Beats Studio Pro | Don't Buy Until You Watch This

[@Aesthetic_Al]

UPDATE: The Beats Solo 4 have now been released. Video on how they compare to these is now LIVE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3_Jdp9rpb1_aJo

[@S317537]

I just received these as a gift, having had the prior Beats generation, which I liked very much. I actually prefer the old ones over these new beats. Three cons come to mind: 1) I wear glasses, and these headphones do get tight when I have my glasses on after a few hours. I hope this will improve over time as my beats are still new. 2) they do not disconnect automatically/pause your audio, so if you are listening to something, you have to pause it manually before removing it (it's no biggie, but I would expect more from premium headphones). 3) my biggest issue is that they do not turn on/off when folding them like the prior would. I would remove and fold and call it a day... not this headphone. You have to again manually hold the off button to turn it off so it doesn't connect to your devices. Pros: 1) these headphones are more comfortable around the ear as they sit outside the earlobes, 2) I got the beige ones, and although the overall design did not change from one generation to the next, the new ones look more slick. 3) the casing. I like this one better, it is compact and even has small compartments for your cables. 4) they bring cables to charge and connect, which is crazy as they come from apple... Overall I would give them a C+ or B-. Right now, they are on sale on Amazon and best buy. I would not pay full price for them.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

You got them for that $179 deal! Glad you got them for that price, thanks for sharing I agree with your feedback.

[@cjadventures8840]

When you refer to the prior beats generation you mean the beats studios 3, right? Mine don't turn off automatically when I fold them.

I just copped a pair from Best Buy lol. I wish I would’ve known these yesterday instead so I didn’t have to wait until Friday to pick them up lol

[@mhmadmatar9835]

I bought them and honestly everything about them is great but comfort. They are comfortable at first, but after a while, they start to get uncomfortable and my ears start sweating. I don’t know if this is an issue with me, but I’m going to be returning them in favor of the xm4s Update: I got the xm4s and didnt like them as much as the beats so I returned them and bought the beats again. LOL Another update: after using them for about a month, they are really comfortable and the tension gets lighter with use. Would recommend these headphones

[@TheRolliepolly]

Best Buy has them for 169.99 as of today

[@ANDRE1mang]

Thank you for the useful review! Also including how it feels while wearing glasses! Because I wear glasses mostly when watching movies at home for the clarity.

How did they workout with your glasses ? I wanna get some and I wear glasses

@@BadKid95US they were honestly okay! They did not feel too uncomfortable. Here and there I would take the headphones off but overall not bad. It’s doable.

these are usually $349 but now they are $169 for black Friday and cyber Monday, considering they're $200 cheaper than the AirPods Max and still another $180 off thats a little over 50% off. I'm thinking about getting one!

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Hope you got one at that price. Honestly for less than $200 so worth it!

$349 for those is a total joke. That should be the AirPod Max's price.

[@Jano1998]

I just ordered Beats Studio3 Wireless in the decade red and black edition for 139€ on ebay. So happy I won that auction. Completely new and sealed. Very excited for when they arrive. At that price I can’t complain. Also more bass, a good functional case, louder volume and more comfortable cushions. Also loved the effect at 6:49 👍🏻.

[@weezyf775]

i just dusted off my beat studios after kinda forgetting about them after they broke. i stopped using them thinking it would be a couple hundred to fix., i just needed a $20 part...I'm so pumped to have these back. but to your point about listening to music on your MacBook and taking a phone call from your phone..I'm pretty sure you can do that with any pair of headphones assuming you have calls set up on ur mac.

[@isabellefortin7561]

I have very small ear and for me they are the most comfortable

[@sayuri_wrxsti]

The navy is colour is very cool :), I blindly bought these in Navy blue, love the ascent haha😅. 10+ years ago the OG studio were great :). And I personally have power beats wireless pro for gym :) had them for years, time to get some over the ear.

[@orland3376]

They have good sound as long as you are an Apple user, but in my experience it is not worth paying the regular price, I bought them for 179.99, the Bose Quite ultra is a better option to buy.

[@RomieDAHomiefrmthaBay]

They’re decent but they’re not worth it. I just picked up a pair of 2016s solo3 and they’re working perfectly fine for me. I want to be able to hear things around me to not look like I have big headphones on and I picked them up for only 74 dollars that’s a steal

[@darkcell06]

The first day I used them I put them on and vacuumed and I could not hear the vacuum running. I thought it was turned off.

[@joeblack1878]

I ordered the black one because i saw how much fingerprints the blue pick up in a video, but seeing your review of the black one doesn't seem much better. Now im thinking i should have went with the sanstone. I believe there is multipoint type feature for android users wih a chromebook . Thank for the review.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

If I was within return or exchange policy I would've switched to sandstone. I put a microfiber cloth in my carrying case to clean it a bit after the gym lol

[@captureholic]

I have been buying headphones and returning like 3 times. Got some JBL - returned cause it was small and not loud and too flat. Got the XM5s - too flat, not loud enough, played around with the equalizer and just didn't work for me. I need good bass so not sure what the hype was over the XM5s. Got the Beats Pro. Very quiet, had to turn up volume like 80% to hear well. Bass is good enough and sound is clear enough. We shall see. I might keep these.

[@ericmcloughlin5984]

I just picked up a pair of these on sale for $150. I have to say, they are a HUGE upgrade from the Studio3’s and at the $150 price point, they’re worth it

[@indooze]

Brownies are dope

[@louismixan2083]

Costco has a deal 180 and apple care plus for two years imo a steal for people that are rough on their tech items

[@Aesthetic_Al]

That's the best deal yet because of that Apple Care incentive. Enjoy brother

[@JonathanCortinas-t9k]

I returned these right away. They weren’t loud at all. TheSony Xm4 sound was amazing but they would fall off my head at the gym . So I had to get the AirPods Max

[@LoLo-vh2hn]

Are they good at the gym?

[@tokyoskyss]

Yeah I just bought them and when I tried them on at the store it felt like the perfect headphones but now at home they suckkkk. I don’t know if it’s my pairs that are damaged but the noise canceling feature doesn’t work at all and the volume is only loud enough when it starts to hit 80%. My Walmart brand wireless buds are veryyy loud just at 40% and they were only 10$ on sale. Plus these headphones are too expensive for how clacky they are

[@efontenette42]

Random question, what kind of sun glasses are those? They are very dope

[@kenpalmer4256]

So I went and bought a pair today to compare to my Airpod Maxs. The Beats don't compare at all. The airpods are more comfortable, mines the falling off your head. Mostly it came down to the sound for me however. The APM just sound so so good. Clean profile, the bass is amazing without sacrificing the mids and highs. I just hate that I had to spend an extra $30 on the bi directional 3.5mm to lighting cord, I'm not sure how apple is the only one that makes a bi directional one. Also to be noted, I use primarily apple music and tidal for playback. I sync both with Spotify since they have the superior playlists.

[@NRG_7]

Thats kind of cheating; bro took a flight without crying babies everywhere 😆 Insane review man, amazing job 🎉

[@briteredoctober]

They're a hard sell at $350, but at $170 (which they can be easily found at now) they're hard to beat.

[@rickandermatt9854]

I have the new beats studio pros and I do wear glasses on a daily yeah and after a while I noticed that the clamping was really tiring but after a while, breaking in the headphones they do loosen up a little bit so it’s not as much

[@Aesthetic_Al]

That is super insightful!! I still use these as my gym headphones. but for comfort my favorite headphones in this price range are the Sony Xm4. I also should've put that Beats get caught with my longer hair now when I remove them a certain way.

[@re9473]

I’m definitely having issues with mine. I brought some three days ago. I have the iPhone 14 pro and people kept randomly saying out of nowhere. I sound like an alien on the phone to the point where they just hung up because they could not hear me. It was just a weird annoying sound and I also kept hearing clipping sound on my left ear and it kept randomly doing that with different phone calls so I decided to take them back to the store, they gave me a new set. on the same day with the new ones people all of a sudden they said they can’t hear me out of nowhere to the point where I had to hang up and call them back and I’m buying these products from Best Buy so I don’t know if they need to be updated or this product is not for my iPhone or I’m just having bad luck

[@brooklyn.21]

Probably because of your phone carrier

[@Mdc490]

better these or the bose quiet confort 2023?? Thank you :)

[@lajazziamacklin8418]

I had Beats before. I noticed the left earbud wasn't working and I haven't gotten another pair of Beats since. I might end up getting the BoseComfort Ultra. Right now I'm wearing the AUSDOM headphones and I might replace them later for the BoseComfort Ultra. The AUSDOM headphones aren't really all that great. They can't even drown out noise like the most expensive ones can, which I noticed straight away when I was playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and my family were talking in the dining room. I could STILL hear them talking, even with ANC switched on.

[@DTSTANGO]

Nice, however, I have the (color Dune) Kim EDITION and I'm not impressed with the quality of the sound, which isn't as loud as a few of my other Beats Studio wireless and Solo-2 Luxe Edition. The battery life on the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Edition is amazing. I listened for 2 days and never went below 50% charged. The sound quality is why you're buying a $350 set of headphones that fell short with this edition, and wearing the headphones wasn't comfortable longevity. After a while, my ears began to sweat and felt the need to remove the headphones for about 10 minutes. In fact, I took the headphones off and turned up the volume because I was still testing the longevity of the battery. I decided to keep the headphones because of the unique and limited edition color.

[@Davidbelifting]

Got them on sale for $180 after tax and all, love them so far as gym headphones because I baby my airpods max just at home or limited outside. I do miss the water proofing of past iterations but they feel lighter, comfortable and great sound quality but of course I am hoping they improve in the future

💯AGREE! The Case and the 3.5 Aux Jack cable are so premium! I also have the Sony XM5, and Bose QC Ultra and big difference.

[@AntiPlastic]

I picked up the Beats a few days ago. The ANC isn’t that great which is the main reason I picked them up, other than the reason that I washed my AirPods in the washer and didn’t get Apple Care.

For that Black Friday sale going on at Best Buy and Amazon they are a steal. Preferred headphone’s under $200

[@redscorpion9325]

As of Wireless its not loud enough but if you use headphones Jack then you can make it louder and it’s sounds pretty good

[@javtimestwo]

The sound quality is great. Keep in mind if you want to listen to lossless and hi-res quality music, Bluetooth will never achieve that. No matter what headphones you have. Bluetooth tech cannot achieve that. You will need to be wired. For example, these headphones can support lossless via the USB C or the 3.5mm jack. Good luck!

Had mine since 2020, I’d say out of 10, it’s a 6.5. Folding and unfolding is fine and causes no issues, but since it’s plastic, I feel that it’d break more easily or dent if you dropped it outside. The ear cups however, did rip for me after 1-2 years from just general use.

Very minimal but it would be "less" if they cover your full ear. I dont see it as a bad thing as in the video I use these to lift at the gym a lot. When headphones cover my full ear make me sweat way more and it gets gross. just my feedback hope this helps
