I have several earbuds but never considered full size headphones until I saw the Beats Studio Pro on sale for 180, after 2 days I think they are worth it at that price. I especially appreciate the fact that they can still be used while charging, the other thing I like is how they fold up into a compact easy to carry package.

Comparing full price 350 to airpod max on sale isn't really fair. You're comparing a 350 headphone to a 550 headphone. Obviously the airpod max is better. As I type this, they're both on sale, and it's $170 vs $400. Again, airpod max is a lot more money, even on sale. I think you're not giving these a fair review for what you get for the money. I get they weren't on sale at the time, but you should at least give your thoughts as to what price point you think they would have been worth it since you were comparing against airpods on sale, and knowing people are gonna be watching this months later.

Apple purposely hamstrung the Studio Pro, so they shouldn't really be compared to the Airpod Max. It's an apples and grapes comparison. You mentioned that you can get the Max for $100 less than what it would normally cost, but I just bought a pair of Studio Pros, from the Apple Amazon store for $179. I highly doubt that Apple will sell their Max at even $279 (but I'll quickfast-buy if it does). I bought them because my work headset was dying and I need ANC to work at home. The Studio Pro works better than my prior headset and is also built better, for a bit more than the price of the old ones. They function well enough for $179, IMO (but my Airpod Pros sound and work better for the same price - go figure). I agree with you about hand-off though. I think Apple should've added the H chip to them for the sake of folks that have lots of Apple products...they could've done that and also made them still compatible with Android equipment. I also agree with you on transparency mode - it needs to be better...not sure if that's tied to the H chip.

Thanks for your review. I completely agree as an Apple user lack of auto switching is a big pain or even simultaneous multipoint it doesn’t even have that. I bought some and tried to love them but auto switching meant like you said it’s awkward. Also in wear glasses and the headphones caused pain due to clamping force on my ears. So just returned them today now wondering what to do. AirPod pro I was allergic to the silicon so just have normal AirPods but no ANC or Transparency mode. AirPod max look good but so expensive. It’s a conundrum. If beats upgraded bios and allowed auto switching I could live with them i guess. But for now figuring out a plan B.

I really can NOT understand why you compare them with other headphones and especially with AirPods Max. It’s like comparing basketball shoes vs football shoes! (They are both shoes, both for sports so let’s compare them!) No, it’s wrong. They are different. Apple don’t make Beats, Beats make beats which is owned by Apple! Beats are also for android as you said, they fold, better battery life, they squeeze your head more because a lot fo people buy them for sports, have on/off button, they are lighter, cheaper, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, lossless support, you also pay for the logo… and of course all the disadvantages that you mentioned! To put it simple, if you compare 2 “similar” products that one has a lot of disadvantages and a lot of advantages over the other at the same time, its a bad comparison in the first place! AirPods Max aren’t better from Beats Studio Pro and Beats Studio Pro aren’t better from AirPods Max.
@davidvillanueva. Жыл бұрын
I compare them because they’re the flagship headphones from both companies, and they are both very similar more then they are different. The beats are not sold as sporty headphones and the majority of people are just going to use them for randomly listening to music or desk work. So since the price point is much closer now (because of discounts) I would recommend the AirPod max over the studio pros all day.

@@davidvillanueva.Ok, it’s obvious that we don’t understand each other and it’s cool. Keep in mind though, that you make a video trying to help your viewers decide if it’s worth it or not to buy Beats or something else and you end up saying that is not worth it due to your own personal use of them. You are only helping those who have the exact same needs as you. For example battery life is important, all these bad sounds of cracking don’t really matter when you actually use the Beats, the latency is lower due to Bluetooth 5.3, the sound is a little worse but can get better if your going to use them at home with cable, etc. Your opinion is not objective at all. Don’t get me wrong, your channel, your video, your opinion! But next time put a better Title! And thanks for responding to me in the first place. Peace ✌️

While I agree that $350 may not be a small amount to spend on headphones, I firmly believe in the importance of researching your purchases. These earphones aren't designed for audiophiles; instead, the Beats brand serves as a functional fashion statement. A significant portion of the price tag is attributed to the brand logo. If you enjoy bass-heavy music and primarily use them for workouts or on-the-go, they are a suitable choice due to their lightweight design. However, if you're looking at maximizing every dollar then you’re probably going to take the B&O route which is definitely not going to be cheap.
