Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones - Apple W1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, Active Noise Cancelling, 22 Hours Of Listening Time, Built-in Microphone - White

Product Information

As EDM and hip-hop are two of my favorite genres of music these days, it’s nice to have a pair of cans that really let you feel the bass drop. What’s more, if you own other Apple devices, this is the only time you’ll ever need to set them up. So long as your iCloud account is active and your other devices are connected using the same Apple ID, they’ll be set up for you automatically – even your Apple Watch. If you pair your headphones with an iPhone that uses iOS 11 or later, your headphones automatically update to the latest firmware. When it comes to noise cancelling, we’d rank these Beats below the class leaders. But their Pure Active Noise Cancelling tech is more than able to muffle generic hubbub, by dynamically adjusting to what’s going on around you.

On the positive side, when connected to the Samsung Galaxy S5, I could easily walk around my 900 square-foot apartment and a friend's roughly 1,500 square-foot house, all without a single dropout. Impressive! Call Quality The Beats Studio3 Wireless have a built-in rechargeable battery that can be recharged via micro USB cable. As an Android user, I prefer this approach, but Apple users may want a Lightning port similar to that of the Beats X Wireless earbuds.

Just like last year’s Solo3, the Beats Studio3 Wireless are Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC). That means they monitor ambient sound and play a sound wave along with your music to cancel it out.

The headphones fit snug to the head, which gives them a cool streamlined appearance. The ear pads are synthetic leather, but soft as Mr Whippy’s finest. They’re comfortable, although after a few hours your ears will begin to sweat. I wore the Studio3s over the course of two weeks for between 3-4 hours at a time in relative comfort due to the plushy ear cups and the adjustable headband. The clear choice for those that place a premium on comfort without sacrificing sound quality and noise cancellation Build quality appears to be excellent, too, with a steel band providing the headphones’ endoskeleton and scratch-resistant matte plastic adorning the finishing touches. This is not to say they won’t drop deep. Take the Money and Crawl (Green Day, from Father of All…) lays the beat down like Conor McGregor.

Press the power button on your headphones for 5 seconds. When the five Fuel Gauge lights flash, your headphones are discoverable. Seamless switching. On iOS 10 or iOS 11, you can switch between iCloud-registered devices, allowing you to take calls, control music and activate Siri with on-ear controls.However, the Studio3 does have some issues. First and foremost was the inability to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S7, even though devices less than a third of the price encountered no such problems. The ANC was decent, but not up to par with competing models. To activate Siri on your iOS device or the voice-command feature on another device, use the b button on the left earcup or use the center button on the RemoteTalk cable. Press and holduntil you hear a chime, then say what you need.
