Customer Ratings & Reviews

The headphones are really just average. They have ok sound quality. They could be a little louder, and have an overall cheap feel to them. They don’t feel like a 300 dollar pair of headphones. And the bass isn’t really there as you would expect from beats. They are really good for working out as they don’t fall off my head and the noise canceling is really good the transparency mood is ok not too good but no really bad either.

I decided to go ahead and write a review, since I opted (in the end) NOT to return these headphones to Best Buy. I have really wanted to like them, and I guess I will have no choice now but to continue to do so. First of all, the positives: they look great, they have a fantastic battery life, and they eliminate the need for fumbling at your ear constantly while working out. I quite enjoy the Black/Gold Best Buy exclusive color scheme and I’m not very big on fashion. They come with a nice case also. Now the negatives: they do get very sweaty and aren’t IP rated, the sound quality varies, and the noise cancellation is just okay. I use them primarily for working out and playing a Nintendo Switch Lite. They are easy enough to connect and get the job done. I do enjoy that I can put them on for an hour straight and not worry about them falling out of my ears or the battery dying. I have only charged the headset fully a handful of times. At full price for $350, they are likely not worth it, unless you have that kind of money to spare. But if you have THAT kind of money to spare, just spend the extra $150 and get AirPods Max. However, on sale, these may be right for you if you have the same complaints I do about earbuds and their propensity for popping out. I bought the Beats Studio Pro on Cyber Monday for $159 which is why I decided to keep them. I was up in the air between these or another pair of AirPods Pro (I have lost two pairs). In the end, I will live with my decision, but overall sound quality, ease of use, and best noise cancellation goes to AirPods Pro, and I haven’t even tried the 2s.

Great battery, design, and sound. Perfect for apple products, and sale price was hard to resist

After a terrible experience with the Beats Studio+, I told myself I’d never buy Beats again. But when I saw these on sale, I couldn’t resist and decided to give them a shot. I’ve got to say, even at a discounted price, they’re not worth it. These headphones are supposed to retail for around $200, and if you’re seeing them for that price, I’d advise against buying them — they just don’t offer the value. For comparison, I own the Sony WH-1000XM4, and those headphones blow these out of the water. You can often find the Sony headphones on sale for about $224, and they’re far superior in sound and performance. I bought these Beats for $150, and I honestly still think they’re overpriced. In terms of sound, I’m not an audio expert, but I can say these headphones are just basic. They don’t sound terrible, but they’re far from impressive — they’re just… meh. The noise cancellation isn’t great either; I had to double-check multiple times to ensure it was on, but even then, it didn’t feel effective. They do support lossless audio, but only through USB-C, not via the AUX. As for build quality, they’re made of cheap plastic, and the buttons make the most horrible, cheap click sounds — they feel like knockoffs, even though I bought them from a major retailer. On the plus side, they do sound better when connected through USB-C, as most wired headphones do. They also don’t have the connection issues I had with the Beats Studio Buds, so that’s a relief. I’ve been using these as my daily headphones because I don’t mind if they eventually break — I got them cheap, and when they do give out, I’ll be upgrading to something better.

The headphones have good noise cancellation even without music, charge fast and the battery span is long, but the left side went out after 5 months.

They look good, sound good, and overall performance is excellent. They especially sound good with Spatial audio and movies with incredible sound effects. Very immersive experience. I am not hard on my headphones and I have to go take them to the Apple store to get them replaced because the foundation broke without warning. I do have kids so something that I didn't see could have happened but I usually keep my Beats close so they don't have encounters with them. I'm very sad about this and using some in-ear Monster headphones in the meantime. Hopefully, Apple rushes them back to me because I do not want to be without my Beats!

My headphones came dirty like they were used/touched a lot.They had marks on it. I don’t really care enough to return/exchange them because they work perfectly fine. Yes they’re good quality and I would recommend them but they make my head hurt after a while.

I’ll be going through AppleCare to see if they can be easily fixed or replaced, and I’m hoping the process is smooth. Comfort-wise, they’re great—but between the build quality and inconsistent (or nonexistent) connectivity, there’s definitely room for improvement.

I can still hear the rumbling of the car when im inside it, I can still hear the music when radio is on. The sound quality is fine, if the comfort is an issue id reccomend replacing the cushions with thicker ones.

They sound good and the transparency mode works great, but the noise cancellation is surprisingly poor in my experience.

It's hard not to feel a pang of nostalgia for the days when owning a pair of Beats headphones equated to a certain level of status and prestige. While the Studio Pro model offers better noise cancellation and improved sound clarity compared to its predecessors, the sound quality still falls short of its price tag. Audiophiles seeking an immersive sonic experience might find themselves yearning for a more balanced and refined audio profile. Despite their sleek design, the Beats Studio Pro also falls short in delivering a comfortable wearing experience during extended listening sessions. The padding on the ear cups and headband, while visually appealing, lacks the plushness needed to keep discomfort at bay. These headphones are simply a statement piece that echoes the past allure of Beats, while leaving room for growth in the realm of acoustic performance and comfort.

The bears sounds great but I guess my head is to small for them… I couldn’t workout

They aren’t as loud as you would expect them to be for the price point of 300$+. Music is clear and headphones are comfortable.But I was expecting more out of them.

It's comfortable and protects the ears from noise.

After about 15 mins of having these headphones they began to hurt your ears so I have to take them off for $350 dollars these shouldn’t hurt your ears at all

I received the wrong color. It only been a month and a half and theres already something wrong with the right speaker.

The bass could be better other then that the sound quality is good

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.

For reference, I own the Airpods Pro 2, Airpods 3rd gen, Airpods Max, and Sennheiser HD 550S. I love every one of these headphones and was hoping to get a lightweight and stylish alternative to my Airpods Max that could be my daily driver. For those who own 3rd generation Airpods or newer, don't get these. For those who don't, wait for a sale. The battery life is easily the best feature of the beats studio pro sporting a higher battery life than all of my other portable headphones to the point that I never had to charge them for the whole week that I had these. The noise cancelling is pretty effective falling short only to the Airpods Max and Sony's XM5s which is saying quite a bit. The transparency is better than every other headphone I've tried aside from any of the Airpods Pro or Max. As for the sound quality; it is the main reason I ended up returning these. For those who have experienced the Airpods Max's adaptive EQ and wide drivers, these will fall completely flat in comparison. The mids (vocals and most instruments) and high ends (guitars and hi hats) sound very clean and at times better than the Sony XM5s, however, the lack of bass and definition in comparison to the Airpods Max and Pro was disappointing from a brand that has a history for their emphasis on bass. Overall, these are good headphones and to those who are just getting into high end headphones, these will not disappoint and as an added bonus, they will look like a genuine fashion piece at times. However, for those looking to go with an alternative to replace their Airpods, these aren't it.

These headphones are average at best. They are not very loud and do not block out noise. I returned them.
