Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones – Apple W1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, 22 Hours of Listening Time, Built-in Microphone – Matte Black

quality headphones, when on a sale a great value
I think these headphones are terrific. I am not a techie or a sound system professional or anything close to that – just someone who enjoys all kinds of music and wants to enjoy it with a nice set of earbuds or headphones. Also, I’m a little bougie and like “status” brands so who wouldn’t think I was cool in a pair of Beats Studio 3s? LOL.In reading the reviews, I was a bit nervous to get these because it seemed that a lot of the more recent ones were a bit negative in terms of the “quality of sound” and the noise cancelling. I looked at a lot other wireless headphones – AirPods Max, Bose, JBL, Sony etc. I decided to still purchase because at the Prime Day price (which I snagged earlier than Prime Day) they were a steal.I have been testing these out for a couple days. I think that the noise cancelling is fine. No, it’s not like getting sucked into a vacuum but it cancels out the surrounding external sound enough so that I can fully immerse myself in the music. I find that this fits my “smallish” head and ears just fine, it’s comfortable after about 4-5 hours of wear and still plenty of battery life. Most headphones, and earbuds, I have owned get uncomfy after a while and honestly I only see myself using these in spurts of 1-5 hours at a time anyway. The matte black style I got is very sleek and subtle; the packaging is beautiful, feels very “exclusive”.Paired with my iphone 12 with no issue and every time I turn on the headphone power it immediately connects. I like the volume, play/pause/skip/back control. I don’t intend to use this to take/make phone calls.So, at the sale price I think these were a great buy.Update: wore these today (7/18/23) in my home office and was driving my hubs crazy because I could not hear him and was not responding to him when he called my name repeatedly. He was sitting less than 10 feet away from me. So I’d say the noise canceling seems to work pretty well. 😉

The Only Headphones I Will Wear
I’ve always had issues with headphones either looking too stretched out on my head or them being too tight on my ears, and these are the only headphones I have found after looking for well over five years that I can wear both for school and take to the gym without my head hurting or without them looking very ugly on my head. The battery lasts forever, and the sound quality of them is better than my AirPods to the point where I have not used them ever since I got these headphones. The Bluetooth works great. I use it when I am at my computer for school, at the gym, or cleaning and I have had no problems with it. They are very durable. I have dropped them a few times. Normally, I wouldn’t spend this much on headphones, but they were on sale and I would honestly pay the price of them not being on sale because of the fact that they are better than my AirPods. That being said, they have a great value for money. The headphones themselves charge pretty fast, so if you forget to charge them and they’re dead, you should only have to for a short while to get a couple hours of use out of them. These headphones are amazing.

The Pros are trash. Studio 3s all day!
DO NOT FALL FOR THE HYPE The “Beats Studio Pros” are trash! These, the “The Studio 3s” are their best model to date. The new pro models are very cheap and feel very poorly made. They are very uncomfortable and the hype on their noise cancellation is trash. However the Beats Studio 3s feel amazing. From the nice packing box to the case it comes with. Do your own research. Trust me I went to BestBuy and bought the Pros and returned them the very next day. I already own a pair of Studio 3s and wanted that hyped noise cancellation 3D sound when Bluetooth to my Apple TV. However, I was not impressed at all. The sound quality was horrible very low couldn’t hear anything. No bass. And like I said before VERY uncomfortable. The Studio 3s might become a rare product now that Apple owns the company

Great sound and quality

He’s been very happy with sound quality and noise canceling at home and while on a plane. I bought them as an anniversary gift and he loved enough to buy Beats earbuds days later. He has a very expensive Bose pair and says they are better in some aspects but these are a great replacement!
