Wireless charging isn't even that good. It's usually slower than wired charging and for phones you can't even use your phone while wirelessly charging it.
I own AirPods Pro, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Beats Studio Earbuds...I prefer the Beats when I want to listen to music. Beats has the best package when it comes to style, bass, and comfortable fit. I'll admit there are better earbuds for ANC, transparency mode, and sound quality but when you let your music be the star of the listening experience...Beats shine.
Excellent. I too own AirPods Pro and even the older 1st gen AirPods which I still use for conference calls. I may consider the beats buds in black for stealth look and for music.
@@corpuzone that’s exactly what I love about these Beats. I wear mostly dark colors like navy blue and black so the Beats blend with my clothes and nothing hanging out of my ears. Beats have that extra bass, clear vocals, and they get loud so it’s always a great listening experience
I enjoy these a lot. The mics haven’t been a deal breaker for me personally and I actually enjoy how these seem simpler than the pros that I’ve owned for a year and a half. Biggest selling point was fit these actually fit in my ear unlike the pros.
@@mendiola1992 absolutely. The pros never had the right fit for me I had to buy aftermarket wing tips just to keep them in and that was a pain. These are totally different they fit me perfectly right out of the box and I think one of the other tips fit as well but the mediums are super nice and maybe because they’re traditional style ear tips they just sit nice and snug in my ear. They don’t slip at all even when I’m sweating a lot from a workout or walking.
I just bought these for my preteen sister for Christmas and think she'll love them. She has no phone, so the crappy mic is no deal breaker. She'll use them for music playback from her new MP3 player, another Christmas present, or her boom box, or for movie/show playback on her TV. In theory, ty'll work with her Switch too, which could be nice for her.
@@Clynt1purcell they shouldn’t because they are pretty light but if you do they come with bigger silicone tips. I use a large in my right ear and a medium in the left
i'm very satisfied with them. I have used but never owned airpods pro for myself so I can't make an accurate comparison for that. However, I bought these simply because of the cheap price for a solid, named brand product. I found them on sale for 130. The sound and anc is solid. I mainly use them to workout and I have no complaints. They stay in my ears and sound great.
Thank you for this review, i am a truck driver and honestly the mic quality is a deal breaker for me. I was close to buying these but thats a big NO, my co workers won't be able to understand me clearly, especially with the background noise a semi makes.
I use earbuds for up to 8 hours basically every day at work, was previously using raycon everyday earbuds but I got these beats studio buds for Christmas and have been very satisfied so far. The transparency mode is really impressive as with my raycon I could barely hear outside noise, but now am able to hear people while listening to music at a decently high volume. My only complaint with these is they easily slip out of my ear canal. They've never fallen out of my ear but I'm constantly having to push the buds back in. Overall I give these an 8/10, knowing everybody's ears are different so these may fit perfectly for you
Me too, im constantly taking a glove off to push it back in and twist it in place. I’ve noticed that it happens less if i clean out my earwax everyday.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ru-vid.comUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
i just bought these and i actually like them more than the Airpods!! i asked my spouse to call me and we had a slight conversation too see how a call would sound because i heard it was bad, well my spouse said i was clear as a bell and that they could hear me perfectly, so far i have had positive out comes with the Beats! plus they just look better!! i bought the red ones, i love red so it was nice to have a color choice, i would absolutely tell anyone that ask me that they are a good purchase.
I’ve just bought these but I’m wondering if you can listen with one out of the case & one in? Sometimes I don’t want to put both earbuds in but my old Sony earbuds only worked with both buds out the case :)
I agree with you. Finally someone with my same ears. I think these beats sound better than my AirPods Pro. Louder, better bass, and still a great sound stage, plus with the better seal in your ear you hear the music clearer as well since to me the ANC works better for that same seal reason. Not sure why people think ANC on the AirPods Pro are so amazing. I think it’s better on the Beats. But still neither are as good as my over the ear Sony WH-1000XM3’s, but that’s to be expected. The only reason I’m not selling my AirPods Pro at this point is because their mic is the best and I use that for work almost everyday. But for the gym the Beats are hands down the best headphones I’ve owned (previously I gave that crown to the jabra 75T’s and that’s even after owning the Beats Powerbeats pro before those). P.S. I recommend replacing the tips on these with comply tips. Eve better sound, bass, and ANC
Yea I feel like I’ve noticed that too after doing many of these kinds of comparisons over time and listening to the same hvac noise being canceled out..
It’s because noise canceling improves overtime and maybe it makes them seem worse or it’s just because we felt more impressed then less impressed now just like how the iPhone X used to take great photos now since we have the 12 pro max it seems worse
I Like these beats earbuds, I haven’t used my Apple AirPod Pros the last 2 weeks, they may not have all the features as the AirPods but sound amazing listening to rock, they don’t feel like they’re going to fall out, I use at the gym with no problem. I personally don’t like the ANC or transparency modes so I don’t use and by not using I’m getting 7-7 1/2 hours per bud, and I have at lease one in my ear all day at work without any discomfort. Phone calls could be better but I’m getting used to the different sound and nobody really hasn’t complained, come to think about it even before these using my AirPods the only time my calls sounded good were when the other side was using AirPods.
I agree 💯 my airpods pro have more features. But when it comes to listening to music ( The MAIN reason why I buy earbuds or headphones) i definitely prefer the studio buds 👍🏾
I tried AirPods Pro that I purchased July 5 for first time today and I’m quite impressed. They stay in my ear unlike my AirPods 2 and they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, NC is absolutely incredible for such small ear buds and the hear through sounds totally natural unlike my Jabra 65 and 75T Actives
This has nothing to do with AirPods lol this is a video about beats. Beats are way better than air pods anyways. And what’s better than beats is Bose😁 I have them both I will never own Air-pods did once took them back
@@kevmack187 you saying that air pods pro is better than than a over the eat beats pro solo I think not you do not get that same sound experience with a over the ear than in the ear headphone I have to beg the different in air pods pro. I’m not a big fan of air pods because the sound quality is not there like beats solo pro.
Glad you made a second video expanding on the sound quality of these. I have had zero complains when it comes to sound quality, I love them way more than my Pros but I realized that if I want 8 hours per charge, I gotta turn my volume down 🤣
@@horseflypro it doesn’t matter how loud or quiet I have them, the battery drops pretty fast and it’s annoying but the sound quality is so good that it’s not a deal breaker for me
I only reason I would always go back to apple AirPods because of the pressure when you have the earbuds in your ear. Love the spatial audio features in the AirPods Pro.
Returning mine due to the horrible call quality. Unusable unless I’m in a silent closed room. I’m so angry because I really like these earbuds in every other way. But I often work in an open office and 100% of callers have said they couldn’t hear me.
@@snappishmonkey5630Airpods Pro do both adequately but don’t fit my ears properly. I’m looking for an AirPods Pro substitute and I mistakenly thought these might be it. And I don’t want to carry around 2 sets of ear devices with me everywhere I go. I’m sorry if this concept offends you.
@@unCoopervised try galaxy buds pro. I had them and they were great sound and call quality. I returned mine for the beats buds due to the uncomfortable fit. The beats feel amazing
@@unCoopervised I’m not offended, I just don’t understand why people are saying they are garbage just because the call quality isn’t there. But to each their own. I enjoy mine
These earphones are pretty solid. For $100 they are almost a steal. I am an iPhone user and I really wanted that quality of life the AirPods provided. The only thing I don’t like is not having the sensor when I take the earbuds out. My review as an iPhone user who used to have AirPods: ANC: 8/10 Transparency: 5/10 Comfort: 9/10 Sound: 7/10 Price: 9/10 Mic: 6/10 Looks: 7/10 Case: 7/10 Battery: 6/10
Every time I buy a “beats by Dre” product I always read the “it’s all about the music” quote, now I let my music do the talking for me I can say confidently the beats are the best personal earbuds for me (I only say this because of the genre of music I listen to especially since I change genres a lot from 90’s rap to Metallica)
(iPhone user)It was Beats or Air Pods 🤔. I recently bought the Beats Studio due to my brother’s recommendation. And I’m glad I did, for the extra usage hrs and better sound quality at $99.99 Sale it’s a no brainer. Well worth it.
Hey I just got mine and I got them off of Amazon and when I turn on and or transparency mode I hear weird noises when I’m not listening to music on it I was jus two seeing if u have the same problem
I made a terrible mistake getting Jlab buds they suck and returned them. These little guys are awesome and sound amazing. Worth every penny. Dynamics are great. all I listen too is rock and metal pretty much.
I prefer Beats Studio over Airpods /pro, for better sound, battery life, comfort, noise cancellation, and won't slip out of your ears running! The only thing I wouldn't recommend them for are calls.
I picked up a pair today the the local Apple store, I am rocking them all day, so far I love them with my Moto G Power, seamless pairing, nice overall sound, sleek design and fast USB C charging, I'll keep these for my Android device and the AirPods Pro for all the Cupertino ones.
after two years of release, I finally got this pair along with my AirPods Pro. Your review is bang on, the microphone quality is literally useless when taking a call in an open environment let along lack of H1/W1 chip & auto pause play feature. Great review !
These are my first Beats. I love my AirPods (Gen 2 & Gen 3) but they lack noise cancellation. I need earbuds because I wear a hood most of the time. I really like that they come in red too. Red is my favorite color. The only thing I have that comes in red but I chose another color is my iPhone SE3 (2022). I chose Starlight because it looked better with the case I already had
i found these at a pawnshop after my beats X gave out (yes i’m a big fan of Beats X the best earbuds i ever had i’ve had 5 pairs 😂) & these are awesome ! great isolation & amazing sound (well not amazing with the stock sound but i suggest fixing your EQ in settings) best 80$ i ever spent ! plus they still have the warranty lol whoever ditched these things while still brand new i thank you
My dog stole my AirPod pros and hid them from me to never been seen again. So I bought these in black, I must say I don’t miss my AirPod pros one bit now.
I really like my APPs since I started using Spatial Audio. It doesn't work on most websites but I hope it'll catch on more since the release of the AirPods Max.
Thanks for the review. I just bought a pair of these Beats Studio Buds. Generally with Bluetooth earphones in a quiet environment, the best audio quality is with both active noise cancellation and transparency mode turned off. Certainly with the big brother Beats Studio 3 headphones , I have found this to be the case. However , the studio buds sounded very bass light in “off” mode. To get enough bass , I felt forced to use ANC or transparency mode. That said ANC audio sounded decent enough and was better than transparency mode in terms of getting the best audio quality. EDIT: maybe there has been a software fix, now off mode sounds the best provided you are in a quiet environment and there is a nice warm tight bass. These sound excellent now, it’s hard to believe what these are capable of.
It’s amazing how two people can listen to the same earbuds and one find the bass to be very light or not enough and the other might find the bass to be deep or too much. Everyone raved about the Sony X M4, so I bought a pair and I could not believe how unimpressive the bass was . I really can’t go by peoples opinions . I have to buy them and test them for myself. And the xm4 lack volume. I think these earbuds are built with granny and older people in mind or a certain type of customer. They’re not built for listening to rock, rap or music that’s bass heavy.
I encourage ppl to watch at least a few review videos for the beats Studio Buds. Its interesting how perspectives differ. The other eviews I watched didnt complain about the mic even tho they acknowledged that its not as good as the Apple earbuds
I am using Linux Desktop primarily for programming, while also have been testing macOS in VM, enjoying watching RU-vid videos about M1 MacBooks and I would love to get my hands on Macbook 14 :), Unix, Optimised OS, Boosted ARM chip, Great battery; Unrivaled Laptop for programming .
I have them. I use them at work and the gym while I use my AirPods Pro’s everywhere else. I dig the setup. Allows me to prolong my AirPods battery longer now. Only thing I hate about the buds is that it’s hard getting them buds into the case quickly as the pros
I prefer these over the airpod pros and I got both. The simplicity is just nice and better for music and the things you more need earbuds for. Better fit imo too. You aren't getting cyrstal clear audio with a earbud microphone anyways, so people can deal with it. I've also had the Bose Quietcomfort and while I loved those for the bass and music audio like these, these are a bit less straining on the ears and can sit longer. The no wireless charging sucks though! Why!!! lazy problem, but wireless charging is just nice and feels like taking care of your item better
Personally I loved the heavy bass in the old beats by Dre. Kinda reminded me of having 12” subs in the trunk. As soon as apple paid billions they swapped the bass and put 1/4 of it into AirPods and took it out completely in beats
That illustrates the problem with the microphone being so far back and away from the mouth. Sounds garbled. But... for just listening purposes, it sounds like this would be the better product.
Just bought these today at Costco. After watching your review about the microphone not being so well, I was bummed. I had my wife call me but she said I sounded muffled. I do use my headphones A LOT at work and bullshit with my fellow co workers. Music sounds great but oh well. Good thing costco has a 90 day return policy.
@Edward Hi, so did you end up returning your studio buds? I am more concerned about the microphone cos i make a lot of calls. I need more feedbacks on this to make a choice.
i pre ordered these i immediately wrote these of as trash especially the transparency mode. I will buy these again and try them out. Still my go to is the new sony and the galaxy buds and of course the airpod pros
I’m probably going to return mine because of the numerous issues I have had. They randomly connect to my phone while they are in the case, the left bud only charges when the case is open, and they cut in and out when I move around. I’ve had similar issues with my other beats products, and this is really frustrating me. (This is not an issue with my phone, as other headphones do work)
I usually use Audio Technica earbuds but they do not have noise cancelling. I just left my headphones in the airplane so I need a new pair. The headphones were too hot and annoying anyway so I have been looking for earbuds with noise cancelling for mowing and being in airplane. Therefore microphone issue should not be problem for me. And now they are only $80. Thanks for your information.
i totally agreed with you mate, i owned samsung galaxy earbuds pro n sony wf1000xm3 which im sure won't be so much different than the xm4. I just loved overall the balanced sound of beats studio buds.
