Beats Studio Buds + - Black / Gold with AppleCare+ (2 Years)

I compared these beats with AirPod pros. Both are Apple products.The beats have a smaller range of volume, the lowest volume is pretty loud for the “lowest volume”. Each level for volume going up is minimal compared to the AirPods. (At around 1/3 of the volume they match volume. AirPods get a lot quieter and ALOT louder, I’d say 10% louder) The beats are loud enough for me I leave it at 3/4 of volume.Noise cancellation is really good, some noise filters through in loud environments but it’s enough when you’re at the gym and busy places. I experienced noise filtering through when I was in a car with music blasting. So I’d rate the noise cancellation pretty high.Pass through, pass through is good. I’d recommend not having the pass through when there’s lots of noise cause it’s good and personally it can get loud. When there’s a sudden loud noise the earbuds make the same loud noise and it could hurt your ears if you have sensitive hearing.Cons, when in loud environments if you are on a call the earbuds filter out the noise, and when you speak it filters your voice a bit too which makes it hard for the other person on the other end to hear you. Also the bit about the loud noise with the pass through and sensitive ears is a con for me.Battery life is really good, lasts me my work day and a bit more, I’m sure like all batteries that would go down after use but hasn’t happened to me yet I’ve had it for 2 months now.Bluetooth, the Bluetooth is pretty strong. You could probably still have a connection a few rooms away in a house before the connection begins to fail. Unlike AirPods when you remove the bud from an ear whatever is playing will not pause unless YOU pause it. This means it’s constantly connected, when you are within the Bluetooth radius of course. I’ve lost a bud twice but this actually helped me find it, so that’s a plus. And with these beats you cannot connect another pair to your phone like you can with AirPods. So it’s only on pair of beats at a time.I really like the earbuds and I think they are well worth the price, to me they are a barely lesser version of AirPod pros. I’m considering getting the studio pro’s over the AirPod max after this experience.Update 4 months later- The battery life is still very strong, I have had some issues with them disconnecting and reconnecting to my phone and I believe it’s because when I got my Apple Watch, it must be Confusing the connection between my phone and the watch. Yes, it can be annoying but to me, it’s still worth it. All really need to do is reconnect with my phone. I don’t think AirPods Will have this problem. But I’m not sure. There was one day where the noise cancellation on my right earbud stopped working, but it’s because I didn’t have enough battery so I had to charge it after that I had no issues.

I love beats earbuds. Lost my last pair and bought these to replace them. I prefer beats over earpods. These earbuds are very comfortable, sweat resistant and you have the ability to turn noise cancellation off and on as desired. Volume is great, charging lasts for days especially if you keep the charging case charged, I can go a week or 2 without having to recharge the case. Earbuds charge quickly in charging case. The color is okay, but it doesn’t matter what color they are for me. Easy to operate and functions just as they are supposed to. I’d much rather invest in beats earbuds than air pods. I had a single pair of beats earbuds for 4 years, in that time my husband and kids went through several pairs of Apple EarPods due to volume going out or other issues that I haven’t had which the beats earbuds. I would recommend these especially if you work and sweat alot or work out.

I love these earbuds so much. Such good quality for a good price. Honestly I’m a beats lover and not a huge fan of AirPods because in my experience they break or go out way too quick and for the price I think it’s ridiculous. But these beats are everything the AirPods are but better and more reliable. The noise cancellation is chefs kiss. The earbuds themselves are super sleek and comfortable and the sound is just as amazing as my Beats Studio pros.

For the price, these are perfect. I've used beats studios since 2010 and these hold up to the name. I was skeptical to how they'd fit but wow, they fit perfectly with no worry of them slipping or falling. My airpods never felt like they fit right and would always need to be readjusted after a few minutes or fall out if i fell asleep on a plane ride (usually sliding 10 rows back haha). the sound quality is great and it works flawlessly with iPhone since it's Apple made. One thing i will say is the noise canceling isnt the best. When music is playing its mostly fine but during intros to songs or build ups I can hear the music playing in the background at the gym a little bit. I also have to turn the volume a little bit higher than I used to with my AirPods to get the same effect. I was nervous since theyre so small that the control buttons would be hard to use but they couldn't be easier, ive had no issues yet. Also kinda bummed they can't charge wirelessly. That was a pretty wild miss with these but not the end of the world
