Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headphones offer a commendable experience overall. The noise canceling effectively blocks out most surrounding noise, though the transparency mode is not quite on par with the AirPods Pro. However, the head tracking feature enhances the realism when combined with transparency mode. The sound quality is decent, though not as premium as my Beats Studio 3. The bass is less pronounced, but the soundstage with Dolby Atmos is significantly wider, providing a more immersive listening experience. The build quality leaves something to be desired. Folding and unfolding them feels a bit plastic and cheap, although the ear cuffs are an improvement over the Studio 3's. Despite this, they remain comfortable for extended use. Overall, these are great headphones, and if you can get them at a discount, they are worth recommending.

Actually really good, I got them on sale and the sound quality’s great the only thing I’d say is the transparency mode just really doesn’t feel like it unless it you lower the volume.

I saw someone wearing a pair of these at a house party in el segundo and I knew I had to check them out. Being a brand by Dr. Dre of course I had to listen through the 2001 album. People think about base when they think of beats headphones and I could say that’s true for these but that comes with the sacrifice of the clarity of the lows, some music just didn’t sound as deep as it could. I also tested them with RAM by Daft punk and it can show some great clarity with highs, they sound clear and placed quite well. The mid section sounds pretty clear at times I did use Fay Websters Atlanta millionaires club and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to test vocal clarity as well as some piano pieces and it felt pretty good. The leather ear cups are incredibly comfortable and the head band is pretty lightweight after a while you forget that it’s on. The material is made out of plastic so be wary of creeks if you bend them. I love how it can be great for travel. It Comes with a little caring pouch. Battery life is very impressive however, one of the big features of the headphones is active noise cancellation. I feel if I’m using noise cancellation and there’s no music playing. I can’t actively hear the microphone trying to get rid of the sound Transparency mode also feels very robotic, my voice doesn’t feel like mine it feels like something I’m listening to. Being a beats headphone, I appreciate how easy they are to pairing to android and iOS however, being an Apple product disappointed it lacks features such as auto pause when you take it off or it’s inability to auto turn off when not being used. Overall the build quality I feel for its price is quite comfortable but not as premium as I want, as for features I do feel it lacks some essentials and it’s transparency/ANC could be improved just a bit. It’s most important aspect obviously being called studio headphones I would imagine they try to replicate the feel of working in the studio, I personally don’t work in a recording studio but it’s lack of clarity and depth in the lows makes me feel you might now want to produce music with these headphones.

These Beats are really, really, good. Sound is clear, crisp, and not dominated by bass. My only complaint is when in transparency mode, it amplifies EVERYTHING, small air flow sounds like someone with a raspy voice breathing in your ear! The battery life is crazy long!

The work phenomenal, and they’re a lot cheaper than the AirPod max. The transparency mode isn’t as good as the AirPod max, but truth be told I rarely use it. I like that they’re not heavy, but they have a durable feeling to them even though it’s plastic. It still contains the iconic beats logo like the last studio. The key feature is that I hate about this product is that it doesn’t have the H1 chip like the previous one. This means that you cannot share audio to another headphone while listening. when you watch anything with someone you can’t have your headsets in together at the same time.

These headphones are AMAZING. I was honestly blown away by the quality. Although the Transparency Mode isn’t as good as I expected, it does an amazing job at noise cancellation. I would recommend getting the Open-box Excellent Condition version, which is only $150. Despite being used, they look and sound brand new. Overall, these are a great pair of headphones, and I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Great battery too. Super confy. Transparency mode not as good as aipods pro 2 but its more than enough.

My AirPods Max died after 3 years of daily usage which is unacceptable, Apple. See Reddit for all the bricked APMs this year. I got these Beats to hold me over until the APM2 come out. They do the job mostly with some benefits - weight, portability, battery life, wired and lossless connectivity - and a few drawbacks - device switching, head detection, and transparency mode. That these don’t have device switching on iOS but support it on Android is laughable. Transparency mode is as good or better than most of the competition (nothing as good as APM) but sharp, sudden noises like glassware clanking distort. Sound wise, no complaints. They closely mirror APM. I’d prefer them to be a touch punchier without going old Beats.

These sound the exact same as the AirPod Max, but the transparency mode is not as good. Other than that, I was fortunate to get these on sale @ $180. I would not pay $299 for these. Awesome headphones though. I have purchased 2 pairs, one for me and my wife. Neither have given us trouble so far, but I got the Apple Care+ for $20 just in case (why not?!).

These could’ve been Apple’s best headphones. However, in true Apple fashion, they had to omit features to make the AirPod Max’s better and it’s a shame that they did this. No on-ear detection,no multi-point connectivity, no true find-my feature, and sort cheap and creaky plastic material keeps this down. However, in no way am I saying these are bad…….i love them even though the transparency and noise cancellation mode is not as top tier the AirPod Max’s. The USB-C and lossless audio is a big plus. At full price ($349.00), I would recommend the Sony XM5’s or the AirPod Max. On sale (like Black Fridays $169) I’d say pick these up without thinking twice about it.

This is perfect... especially when u watch movies, it gives you goosebumps... there's two things i dont like; there's no wear detection and no sleep mode. U have to turn it on & off every single time yourself. If u're apple user, this is a plus.

The transparency mode isn’t as good as the AirPod max, but truth be told I rarely use it. I like that they’re not heavy, but they have a durable feeling to them even though it’s plastic. It still contains the iconic beats logo like the last studio. The key feature is that I hate about this product is that it doesn’t have the H1 chip like the previous one. This means that you cannot share audio to another headphone while listening. when you watch anything with someone you can’t have your headsets in together at the same time.

I didn’t really like the transparency mode on these. I can barely hear if a person is talking to me while I’m watching a movie or hearing music. Also if you take them off the music or video will continue to keep playing. But the sound is crisp and clean but not like the air pod pro

I enjoy them a lot i personally prefer over ear headphone and these are perfect for my needs although transparency mode isn’t great.

Sound quality = Not great but passable Clamp force was way too tight, it gave me a headache. These don’t have ear detection, so that sucks. Solid build quality, nice carrying case. Transparency mode needs a lot of work. ANC wasn’t great but was passable, and the same for Spatial Audio. Not worth the full list price but if you can get past the clamp force, and find heavily discounted then go ahead and buy them. I returned mine.

So where do i start… this was my first reintroductuon to over the ear headphones and i gotta say im severely dissapointed. Ive used gaming headsets like the turtle beach stealth, or the corsair wireless ones, and those are amazing and provide ALL day comfort. These headphones i put on for a few minutes and already they were compressing my ear area the top where you adjust the headphones is fine it feels fine on your head but once they go over your ear its like the most uncomfortable thing youll ever feel its like someone is grabbing your head with both their hands and smushing it as hard as they can. I have a pretty average size head so I definitely dont think it has anything to do with that either theyre just so uncomfortable and they cause so much pain even after a few minutes with them on. Next the transparency mode and noise cancellation, so the transparency is barely transparency ive used other headphones with the greatest transparency ever but these ones are not it, even with them on its baeely transparent it feels like any old headphones without transparency. The noise cancellation also for some reason causes a lot of pain for me on top of the tightness of these headphones the noise cancellation feels like it puts your ears in a vacuum chamber and theres just this constant pressure like the feeling that youre on an airplane and ur ears are about to pop but they dont thats what these feel like and ive had other headphones with noise cancellation and it doesnt feel that way at all. The cables feel all fine the case is okay its kind of hard to get them in and out though. They feel extremely cheap and clunky every movement u hear the creaking of the plastic it definitely doesnt seem like a 350 dollar pair of headphones even 200 wouldnt be an accurate price for these. If ur gonna listen to any review please keep mine in mind these are not even close to the best at all thwyre horrendous and im not entirely sure how they have such good ratings. The sound quality is also subpar.

These headphones are horrible. I bought them hoping they would have good noise cancellation and good sound. When I opened them the headphones themselves felt cheap and sounded even cheaper. My AirPod pro 2’s blew the beats out of the water. The noise cancellation was so bad and transparency mode was even worse. After about 2 weeks of only using the beats I switched back to my AirPod pros and decided to return the beats. If you are looking to spend a large amount of money on bad headphones then buy these.

This worked for a few. And then few days later, noise cancellation & transparency works a little. And then, this headphone is making a rumbling, scratching & hissing noise on a right side on transparency & noise cancellation mode, & popping noise on both sides on transparency & noise cancellation mode, which is super annoying. Had to get it in for a repair, and then about a month later, it happened again. Do not buy from Best Buy!!! Waist of money, so not worth it.
