An alternative to AirPod Pros? Yes, but with a slight lower quality difference. Worth it? Yes
I compared these beats with AirPod pros. Both are Apple products.
The beats have a smaller range of volume, the lowest volume is pretty loud for the âlowest volumeâ. Each level for volume going up is minimal compared to the AirPods. (At around 1/3 of the volume they match volume. AirPods get a lot quieter and ALOT louder, Iâd say 10% louder) The beats are loud enough for me I leave it at 3/4 of volume.
Noise cancellation is really good, some noise filters through in loud environments but itâs enough when youâre at the gym and busy places. I experienced noise filtering through when I was in a car with music blasting. So Iâd rate the noise cancellation pretty high.
Pass through, pass through is good. Iâd recommend not having the pass through when thereâs lots of noise cause itâs good and personally it can get loud. When thereâs a sudden loud noise the earbuds make the same loud noise and it could hurt your ears if you have sensitive hearing.
Cons, when in loud environments if you are on a call the earbuds filter out the noise, and when you speak it filters your voice a bit too which makes it hard for the other person on the other end to hear you. Also the bit about the loud noise with the pass through and sensitive ears is a con for me.
Battery life is really good, lasts me my work day and a bit more, Iâm sure like all batteries that would go down after use but hasnât happened to me yet Iâve had it for 2 months now.
Bluetooth, the Bluetooth is pretty strong. You could probably still have a connection a few rooms away in a house before the connection begins to fail. Unlike AirPods when you remove the bud from an ear whatever is playing will not pause unless YOU pause it. This means itâs constantly connected, when you are within the Bluetooth radius of course. Iâve lost a bud twice but this actually helped me find it, so thatâs a plus. And with these beats you cannot connect another pair to your phone like you can with AirPods. So itâs only on pair of beats at a time.
I really like the earbuds and I think they are well worth the price, to me they are a barely lesser version of AirPod pros. Iâm considering getting the studio proâs over the AirPod max after this experience.
Update 4 months later- The battery life is still very strong, I have had some issues with them disconnecting and reconnecting to my phone and I believe itâs because when I got my Apple Watch, it must be Confusing the connection between my phone and the watch. Yes, it can be annoying but to me, itâs still worth it. All really need to do is reconnect with my phone. I donât think AirPods Will have this problem. But Iâm not sure. There was one day where the noise cancellation on my right earbud stopped working, but itâs because I didnât have enough battery so I had to charge it after that I had no issues.

Read this Review (I’ll tell you why I settled on these after researching for months!)
You’re probably like me, dragging your feet for months, researching and researching for hours trying to compare brand names (Bose, or JBL? Sennheiser, or Apple?). I finally settled on these, and here’s why:
1) I didn’t want airpods. You probably also don’t want airpods (if you’re even reading this review). Not because of the quality, but because “everyone has airpods” and they’re “airpod people” (sorry to all the airpod people, including my sister). I wanted to be different (hopefully no shame there?).
2) My top priority was phone calls with my earbuds (make sure, even if you don’t end up with these earbuds, that you determine your priorities, -clearly-). These earbuds have some of the best “in ear” calling I’ve seen (next to airpods).
3) I wanted something low profile (also why I didn’t want airpods with the “stem”). These are very sleek, and don’t look flashy in the ear. They’re also not very cumbersome, and fit very snuggly. Very light, but durable – great design, even better build quality.
4) Not a huge selling factor for me personally, but if you want noise cancellation, this is your stop. I just used these this morning on the train coming into Boston, sitting next to the door leading out of the coach, and was astonished with how adaptive it was to specifically tuning out the rattling of the train. These earbuds will adapt to the environments around them!
5) The battery life is fantastic. Keep in mind, if you’re in a loud area with the noise cancelling on, and it’s working harder, you’re going to blow through your battery faster – even that considered, I was still really impressed with the battery life!
6) This is clearly designed to work seamlessly with Apple products. Pairing was a breeze, and the connectivity is strong. Beats and Apple had a beautiful handshake with this product, and it shows.
7) Lastly, the sound quality. This is unmatched with anything I’ve used prior. Has very clear audio, and a great range of tone. The bass is powerful, while balancing defined treble tones.
A couple things to consider:
-These don’t have wireless charging (unlike my other gadgets). I need to plug them into USB-C to charge. Might not be a big deal for you, but this is a drawback on my radar.
-Get a protective case! The existing charging case is well built, and sturdy – but if you’re like me, and you put your phone in a protective case, do the same for your earbuds. The case I got was drop proof, and didn’t add much to the size (it doesn’t take up much space in my pocket). It was $10 for peace of mind. Get an airtag too while you’re at it!
Overall, would recommend!

Great quality
These are very nice. I love that they give you 4 different size options for the earpiece for the perfect fit. The x-smalls were perfect for me. They feel very secure like I can move without fearing they will fall out. Noise cancellation works perfectly, and my calls are clear with the other person able to hear me clearly. Definitely worth the price. With music playing Iâm completely in my own world.

Beats Studio Beats + are the third bluetooth ear buds that I own, I have two Sonys and the Beats. The big thing to remember with all ear buds (in ear only) is the silcone ends, if they’re not the right size, the sound quality will be compromised. the right ends will establish optimal sound. Beats + has well balanced sound (provided you turn any EQ off). Great clarity and comfort. These are NOT waterproof contrary to what you have read or heard. Better pricing from Amazon than Apple.

I had been using air pod pros for the last 3 years and I adored them. They just had no battery life left and it was time to get some new ones. These are awesome! The battery life is great, the sound is good, and they stay in my ears well. I also paid for the replacement insurance because the case does feel a little cheap and I can imagine if I drop it it will definitely not last long.

I got these in November of 2023 and it is not may of 2024, have worked very well. Had very few problems (connection issues but they werenât major and easily fixed) I was either getting these or the AirPod pros, but these were cheaper then the AirPod pros but they work well. I have an iPhone and it paired just like AirPods would, and in about the same time (I have had AirPods in the past just lost them). Have the option of noise cancelation, transparency, and normal for listening mode and all work well. I use noise cancelation and it works well, AirPods work a little better but for the lower price well worth it. It wonât block out every single noise completely, but good enough for me. (I do have sensory issues with loud uncontrolled/unexpected sounds and these work well for me ofcourse everyone is different) most I hear is cars when Iâm out in public and maybe if I someone is screaming that but barely. I have had the version of these without the plus and these are definitely a step up. Looks very nice too would/have recommended

Iâve been using the Beats Studio Buds + for a few weeks now, and theyâve been fantastic overall. The sound quality is excellentârich bass, clear mids, and great noise cancellation for a truly immersive experience. They pair easily with both my iPhone and Android devices, which is a huge plus. The fit is comfortable, and I love that theyâre sweat-resistant, making them great for workouts. The spatial audio feature is an awesome touch for a more dynamic listening experience. My only minor issue is that the battery life could be a bit longer, but overall, theyâre a solid pair of earbuds for everyday use.

Noise cancelling doesn’t exist on these litteraly emphasize the high frequencies and makes them sound like transparency mode and all voices and high pitched noises are heard. Yes low frequency like fans and ac noise is lessoned but not good for home office or coffee shop working.
