clean, in the original box with charger and manuals. I like the design of the case (small enough to tuck away but big enough to keep track of.) 10/10. The headphones performance though are just ok and that’s coming from a long time Beats fan. I bought these specifically because I lost one of my Beats Fit Pro pods (special edition ones that I can’t get replaced or don’t want to pay 2/3 the cost to do), anyway, these were an affordable backup. Sadly, these particular beats are lacking in sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation.-Sound quality: 6.5/10 overall for sound with music. The sounds is quite low, volume on the device playing needs to be almost at max to hear comfortably for phone calls or audio/podcasts. Expected more oomph like my other sets.- Battery Life: 6/10. I charged them fully the first night and used them for a 1hr workout and for a few hours of a work shift. The case and headphones were completely dead the next morning without charge. So only one full day of use on a charge which again is starkly different from my Beats Fit Pros that lasted for up to 5-7 days without needing another charge. Boo.Noise Cancellation: 4/10 Probably the most obvious and my least favorite feature of these headphones is the noise cancellation. Even with one headphone in, you can hear absolutely nothing in the surroundings. I know some would love this, but other Beats models have the ambient sound option that allows you to hear the headphone audio AND the surrounding area comfortable. I feel like I’m wearing a hearing aid with these.One perk: Unlike other beats these headphones are interchangeable (at least for me). I was able to swap ears which is nice.Overall Rating: 7/10-Not great, but not terrible. Ok for everyday headphones that aren’t too pricey.

Terrible. Don’t buy

I have the beat solo headphones and like them. Bought these and the volume and sound quality is similar with more low key look.

I love them after fixing the static problem lol

I don’t know if anyone is still having this problem with the static in the earbuds but I was having the same problem with the noise cancellation feature straight out of the package. I was like this can’t be right these are brand new. These are the first pair of beats earbuds I ever owned so I did all the troubleshooting tips to try and fix the problem to no avail. I was like let me google and see if I put them in my ear correctly and come to find out the wasn’t in correctly such a foolish thing on my part but I saw how they was supposed be inserted in your and once I corrected the static in the left ear stopped. I no longer hear static maybe it will help everyone else like it helped me.

Estos audífonos los compre para un regalo pero la verdad es que estos audífonos son muy buenos la marca es buena, la verdad lo que me gusta de ellos es que la batería dura montones un chorro no se acaba y al estuche igual le dura bastante la batería ademas de que envuelven muy bien el sonido, o sea, si lo tienes en un volumen medio alto creanme no van a escuchar nada pero la razón por la cual le doy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ es que yo tuve unos hace tiempo y a mi como que se me caían o sea como que no quedan bien puestos o de plano yo no los se usar pero hasta donde se esto pasa con varias personas que conozco que tiene este tipo de audífonos si funcionan muy bien envuelven muy bien el sonido pero eso de estar acomodando los audífonos y que se te caigan es fastidioso, pero repito funcionan perfecto cumplen muy bien su función y también sirven para hacer creer a las personas que vas escuchando musica pero en realidad estas escuchando de lo que ellos están hablando, así que no importa si usted quiere escuchar musica o el chisme de la persona de a lado estos audífonos son muy buena opción.

They’re nice

I really like the color and quality of these. They’re very comfortable and fit perfectly in my ear. They don’t fall out whenever I run. Sound quality is good but the base isn’t very impressive. You’re not going to get the same base as Bose but the clarity of the audio is great. Noise canceling is very good as well! The only thing that annoys me is if I’m adjusting the earbuds, it will pause whatever I’m playing. But other than that, I would buy these again

Best Buds

I’ve never heard music so clearly. It’s like hearing my playlists for the first time all over again but even better! I also love the transparency and noise cancelation options. And other extra functions you wouldn’t normally get with another product. I was worried that having a more affordable pair of ear buds the quality wouldn’t add up. No regrets investing in these. Highly recommend them.

Good not great. Spend the same for better

Setup is incredibly user friendly. But the quality of the sound isnt great. Good but you can spend the same amount on another brand with better sound quality. Light weight and comfortable but can fall out easily. Recommend only using for low impact everyday work i.e house chores.

Initial review and comparison to other brands

I love these earbuds. They feel definitely worth the price and a all around great buy. Giving me exactly what I was looking for.For years I have used the raycon E55 and some of the features I loved about raycon was the manual button in the earbuds, excessive bass and great inside-ear fit.Recently however, raycon has gone the way of the world— they have put sensors on the earbuds in the place of buttons and Balanced out the audio. So I began my search for new earbuds.—THE SOUND—Both the AirPods, galaxybuds and raycons I have tried tend to be balanced and prioritize giving equal notes to all instruments For a clear and concise sound, But to someone who is not an audiophile it sounds very flat and devoid of the punch that I desire. For me- I want it to be great sounding but also noticeably bass heavy. These Beats Studio buds deliver. The company recognizes that your not using these to analyze a song. These are for the people who like bass and want to feel some gravitas in their ears!—CONNECTIVITY—These connect effortlessly to iPhone, as if they were AirPods. It was the single biggest factor that blew me away with these. They are incredibly easy to connect. I cannot speak for android but these work great. They do not have a lot of audio adjustments like Bose but I frankly don’t need them to. You can easily see the battery state on both buds and the case from a pop up window in your apple home screen whenever opening the case, just like AirPods.—FIT—The fit is not as good as the raycon E55 but only by a little bit. They fit snuggly in your ears well enough that they do not fall off when running and working out. Although adjustments might need to be made to them occasionally. (I have small ears, so the fit is review as such)—THE CONTROLS—The controls are simple and straightforward. They are just like what you come to expect from earbuds. Single tap, double tap, triple tap.The earbuds HAVE AN ACTUAL BUTTON… which I thought was extinct, I personally hate the sensor buttons because adjusting your earbuds in your ears would trigger the controls.While these do have a very sensitive physical button— it is easy to avoid while adjusting with practice.—BATTERY—The battery lasts me all day, what more do you want?—RANGE—Very good, about 30+ feet—CONS—-no MagSafe compatible charging-fit isn’t as perfect as some brands but is really good-if your an audiophile these earbuds are not balancedFinal call-If you like bass, and hate the sensor controls on most earbuds— these very well could be the best earbuds you could get. These are on par with earbuds in the 200$ range. And if your anything like me, you will love them! And if not, they might still be worth it to you—UPDATE—they have a hard time staying in when working out, and so I had to buy wing tips for these. They automatically have active noise cancellation on when you take them out of the case… which I personally hate.And the cases battery is pretty short lived… only lasts two days generally

An alternative to AirPod Pros? Yes, but with a slight lower quality difference. Worth it? Yes

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.

actually disappointing

bought these after my airpod pros died on me suddenly. i have been using these beats studio buds for about 6 months and the experience has been inconsistent to say the least. first issue: they fall out of my ears if i do simple things like turn my head or chew. i can barely walk or exercise with them in because they just fall out. i looked online and it seems others have had these issues; people were suggesting swapping the size of the actual ear bud and even wearing them in reverse (with the left bud in the right ear and right bud in left ear). neither if these worked for me. really made me appreciate the airpod design.it was fairly easy to connect the very first time but every time after that is almost always a pain. if the case is dead but the beats themselves are still charged it’s like it doesn’t recognize that the beats are still working and refuses to connect. even if the case is charged sometimes it just will not recognize that the beats are in range of my phone, even if they’re sitting right on top of each other. if it’s not straight up refusing to connect it’s disconnecting randomly. if i open my car door – even with the car turned off – the beats automatically disconnect from my phone as if it expects me to connect my phone to carplay. there are many times i have been talking on the phone using my beats and suddenly they will disconnect.the controls only kind of work. you can use the default preset controls like pressing twice for skipping songs and once for hanging up calls and the like. however you’re supposed to be able to customize these controls to in your phone settings but they only work as long as the beats are disconnected. as soon as you put the beats away and disconnect everything goes back to default settings the next time you reconnect. noise cancellation is a joke, it sounds the same as when its on transparent mode or off.the case feels like cheap plastic. i got a silicone case because i was afraid of scratching it up. not much else to say about it.the color of the beats are great. i got red and it looks super cool. i think the sound quality is on par with my old airpod pros. when i am on the phone others have not had a problem with not hearing me or me coming across muffled, so that’s a plus.overall, these earbuds are nothing special. i got these around the holidays when they were almost half off. glad i didn’t pay full price for these as they are disappointing at best.ETA: as of july 2024 i ditched these and bought another pair of airpod pros. literally no regrets.

Quality sound and build, BUT…

After using these for a couple weeks straight, I think it’s time to review.I would like to state upfront that I bought these on sale for $75. I bought the black ones because the pink ones weren’t on sale.Let’s start with some pros:The sound is very good, just about on par with my IEMs. These are definitely catered towards more bassy genres, but in the case of metal, I like being able to hear bass along side lead, and provides some heavy kicks. The physical button instead of just touch is an odd choice, but it works. The package comes with a free trial of Apple music (which I will never use), as well as a tiny usb-c to usb-c charger (so hopefully you have a spare usb-c block), and 3 different sized tips, small, meduim, and large. These have awareness mode, as well as a noise isolation mode. Awareness mode is nice, but noise isolation causes me to have a headache.Now some cons:This may be just my ears, but the small tip is too small, and the medium is just big enough to still be pushed out. The body is very smooth, and if you’re someone that produces a lot of earwax (like me), it won’t stay put and the only thing keeping it in is the tips, meaning you have to keep pushing them back in, and bumping the button. These sit in a very specific position, but don’t really like to stay there. Because of the sound mostly being catered towards bass, some leads and vocals can sound a bit muddy at times. By default, the case doesn’t have a loop for a string to hold on to and the case is very smooth, so you have to buy a third party case and put it over the stock case just to make it easier to hold on to. These come with an app, and it’s very lackluster. No equalizer, there’s a find earbuds feature but I’m pretty sure it’s not GPS, and you can’t mess with settings if the earbuds aren’t connected, not to mention: why do my earbuds need to update?!In conclusion: these are good earbuds and I recommend them, but ONLY IF THEY’RE ON SALE.These are 100% worth the $75 I spent on them, but NO WAY ARE THEY WORTH THE $150 RETAIL PRICE TAG.

Pretty good. Not GREAT, but not bad.

Whenever I see something with a 4-star review, it usually means it’s a solid product but there’s something (or somethings) keeping it out of 5-star range.For me, these are a perfect example of that. They’re small (good), not terribly obtrusive (only some out-of-ear-stick-out, tho your experience may vary), the sound has some solid bass which is helpful for the gym (where I tested these out), the sound overall is clear (download some equalizer apps to play with the sound itself), and they stayed in my ear well. I don’t know much about soundstage or whatever, but the sound itself is clear, bass is nice and strong, and you can hear even the subtle nuances like the shifting of a hand on guitar strings clearly enough without being disturbed. That, to me, is the sign of a good earbud.The transparency mode and noise canceling modes were alright. But that’s just it, they’re alright. Granted, the AirPod Pros have a higher price tag, so they do the ANC and Transparency mode much better. So it’s understandable that these would do the same, but on just the slightest bit of a lower level.I’m also spoiled bc the Airpod Pros have wireless charging. These DO have USB C, but the lack of wireless charging is a small thing, really. There’s something about being able to toss these on a charging pad and leaving them there to charge that’s just so satisfying. Also, was not a fan of how the case just doesn’t have that “premium” feel. The matte finish is nice, tho I would have liked a little more weight in the case lid, but at this point, these are such little (and I mean LITTLE) things that really, it’s not a dealbreaker.My only thing is the amount they stick out. I’m sorry, but they do look a little…funny, the way they sort of stick out just a bit so that the “b” logo is upright. They don’t stick out a LOT, but juuuuust enough that when you look in the mirror, you’ll see a vertical line where the physical button (which I have managed to press on accident a couple of times while adjusting the bud) sticks out. Also, I had a little difficulty getting them to stay in, but that’s beyond pretty much anyone’s control.These get that 4th star because of just how they are a solid enough product worth the purchase. They don’t do any one thing particularly well, but there are just enough teeny things for me that I wouldn’t say these are the best I’ve ever used. (For comparison, the Jabra 75t gets the equivalent of a 4.3 rating…the hear-through is amazing and their app really helps boost functionality).For me, these are SOLID gym earbuds. They play music loudly, clearly enough, and the bass is strong enough for me that I can drown out whatever annoying other music is playing outside. They fit and stay relatively well. For the price tag, you get some good bang for the buck. You could do worse, but at this range, depending on if you want to pitch in a few more, you could also do better.

Just BUY THEM (the best)

I’ve literally tried them all and these take the cake. The sound quality is amazing with noise cancelling. the fit is unbeat (even by apple). I lost mine first pair on an airplane and didn’t wanna spend this much, so i ordered a pair of other headphones and was so disappointed that I had to re order these. You won’t be disappointed!

Worth when discounted

I’ve always had trouble with earbuds or AirPods staying in my ear but right off the bat no secondhand purchase they come with 3 different sizes definitely worth buying they are as loud as a pair beefy headphones and can choose between noise cancellation and transparency

Nice ear pod

Good substitute for apple ear buds

Good headphones

Not quite noise canceling, but the sound quality is great! They’re comfy and have adjustable bud sizes, but they do tend to slip out of my ears a bit when I get sweaty working out. Overall love them! I’ve dropped the case a billion times and they still look brand new!

Good if you can handle the hassle

My Airpods died post warranty so I thought why not make a new change to see what’s out there. I heard Beats headphones are touted for their bass so I thought I’d give it a try. If I could go back in time, I would’ve went with air pods again.You might be seeing reviews about how these buds don’t fit and or fall out…they’re 101% correct. I even bought smaller bud tips and they still fall out. Often times they’re slowly making their way out of my ears even if I’m just sitting still. Putting them in is an absolute pain because you have to find “that right spot”, and during that you’re pausing, unpausing, and skipping whatever it is you’re listening to.The bluetooth connection is about 75% hit, 25% miss. The 25% is when I’m holding the buds’ case open waiting for my device to remember the existence of my buds because just plugging them in your ears isn’t a guarantee they’ll connect.It’s only getting 3 stars from me from a sound quality standpoint. The noise cancellation I feel could be better, but it’s not horrible. The music I listen to sounds clear and crisp. And I do enjoy the feature of being able to turn noise cancellation on and off.Overall: If you’re tired of whatever brand of earbuds you’re using and want to take a risk on these, go for it. BUT, if you’re thinking “I wonder if there’s better than airpods out there” from a curiosity standpoint, GO BACK OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! You probably won’t be a fan of these.
