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

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.

Well, after having lost one of my AirPods (gen3) and not being able to justify purchasing a replacement left pod for $90, I started doing research. I came across these beats studio pros and looked at their stats. 40 hours of play time? Probably the most enticing thing about them to me. Then came the active noise cancellation, and spatialized audio. ANC intrigued me. I wanted it to be better than the AirPods at cutting out sound. While I was looking into these I happened to be doing it during Black Friday deals. Which meant I thought they were $170, which was the price of brand new AirPods. Then I saw their original price of $350. Which enticed me even more in a way, thinking of the price tag fallacy, higher price must mean quality. I mulled this over and over and eventually ended up missing the half off sale. Then I knew I wanted these babies. I watched and waited for a sale to come up again. I was not willing to pay $350 for wireless headphones, as I am not willing to pay $350 on just about anything, but thats just me. For me, $179 is splurging significantly. I caught another sale. I bought them and hoped for the best. I will have to be honest in saying I was hesitant to stray from AirPods and move over to headphones. The less I have on me the better, so having something sit in my ear rather than over my head appeals to me. But having my device constantly slip out of my ear or feel unsecured was not enjoyable. That’s how I lost my left AirPod in the first place. These headphones feel sturdy for me. I was pleasantly surprised. Although I still did not particularly care for a bulkier heavier device, I did appreciate their securedness. They do eventually make my ears sore but I usually just adjust them. I will not count this against them because every pair of headphones I have ever owned eventually made my ears hurt or gave me a headache. Im sensitive what can I say? The padding on the top band that goes over your head was a nice touch. The ANC is powerful. I loved being immersed in my music. I have no complaints really. Spatial Audio… I personally could care less about it, so I don’t have much to say about it. I just don’t use it as a personal choice, not saying it isn’t good. The sound quality seems adequate to me. The volume is pretty great, I never have to have it all the way up to get clear sounding audio or to feel like I can actually hear something. Which with my AirPods was a constant problem. The mic on these, I am thoroughly impressed with. Compared to my AirPods, its like award winning lol. People on calls usually can’t tell I am using a headset at all. I’m not sure how long it truly takes to charge them, as I haven’t charged them from dead to full yet. I imagine from the little bit of charging I did do when they first arrived they will take a little bit, but to me it’s worth it. Overall, I feel my money was well spent on a good product. I got a better bang for my buck with these beats than I did with my airpods. The compactness of AirPods are nice, and I like a compact item so having a larger device is something to get used to but I still think it’s worth it.

I’ve owned a few pairs of Beats over the years, and while I always liked the sound, they used to squeeze my head way too tight. They definitely fixed that with these. The ear cushions are incredibly soft, and I can actually wear them at my desk for a full three or four hours without getting that pinching headache. The sound quality is exactly what you expect from Beats—plenty of bass, but it doesn't muddy up the vocals or sound washed out. The noise cancellation is also surprisingly good. It easily drowns out the background hum of the office AC and people talking down the hall. One feature I’m actually using a lot more than I thought is the USB-C audio option. Plugging them directly into my computer gives a noticeably cleaner sound when I'm listening to high-res tracks, and it charges them at the same time. Battery life is solid too; I only have to throw them on the charger about once a week. They fold up nice and tight into the case, making them easy to toss into a backpack. If you've been holding off on Beats because of comfort issues in the past, these are absolutely worth a look.

I got these to give as a gift, and the recipient loves them. The headphones are extremely light yet effective at keeping outside noise blocked while using them. The Beats headphones have superior sound quality and comfort. They look just as good as they sound. I really was pleased to see the case and charging cords included in my purchase. These are some of the best headphones, and I enjoy mine and knew this would be an excellent thank-you gift. They have a 50 hour charge and easy volume adjustment and song control on the outer casing of each earpiece so you don’t have to remove them to hear your favorite songs at your personal comfort level. If you want superior quality in sound, comfort, and durability, you should get Beats!

4.5 stars.. So i just received these today so not a long term review, more of a general first impression. this is my second pair. I have numerous others to compare to. Ill compare to the previous generation and my sony 1000xm5's. compared to sonys . Musically they sound more rich and more lower end, just as clear. noise cancelling is about the same between the two. I got these for home and music. my sony's are for at work when i have to make calls or am just watching a video or need noise cancelling. Musically these sound better to my ear than the sony's. comfort is on par with teh sony's and these pack up better, fold in versus the sony twist to lay flat like apple air pod max. now compared to previous generation, these sound as good, maybe a little better. however, when talking strictly volume, the previous generation would cause you to go def, they were that loud. These high volume is maybe 10% more than sony, but easily 25% less than the gen 2's. that was my biggest issue with the sony's, i want to go def when i listen to something like hard rock. gen 2's did that easily. these at max volume wont cause you any pain because they dont get as loud. these will let you feel the bass in your ear, much better than the sony's but again nothing like previous generation. the only reason i replaced my previous is due to ear cup deteriorating after about 9 years to the point of becoming uncomfortable. these fit the same as previous and feel pretty much the same. the new case is no longer a hard case but a "pouch". it is somewhat tight to get in and out. They are usb-c, has cord and no block. Comes with 3.5mm cord also. overall, they sound good, musically better than sony's, slightly less on noise cancellation, fit better than air pox max. being apple based, connects the same as apple watch or air pods. My only real complaint is them not being as loud as previous gen, which made beats famous. I dont regret them as they sound better than most everything else and on sale, they are worth it.

Highs: Beats > Sennheiser. High frequencies are good in both headphones, but Sennheiser has them more emphasized. Sometimes it feels like if you crank them slightly higher you're gona hear sibilants. It's on the edge and this is not the most pleasant edge to me. However, the sound is accurate and somewhat distinctive in the upper-frequency range for the Sennheiser. As for the Beats, highs are as detailed as on the Sennheiser (if not more) but not overemphasized. Mids: Beats > Sennheiser. Sennheisers have a so-called v-shaped sound profile so it feels like Beats have way more mids. It might be even too much at first, but you get used to it. Beats are more detailed and fast. Sennheiser feels muddy in comparison (but still very precise and detailed compared to Sony and Bose). I think it's partially because of overemphasized bass that brings distortion into the mid range. You start hearing things that were not originally intended to be there by artists. Because of this, Sennheiser sounds more "musical", it fills the voids between the instruments and produces an overall "dense" sound. And the Beats have more reference sound. For many instrumental tracks (rock, metal) Beats might sound boring and hollow. I can't blame the headphones because such music is usually mastered to sound good on consumer electronics. And you can't put good "dense" sound into an average stereo system. It will sound too muddy and.. just bad. So they leave the voids between the instruments and try to separate them. But on a reference headphone, this sounds... well... too reference :) Electronic music is a completely different story, this is where Beats shine! Electronic sounds are way more precise. And with Beats, you get this precision (especially in the complicated EDM tracks; I mostly listened to psytrance, psychill, idm, etc. But an average techno/trance sounds good as well). Sennheisers sound fine too, but only until you compare them with Beats. Bass: Sennheiser > Beats. The Beats are precise, again, and so is the bass. If the bass was intended in the music that you listen to - you will hear it. And you will hear exactly as much as it was planned by an artist. Rap songs sound great because of that, as well as some EDM tracks with massive sub-bass. As for the Sennheisers, well, they are v-shaped still so they add a subtle amount of bass to the overall mix, and in most cases, this sounds fine and even fun. It also comes without surprise that in bass-heavy rap songs, it starts to sound too overemphasized. In terms of precision, Sennheisers are not as precise but still hold their ground well against sony/bose/etc. Soundstage: Sennheiser > Beats. Soundstage feels subtly more open on the Sennheisers. Probably this is because they are not as precise and produce more "parasite" harmonics that make instruments sound further from your head. I like this effect but this makes me wonder if it's possible to achieve a good soundstage for closed headphones without compromising the sound speed and precision. ANC/Transparency: Beats > Sennheiser. Beats are slightly better in noise cancellation and noticeably better in transparency mode. Not as good as AirPods Max, but kinda close. Sennheiser is not bad though, it's just not as good. Wind can be a problem for both headphones, but I don't care. Beats are better at blocking fan noise but may overemphasize it in the transparency mode. Mic: Sennheiser >> Beats. Sennheiser microphones are superior both in terms of volume and quality. Beats is really mediocre, on the edge of what I would call "usable" for the zoom meetings. On top of that Beats mic sounds really quiet in Windows 11 rendering itself useless. I hope new firmware/drivers will fix that. Ergonomics: Sennheiser > Beats. I like Sennheiser more. Beats have smaller earcups with stiffer ear cushions. Also, the clamping force on my average-sized head is obnoxiously strong. Not to the point when I feel a headache after wearing them for a few hours but still too much in my opinion. However, I like the fact that Beats are more compact. It makes a difference when I listen to them in bed, for example. They don't rub as much against the pillow and don't produce a lot of noise like Sennheisers. Sennheiser ear cups are rotating 180 degrees when on the Beats, they barely move. This is important if you want to move one headphone back to open your ear when you need to listen to somebody or something from the outside world quickly. Or if you're a DJ and need to hear monitors with one of your ears :). Sennheiser earcups pivot and stay perfectly adjacent to your head, unlike the Beats. Connectivity: Beats > Sennheiser. Both headphones are ok when you're near the source, but the Beats stay connected longer as I walk away from it. The usable distance is like ~30% longer. They also perform better for a source behind a wire mesh or a security door. I know that Sennheiser is capable of working with 2 devices simultaneously and this works pretty well. Not sure about the Beats but I don't really care... Controls: Beats >> Sennheiser. Beats are very basic. They don't even have a head detection. And this feels soo good after the glitchy Sennheisers! You can read more details in other Sennheiser reviews, but they are really bad in that aspect. I bit the bullet and used them as my daily drivers, and oh boy... settings were getting changed randomly, I had tons of fantom head detection events, and when I wanted to put them on or off I almost always accidentally touched the right earcup sensor and triggered something (usually play/pause).

Honestly, i haven’t found anything bad to say about these Beats Studio Pros. Like, the sound bass and clarity is fire! The comfort is there! Their adjustable and Super easy to pair with iphone 17. I got the brown ones and they are such a mature color, plus the brown match all of my high end bags🤎i love the invisible functionality of the buttons to adjust the volume, answer calls, talk to Siri, skip, play, pause and rewind songs. Excellent buy for the price! They were $179. I love the soft material. The carrying case is small and protective quality. #winning

I purchased these Beats Studio Pro- Premium Wireless Over-Ear for my Son over a year ago. I did purchase them when they were on sale. My Son absolutely loves them! He was an AirPod lover for years, but these Beats changed everything for him listening to music! I asked him specifically about his opinion before I wrote this review. He loves the size. They do look rather large, but they really are not. They are lightweight. The color black is nice and they stay in place perfectly. He said there is literally very little movement. The control buttons work perfectly. He loves the cancellation feature. He uses these when he walks around the college campus and he literally can hear nothing except music. These are very well-made. These are of high-quality! They come in a very nice case with a charging cord. The case is small and the Beats hold up nicely. When it states the word “Premium” I have to definitely agree as he does as well. I can’t say that I would purchase them for $349. I did get them on sale for $169. I’m happy with that sale price. If I had to purchase them for a regular price, I would say $299. These by far go beyond the music experience of the AirPods. If you’re in the market for wireless music in your ears, this is definitely the product to buy! I highly recommend!

You will never have a better quality sound than these beats but there's pros and cons in every product so i'll list them PROS Pretty efficient, good sound quality, a pretty good noise cancellation and pretty good to fold them as you can transport them anywhere with the case. Really great for relaxing and travelling from afar, pretty great for a headphones you'll want to keep for a few years, pretty rough as i smash them on the ground while walking because i'm a clumsy ass but it didn't scratch a little bit CONS They can be irritable to wear for a while, also the noise cancellation have a weird knocking noise on the left ear that can be annoying if you do focused tasks ( DO NOT WORRY, IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN YOU NEAR AN INTERNET ROUTER, YOU CAN ALWAYS CANCEL IT BY TURNING DOWN THE NOISE CANCELLATION), Also, a lot of the time, i had to cancel my bluethooth near my phone so that my tablet will connect to it as it doesn't have an M1 ship, which can be able to be focused on one apple device or android device, also gym is not recommended as it falls after a deadlift Overall, i recommend them for travelling, relaxing or studying.

l’ho prese per lo studio,adesso ho imparato la lezione,queste cuffie le compra chi non se ne intende,dopo una settimana in modalità isolamento si sente un fruscio,si sente lo scricchiolio della plastica,i bassi sono scarsi,durante le chiamate mi sentono male,dopo una breve ricerca ho capito che la qualità di queste cuffie è pessima,non fate il mio errore,dr.dre ha venduto le beats a apple che le utilizza come seconda scelta,la produzione di queste cuffie non supera i $30,e dr dre è stato il primo rapper a diventare miliardario,prima lo stimavo ora mi fa pena,grazie b…h

After reviewing several top end headphone brands I decided to try these Beats and I am very pleased with them. They’re comfortable and well made. Last a long time on each charge and can even charge from your iPhone via the usb-c cable whilst listening to lossless music or even Dolby Atmos music at the same time! They sound incredible with great bass and clarity. The different settings are great too for noise cancellation and surround sound (which actually works amazingly well!) or just having them set to normal sound works well. Wind noise is the only downside I’ve found but it’s not a deal breaker. Using them to make phone calls is really good and the microphone picks up your voice very well indeed so calls a clear. The way they fold up is very nice and the case is small enough not to take up much room at all and is excellent quality too. 5 stars!!

The headphones sound amazing—clear audio with solid bass and almost Bose-level noise cancelling. I really like the oval ear shape and the soft, high-quality feel of the materials. They’re super comfortable, and the rubber top band helps them stay in place without slipping. The pairing was quick and easy with the app, and I’ve had no connection issues. Definitely a great alternative to other high-end brands. The only downside is the carrying case—it’s well made but a bit snug, so taking the headphones out can be tricky. Still, an overall great buy.

These headphones are unbelievable. I bought them because I wanted the noise cancelling for the airplane. I can tell you all I heard was my movie loud and crisp! Best headphones I have ever owned. Highly highly recommend!!
