Beats by Dr. Dre Studio3 Wireless

Excellent design and controls ; Very comfortable ; Great non-ANC battery life ; Easy pairing with Apple products

Expensive ; Underwhelming bass ; Poor wireless call quality

Satisfying bass thump ; Collapsible design ; Comfortable, cozy pads ; Flawless operation with Apple devices

Battery life and Bluetooth suffer when not connected to Apple devices ; Sound lacks refinement, vocals lack fullness ; Competitors in same price bracket have more premium build ; MicroUSB is an anachronism, especially in Apple ecosystem

If you happen to use an Android phone or a bunch of Windows PCs, the proposition becomes much trickier. Beats wins on practically none of the major parameters of comfort, design, or performance. It’s decent in all, but without the W1 augmentation, it’s...

Rich, crisp sound signature with a focus on high-mid definition. Wireless audio and active noise cancellation. NC can be disabled to save battery life. Apple W1 chip makes pairing with iOS devices even more simple.

Expensive. No passive listening mode. Adaptive aspect of NC is not impressive.

The Beats Studio3 Wireless is a solid, balanced pair of headphones that will likely please those looking for more balance and clarity than anything else. The noise cancellation is better than average, and the easy pairing with iOS gear is a nice plus....

Pure ANC cleans up noises very well ; W1 made pairing experience easy for iOS users ; Fast-charging

Short battery life with Pure ANC enabled ; Still uses Micro-USB

Two years ago, the argument for and against Beats was cultural. It was more status symbol than really solid headphone. Athletes, celebrities and neighborhood show-offs draped them around their necks like jewelry. To many, the sound they produced paled...

Comfortable and stable fit. Good ANC feature. Low leakage.

Mic struggles to separate voice from moderately noisy environments. Just okay recording quality. No NFC or multi-device pairing. Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

The Beats Studio3 are okay for neutral sound. They have an audio reproduction that adapts to each listener. However, they tend to have a bit more high bass and low mids than the original Beats Studio Wireless. This gives them less thump and rumble and...

Clean subtle design ; Not the sound of the Beats of old ; Comfortable ; Solid build quality ; ANC works well ; Nice hard shell case included ; W1 chip and iOS integration is seamless ; Bluetooth reception is stellar

Sound leans heavier to the bass side may not be for everyone ; Clamping pressure is tight, may not set well with some ; Would have like to seen USB-C for charging ; Fingerprint magnet accents

Alright. The new Beats are nothing like the old Beats, that’s for certain. I actually enjoyed all types of music with these headphones and I could even tolerate the bassy soundstage. Apple has really put some thought into tuning these headphones with...

Battery life is superb ; Adaptive Noise Cancellation is best I've used ; Comfortable, even after long periods of listening

Price is in line with comparable headphones, but still steep

Comfortable Fit ; Quick Charging tops up battery in 10 minutes for 3 hours of listening ; Stabile connection over large area ; Solid bass performance for bass heavy tracks ; Offer extra volume over other headphones

Known pairing issues with Samsung S7 ; Lack of audible notifications for pairing mode and power toggle ; Expensive

Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones offer a comfortable fit, decent active noise cancellation and clean, though a sometimes overly processed, sound profile.
