Beats Studio Buds Plus review: it’s cool to be clear

The new $149.99 Beats Studio Buds Plus improve upon the original model with better sound, more effective noise cancellation, and a unique translucent design. They also work better with Android than AirPods or the Beats Fit Pro.

Better sound, ANC, and battery life than Studio Buds ; Standout translucent case option ; Improved voice call performance

ANC and transparency fall short of second-gen AirPods Pro ; Doesn’t offer all Apple ecosystem tricks ; No wireless charging or in-ear detection

Every time I show them to someone, they’re a hit. You can also buy them in black or ivory, but come on. Where’s the fun in that? The AirPods Pro are functionally superior, and the Beats Fit Pro might make better gym companions, but these are a clear...

Beats Studio Buds+ Review: A Snug-Fitting Sweet Spot For ANC Earbuds - SlashGear

A new pair of Beats Studio Buds+ make an interesting new value proposition with ANC, extra-long battery life, low price, and semi-transparent casings.

Great sound for music and ANC ; Cross-platform support for iOS and Android ; Extra-long battery life ; New XS ear-tip boosts fit options

No in-ear sensor for auto-pause ; Spatial Audio lacks head-tracking

Beats Studio Buds+ review: Same iconic style with better ANC and battery life

With new colors including a transparent option, the Beats Studio Buds+ take ANC and battery life performance to the next level thanks to custom chipset, but is that enough at the price?

The new Beats Studio Buds+ have plenty going for them. They retain the iconic design of the original but add improved ANC performance, stronger transparency mode, and hands-free Siri support. While the increase in battery life looks like a winner, it's...

Beats Studio Buds + review

Can these Beats march to a new rhythm?

Punchy, clean sound ; Deep bass ; Improved ANC and Transparency Mode ; Good design

Rivals offer more sonic detail, texture and dynamic prowess ; Fierce competition at this price

Beats’ latest buds are neatly designed with many attractive features, but they fall short on sound quality compared with the market leaders at this price

Great looks, including Transparent option ; Good noise cancellation plus a transparency mode ; Configurable on-bud controls

Overly crisp sound quality ; No wireless charging

The new Beats Studio Buds Plus boast a stunning design, great battery life and a firm yet comfortable fit. They are also relatively feature-packed, with great features migrated from the iOS world such as spatial audio, Find My app and Siri voice...
