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.

[@Mormielo]

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.

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.

[@Crackmonkey809]

Apple having competition internally is great

[@nathan.d.c]

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.

[@RemixerUltimate]

@Alucard Hellsing neither are AirPods, that’s not what they’re for. Nobody buys earbuds for their audiophile capability

[@Whomecouldntb3]

​@Alucard Hellsing this was a pointless comment considering no audiophile is gonna buy these looking to be blown away.

[@kareemellebany3559]

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.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

something i love of the clear plastic they used is that is not ultra clear, instead is actually semi-colored, aka, the one that actually looks good & nostalgic i hope we get to see Overhead Headphones with that look

[@christaaah]

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.

[@crazzp]

I'm still using the WF-1000XM3 but their battery is really terrible now. I barely get through 1.5h on each full charge.

[@Fesey_]

honestly, the microphone on those earbuds were shockingly good

[@cadenchurchill4296]

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.

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.

[@TheKing-qn9uc]

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

[@ThisUploaded]

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.

[@und3dpix959]

[@joshuad1716]

A Mac address video and short circuit video on these? Nice

[@JadeEyeland]

i had deja vu

[@HeathRS]

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.

[@greylawson6352]

Wow the mic quality is great

[@costafilh0]

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.

[@jorismak]

Haven't found a single device that handles wind, even with a dedicated wind mode (beyer / sony).

[@jonathanoneill6404]

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.

[@LutraLovegood]

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.

[@ronniebush2430]

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?

[@bbking006]

Would've been nice to see their frequency response curve compared to other earbuds

[@Breigner01]

Like I said on the macadress video, I'm pleasantly surprised that beats is making better products now. I bought a beats studio 3 not too long after it got out and I was greatly disappointed, it was too bassy and the cussion around the ears was so soft that the driver was straight up crushing my ears and I couldn't wear it for over 1h because my ears would hurt too much. Hope they will continue on this path.

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

[@rwinkler4321]

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.

[@TalesOfWar]

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.

[@calm-men6957]

No. Voices are usually at a higher frequency, which anc cant block well. Anc can block vehicle noises well because they are at lower frequencies

[@Fidgets808]

Actually in the settings of the beats you can change the buttons to allow volume control on them.

[@i_Gotcha_]

Jesus that transition to using the Mic on the beats was damn near flawless I had to replay it after seeing the comments lol thats how good they are!

[@macattack123mattc3]

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...

[@ichmiel1316]

Would be nice to see how close you can bring the frequencersponse curve to the target with an eq

[@mikewifak]

The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beats.

[@spiketheremixer9682]

But will they hold up? I guess we'll see over time.

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.

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!

[@ChaChaCafe]

Are these louder at full volume than the Beats Fit Pro?

[@ouroesa]

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.
