Beats Studio Pro – Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones

Pros

• Battery ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  Battery life is a major advantage, with ratings up to around 40 hours with ANC off and 24 hours with ANC or transparency on, real-world use that barely dents the battery over several days, and a quick charge feature that yields roughly four hours of playback from a 10-minute top-up.
• Active noise cancellation effectiveness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  Adaptive noise canceling remains a key strength, doing a very good job of cutting subway, street and travel noise and getting close to Sony and Bose flagships, even if it still falls a small step short of the very best systems.
• Portability/foldability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  These headphones remain highly packable thanks to a fold-up design and compact, pouch-like case that make them easy to slip into a bag, even if they do not fold completely flat like some alternative over-ear ANC models.
• Ear cup padding quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The upgraded ear pads use higher grade memory foam and seamless faux leather to create a better seal and improve durability, leading reviewers to describe them as a noticeable comfort and isolation upgrade over the Studio 3 pads.
• Microphone noise reduction ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Microphone noise reduction is strong, as background street noise is heavily suppressed between spoken phrases and only slightly audible while talking, giving calls a clean, focused sound even outdoors.
• Microphone quality for calls ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Voice-call quality is a notable improvement over past Beats Studios, with callers reporting clear speech and only mild compression, making these a solid choice for frequent calls in busy environments.
• Multi-platform compatibility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Multi-platform support is a highlight, with Android users getting Google Fast Pair, a Beats app and multipoint, while Apple users benefit from iCloud pairing and spatial audio, making these a rare set of over-ear headphones that thoughtfully serve both ecosystems even if feature parity is not perfect.
• Spatial audio ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Spatial audio support, including head tracking and personalized profiles for Apple devices, performs on par with AirPods Max and AirPods Pro 2 when watching video content, giving Apple users an immersive experience that goes beyond standard stereo playback.
• Volume output ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Volume output is plentiful, with the headphones playing loud enough that reviewers often turned levels down, leaving ample headroom for use on noisy city streets and public transit.
• Carry case quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  The new compact soft zippered case is easier to pack and adds pockets for cables, offering sufficient day-to-day protection while feeling less bulky than the old hard shell, though reviewers note it can be a bit fiddly to get the headphones in and out and still feels less premium than hard cases from rivals.
• Sound quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Overall sound is balanced and energetic with tighter bass and clearer mids than the previous model, and this review again notes impressive, exciting audio that works well for many genres, though it is a bit more forward and less open and natural than top Sony and Bose rivals, especially in wireless mode.
• Wired connection sound quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Wired listening via either 3.5 mm or USB-C continues to be a strong point, with USB-C enabling cleaner, lossless playback from phones and computers at the expense of ANC and transparency, and reviewers appreciating the flexibility even if wireless remains the primary use case.
• Button control usability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Simple physical controls with clear volume buttons and a central multifunction key remain easy to learn and use on the move, even if the main button is smaller and less tactile than on some competitors.
• Transparency mode quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Transparency mode sounds natural and largely hiss free, letting in outside sound for quick conversations and awareness while staying just a little less realistic than Apple’s most seamless implementations but still very handy for commuting and travel.
• Bass performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Bass performance is punchy and tighter than on earlier Studios, giving electronic and pop tracks good impact without turning overly boomy, which fits well with their generally energetic tuning.
• Find My ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Find My style location features help users track down misplaced headphones across both platforms, adding peace of mind, though they lack the ultra-precise finding capabilities available in Apple’s latest earbuds.
• Midrange clarity ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Midrange clarity is strong, with vocals and instruments sounding more defined and slightly forward in the mix compared with older models, helping voices stay easy to follow even in dense productions.
• USB-C ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  USB-C support is well implemented, handling both charging and digital audio so users can plug directly into modern Android phones, iPads and laptops for lossless playback, though enabling USB-C audio disables noise canceling and transparency features while in that mode.
• Price value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
  Overall value is strong when discounted, as reviewers note the Studio Pro become very appealing once prices fall below list and compete well against more expensive flagships, but at full 350 dollar pricing they face tough competition from frequently discounted Sony WH-1000XM5 and upcoming Bose models.
• Build quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.5
  Build quality is sturdy enough for regular travel with a refined, mostly plastic construction that uses more recycled materials and a hinge that feels durable and no longer prone to cracking, though the finish still lacks the premium metal feel of some competitors and darker colors can show fingerprints.
• Design and Aesthetics ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Design sticks closely to the classic Beats Studio look with subtler branding and more recycled materials, giving a cleaner, more relaxed aesthetic that some will appreciate, although others may be disappointed by the lack of a more dramatic visual redesign in such a competitive market.
• Treble clarity ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Treble is detailed and sculpted, adding excitement and sparkle, but the upper ranges can feel more aggressive than the smoother, more relaxed presentation of some competing flagships, which may not suit listeners who prefer a laid back sound.
