NEW Beats Studio Pro Review: Better On Android than iPhone?

For just the fourth time ever, Beats has released a new flagship pair of headphones: The Beats Studio Pro. We couldn't wait to test them out.
Do they sound good? Yes. Look good? Check. Feel good? You betcha. But with their hefty $349 price tag, do they hold their own against Bose and Sony in the ultra-premium over-ear headphone space? We'll find out.
Plus, find out why this is the first Apple product I've ever tested that works better with Androids than iPhones.

Will you be picking up the Beats Studio Pros? Let us know in the comments below!

[@KentVNoto]

What is the ipx rating?

[@MsDJDaze]

I hear ya, but there’s something about that brown colorway. I had to get those. Love how it looks.

[@chadcooke7390]

first!! I love your guys channel! I think your guys headphones breakdowns are always the best! Also I learned how to DFU my phone cause of you guys so THANK YOU!

[@PayetteForward]

Thanks Chad, really appreciate it!

[@sebcasa2711]

Hey guys, big fan! Quick question - what should I make sure I look out for or do before canceling my iCloud storage plan as I don't need it, however I do use my iCloud sync across several OS and IOS devices, is that a problem?

[@rodneyfletcher1446]

Hi, currently on the beats studio three. Using dictation from them right now to write this message. However, do the new headphones offer the aluminum over the head and the arms?

[@CostinMoraru]

hopefully they will work with iPhone lossless over usb-c once the iPhone 15 launches.

[@aviation259]

Does the type c port compatible to the type c to lightning as well?

[@jbathauer1005]

Where is David?

[@dplj4428]

I wondered too. 5 months. And now it's 2024 January.

[@andrewdickinson1649]

Hi I bought a pair of these but were really uncomfortable when wearing my glasses leading to ear pain; without glasses are fine but with so annoying. I have a big head so even the band hurts my head as not enough padding. The auto switching does not work on iphone so means when I am say on a Pluralsight course with ANC I can't hear my phone calling as it doesn't come through... All previous headphones from £30 to £200 all had this which I've have had. The fact it does this on Android but iPhone is weird and seems like a miss....

[@electrology]

Does it have multipoint connectivity? Meaning connectivity between say, my Pixel phone and my work Mac at the same time and switch back and forth. Or between my Pixel and my personal windows PC

[@chrispineo1979]

Android devices yes. Apple devices no / not yet. Not sure if your specific combo would work.

[@electrology]

@@chrispineo1979 it didn't work. So I had to return it at the same speed I bought. Also the ear cups aren't surrounding my ears. It gives me more on ear type feel. Not liking that

[@dplj4428]

I see Apple Store 2024 January has that sandstone, black, navy, brown. Apple bought Beats from Dre and Jimmy Iovine in 2014. What did they actually acquire? Branding and market demographics, or the whole Beats?

[@ThomasEJohnson]

Can you go USB-C to USB-C with an iPad and get top-quality audio?

[@PayetteForward]

I believe that's the only way currently to get lossless on any iOS/iPadOS devices currently!

[@albertkrussell5295]

Should I get iPhone 15 or 15 pro for listening to music via USB C with Beats Studio pro? I can’t decide it because there are two different types of usb c speeds and I don’t know whether they have any differentiation on audio output qualities. Thanks in advance.

[@deykno87]

Need studio 3 volume on these dassit

[@2allanator]

No the cable isn't coming back except for in the studios!

[@MrT-cz8ol]

Just to be clear, you won't find Beats headphones in professional recording studios and are not good for mixing as they don't reproduce sound accurately. But, if you like how they look and sound, so what.

[@Fedzor]

The Studio Pro have improved 10x fold over the previous generations, comparable to the Airpods Max sound, which is very impressive.

[@petepotr4078]

@@Fedzorcould you clarify if you are commercially sponsored by Apple?

[@samsaumaralikhan]

⁠@@Fedzorbut the Airpods Max does not sound that good.

[@elmaster6207]

Wh-1000XM4, QC45, Momentum 4, Airpods Max, etc, you will never find any of this headphones in professional recording studios, why do people always say that about Beats.

[@deykno87]

The cable matches the MacBook

[@sunnychan1987]

Would it be very uncomfortable if I am wearing it with eyeglasses?

[@dplj4428]

Comments on thread here say yes uncomfortable with glasses on. Generally problem for headphones.

[@zombieimpact2790]

I think they should have gave them a different design.

[@HSNG10]

If we go by Apple playbook, they will drop a distinct color for Beats Studio Pro mid life, maybe the iconic white/black/red styling. That's what they do with every iPhone generation...

[@mole1596]

Someone doesn't know much about fashion but that's OK - nobody's perfect. Explains why your thumbnail is super busy. :D Do they sound as good as the AirPods?

[@javtimestwo]

IMO, the $349 price tag is overhyped because it has become very easy to find this item for at least 40% off or even more. So that lowers the price to the range of $170 to $180. Enjoy!

[@ThatDudeDon]

These work great with iPhone and Mac. Apple ecosystem is way better than android, miles ahead.

[@petepotr4078]

Are you guys commercially sponsored by Apple?

[@Angry-wasp-]

Awful headphones, poor sound quality,no bass, low volume. I returned them,gobsmacked people are buying them.
