Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I have the beats studio 3 the old ones and I love mine got them in matte black
I work for an electronics retailer and got the Studio Pro for a special price of $200. Decided to give them a try.
I actually really like them. I like being able to use bluetooth, usb-c, or 3.5mm.
O my! This is the best review of beats I've ever seen! Thank you so much! I want them now!
Excited for AirPods Max 2 anytime soon 🙌
Airpods Max 2nd Gen is expected sometime in 2024...
I wonder how they would compare to Momentum 4? Sound great, german buid quality, head sensor enables auto shut off, pause ect. Plus they look stylish in that white color
I’d like to see a detailed comparison between these and other players on the market, like Sony XM5’s , Bose Quiet Comfort etc.
Same
In Mac Tech, Sony doesn’t exist. 😂
@@fchhoit’s not that it just make sense with these 2 because they both have one one up over Sony Bose etc. because of the spatial audio Dolby atmos and lossless audio and once you tweak the eq on all your apple devices that’s when the beats and the max really shine which can’t do with Sony and Bose. Don’t get me wrong they get the job done and on paper they prob better but giving these features Does make a difference and I have all three Sony xm5 Beats Studio and max and some how now the beats sound better then the Sony. Can’t speak for android and windows but beats sound a lot more cleaner bass and everything. Max still better then beats but the beats is very close. And I keep the max in the house beats you can fold and they have type c with 40 hours so it’s no brainer people would feel more comfortable bringing these on the go. Coffee shops gym outdoor walks etc.
@WargodFilms u can change the eq on sony devices...
@@srchurro8396 I’m aware I have the Sonys also I’m sayin the sound signature is not the same it’s different it sounds more fuller on apple devices then the Sonys compared to AirPods Max and Beats Studio now it might be different for android devices but that I don’t know
Returned these and held on to my momentum 4’s.
I just got these on Target yesterday they was giving extra 10% on electronics plus the already sale for Black Friday! best pick up so far!!
Had high hopes for these, but not surprised. The AirPods Max are stupid expensive, but nothing else out there does what they do - if you work with headphones all day and are switching between phone calls and Teams, the Max's (or anything with a U1 chip) are game changing, not to mention the amazing ANC and Transparency modes.
Yeah but they need to work lol mine sucked and after 3! Repairs apple was not able to fix it. I had to sell am and now giving the beats a go.
That said, i did love the max for while they worked lol
I’m with the other comment. I had 3 pair fuck whatever they do “better” there garbage for the money if they can’t even work. Giving these beats a try now and no issues yet
I was watching a movie last night with the AirPods and I was blown away. Moving my head in all directions and the sound transfers to one ear to the other.
Does it apply if you use anything that isn't an apple device though
So about the hi res audio… Am I right that the usb-c cable supports hi res using an internal dac, while the 3.5 mm cable bypasses that dac so you need an external dac for that? Also what are the options for hi res with an iPhone? What cable/s do you need?
I ended up going for the xm5, the negatives are very negative in my opinion for the beats studio pro
So I’ve been using AirPods Pro 2 and previous generations and I’m now looking for workout headphones and looking at these beats.
I bought them yesterday and this is a really good pair. It’s best to get these while they are on sale. I got mines yesterday at a price of $169.99
My only issue with them was mainly the price but overall I’m satisfied with the Beats Studio pro!
aye man ion know abt u, but i just waited till they were on sale. they’re 50% off on amazon rn for $169.99. just copped them and im excited!
@@shawncheriyan7638just preferred my pair waiting to get it rn
Great review! You should compare the studio pros to the Momentum 4.
I just got them yesterday for 179 and i guess thats the right price point for them. Surprised though they will be half the original price in 2 months of the launch. But i love the portability. My airpods max are just so heavy on my head and ears ache on long haul flights.
Just got mine because they were $170 on Amazon. I’m confused why the audio seems low until about 80%
Yes! Agree they suck. Got some today and have to raise volume all the way up to hear audio
Are these the newest ones? I’m just curious :)
I have air max pods and the spatial surround blows my mind when I’m listening to movies.
great video. Question if I'm listening to music and get a phone call can I switch over easy?
Just got them for half off. Thanks for the video!
Very nice video.
Regarding the lossless audio I did find it interesting how I discovered exactly how it works. Originally when I plugged into my Mac with the USB-C cable provided the headphones connected via Bluetooth as well. So then I noticed in the control center/headphones settings I had to choose USB, which then gave me lossless but also took away the ANC feature. So it is give and take, yes?
Yes
wonder if these even can beat the AKG N700nc M2? Those are fantastic for 1/3 the price.
Great review as always. Unrelated question, what’s that metal watch band you’re using for the Apple Watch ultra?
I’d also like to know. Been looking for a good metal band for mine.
I‘m a bit concerned seing that this still is the same design as the 2013 Beats Studio Wireless. The connection between the hinges and the headband broke several times on mine wich was a costly repair. I hope this is fixed with these new model.
Other than that: the buttons and (most of) the features are still the same.
The aluminum Beats Pro over ear is the only pair that never broke on me, every plastic pair of Beats i've bought always breaks on me. I'm done with them
Are we going to talk about you running in a button down?
3:16 I’ve got Sony WH-CH520 and they are very similar to the Beats Studio Pros here, and they actually have 50 hours of battery life and they are only £50!!!
for the MSRP not worth at all but they been on sale a lot and I grabbed a pair for $189 and that is definetly a great price thats hard to say no to!
Has the transparency mode improved?
I just tested these for the past two weeks and I think we are at a point where we are spoiled with a plethora of great headphones. I own the Airpod Max’s and even the WXM5’s.
If I had to truly recommend one for an all rounder, it would definitely be the Airpod Max. They are just superior when it comes to ANC and Transparency, and a close second for the XM5’s. It really is just a toss up if you are in the apple ecosystem or not. Too many are looking for confirmation bias. To me, it boils down to just looks , ecosystem, and comfort.
Here are my suggestions:
Beats - all rounder, fashionable, great tech headphones as a jack of all trades. Will be my gym headphones now. They fit snug as the reviews suggest, but that doesn’t mean they are uncomfortable. All of a sudden because they are snug people are seeing that as a negative thing. No, they are comfortable - trust me. But all day? i would choose the Max or Xm5’s. Buy these if you can make compromises to every department because in the end, I really did not care too much about transparency. We did not have this kind of technology back in the old ones, so a welcome introduction of transparency should be appreciated at the very least. There was no reason to go all out for them.
Sony XM5’s - obviously the best if you are an android user. Not sure why people keep comparing these two between android and apple users. It is obvious apple is going to keep their users within their ecosystem. I wouldn’t even buy these considering how close they are in terms of overall anc and transparency capability. It’s comparing peanuts. Comfort? Better than the Airpod Max; however, at this point if comfort is an issue you might as well just purchase some higher qality headphones in the first place. I gave these to my wife. She is an Android user. I am content without them because I am so locked into the apple ecosystem. See? I don’t care, I gave them away because I need the ecosystem prioritization.
Max - obviously pricey but you’re considering them anyways, right? They are pricey for a reason and for what they offer, of course you can find cheaper alternatives, but is that the route you want to go? Then go that route. Apple is a perfectionist. The ecosystem is locked, and works seemlessly. Obviously that is a perk for apple users. Comfort? Heavy, but not to the point where I would say the xm5’s are any more comfortable. I still gave them away to my wife, remember? These are my my at-home goto headphones now. Office work, entertainment, apple tv, music listening, traveling, airplanes, bus, loud kids, whatever. These do the jobs like no other. Cafe and need to hear your order? These are the ones.
Pick your battles and stop overthinking.
Prioritize it not by price, because in the end, you are comparing them in the first place. Instead prioritize your needs by evosystem, looks, and tech (anc, transparency).
In the end, I am now left with two: the beats and max because I gave the xm5’s away.
I prioritzed it as beats is going to be used for the gym. Everything else, max.
I have Sony xm3 but the microphone is horrible and it is time to upgrade. How is the microphone on the three in noisy environment? I own a MacBook pro and use an android phone as my daily driver so the Bose seems really promising to me. But I need something for meetings and calls, as well as listening to music in noisy environments.
that's like $800 on headphones.... I wish I could afford to spend that much on phone accessories
Which one do you recommend if you have to make calls in which you don’t want the other person to hear your surroundings like other people or traffic?
If it's strictly for calls, APM. @@lolmetlaura
It’s currently on sale for $179.99 and I thought that was a reasonable price for it so I bought it after seeing this review
Where the on sale for this price? And are they authentic? Appreciate your reply in advance
Got mine cheaper at 149$
Even though they are marketed at 350 I find them on sale all the time. So if your worried about price don’t be because you can always find them cheaper
Drop the air pods max 2 so we can have all the good features and still all the premium ones also. The beats take care of all the short comings on the max 1s but then are missing a huge chunk at that price. Max 2 will resolve these again
Do a comparison video with the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones
XM4 has better bass, good ANC, advance features compare to this Beats
You go running in shirts??
They should be comparing this Beats headphone with other brands at a similar price tag like Sony XM5, Bose 700 or QC45, or Momentum 4 wireless and so on, It does not come close beating the Airpods Max in terms of functionality and overall build quality. It's probably Apple's way to let people rethink of justifying the price of the Airpods Max and their upcoming Airpods Max 2nd gen IMO.
I can’t believe that not a single reviewer has mentioned the fact that if you want Dolby Atmos with TV shows (Apple TV+, Disney+, etc.) with over-ear headphones, this is the only “budget” option you’ve got. It’s the reason why I got a pair.
Dolby Atmos with apple TV is also the main reason I'm interested in them, how do they perform with Atmos shows and music?
@@jasenjo I love it - they make the sound stage a lot wider than stereo headphones and things sound more natural to me. Highly recommend!
On sale for 230$ atm. Seems like a solid deal for these
If these had the H2 chip, it would cost a little more but it would be an amazing set of headphones, but would probably be a little too good up against AirPods Max, which I guess why Apple didn't feature it in them.
The biggest issue with these is comfort: the Beats Studio Pro are SUPER uncomfortable. The AirPod Max and Sony XM5 can be worn for hours without fatigue or discomfort. Max’s, surprisingly, are the most comfortable, but have a Bluetooth design issue. Both pairs I’ve had have developed connectivity issues after 12-18 months.
I think the Sony Xm4 would be better at $350, but I just found the beats for $170 on black Friday. So probably worth it then for less money and ecosystem support.
Are the earcups replaceable when the current ones peel of over time?
No
Good vibes
I would rather have the button for on and off since my AirPods Max turn on while in case sometimes and kill battery
Idk know which one to get the Beats Studio pros or the air pods pro 2 🤷
AirPods Pro 2 definitely. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, better ecosystem integration!
Two different things there
AirPods Pro 2 bro it’s not close
Returned mine yesterday. They had so much going for them but couldn’t overcome the shortcomings for me. Gonna hold out for AirPods Max Gen 2
Specifically anything that was the deal breaker
@@frostgodx
1. Plastic materials made them feel less premium (“creeky sounds”)
2. No multipoint for seamless switching between Apple devices
3. No auto play pause when taking them off
4. (Bonus) - wish they folded flat on my chest so I could keep them on my shoulders when not in use, but they only fold in…
Everything else about them are really good and I would’ve kept them had they addressed the first three issues
There’s no gen 2 AirPods Max only first gen.
i have airpods max but i got these yesterday on discount i think theyre fire ive been wearing them hella and the sound doesnt distort on max volume like the old studios did, the comfort level is there even after extended use, the ANC is trash compared to the sonys but its good enough.i never noticed any creeking. no complaints about the sound. at first i wanted brown but sandstone is the best color
Did they transfer between Apple products, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, automatic?
They don’t
No, which is the biggest disadvantage imo. I don’t get how he didn’t mention it 😅
@@roykent2316 agreed that’s a major L
@@roykent2316he did mention it
No timestamps?
They are right now for Black Friday on Target for 160.00. That's something I could pass, can't beat that price. If anyone reads this today or tomorrow maybe you can still get them at that price.
Ended up buying them on Amazon! Great price!
Can you use the anc with the 3.5 jack?
Nobody:
Max: "jogging" in a shirt
😉
The downsides here don’t really bother me. I think I’ll be giving these a try as soon as they’re out here in the UK (9th Aug). Thanks for the great review, very well structured and detailed. 🎉
I love these and use them almost every day (gym)
Brooo..why no chapters?
just the best!
Americans get these so cheap compared to UK! In the U.K. these cost me £250 which is like $310 as of right now. Also £220 is lowest retail price it’s ever been so far.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
i love peter tosh's "legalise it, don't criticise it" !!! (sorry if i'm spelling it wrong!)...greetings from Chios, Greece!!!
I wasn't too impressed with the apple headset until I tried it. it totally blew my mind, however, I was curious where I can use these head sets considering we live in a world where it's a lot more convent to use the AirPods. however, using the AirPods in a plane when traveling is so impractical. you still hear sounds and you can lose them when you are trying to sleep. these head sets are great in those moments.
Just ordered for $170
Beats studio pro better or Sony xm5?
Sony
I really wish they did the auto pause thing it’s sure a letdown will be outdated a lot by next year
I could easily hear people talking right next to me with anc on
Third lol
Ordered a pair on friday xD
🔥🔥🔥🔥
should i upgrade i got the 3 Studio
Yes. Absolutely. the studio pros have insane upgrades compared to the studio3’s.
@@vulnicuric is the bass better on the pros then the 3s I'm getting the studio pros on Friday
The shallower ear cups HURT with extended use. AirPods Max does NOT. The lack of automatic switching is VERY irritating.
That boy was mowing dirt?
They need the beats clip 😢
Beats Studio Wireless 3 actually sounds around %30 louder, try it for yourselves and you will see it, too..
the bass on the 3s is garbage
@@HazelwoodBoy250 The Bass on the Beats Studio Pro ain't good, either.. Very flat.
@@canturkcivelek4896 I said the 3s let me get the pros studio pros first because everybody likes bass different
@@canturkcivelek4896 and that's your opinion others may disagree
$179 at Best Buy right now 👍🏽
1:32 dealbreaker for me
BEATS look better that's what i care about
I've been using these since release day. I really don't have anything negative to say about them because the downsides just aren't important to me. I really care about sound quality, noise cancelling, and comfort. I use them for the gym and they perform great there. It's never bothered me that they don't auto shutoff when I take them off my head. I just push the huge button and then take them off. It's a fraction of a second added to taking them off. The fact that they are plastic reduces the weight by nearly 1/4lb when compared to the AirPod Max and that is definitely noticeable over time. The one negative that does actually concern me though is that the ear cups are not replaceable. I have an extended return period of 60 days and, if I were to return them, that would be the reason. I really have no other complaints. They sound far better than the AirPod Pro 2's that I was using for the gym. The noise cancelling is totally sufficient, even when the gym has their music blasting, and I can comfortably wear them for hours. They check all the boxes for me other than the glaring downside of non-replaceable ear cups.
before watching i don't think they are trying to be "airpod-max killers " i really feel they are gym headphones lol
Don't believe these "reviews". I bought them on day one and returned them on day three. The ANC is really weak, also the white noise is very loud compared to other headphones and on the right earcup the white noise sounds like it is pulsating (you can hold your hand against the outside microphones, then it stops pulsating). This is such a deal breaker.
Beats merch links in all his videos. Probably just a coincidence that the brands he earns commission on get consistently glowing reviews. Has to be, right?
169$ Good Price?
Costco has it for $169+ AppleCare+, no brainer to pick up
Beats for the WIN!!!!
Noise channeling is a peace of shit if it is a bit windy
Returned them 5 days ago!! I can’t justify the price of them for the mediocre sound and plastic creaky build🤷🏽♀️👎🏽
let address the elephant in the room. when beats came out it target audience was the urban crowd, and the other 20% was the non-urban crowd who loved hardcore dance music. Apple knew Beats was going to be a tough competitor in the future so Apple did what Apple does got rid of the threat. I don't understand why these reviewers are bad mouthing Beats, when they know Apple is never going to bring out or design something new or spectacular for the Beat band. Apple is a company that doesn't like sharing the spot light.
$169 Amazon
For $200 cheaper than the AirPods Max, I can live with the missing features of the Beats Studio headphones. I’d have to try out a pair and compare them to my AirPods Pro 2’s.
these def don't sound like $350 lol stop I have them. This is about $100 worth of sound possibly
Apple trying so hard to lower the beats quality taking the bass away and decreasing the loudness and yet still they are better than air pods max at this point push the brand or let someone else take over monster did beats right til apple threw that 💰 at them
How can these headphones get a non biased review when all these tech channels there wearing Apple Watch and using Apple Products??? I don’t think they can!!!
No W1 chip or multi point connection on the new $350 Beats Studio Pro Headphones should be a crime.
Apple's W1 chip, originally released in February 10 2017, with the Beats X in Beast Solo3 Wireless, Beats Studio Wireless, and Apple AirPods, allowed for easy... pairing between your headphones and Apple devices, managing the connection between the two earphones and processing the audio signals sent by
your device.
Looks like terrible build quality, don’t seem durable and long lasting at all… 😅
I’ll wait for the AirPods Max 2
Tell me about it. Been through so many pairs; hope nobody gets Beats Studio Pro.
Apple quad chip name exterm. But not good. I. Think. New name. Apple super ultra chip
etymotic, shure, audeze, focal,grado ALL blow this trash out of the water....
First!
To think Galloping/ frolicking in a collared button-down shirt is equivalent to working out is laughable and disingenuous. please go to a gym where ppl are lifting/dropping weights, they're playing music etc.
They are very bad and feel cheap.. This is probably a sponosored video, like many of them.
ear garbage just like air pods.....mediocre at best. great if you have a tin ear!!!
They look so cheap. And dated design
Disagree
Look around at the other options they all suck
