My studios around the hinge cracked the plastic underneath the hinge cracked but I was using them for around 10 or more hours a day for 4 years straight. Before the plastic under the hinge giveaway.
TheGamingAudiophile hey man i need some wireless headphones with good bass and i dont care about ANC is the Sony MDR-XB950B1 the best for this?? I want good sound quality. Ty for ur time
Thank you for this!! I saw these headphones on sale online and I was going to impulsively buy them but I think I'm just going to wait until I'm in-store to try them out myself.
I own AKG, Senhieser, JBL and the Beats Studio 3 headphones and I think the Beats Studio 3 are great sounding headphones! They are also comfortable to wear. I only bought them second hand for $100.
I -LOVE- my Beats Studio 3 headphones! I jam out at work, can take calls when not working, have them hooked up to enjoy watching Netflix at home without disturbing anyone on the tv, listen to audio books when traveling, and dictate text messages through Siri. They’re wonderful!
This is the 1st review I have found so far speaking about how apple toned down on the bass level just to satisfy complaining users who do not listen to music with bass as much. Remember, these headphones were designed to give you a hearing experience you usually do not have when using other headphones. I love Beats by Dre because I listen to Rap & R&B music with lots of bass in it. If you do not like headphones which are bass-heavy, buy Bose or Senheisser!
Lenore McDade it’s been 6 months since you bought them, what’s your review now? Do they still work properly? Do you still believe it was worth it? And how much did you buy them for?
thank you for the review help a lot in buying this headphone. also my studio 2.0 wired cracked on the head band on the left right above the metal piece cause my friend has a big head with dreds ......... if you have dreds be careful....
I think this is the most in-depth review I have ever heard. Thanks so much. I am searching for reviews on this brand AFTER I already purchased it. It's on it's way, but that doesn't mean I can return them. The one thing about this review that turns me off on these headphones is the pressure points on the ears. I desperately needed noise cancellation because of my work environment, but this means I would be wearing these 8 hours per day so the pressure points may be an issue.
Maura La Prova Yes, the comfort can be an issue with these. My favorite sounding Bluetooth headphones which are the Bowers and Wilkins PX also suffer from medicore comfort. I would recommend the WH-1000Xm2 or Bose QC35 II.
Thanks. I am leaning towards the Bose because of the bigger ear cavity and as you said the sony's tend to heat up and the Bose are more comfortable. I binge watched your reviews and they really helped me make up my mind. Tough decision because features of the Sony are more interesting. I like the fact that you can put your hand over the earphone and then someone can quickly talk to you without you having to remove your headphones. I am willing to give that up for comfort though.
OK. I will. I trust your opinion immensely. The Beats are due to be delivered today, I am not even bothering with them, they are going back to bestbuy tonight. I will get the Sony's, wear them for 5 hours and see if my ears are aching due to pressure points. I'll let you know what I think! BTW: You are awesome!
Another great review here thanx for sharing. I had 3 studio's and every ear cup peeled and cracked. Whwn I got the parrot zik's and my Sennheiser's I realized how many notes I was missing. I'll never recommended these ever.
I just bought these todo noise cancelling I bought the solo 3 but no cancelling I bought these from my birthday money I can't wait too try them out at the gym
You mentioned that the ear pads split. That’s exactly what happened to mines over time or the pads start crumbling up into crumbs after 4 years or so. I believe the beats are designed to weaken overtime so you can buy other beats products because the other beats headphones like the Pros are trustworthy strong but not as comfortable as the studios.
Yup thats basically the whole marketing strategy of apple. They admitted to it years ago. Killing off older models, and pumping out newer ones. If you watch youtubers who fix/take apart phones, youll notice everything on the inside is the same. With the newest iphone, this time they made it so if you cracked the screen- got it fixed... the face unlock will no longer work.
I also had high expectations and was letdown by the Studio3, especially by the lackluster rolled-off bass but also the narrow soundstage. I currently use the Momentum & Solo3 which I love, & will probably return the Studio3. How would you compare the PX to the Momentum?
michaeldproject PX and momentum share the same sort of warm and pleasant sound. The PX sounds more open and dynamic with a better balanced treble in relation to the midrange. ANC on both is great, but the PX's ANC on full effectiveness causes a hit in the sound.

Wow love your review you explain a lot of things about the headphones 👍 so thanks for the and you don’t poo poo on though like other people do on their reviews 😊
tafadzwa chinanzvavana Got mine today and have been using them all day. When a guy like TheGamingAudiophile reviews stuff, bare in mind he is being critical, because...well, that’s his job. He is comparing them to all of the other in that class and much of his opinions are subjective. I have only owned beats my entire life. I had the original Beats Studios and now today the Studio 3’s. All of can say, and my opinion is subjective and naive, they are amazing!!! Sound- 10 Noise Canceling- 10 Comfort- 9 Connectivity- 10 Battery- 10 Looks- 11 Call me an Apple fan-boy...these are SO amazing! Btw, they connect to my iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even my AppleTV.
The Chillmaster yeah but now your hating on Scott Mercer for having an opinion about the headphones he likes. Everyone has the right to like the headphones they like.
Yeah this is a fashion brand. They look great but I took mine back after not a single review fully endorsed them. Got the bowers and Wilkins px and I’m much more happy with the build quality and sound comparatively for the price

2-23-20 Went in for Bose ....took a shot on Beats.....very happy!! Not as clear as Bose but everything else is nice! Music sounds great! Loud! Noise canceling is better on Bose/ Jvc...but happy and enjoying the music (van halen, Led Zep, Stevie ray V, 2 pac, Kaskade!! All sound good. As long as they don’t fall apart! I am satisfied! I am a trucker and like my music!
Any Beats studio 3 owners. I would recommend a simple bass booster app. The headphones aernt big on bass for some reason but a bass booster app does really help make you feel more present in the music.
I think the main thing you failed to mention is the W1 chip in these. I can only wish the Sonys or Px or QC35 had W1 chip, then it would be no question. At the moment, it looks like those are the best sounding W1 headphones, aren't they?
Yes, over the Studios for sound if you MUST have Beats. However, they're significantly superior over-ear ANC bluetooth headphones to be had over the Studio 3 Wireless.
They have one pair left for $150 at target for black Friday...I hope they are still there this Friday when I get paid so I can buy them.... Fingers crossed 🤞
I like the Beats Studio 3 for comfort and build. The shape fits my head well and has a slim profile compared with many others headphones. I like the sound quality enough for Hip-Hop and Drum & Bass and at £270 with student discount I can live with the price. The ANC seems good enough but I would like better still as I work in noisey offices and have bat ears so pick up the smallest of sounds. BUT....Now the PX are on the market and everyone is raving about them I'm sorely tempted to return the Beats soon while in my return period. Tough choice......the grass is always greener it would seem. Is the ANC on the PX better than the Beats because alot of reviewers rave about sound quality but without ANC on. I need noise cancellation so wondering if PX are for me? Will I miss the bass for my genres of music? I'm reading that people are not really enjoying the comfort from the PX and a hotspot is created by the middle of the band on top of the head. Would love to try them together but no local stores have stock.
How do I ignore a call🤣 when these are on my ears I don’t want to speak to anybody. Thank you for this video. Showing the ins and outs. These are my first beats studio head set. Very helpful.
On the soundstage, all closed back headphones are notorious for having bad soundstage. If you want a more wide feeling pair of headphones you have to get open backs
They crack from twisting, when people are trying to talk to you, you twist one side of the headphone, and doing it many times wears on the headbands. Then they crack.
I just adjusted the equalizer in Spotify to lower the 150hz bass/ deep frequency and that fixed the mid bass bleeding into the higher tones. I also increased the lower 60hz spectrum for a more punchier bass. Overall really impressed with these headphones.
@@amon4874 In Spotify, click on the setting icon which looks like a gear, click on playback, and there you will find "Equializer". You can change anything in terms of the frequency or pick a pre-set depending on your tastes.

Hi I’m looking at the education priced macbook - with the deal that includes free beats headphones. The free headphones are as follows: - Studio3 over-ear (RRP £300) - Studio3 skyline collection (RRP £300) - Solo3 club collection (RRP 179.95) What’s the difference with the first two studio3s? And also the only differences I’ve been able to find between solo3 and studio3 is size and cases. Am I missing something?
i just ordered these today online on Amazon with the free delivery for $169.00 which is a good price right now[its as lowest as its ever been on Amazon so i just had to cop it] and am waiting for it to arrive!
Good review! So Bose or Sony is the way to go for noise cancelation. I wish Bose would use higher end codecs and had tighter bass (sometimes it distorts).
One consideration on the Sony's vs the Bose is that when the battery wears out on the Bose your out of luck, on the Sony's they will replace it. I just was disappointed at the base on the Sony's.
moivaanmoi The bass isn't good, it's primarily just loud. But hey, these headphones are for you I guess. They're better looking headphones that sound better too tho.
TheGamingAudiophile What would you recommend? I'm looking for a good looking pair of headphones mostly for hip-hop music. Was hoping these would be good but all reviews are telling me to steer away. Price isn't an issue really, just looking for a quality pair.
Excellent review! I have been using my Sony MDR-1000X for almost a year now. I was planning to get Beats Studio3 Wireless, but nah I'll stick to my Sony's.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you I had the Bose qc25 and return them for the Beats Studio 2 Wireless big difference in my opinion, I'm no audiophile obviously but I know what my ears like the Bose were way to quiet and I paired my phone to the Sony wh 1000 they were too quiet as well not my cup of tea I don't know why people hate on Beats it's because they are expensive I can see that, but you don't have to pay for it and nobody's forcing you to pay for it so why get upset
These are junk. My headband failed just out of warranty. Amazon sells a dozen types of replacement bands, which tells us that the product is cheap, defective and there should be a class action lawsuit filed.
DualG -Tech nah I have both Sony better. Bose more comfortable, but I still always end up wearing the Sony. I recommend Bose for traveling, and Sony for sitting somewhere chilling to music.
BOSE compared to BEATS: Comparing Wireless, Sound Reducing, Headphones . . . . . using with iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro 2015: BOSE QC 35 ii - [ ] Instruction were confusing compared to Apple instructions. - [ ] Iphone / Ipad was fairly easy to sync. Noise reduction was not as successful as I wanted. - [ ] MacBook Pro would not work correctly. Connection lasted about ten seconds before disconnecting. - [ ] Cannot answer iPhone while using the Bose. BEATS (talked with Apple Sales Support Rep. She has “Beats Studio 3 Wireless” over ear. She recommends them.) - [ ] Synced with iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro easily. - [ ] Phone calls came through and were answered with no problem. - [ ] The sound deafening Beats blocked better than Bose. Beats are BEST
joe one 702 thanks man. For some reason the beats qc 35 II made my ears abnormally hot after 30 mins of use and no other headphones have I ever had that problem with. I’m still on the search for a good pair I think I’ll try em
Ezugo Obuekwe they both didn’t have good ear cup ventilation. Had to try 4 dif pairs but finally found the best for what I like and that’s the crusher 360
A lot of people dont like these because of the volume however the volume is great if listened to with either apple music spotify or deezer - not youtube - and using the cable adds extra volume and using an ipad not iphone or ipod because they have volume limiters on them whereas an ipad doesnt
I just got a pair of Studio Wireless 3 today but am having trouble making them corded - i plugged the wire included w the headphones into my desktop however the sound still isnt working. Anyone got any tips or advice for how to connect them using the cord to the desktop? I read somewhere that they have to be charged in order to use them even w the cord - anyone know if that is true?
Yolanda Herbert Those are quite good. I find them cleaner and better sounding than the Studio 3's and Studio 2's. If I were to recommend a Beats products, it'll be those.
Oops. My bad. On the website I looked on they have in one page the 3's and another the 2's. I think it's actually the 2's. Either way it sounds like a good deal, right?
These by far the worst over the ears headphones i ever tried and i'm not talking about the sound, Uncomfortable!! my ears were in a sauna within 10min of using i didn't pick up beats headphones since 2014 and headphones really improved since then yet Apple sticked to the plasticy tight flawed design
Boss Brandon, that is not the point, the point is that he is reviewing audio products, and has made no effort to edit this horrible audio out, makes no disclaimer, ect... It lessens his credibility as an audio reviewer. He probably is using his phone mic. You are right he doesn't need a 500 dollar mic, but it sounds so bad, there is no way he even spent 30 bucks on that shitty mic. The blue snowball is better than this mic, neewer has some products for 30 dollars that are better than this, and monoprice has a better one for 10. He has no excuse to have this shit.
Thomas Cheng well if you’re getting beats you’d probably go for solo 3 which are 300$ and for only extra 50$ you get more features and better sound quality
I feel the need to comment right now. I see all these idiots calling him "biased". Bro shut up . I currently own the studio 3s and I've owned them for 8 - 10 months, basically since release. At the time of my purchase, I was looking for comfy headphones that provided me with a fashionable look but also kept sound and good ANC in the mix. I thought the beats were perfect. They aren't. They're complete shit. First off, we will list the pros of these headphones. (IM MAKING THE PROS AND CONS BASED OFF OF WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH OTHER HEADPHONES) Pros: Fashionable. ANC that does not create the cabin pressure feeling that most bose owners report of. A modest battery life and up to par with fast charging. I honestly could care less whether or not if its USB C the lightning cable or Micro, as long as they include it, I'm not really affected by it. As of right now, an okay price. Still, think it is not worth the price it dropped down to tbh. It's convenient, can fit in small spaces easily. (obviously not your pocket or anything, but can fit in my Nike Tech pocket, which is an okay sized pocket, not jeans but for sweaters it is small.) Cons: Comfort: Okay so when you first get them, you're not really going to experience this. It comes after some wear and tears from the headphones and gets dirty. But once you do dirty them, which let me say they do get dirty quite fast if you use them almost every day, after about a month of wearing the dirty headphones every time, never fails, whenever you wear the headphones for about an hour, it forms balls on your lower ear which hurts like CRAZY. The pain lasts about a week or two, so if you wear it every day, good luck my friend you're gonna need it. They cause pain on the head, and sometimes on the jaw. If you're fat (no offense) you'll probably avoid the jaw pain. Sound: Sound is subpar at best. The mids and lows are existent (finally) but they are still very underwhelming. The bass was noticeably cranked down, to a point where it's barely even there. They're loud though, I'm not an audiophile but after a while I even noticed myself doing it, and noticed that these headphones are loud but not good, because my brain did all the working and filled in the blanks the Beats didn't fill. You catch my drift, they'll be alright in the beginning, but as time goes on you will absolutely notice that you sir have wasted your money. Cheap. Ah, here we are, the build quality. Well, I can't blame Apple for this, as this is something that has been consistent with beats even before Apple bought the headphones. My studios didn't snap, but they're the exact same build quality as the solo 3s, no changes. I owned solo 3s, and they snapped with one little tap to my head with them on, therefore I can make the inference that they snap easily too. They're made out of a really cheap plastic. They crack easy, my beats have cracked in so many places. The headband gets loose and flaps, you can see the underpart of the headphones. It is foam. They use a really thin portion of a spongey like foam to provide comfort for the head. No wonder my head hurts so much. The earcups rip easily and get dirty really quick, literally 1 gym session will get them submerged in the dirt. Yeah, pretty nasty. Distortion: After about 4 months of owning them, I started getting very rare occasions of my headphones distorting on the max volume. I would be listening to Yes Indeed and there would be some loud THUMPS literally so loud I feel like my eardrums fell out, and it gave me an instant migraine. Now, I get them consistently. I have to keep my headphones at 75% of the volume because if it goes any louder the distortion comes back up. And for non-beats users, literally, a drop from 100% sound to 75% is like the biggest difference ever. It goes from you can't hear anything to you hearing everything. No reports of static though, but it is talked about amongst beats users so that's just something that can be a possibility. There's a lot more cons. I just don't want to sit here typing for hours. Apple, you've really done it. Selling less for more. If you bought these for 350. me included, yes man we're pissed off. Take the new Apple Xs Max 256 gb for a testament to apples ridiculous overpricing. 1350. Thats 150$ more than the rent we pay. I live in New York by the way, a really expensive city. God forbid you get the Apple Xs Max 512 gb. PFFT. kiss your check out the window.
The Bose do suck and give your head a lot of pressure from the anc that’s a fact also your ears will be hot after 30 mins. Studio3 is meh. Sennheiser pxc 550 meh but the skull candy crusher 360 wowzers
Going to ask for these for Christmas!! The last beats headphones i had the pad on the ears came off & back then i wasn’t able to get extra ear pads so they were useless to me. Can you buy extra ear pads for these headphones? I want these for the noise canceling!!

Takes you straight to the sound quality portion of the review.
My studios around the hinge cracked the plastic underneath the hinge cracked but I was using them for around 10 or more hours a day for 4 years straight. Before the plastic under the hinge giveaway.

*I love them because they work and they look good with my wicked sunglasses!* *I'm ready for Uni!* 😄
The studio3?
going a pair coming tomorrow. cant freaking wait . NYC is so loud i need beats !
lunabird89 There's better options for the money.
TheGamingAudiophile what would you suggest ?
lunabird89 B&W PX.
2-23-20 Went in for Bose ....took a shot on Beats.....very happy!! Not as clear as Bose but everything else is nice! Music sounds great! Loud! Noise canceling is better on Bose/ Jvc...but happy and enjoying the music (van halen, Led Zep, Stevie ray V, 2 pac, Kaskade!! All sound good. As long as they don’t fall apart! I am satisfied! I am a trucker and like my music!
$199.00 at best buy...
Any Beats studio 3 owners. I would recommend a simple bass booster app. The headphones aernt big on bass for some reason but a bass booster app does really help make you feel more present in the music.
any good apps??
Alex Lozoya yess musi app
I think the main thing you failed to mention is the W1 chip in these. I can only wish the Sonys or Px or QC35 had W1 chip, then it would be no question. At the moment, it looks like those are the best sounding W1 headphones, aren't they?
eisgekuehlterbommerlunder No, the Beats Solo 3 is the best sounding W1 chip based headphone.
I forgot to specify, over the ear. I can't stand the Solos...
SO anyway, if you would have to buy one of these, you would pick Solos?
Yes, over the Studios for sound if you MUST have Beats. However, they're significantly superior over-ear ANC bluetooth headphones to be had over the Studio 3 Wireless.
I have Kygo A4/300 On ear Bluetooth headphones, And they are my favorite
They have one pair left for $150 at target for black Friday...I hope they are still there this Friday when I get paid so I can buy them.... Fingers crossed 🤞
Dude do you live in paradise?
you have an amazing place enjoy it!
I agree
I like the Beats Studio 3 for comfort and build. The shape fits my head well and has a slim profile compared with many others headphones. I like the sound quality enough for Hip-Hop and Drum & Bass and at £270 with student discount I can live with the price. The ANC seems good enough but I would like better still as I work in noisey offices and have bat ears so pick up the smallest of sounds.
BUT....Now the PX are on the market and everyone is raving about them I'm sorely tempted to return the Beats soon while in my return period. Tough choice......the grass is always greener it would seem.
Is the ANC on the PX better than the Beats because alot of reviewers rave about sound quality but without ANC on. I need noise cancellation so wondering if PX are for me?
Will I miss the bass for my genres of music?
I'm reading that people are not really enjoying the comfort from the PX and a hotspot is created by the middle of the band on top of the head. Would love to try them together but no local stores have stock.
JR_UK PX ANC is superior.
How do I ignore a call🤣 when these are on my ears I don’t want to speak to anybody. Thank you for this video. Showing the ins and outs. These are my first beats studio head set. Very helpful.
On the soundstage, all closed back headphones are notorious for having bad soundstage. If you want a more wide feeling pair of headphones you have to get open backs
They crack from twisting, when people are trying to talk to you, you twist one side of the headphone, and doing it many times wears on the headbands. Then they crack.
I just adjusted the equalizer in Spotify to lower the 150hz bass/ deep frequency and that fixed the mid bass bleeding into the higher tones. I also increased the lower 60hz spectrum for a more punchier bass. Overall really impressed with these headphones.
jra2k1 how you do that?
how ?
@@amon4874 In Spotify, click on the setting icon which looks like a gear, click on playback, and there you will find "Equializer". You can change anything in terms of the frequency or pick a pre-set depending on your tastes.

Hi I’m looking at the education priced macbook - with the deal that includes free beats headphones.
The free headphones are as follows:
- Studio3 over-ear (RRP £300)
- Studio3 skyline collection (RRP £300)
- Solo3 club collection (RRP 179.95)
What’s the difference with the first two studio3s? And also the only differences I’ve been able to find between solo3 and studio3 is size and cases.
Am I missing something?
i just ordered these today online on Amazon with the free delivery for $169.00 which is a good price right now[its as lowest as its ever been on Amazon so i just had to cop it] and am waiting for it to arrive!
You really nailed it down in terms of describing the sound of these headphones. They look so damn good, but the sound just isn't there at all...
Good review! So Bose or Sony is the way to go for noise cancelation. I wish Bose would use higher end codecs and had tighter bass (sometimes it distorts).
Agreed.
One consideration on the Sony's vs the Bose is that when the battery wears out on the Bose your out of luck, on the Sony's they will replace it. I just was disappointed at the base on the Sony's.
Sony is better when it comes to sound and noise cancellation
I bought exactly the same ones today can’t wait to check’m out… 240€ 😤😤
got these half off i’m pretty satisfied
I love beats, I like them more as fashion than just tech, they look so good. and imo sound good aswell for rap because it has good bass
moivaanmoi The bass isn't good, it's primarily just loud. But hey, these headphones are for you I guess. They're better looking headphones that sound better too tho.
TheGamingAudiophile What would you recommend? I'm looking for a good looking pair of headphones mostly for hip-hop music. Was hoping these would be good but all reviews are telling me to steer away. Price isn't an issue really, just looking for a quality pair.
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
KL77 I say you should get the Sony mdr xbt950bt with base booster button or the studio with noise isolation and good sound and flashy color
Mark Wright These are NOT studio headphones! Please don’t be fooled because of the brand name!
$160 now. I think they're finally worth it.
Facts
$160? where at?
@@rizqjassal2974 probably Amazon
True. But Matte black still costs 300$
Just got them for $209 target price matched Walmart
How does the App work with the headphones themselves using an android phone.
for my beats when I click or hold the side the video sound shuts off. and when i let go sound comes back.. cant pause.
What's that updater app he was talking about?
It's just called beats
Excellent review! I have been using my Sony MDR-1000X for almost a year now. I was planning to get Beats Studio3 Wireless, but nah I'll stick to my Sony's.
Mushfiqur Rahman wise decision my friend, going with beats would be a downgrade
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you I had the Bose qc25 and return them for the Beats Studio 2 Wireless big difference in my opinion, I'm no audiophile obviously but I know what my ears like the Bose were way to quiet and I paired my phone to the Sony wh 1000 they were too quiet as well not my cup of tea I don't know why people hate on Beats it's because they are expensive I can see that, but you don't have to pay for it and nobody's forcing you to pay for it so why get upset
kool Cycledad thats not a honest statement no way dude....my sony mdrs are waaay better than my solo 3s ..i have both
kool Cycledad you must be broke because the studio 2 break easily
marine v14 did urs have any cracking issues?
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on these. They are 170 at target, or maybe getting the power beats pro that are at 150. Any recommendations?
August 2018 now.... Beats are on sale.... How much do you think theyre worth? and if theyre worth that now would you still buy them?
I cracked my headband after owning the beats studios 2.0 for 3 years, they just gave out
These are junk. My headband failed just out of warranty. Amazon sells a dozen types of replacement bands, which tells us that the product is cheap, defective and there should be a class action lawsuit filed.
Is it just me or im probably only going to use the aux cable for the car
ItsPaolo facts
Or for some planes that don’t allow Bluetooth audio!
Or when they die... if you can use them like that when they’re dead. I’m not sure. 🤔
Adrian Riley nah you can’t
Sam Keefer yes you can you don’t have to have them on if you use the cable
Long use? Ushy or head does not hurt? I'll want use for working 6-12 hours.
How do you turn up the volume - I've tried the usual options!
Currently listening to this video on the exact same beats studio 3 .
Do they work on android and are they good worth £300?
Compare ir with the Bose QC35 and the Sony 1000x. Great review
Leo Bitar no point. Beats are all overpriced. Sonys are the best anyway, then Bose, and beats, I’m sorry, are absolute shit.
Mr Awesome Bose is better bitch
DualG -Tech nah I have both Sony better. Bose more comfortable, but I still always end up wearing the Sony. I recommend Bose for traveling, and Sony for sitting somewhere chilling to music.
BOSE compared to BEATS:
Comparing Wireless, Sound Reducing, Headphones . . . . . using with iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro 2015:
BOSE QC 35 ii
- [ ] Instruction were confusing compared to Apple instructions.
- [ ] Iphone / Ipad was fairly easy to sync. Noise reduction was not as successful as I wanted.
- [ ] MacBook Pro would not work correctly. Connection lasted about ten seconds before disconnecting.
- [ ] Cannot answer iPhone while using the Bose.
BEATS (talked with Apple Sales Support Rep. She has “Beats Studio 3 Wireless” over ear. She recommends them.)
- [ ] Synced with iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro easily.
- [ ] Phone calls came through and were answered with no problem.
- [ ] The sound deafening Beats blocked better than Bose.
Beats are BEST
Navytoy only compare beats and Bose of course because Sony ones are too good to consider comparing ;)
Are these good with my note 10 +?
I heard beats work better with apple.
I just bought Studio3 for $179.99, can't wait to try them.
How are they
Are these better than Skullcandy crusher wireless headphones?
No,the skull Candy crusher wireless are more than what you see on videos,trust me I have them
joe one 702 how are the crushers for comfort? Will they make my ears hot?
@@jlsnfl81 after a long time yes, but not that much, the ear cups are super soft, I recommend them
joe one 702 thanks man. For some reason the beats qc 35 II made my ears abnormally hot after 30 mins of use and no other headphones have I ever had that problem with. I’m still on the search for a good pair I think I’ll try em
Ezugo Obuekwe they both didn’t have good ear cup ventilation. Had to try 4 dif pairs but finally found the best for what I like and that’s the crusher 360
I was thinking on buy the Studio 3. Should I buy them ?
Palomitasal only if your going for the matte black and gold color
Mate..dnt buy this. I bought 1 3 days ago and i am very much disappointed with the sound n volume.
If you want a headphone just because it looks nice then sure go ahead. I’d rather get a Bower&Wilkins PX but that’s just me.
Bought mine at best buy was disappointed with the lack of volume and base ended up returning it.
A lot of people dont like these because of the volume however the volume is great if listened to with either apple music spotify or deezer - not youtube - and using the cable adds extra volume and using an ipad not iphone or ipod because they have volume limiters on them whereas an ipad doesnt
Should i get these to match my space grey macbook pro or get the matte black pair
I just got a pair of Studio Wireless 3 today but am having trouble making them corded - i plugged the wire included w the headphones into my desktop however the sound still isnt working. Anyone got any tips or advice for how to connect them using the cord to the desktop? I read somewhere that they have to be charged in order to use them even w the cord - anyone know if that is true?

Omg thanka
Is it just me or do I have small ears my ears perfectly fit in these
Tyflo ツ same lol that’s why I’m getting them and everything
Tyflo, i also have smaller ears XD!
hello as a constructive/sound quality better Beats studio3 or B&W PX
thank you
You were very thorough. What do you think of Beats by Dre solo 3?
Yolanda Herbert Those are quite good. I find them cleaner and better sounding than the Studio 3's and Studio 2's. If I were to recommend a Beats products, it'll be those.
Did you record this video with a potato microphone?
For Black Friday, these are going on sale for $169.99. Are they still not worth it or is it a good deal?
TWOFEETUNDER you sure those aren’t the 2s
that's what I'm saying
Oops. My bad. On the website I looked on they have in one page the 3's and another the 2's. I think it's actually the 2's. Either way it sounds like a good deal, right?
TWOFEETUNDER Idk how good the twos are but $169 for some beats ain’t bad.
The 2 are on sale NOT THE 3s...
I have them now they are fire
How to fold it and keep it in box please guide may be im folding with wrong method my beats life will reduce kindly guide
These by far the worst over the ears headphones i ever tried and i'm not talking about the sound, Uncomfortable!! my ears were in a sauna within 10min of using i didn't pick up beats headphones since 2014 and headphones really improved since then yet Apple sticked to the plasticy tight flawed design
Man, the sound in that video is awful. For a person reviewing audio products, you should know and do better than that. Good reviews anyway.
extreme8808 u can hear him so stfu
hes talking about the background screeching at times
Jayzilla go. away. pls.
extreme8808 He doesn't need a $500 microphone to do youtube videos.
Boss Brandon, that is not the point, the point is that he is reviewing audio products, and has made no effort to edit this horrible audio out, makes no disclaimer, ect... It lessens his credibility as an audio reviewer. He probably is using his phone mic. You are right he doesn't need a 500 dollar mic, but it sounds so bad, there is no way he even spent 30 bucks on that shitty mic. The blue snowball is better than this mic, neewer has some products for 30 dollars that are better than this, and monoprice has a better one for 10. He has no excuse to have this shit.
Nice set of headphones it is the same pair that I am going to get
What if their $200 now, worth it ? Or what do you recommend. I go to the gym and love listening to synthwave, and Phonk
Great review & I agree - bought these & disappointing bass - my solo3 better - but like quality & convenience of w1 chip plus great battery life.
trevor mantell whyyy would you buy these
Thomas Cheng well if you’re getting beats you’d probably go for solo 3 which are 300$ and for only extra 50$ you get more features and better sound quality
Gretchen Weiners source? more features? better sound quality?
Thomas Cheng lol - lesson learnt.
trevor mantell you should buy the bowers and Wilkins px or the Sony WH 1000mx2
I feel the need to comment right now. I see all these idiots calling him "biased". Bro shut up .
I currently own the studio 3s and I've owned them for 8 - 10 months, basically since release. At the time of my purchase, I was looking for comfy headphones that provided me with a fashionable look but also kept sound and good ANC in the mix. I thought the beats were perfect. They aren't. They're complete shit. First off, we will list the pros of these headphones.
(IM MAKING THE PROS AND CONS BASED OFF OF WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH OTHER HEADPHONES)
Pros:
Fashionable.
ANC that does not create the cabin pressure feeling that most bose owners report of.
A modest battery life and up to par with fast charging. I honestly could care less whether or not if its USB C the lightning cable or Micro, as long as they include it, I'm not really affected by it.
As of right now, an okay price. Still, think it is not worth the price it dropped down to tbh.
It's convenient, can fit in small spaces easily. (obviously not your pocket or anything, but can fit in my Nike Tech pocket, which is an okay sized pocket, not jeans but for sweaters it is small.)
Cons:
Comfort: Okay so when you first get them, you're not really going to experience this. It comes after some wear and tears from the headphones and gets dirty. But once you do dirty them, which let me say they do get dirty quite fast if you use them almost every day, after about a month of wearing the dirty headphones every time, never fails, whenever you wear the headphones for about an hour, it forms balls on your lower ear which hurts like CRAZY. The pain lasts about a week or two, so if you wear it every day, good luck my friend you're gonna need it. They cause pain on the head, and sometimes on the jaw. If you're fat (no offense) you'll probably avoid the jaw pain.
Sound: Sound is subpar at best. The mids and lows are existent (finally) but they are still very underwhelming. The bass was noticeably cranked down, to a point where it's barely even there. They're loud though, I'm not an audiophile but after a while I even noticed myself doing it, and noticed that these headphones are loud but not good, because my brain did all the working and filled in the blanks the Beats didn't fill. You catch my drift, they'll be alright in the beginning, but as time goes on you will absolutely notice that you sir have wasted your money.
Cheap. Ah, here we are, the build quality. Well, I can't blame Apple for this, as this is something that has been consistent with beats even before Apple bought the headphones. My studios didn't snap, but they're the exact same build quality as the solo 3s, no changes. I owned solo 3s, and they snapped with one little tap to my head with them on, therefore I can make the inference that they snap easily too. They're made out of a really cheap plastic. They crack easy, my beats have cracked in so many places. The headband gets loose and flaps, you can see the underpart of the headphones. It is foam. They use a really thin portion of a spongey like foam to provide comfort for the head. No wonder my head hurts so much. The earcups rip easily and get dirty really quick, literally 1 gym session will get them submerged in the dirt. Yeah, pretty nasty.
Distortion: After about 4 months of owning them, I started getting very rare occasions of my headphones distorting on the max volume. I would be listening to Yes Indeed and there would be some loud THUMPS literally so loud I feel like my eardrums fell out, and it gave me an instant migraine. Now, I get them consistently. I have to keep my headphones at 75% of the volume because if it goes any louder the distortion comes back up. And for non-beats users, literally, a drop from 100% sound to 75% is like the biggest difference ever. It goes from you can't hear anything to you hearing everything. No reports of static though, but it is talked about amongst beats users so that's just something that can be a possibility.
There's a lot more cons. I just don't want to sit here typing for hours.
Apple, you've really done it. Selling less for more. If you bought these for 350. me included, yes man we're pissed off.
Take the new Apple Xs Max 256 gb for a testament to apples ridiculous overpricing. 1350. Thats 150$ more than the rent we pay. I live in New York by the way, a really expensive city. God forbid you get the Apple Xs Max 512 gb. PFFT. kiss your check out the window.
Devin Fontan lmfao dude snapped
The Bose do suck and give your head a lot of pressure from the anc that’s a fact also your ears will be hot after 30 mins. Studio3 is meh. Sennheiser pxc 550 meh but the skull candy crusher 360 wowzers
Ezugo Obuekwe skullcandy crusher 360 is where its at. They blow away the Bose Sony beats and Sennheiser
Devin Fontan well done!
fuck off ive had beats for 6 years best headphones by far
Going to ask for these for Christmas!! The last beats headphones i had the pad on the ears came off & back then i wasn’t able to get extra ear pads so they were useless to me. Can you buy extra ear pads for these headphones? I want these for the noise canceling!!
What are the other headphones that he recommended
Turn up the bass on Spotify
OOF such an underrated comment 😂 so many people dont know this and it makes the audio significantly better
Kevin Hernandez explain pls
I was disappointed because there not hitting like my old beats by Dre. My old ones from 3 years ago sound better and louder
Terrell Moore thys because they left monster

Yep, they still work fine!
