The mic quality when speaking was quite clear, not muddy-sounding, and surprisingly crisp! Of course, it has 6 mics and should sound good but for being solely in-ear earbuds (ie, no stem), they sound great.
Honestly, the Beats look like a solid contender to the AirPods. Ironic that this is also from Apple, but still. Plus this one got USB-C before the AirPods did.
a contender against themselves, yeah. but I have the Beats Fit Pro. honestly the sound quality is pretty good and the battery lasts a good amount of time for me. wish the case battery lasted longer though.
Well it makes no sense for the Airpods to get USB-C before the iPhone. Better to use 1 cable for your iPhone and Airpods. I guess they should be getting USB-C when the iPhone does.
Please note - while it’s a choice and at the loss of noise control/voice assistant - you can set the buds to control volume with one press up/down - left or right. Your choice. You can also ‘scrub’ through tracks - double press and hold or triple press and hold - I thank you.
The Mac Address video got airpods graphs as well. This one probably didn't get that since this seems more standalone than the direct comparison MA did.
Damn, the transparent case looks so cool. I’m honestly will be swayed…. If WF-1000XM5 is not coming soon. The mic performance also seems to be pretty great too.
Im really glad beats are finally worth a damn more competition is great. That being said at thia price id recommend sennhieser or klipsch earbuds all day long. I love my twm2s and before that i had klipsch t52s sport and those are phenomenal. Probably the better sounding and its wing tips made for a better fit for biking. Problem is they use proprietary clip on ear tips and im all about comply foam tips over everything else. Between that and anc is the main reason im still rocking the senns and shelved my klipsch.
The colors are so perfect The transparent is the coolest one The ivory is the classiest out of them And the black is just the one you can't go wrong with (and probably the most appealing) I don't, I just love these headphones, and hopefully they'll be my next tws. Just hoping Apple doesn't prematurely retire them after a few years on the market.
Clear all the way omg. Just see them in person. I have owned the black ones already, have the clear ones now, and it’s beyond a doubt the way to go. By /far/ the coolest and best choice
Nice to see they've actually made these more comparable to the AirPods Pro than the older ones. Upgraded to AirPods Pro 1 from the original Studio buds and the AirPods are just so much freaking better. Sound is so much clearer, transparency is not only useable, but incredibly awesome, and noise cancelling is also so much more useful.
Transparency gives one extra perk aside from the shear cool factor. It makes it way easier to spot counterfeits. And apple/beats are notoriously very well cloned from a visual standpoint. It will be really difficult to pull off a clone when so much of the inners need to at least look identical as well now.
Honestly, this is one of the first times I've appreciated the graphs, as he explained why what parts of each graph were representing and why it mattered for this product. Do it this way for ALL of the headphone reviews! don't just say "they're punchy" or "lots of brilliance." I don't know what that means and I'm not going to take the time to learn.
And if you know what those means, a graph can tell you the difference between nicely brillant and grating on the ears after a while. If a review doesn't have a graph, I just don't trust it.
@@jamesjohnXII use the app im guessing. I do it with mine on an iphone in the iphone settings. You go to bluetooth, and press the i icon and change the controls.
I love that its transparent (thats prob the main reason why Im gonna get them) and I wish that apple would make this for the Airpod's pros. Like wouldn't that be sick
Too be fair you're dressed in 90s colors like in "White Men Can't Jump" it's only natural that everyone would be dunking on you. ❤ I actually really like the hoodie to be clear! lol
A good TEST for the video: Put a strong FAN on your face for a portion of the microfone test on the video. This would simulate wind and also good for testing options with dedicated wind reduction.
These are so much more comfortable to wear then the Sony XM4s. And, you can actually make a normal phone call. The mix is so much more real with the Beats, like I'm hearing old songs for the first time. The bass doesnt thump like the cheaper JBLs, but the music is so much clearer. Like this guy says, im hearing parts of songs and instruments that i didnt know were there. Im a fan! Did I mention how comfy they are to wear?
Just ordered some yesterday and they come in tomorrow, love what both apple\beats are doing, they need more products that are equally as good on andriod as it is with apple, love to see it!
I think voices tend to be audible still with ANC on because of safety reasons. If someone is yelling to get your attention because you're about to walk off a cliff (slightly exaggerated of course lol) you'll still hear them.
If they put wireless charging in finally I would buy a set. I had the original Studio Buds and found the battery life to only be about 3 hours with ANC on, so I bought the Sony XM4s. They sounded great when they didn't have connection issues, but after I went back to an iPhone I bought the new AirPods Pro 2s. I still think the Beats fit me the best of all of them. I'd be curious to see how the new ones sound compared to the AirPods Pro 2s. Listening to the original Buds side by side with them feels like the Beats have an ever more slight bit of bass, but the midrange is a bit flatter. Not a problem with hip hop and electronic, but I listen to a lot of rock and metal and the AirPods just sound a bit fuller to me. Both do sound pretty good though.
After my second pair of 2nd generation AirPods Pro let me down with constant static, I decided to try something new. Enter Beats - and wow, am I impressed! Honestly, I can barely tell the difference except for one major factor: these are so much cheaper! Since they’re still made by Apple, they connect seamlessly with my iPhone, MacBook, and iPad. The noise cancellation? Top-notch, just like the AirPods. But here's the kicker - these fit so much better! They stay put even during my most active moments. I’ve tried all the different earbud tips, and Beats just have that perfect design. From now on, I’m all about Beats over AirPods. Either way, Apple’s got my loyalty!
Little known fact, DR Dre sold Beats to Apple in 2014 for $3 billion, becoming the wealthiest hip-hop artist. He also joined the executive team at Apple.
Just bought the Beats Studio + without doing research but was blown away by how good the buds were. I'm especially impressed with the noise-cancelling feature it has. With technology like this, I'm hoping that one day an earbuds will exist with a "muffler" mode noise canceling where it cancels out loud explosions but still inputs voices like those muffles used in firing range.
Kind of ironic he's stoked about the transparent plastic, then mentions the two products that were aping the iMac at the time, which started the whole trend. While holding a product by the company that made said iMac lol.
I don't want to be "that guy", but in the interest of improving y'all's quality: Wow! Those headphones can actively cancel out 100 khz!?! That's amazing! (11:55) Also, cancellation at those frequencies (above about 600hz) can be hit or miss, due to the (relatively) short wavelengths and the processing latency in the DSP chips, and IMO is more dictated by the passive isolation of the headphone system. For a premium earbud, I would have hoped for more passive isolation, especially since I (and many others) am sensitive to noise cancelling (it gives me a headache). Then again, I am spoiled by my Etymotic triple-flange eartips...
They’ve definitely stepped up their game since the Apple acquisition. A step in the right direction and actually a worth-while pick-up compared to an Apple product if that wasn’t your go-to
Honestly looking forward to these. That said my daily headphones are still the Shokz OpenRun because they're amazing in the office - the sound quality isn't amazing but they have great battery life and it's nice to never have to take them off.
Yeah I remember when they were hyped and I tried them on. I couldn't hear the difference between them and my cheaper earphones I thought I was wearing them wrong or had bad hearing.
They seem great, but you can save $70 and buy a set of jlab epic air ANC or jlab epic air sport ANC and get 12+ hours of battery per earbud and 70 hours of playback with case. They come with a distinctive EQ setup, ANC and ANC pass-through (which works amazing), have Tile built into the headphones and have ip66 rating. They work with Google quick sync, and are jamb packed with a ton of features, and they carry a 2 year limited warranty, of which they pride themselves on, as it was a fairly simple process to have them replaced at no extra cost, multiple times within the 2 year time frame. You get just as many features with Jlab as you do with beats, possibly even more, all at a price point that makes sense ($99). I'm surprised you guys haven't seen or reviewed these headphones yet as they have been adding features to the epic air ANC series and can contend with some of the best headphones out there.. And Jlab is the first company I seen that uses the Tile app to find your missing device, which while searching for headphones will give you location as well as making the earbud(s) ring out so that you can locate them easier. Ear bud shut off, that's OK, Tile will still connect to them to find your device. Jlab uses Tile in several of their products and keeps innovating all while not changing cost to the customer. Jlab epic air sport ANC was released at $99 and since has not changed, even with a 2nd gen version being released, they still only cost $99.
I bought a new VW Polo GTI in 2019 and the soundsystem is from Beats. Only knowing 2010 Beats headphones I was a bit worried but these speakers are very nice.
The problem with in ear buds' mics is often that they cant separate noise from your voice as well. It would be good if you could include a short test with some wind and some clicking and clacking, like when you are in the kitchen.
I honestly just bought these for the color. But they are no where near as good as the earphones with the H chip But I love that Apple is trying to make earphones good for everybody but I really hope they will use the clear in the other beats that are basically made specifically for IPhones. And the spacial audio on these do not compare to the pros neither does transparency these are more fun but don’t sound anything like AirPods or Sony there is no comparison they are not even close !!
The buds look dope. The problem with Beats is they can look amazing, and perform amazing here and there. But what is the durability of the product? All of my Beats products up to the Powerbeats Pro have failed on me when I don't even rough them up or use them enough. Again, the device looks nice, nice to know they sound good. But will they hold up? I guess we'll see over time.
wired earphones are much more eco-friendly and doesn't degrade overtime to those have batteries inside them and can explode if not stored properly 😮 overtime.
Maybe a bit weird to shout out Soundcore in the end? Soundcore is an Anker sub-brand and LTT dropped Anker as a sponsor when they got caught secretly sending video and images to the cloud with Eufy sub-brand cameras about six months ago.
we need more clear/tinted clear electronics again. or clear ones full of water like those old LAN line phones back in 90s/2000s. those beats should come in those g3 imac colors.
would be nice to see comparisons to other similar/popular products in the same category when you show us the graphs, much like how you do with hardware review like GPUs. great video though
the range on my studio buds is wild. super happy with them. sometimes had range up to 75m. my co worker has airpods and the range on them is quite poor compared to these.
I agree with spatial audio on headphones / earbuds regarding the boomyness / far effect you were describing. On a proper Dolby Atmos speaker system though it sounds great, no boomyness at all.
Researched a lot and took a leap of faith, first time i paired, the sound was very low, i got disappointed and wanted to return it, just before packing it back o tried again and surprisingly the were loud and loved the sound quality, i have used Jabra Elite 65t, Bose sound sport, presently have QC35 ii, these definitely sound better than Jabras, at par Bose sound sport (even better bass), tried Airpods pro 2, these are definitely better
Earbuds! Headphones are a term used for a device that features two drivers connected by a headband and worn over the head. It's also used as an umbrella term that encompasses all the other terms. Headsets are headphones with microphones. Earbuds are small devices that fit directly into the ear canal.
the harman in ear target is boomy and shouty, and that graph shows that they emphasize that boominess and shoutiness even more. i can visually see that they dont sound good.
those air tight earphones are so dangerous. I've been so many people hit by a car due to not noticing their surroundings, this type of design should be cancelled
i wanted to get the airpods pros gen 2. i have the pros but i chose to get buds instead. been using it for less than an hour so i might be biased BUT so far i love them and they stay in the ear better than the pros. i love the battery life since im a PC maniac so i use it for long hours on weekends so not having to worry about battery is a HUGE plus for me (no pun intended)
