Beats Studio Buds

Well-priced ; Good sound quality ; Good ANC ; Good transparency ; Very comfortable

No wireless charging ; No wear sensors ; No EQ or control customization

“In the Studio Buds, Beats found a perfect balance between features and price.”

Compact, comfortable design ; Good sound quality for the price ; USB-C ; They support Android features

Poor noise cancellation ; Disappointing mic performance ; No wireless charging ; They don’t offer all of Apple’s software tricks

The new Beats Studio Buds are $150 noise-canceling earbuds with a sleek, lightweight design. They support special software features on both the iPhone and Android and sound good for the price, but they have disappointing noise cancellation.

Relatively affordable active noise cancellation ; Huge bass matched with crisp, balanced highs ; Easy-to-use on-ear controls ; One-touch pairing with Android and iOS ; Solid iOS integration

Noise cancellation is merely average ; No USB-A adapter or wireless charging capability ; Not for anyone seeking an accurate sound signature

The true wireless Beats Studio Buds deliver thunderous bass depth matched by crisp highs for a balanced mix, with decent noise cancellation for a reasonable price.

Wide and well-balanced sound ; Pretty good ANC ; Striking design ; Platform neutral ; Sufficient battery life

Missing key features tied to H1 chip ; So-so call quality and Transparency Mode ; No wireless charging

Well-balanced musically for a wide range of genres ; Solid battery life ; Near-parity of iPhone and Android features ; ANC is decent

No wireless charging for the case ; Fans of Beats' legendary bass may be left wanting ; No in-ear sensor for automatic pause ; In-call mic performance falls short

Don't leak a lot of audio at high volumes. IPX4 rating. Very consistent audio delivery. Comfortable, well-built design.

Sub-par overall mic performance. Disappointing ANC. Bad passive soundstage performance. No sound customization features.

The Beats Studio Buds are okay for neutral sound. While they have a fairly neutral sound profile, they have an underemphasized bass, so mixes lack thump, rumble, and boom. A dip in the treble range also hurts the clarity of vocals and lead instruments....

Phenomenal sound ; Comfortable fit ; Native support for both Android and iOS ; Easy to use controls ; Water-resistant (IPX4) ; Priced well ; App ; Supports Apple Music Spatial Audio on both Android and iOS

No wireless charging ; Mediocre mic ; Not the strongest ANC

The first truly wireless earbuds from Beats sound incredible and they’re priced well

Hassle-free connection. Noise reduction and ambient sound, supports Spatial Audio. Missing plugs can be found using the mobile phone.

Harsh sound, no app with EQ adjustment.

I was looking forward to testing Beats Studio Buds, especially since Powerbeats Pro are my favorite plugs to train with. But Studio Buds fatt flat on the ground with a sound that is too sharp and brutal for me to appreciate.

Powerful sound ; Solid ANC ; Fits well in the ear ; Very compact earbuds ; Also "easy-to-use" under Android

Bass is too heavy ; No equalizer in the Beats app ; Too few features at this price point

In summary, Apple and Beats' work on the Studio Buds is one of the better true wireless earbuds with ANC out there, offering surprisingly much value for less than $150. By "much", we mainly mean the powerful sound quality and the good ANC. Build...
