Such inspiring technological progress. It makes me wonder what other futuristic innovations we might be overlooking. Perhaps pillows without replaceable covers? Shavers without replaceable blades? Shoes without replaceable laces? Cars without replaceable tyres? Hopefully one day we can reach the Adhesive Singularity where everything is glued to everything else.
I had the previous gen, also with non replaceable ear cups. The earcup plush material started disintegrating after about 4 years of use. Price of “repair” according to Apple? $300, might as well by new ones at that point
Thank you very much ! It is super rare to have honest feedbacks with all the reviewers praising every single product they receive ! Please keep it real !

I really appreciate the depth and experience you give items before giving feedback. Thank you and great work!
@@xuduwu3472 bruh… I own the Beats Studio Pro, the AirPods Max, the AirPods Pro and my old Bose QC 35 II. The Studio Pros completely wreck my Bose headphones in bot ANC and audio quality (especially due to spatial audio)… they do come rather close to the Max in regard to sound quality. My only gripe is that they are a bit quiet and don’t get as loud as the Bose. This guy is spewing crap
Spot on. Who cares about gimmicks when basic ergonomy is hopeless? With headphones, there's 3 main priorities - make sure they only produce sound out of their speakers, make sure they fit well, and make sure they sound good according to the budget. Everything else is just a bonus. I don't care if the best headphones in the world are held down by an anvil, I won't use them because it's an ergonomic nightmare
it all depends, for me these over the head headphones are the best, I don't have headache with 'em and they are very lite + I love how they sound. So its all depends. And yes I've tried different headphones in this price range (Sony, Bose and Senheiser) - non of the mentioned above suit for me. Same with air pods - some people like them - others don't. The price for beats is bad tho.
@@geekgamingnetwork958 lol nah I know that. im just saying that he missed battery life from his "3 main priorities" since the subject is wireless headphones

@@paulschlacter4181 dude you have no idea.

Problem with most big tech channels is that they are too afraid of losing access to be actually critical of these company’s products (similar issue occurs often in political media). Thank you for being honest and thorough.
I usually watch a lot of reviews, but this really made me reconsider paying attention to other reviewers. The people that didn't even test find my suck.
Only 1:30 in but these are exactly what my complaints were and why I returned them after 2 days. I was amazed that they were getting such great reviews from everyone else
I actually thought Apple buying Beats would be a good thing, they could put some neat tech capabilities in there, but it seems it's just the name they wanted. Not surprised that they are so-so, it's about the name anyways. Straight to the point review this one.
To be fair I do think they were more concerned with buying the tech for the sake of having a jump-start on developing the 1st Generation Airpods, and also the foundations of the ANC technology found in the Airpod Pro's and Max. Nowadays I think we're gonna see less beats products sharing the Apple chips (like here) because I think theyve got all they need to out of that purchase and now it really is just a brand. Why beats and not anyone else? I think that just comes down to the fact Beats and Apple already had quite the working relationship, and I think Apple wanted Beats Music as the foundation for what became Apple Music too. Just my 2c
I did mention that at the end of my comment but, yeah @@tronam I think thats a big part of it. I was mainly taking issue with the idea that apple only bought Beats for the sake of having the brand under their belt when I think Beats had a lot more value in their tech and business model than the weight of the brand truly does.
Apple didn’t want the headphones, they wanted Jimmy Iovine and Beats Music which was rebranded Apple Music. The headphones business came as a bonus, but I think they would rather not have had to keep that brand alive.
@@kaijuchomps4411Apple didn’t need the brand Beats. Their own brand is worth so much more. They also got rid of the Beats brand for the music service which was renamed to Apple Music.
The pads are replaceable…usb c is a major sound improvement…Beats Studio are notoriously durable and the buttons last…. Excellent gym headphones great transparency and anc and good on calls
I wholeheartedly disagree with this reviewer. I just bought the beat studio pro, and I think for their price point they are perfectly great. They sound very good. They look good. They work extremely seamlessly with an iPhone. Are they as good as my Shure SE 846 in ear monitors? Of course not. But I’m not expecting them to be. In my opinion, they are a better option than the new AirPod maxes which are shamefully the same as the old ones and not that much better than these beat studio pros.
Thanks Quinn for always providing the more exhaustive reviews out there. Other reviewers’ reviews mostly comprise of first impressions, not long term use.
Very much agree with this. Unboxing = Not even worth my time Impression = 1 day (don't really care as a person who is spending money on it....) Experience = 1-7 days (interesting for buyer remorse) User = 1 Month+ (You will know what it is like to take it out of your bag, connect, etc. What are the annoying bits, decerning details, daily use, etc)
The earcups and batteries on beats are actually pretty easy to replace. They aren't quick swap, but I replaced them a couple of times back in the day on the solo3 and it was easy enough.
@@uchihasasuke7436 I'm just pointing out that he made a comment about repairability that actually isn't necessarily true. The beat I repaired had glued on earpads and you had to pop open the plastic to get at the battery, but it was still pretty easy.
My $170 Anker Soundcore Q45 have LDAP support, BT Multipoint, no plastic crunching, good enough ANC for an office at a sawmill (120dB outside office), a much better soundstage, and left my wallet feeling might better.
As an owner of these headphones, I can say this is a completely fair review, except for the subjective parts like material and button feel, and the comment about squeaking. I bought mine for $170 from target. They are also available for $170 at bestbuy. None of the competitors mentioned in the video come close to that price.
the ear cups are replaceable just like they are on the studio 3's, the process of replacing them took me about 10 minutes and only cost £10 for replacement ear cups
I hate how 90% of reviewers are just mindlessly positive. They trick you into buying garbage you end up instantly returning. Appreciate reviews like this
This country is plagued by dishonesty in every walk of life. There is little integrity left. Almost everyone can be bought, which is why this channel is special, because it is that rare gem of honesty that we all so very much need.
Just bought these today. I just tried the find my feature on the phone while the headphones were paired with the MacBook. The find me feature made the sound and all that. So not sure about the problem there.
I'm still rocking the same pair of Sony MDR-7506 cans, purchased 23 years ago. Outside of replacing a broken earpiece clip and the cups (for $25 total) , they continue to work beautifully. Hard pass at any Apple headphone due to the fact that the batteries are not replaceable.
**Update** At their current price of 179 they’ve become probably the best bang for your buck for the sound quality given on the market. Dude here and most of his fans in the comments are just Apple haters. They work great with my galaxy And iPhone. These have always been geared towards sport so you don’t need anything heavier than the material used. If you want fancy metal/aluminum then go find that. As far as sound, Dr Dre created it for hard hitting bass and disregarded the mids intentionally. This has always been the headphone and it’s a pretty consistent product. And like I said at the current price of 179 you will NOT find a better option.
Just got them for $180 and they sound good with just about every Metal artist I throw at them. The lack of bass is shocking but I don't like overbearing bass anyways to it doesn't bother me. The vocal clarity is what is most shocking to me as the Solo 3's I use at the gym suck at basically everything.
This I probably the worst review I’ve seen on these headphone I’ve seen. I went to an Apple store to buy AirPod max headphones and ended up leaving with these. Why? Because they were lighter on my head, the audio quality isn’t really that much off than the AirPods, many more features, and they fold. Crazy that you said the noise cancellation is better than the XM4/5 and AP Max because they are NOT. Out of the 4 the AirPod max and then xm4s have the best noise cancellation and the AP Max have the best transparency mode. They audio quality is fine and even better when you use Spatial Audio through Apple Music. There is plenty of instrument separation and I never turn my volume up above 70% due to the ANC. maybe you’re starting to have hearing problems or something. Pointing out the noise the plastic make is very nit-picky. Why even pay attention to that when you’re using them to listen to the audio quality coming from the cans and not the build material that hold it together? The band is metal and they fold which means they’re easy pack and won’t easily break. I personally only have an iPhone and Apple Watch so all of the Apple multi connect features don’t matter to me as to most people but the fact that the seamlessly connect to my iPhone is a huge plus. And again, pair that with being an Apple Music User having Spatial Audio and lossless quality music through the app is a huge plus for both wired and wireless respectively. This review was more complaining about things you don’t like rather than giving an unbiased review. Edit: No idea why your ears are itching either. I’ve been wearing them consistently for almost a year and not once can I say my ears have ever itched.
Quinn: “Guys I personally think this is bad because of these reasons” This comment: “He just dislikes the beats because he didn’t consider my specific use case” And Instrument seperation? Nah you’re lying to yourself. Need to go to a hifi headphone store and ask someone what that sounds like
Had them for a week. I agree in every point with Quinn. I may add the following complaints: the ear-cups pressed in a bizarre way into my jaw-bone under my ear after one hour (also mentioned by macaddress) and their rattling build-quality was a real problem on the plane. I tried to sleep and so I leant my head against the side wall and the slight vibrations of the plane got amplified as hell. never had such a problem with my Bose QC35. Unusable!
My Hot Take: The modus operandi of Western tech companies is to make their budget products deliberately worse, so they don't compete with their own premium products. And that's why they're losing to Chinese manufacturers, who just pack in as much functionality as possible (albeit sometimes too much).
Yeah, except this is every company in the world - car companies sell lesser cars or have entire lesser brands. Clothes companies have cheaper brands. Shoe companies. Kitchen appliance companies. This isn't limited to tech, and I am not sure what Chinese companies you are referring to that tech companies are losing to.
@@3seriouss Sure, all companies make cheaper versions of their products with fewer features and cheaper components. But increasingly I'm convinced that brands are deliberately engineering their cheaper products to make them worse.
I felt like this when HDTV came out. Yeah maybe we've gotten used to it so much that SD looks horrendous now, but I swear they've pulled bandwidth from SD, making it look terrible, so they can save Bandwidth making the HD look good
I received a pair of Beats Solo 3 a few years back, and I’ll just say that this informative review describes an experience very much like the one I had with the Solo W for 1yr until the ear-cup lining all disintegrated and completely fell off. And, although deeply annoyed by the clear push to upgrade by the headache-inducing ear-cups being non replaceable, & despite the rest of the cans still being functional, I would never want to replace the ear-cups for my ears to once again be greeted by such terrible sounding headphones. Needless to say, I didn’t upgrade to another pair of Beats. Well, I don’t think anyone really does, even if they purchase another pair. Rather, they continue the experience, and who would purposefully and intentionally do that to themselves?
I purchased these and returned them 20 minutes after I left the store. The old beats were WAY louder, I think apple cut back on the production on purpose. These were essentially oversized regular airpods (in regard to sound quality)
I sold beats for years in the airport when they first came out… pre apple. It’s always been crappy. Lol. I’ll never forget unboxing for a customer and the ear cup fell off coming out of the package.
I just bought the Studio Pro’s yesterday and I am returning them the day after because they aren’t what I expected. I thought they would sound better than the TOZO HT2 headphones I already own , but to my surprise they don’t🤨…$33 TOZO headphones for the win🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I assume they need to be on whenever the 3.5mm is in because they may do some active EQing to make it sound better than it is. a sneaky way to make the audio better for cheap. $249 is astronomically too expensive for headphones like the beats since you can get earbuds for $20-30 that have a really close Harman target.
You're correct, but Psychoacoustics (the thing youre referring to with the EQ while powered on) is common in almost every single wireless headphone at this point, especially Apple's Airpods Pro and the like. It isnt nessecarily a bad thing, it just turns out you can skimp a lot on driver development by tuning the signal perfectly enough to get the same effect.
That frequency response... Holy moly. That's not just the sub-bass. That's a lot of mid-bass as well. That's a lot of bloat. Also, what is with the treble? There's the pinna gain rise which is expected, but then there's a small dip and a near equal rise again? Also, what's with the mids having that sharp dip for no reason? So it's basically for people whose hearing is restricted to like 400Hz and 4KHz instead of the usual 20 to 20k. Edit: THEY'RE $350 BUCKS? MOTHERFUCKER. FOR WHAT?
the beats actually look the best imo, are more comfy than all the others ive tried (xm5,jbl tour one, sennheizer accentum) and even tho they lack bass, u can add bass in the Spotify EQ and then they will sound really bassy while still being crisp and clear
Objectively, these headphones are built like shit and that alone isnt worth its price for me. But i feel like some of the complaints past that are more of a nothingburger, such as: 1) The controls, It's better than touch controls in my opinion and the playback controls mimic of remote talk cable like you would see on earphones and headphone cables. Yes, it feels like shit pressing it, but that's more of a complaint on its crappy 10-year-old build design instead. 2) using the 3.5 mm is scientifically, not lossless. All of these active powered headphones are playing around with the digital signal, therefore 99% of them are going to be converting them back to digital first and then processing. Even Apple doesn't bullshit that with their own headphones, as shown in the Apple music lossless help page. 3) It's tuning is a massive improvement over the bloody mess that was beats pre 2019. It's sub bass boost is not much different compared to the bloated garbage crap that is Sony's, the slight bass boost that is bose, or to mess that is the momentum 4s. Now technicalities, these headphones are mid and you'd be much better off buying some cheaper noise canceling headphones along with something else that would actually sound good for private chambers. 3) gimmcks like find my are useless if you know how to keep your headphones. Plus apples methods of find my are useless if you don't have an iPhone, as well as most headphones with a find my like feature are just as limited. 4) I agree that these headphones are hardly "over ear" headphones, but comfort is subjective and you're definitely some people that would find these very very comfortable compared to the overly spacious feeling that other over-ear headphones from their perspective. In my opinion, if you bought these headphones, you didn't make the worst purchase. Compared to the competition, the only thing it really lacks is just build quality.
I am sooo glad you got that review out. I am yet to go buy any new Bluetooth headphones as they are costly. I want some decent headphones that I can rely on when not being used in Bluetooth mode and sound just as good via a 3.5mm connection even after the battery has completely died in several years. I won’t buy Bluetooth headphones knowing they become useless when the battery is dead in a few years and becomes e-waste
I got the Solo Pro around the time they got discounted (which wasn't that much time after they released) and it was miles improved from the previous solo lines of both Apple and especially Monster so I thought the Studio would follow but to my suprise, the Solo Pro got discontinued a year or so after its release and we get this thing. Maybe it was a cost cutting tactic for Apple since the Solo Pro was actually pretty well built and a noticeable upgrade from its predessor, unlike what we have right here. As far as I remember, the Solo Pro, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Flex, and Beats Studio Buds were the only ones that got decent and favorable reviews from people like MKBHD, UrAvgConsumer, CNET, and even audiophiles like JimsReviewRoom. Sad to see Apple take one step back with this one.
Another pair of headphones I would recommend over these are the Sennheiser PXC 550 2s. Unfortunately, more recently Sennheiser has picked up the very bad habit of discontinuing all their good products. So availability on these will become limited in the near future.
I liked the last version and could still find them on sale at Walmart. My previous pair started to fall apart after a few years. I bought the new ones and returned them when the sound was too low but now realized maybe I shoulda realized one of the cups had the volume buttons built in.
Spot on review! I got these Beats headset free with my purchase of a new 2021 iMac (student discount). I’ve wondered how the reviews on Apple and Amazon were way off on this Beats headset. Quinn sums it all up perfectly. Now my Beats headset plastic is cracked by the adjustment right ear cup and is unserviceable due to Apple warranty expired. I find it unacceptable to sell these over $99
Picked these up for $197 brand new at Target. I think at that price it’s pretty good, I’ll see how much I like them in the next week walking around my university!
Thank god for this review. My store got a demo unit of these headphones at launch and for the past month I've been wondering if I'm crazy since to me they felt like cheap junk while all of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive
Glad I seen this. I was going to go buy them today on sale for 179.99, but now I know why they are such a deep discount so early. I will stick with Studio 3 and wait for the new AirPods Max.
I may or may not trade my 1st gen AirPods Max's in for the 2nd gen one. Depends on if they're worth it or not. I've had the 1st gens since Black Friday 2022, so 1 year. They're pretty good.
3:21 they're probably using lossless the same way they did when first removing the headphone jack, spinning having to use lightning as a positive because the signal is digital and thus avoids the (miniscule) losses incurred with analogue audio cables There is some merit to that, but *only* if the dac on the other end of that signal is at least on par with the one in your phone. If it isn't, it's quite a bit worse/more lossy
I am curious how you and Marques Brownlee have such different opinions. I usually kind of trust him for headphone reviews and he seemed to think they are comfortable and sound fine. Maybe he never even used them and was in such a rush to put out a video but it does seem odd. Anyway this is a great review, it's so thorough and nice to hear other products mentioned, more than just in passing.
The case sucks . The volume is lower than the original Studio 3. The bass is lower than the original Studio 3. Overall the Studio pro is a cheaper made product that are a disappointment. Save your money or buy some V Moda's .
I was really pleased to hear you commenting of the heat inside the ear cups. I’d be interested to know what you think is the best is for comfort in terms of temperature. I recently sold my AirPods Max because of this. After 30-60 minutes my ears were red hot and uncomfortable. That’s not to mention the skin irritation I had to the ear cup fabric. Washing the ear cups with water did resolve the skin irritation. At the moment I’m using a family members QC45’s when they’re aren’t travelling. They’re decent, still quite hot and warm after 1-2 hours.
You always have such a fair view on your reviews. I thought I was crazy when everyone was praising these headphones when some glaring issues were apparent when they first released
I was already sceptical when I read some of the praising reviews and was very curious about your opinion on the headphones. The squeaking and creaking of the headphones would drive me crazy. I would love to see more audio centric reviews by you!
I haven’t really seen any other reviews that have mentioned that the creeking. I wasn’t gonna buy them, but you mentioning it really made me never want to buy them.
To expand aswell, I bought the praised Sony Linkbuds S, and I’ve never been more dissapointed, they were good in some ways, they ended up having an issue where I coulden’t walk with ANC or transparancy on.
i have the soundcore Q30s, best bluetooth headphones i've had until now, earpads are replaceable and i think they can smash this new kids toy apple released
havent heard them, but I have two of the previous studios, QC35ii, Sony XM1kv3, and Pods Pro Max...the Beats studios are the best I have for exercise...by a mile. Audio signature I like my AirPodsMax, but nowhere near my Shiit stack and Sennheiser 660s
I’m confused, are you from a different universe? Only a small amount of your points hold any value at all. You’re plain wrong about the multi-point bluetooth support. Then your complaints about the build quality are mind boggling, even my by now ancient Studio 2 Wireless put anything Sony has ever built to shame in terms of build quality, even after years of intensive use they only needed a pad replacement once which was more than easy enough. Just peel the old ones off and stick some new ones on. My Solo Pro’s which I’ve used extensively show no signs of cracking or worn out earpads, my girlfriend claimed them and so I’ve got a pair of these Studio Pro’s now. Oh and I did try a pair of Sony XM3’s before I bought my Solo Pro’s a few years ago, I was immediately shocked by how extremely poorly they were built. Creaky, fragile, uncomfortable, and not to mention that the sound quality that everyone told me was very good was just utter garbage! And even now, I went to my local Mediamarkt and tried out both the XM4’s and XM5’s and they’re still shockingly bad. Then there’s a bit of preference for the optical ear sensors, I never use those on any device (like my Airpods Pro 2 which I love but unfortunately can’t wear that often because my ear canals get itchy after wearing any in-ears for longer than an hour or so), they only get in the way. Not to mention that for some reason you still think the Beats sound is “typical” yet it has absolutely no resemblance to how the notorious Beats sound was pre-Apple. If anything, that’s how Sony headphones sound nowadays.
I’ve never understood the Beats fans, to me they’ve always been dreadful, but then I think the people buying them have no idea bout what good audio is.
@@adamburke4738 to me they sounded utterly dreadful compared to any headphone I own. I have the Sony XM3s which comfortably beat them all round at lower price with a similar feature set, and my hifiman sundara and Shure SRH1540s just blow them out the water from an SQ standpoint, there’s literally no comparison.
@victuringan1429 because as I said, most people don't understand good sound. They're streaming off Spotify thinking it's good quality, not realising that they're getting a fraction of the frequency range let alone resolution and dynamics.
I honestly watched a couple reviews for these beats and ALL have praised these headphones. I honestly think these headphones are the exact same ones from 2017 but with a few upgrades
For $350 the beats are ehh. But I got mine for 180 because of Black Friday discount and that makes them extremely worth. I just feel like the “honesty” is a bit overkill in this video. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but in this video there’s just excessive downplaying on the studio pros. There are ALWAYS cons for everything in this world but when something has cons it typically also has pros, so to see this guy and everyone else in these comments trashing it like it’s some sort of $5 pair of headphones is kinda OD. For the people that haven’t tried them, y’all definitely don’t have an opinion on the matter lmao, y’all just bandwagons and that’s the truth. However, for those that have used this product long enough to have a valid opinion, then at least be honest enough to accept that there are pros in this product.
I had these for about a week paid 180 also on discount took them back and got the sony xm5 earbuds and don’t regret it one bit they are miles better in my opinion but to each their own
@@Badgerpazz nice like i said to each there own as long as your happy then all good in my opinion in having used both the sony sound much better and louder
This is a much really believable review and I think the harshest review I've ever seen you give anything. I mean, sure, Apple is going to blacklist the shit out of you for it, but we appreciate the honesty. 🙂
Could have just been a 5 second video pointing out the earpads being non-replaceable. That's all I need to know these aren't a good buy.
Such inspiring technological progress. It makes me wonder what other futuristic innovations we might be overlooking. Perhaps pillows without replaceable covers? Shavers without replaceable blades?

Sorry, you are late to the game@@andybrice2711 Shavers without replaceable blades are already invented.
I had the previous gen, also with non replaceable ear cups. The earcup plush material started disintegrating after about 4 years of use. Price of “repair” according to Apple? $300, might as well by new ones at that point

No, they bought Beats to get Jimmy Iovine and his connections to the music industry to help spearhead Apple Music.
I did mention that at the end of my comment but, yeah @@tronam I think thats a big part of it.
I was mainly taking issue with the idea that apple only bought Beats for the sake of having the brand under their belt when I think Beats had a lot more value in their tech and business model than the weight of the brand truly does.
Apple didn’t want the headphones, they wanted Jimmy Iovine and Beats Music which was rebranded Apple Music.
The headphones business came as a bonus, but I think they would rather not have had to keep that brand alive.
@@kaijuchomps4411Apple didn’t need the brand Beats. Their own brand is worth so much more. They also got rid of the Beats brand for the music service which was renamed to Apple Music.
The pads are replaceable…usb c is a major sound improvement…Beats Studio are notoriously durable and the buttons last…. Excellent gym headphones great transparency and anc and good on calls
Finally someone talks about the creaking!
No other reviewer talks about the crappy build quality while you can even hear it when they handle them.
I wholeheartedly disagree with this reviewer. I just bought the beat studio pro, and I think for their price point they are perfectly great. They sound very good. They look good. They work extremely seamlessly with an iPhone. Are they as good as my Shure SE 846 in ear monitors? Of course not. But I’m not expecting them to be. In my opinion, they are a better option than the new AirPod maxes which are shamefully the same as the old ones and not that much better than these beat studio pros.
Thanks Quinn for always providing the more exhaustive reviews out there. Other reviewers’ reviews mostly comprise of first impressions, not long term use.
Very much agree with this.
Unboxing = Not even worth my time
Impression = 1 day (don't really care as a person who is spending money on it....)
Experience = 1-7 days (interesting for buyer remorse)
User = 1 Month+ (You will know what it is like to take it out of your bag, connect, etc. What are the annoying bits, decerning details, daily use, etc)
Agree about other reviewers but I don’t agree with this review.
This is why I wait for the long (one month reviews) before buying any audio product. I don’t care who makes it and who says it’s good.
Marques.....
@@crashn2me105 I watch Marques’ reviews all the time, and his review of the Beats is what made me decide to buy them.
The earcups and batteries on beats are actually pretty easy to replace. They aren't quick swap, but I replaced them a couple of times back in the day on the solo3 and it was easy enough.
Not all models are the same…
@@uchihasasuke7436 I'm just pointing out that he made a comment about repairability that actually isn't necessarily true. The beat I repaired had glued on earpads and you had to pop open the plastic to get at the battery, but it was still pretty easy.
My $170 Anker Soundcore Q45 have LDAP support, BT Multipoint, no plastic crunching, good enough ANC for an office at a sawmill (120dB outside office), a much better soundstage, and left my wallet feeling might better.
Best review I've watched in a long time ❤
As an owner of these headphones, I can say this is a completely fair review, except for the subjective parts like material and button feel, and the comment about squeaking. I bought mine for $170 from target. They are also available for $170 at bestbuy. None of the competitors mentioned in the video come close to that price.
I love these headphones and ur right for 170 is a steal but for 350 no
Way
But you also got it on sale….
Appreciate that you actually test the product 👍🏻 Seems like many others just read the data sheet
This was a fantastic review! I love how you just don’t give a crap and just spit the truth
There is no way that should be $350. It creaks worse than my desk chair 🤣
the ear cups are replaceable just like they are on the studio 3's, the process of replacing them took me about 10 minutes and only cost £10 for replacement ear cups
My main issue is with the name "Studio Pro". They don't belong in a studio...unless you need a fancy paperweight.
Mine make a static noise cuz the noise cancelling 🤧
I hate how 90% of reviewers are just mindlessly positive. They trick you into buying garbage you end up instantly returning. Appreciate reviews like this
Brand loyalty.
6:14 phone wall paper, it's 76 Wan Chai Rd, Hong Kong. (lived there 6 years and that street is where i got my produce).
This country is plagued by dishonesty in every walk of life. There is little integrity left. Almost everyone can be bought, which is why this channel is special, because it is that rare gem of honesty that we all so very much need.
Dramatic. It is just another review. Just because it is inline with your views it is somehow more honest? Please.
Just bought these today. I just tried the find my feature on the phone while the headphones were paired with the MacBook. The find me feature made the sound and all that. So not sure about the problem there.
I was shocked when I saw the price. You can buy a pretty good pair of headphones/earphones for this price.
Lets be honest, you can buy better headphones for half the price easily
I'm still rocking the same pair of Sony MDR-7506 cans, purchased 23 years ago. Outside of replacing a broken earpiece clip and the cups (for $25 total) , they continue to work beautifully. Hard pass at any Apple headphone due to the fact that the batteries are not replaceable.
**Update** At their current price of 179 they’ve become probably the best bang for your buck for the sound quality given on the market. Dude here and most of his fans in the comments are just Apple haters. They work great with my galaxy And iPhone. These have always been geared towards sport so you don’t need anything heavier than the material used. If you want fancy metal/aluminum then go find that. As far as sound, Dr Dre created it for hard hitting bass and disregarded the mids intentionally. This has always been the headphone and it’s a pretty consistent product. And like I said at the current price of 179 you will NOT find a better option.
I agree!!!
Just got them for $180 and they sound good with just about every Metal artist I throw at them. The lack of bass is shocking but I don't like overbearing bass anyways to it doesn't bother me. The vocal clarity is what is most shocking to me as the Solo 3's I use at the gym suck at basically everything.
Today (2024-11-25), with the Black friday sale, they are available for $160 on Best Buy.
I agree with your statements kinda sounds like more hate than help from the reviewer but hey what do i know... I like what i like too..
This I probably the worst review I’ve seen on these headphone I’ve seen. I went to an Apple store to buy AirPod max headphones and ended up leaving with these. Why? Because they were lighter on my head, the audio quality isn’t really that much off than the AirPods, many more features, and they fold. Crazy that you said the noise cancellation is better than the XM4/5 and AP Max because they are NOT.
Out of the 4 the AirPod max and then xm4s have the best noise cancellation and the AP Max have the best transparency mode. They audio quality is fine and even better when you use Spatial Audio through Apple Music. There is plenty of instrument separation and I never turn my volume up above 70% due to the ANC. maybe you’re starting to have hearing problems or something.
Pointing out the noise the plastic make is very nit-picky. Why even pay attention to that when you’re using them to listen to the audio quality coming from the cans and not the build material that hold it together? The band is metal and they fold which means they’re easy pack and won’t easily break.
I personally only have an iPhone and Apple Watch so all of the Apple multi connect features don’t matter to me as to most people but the fact that the seamlessly connect to my iPhone is a huge plus. And again, pair that with being an Apple Music User having Spatial Audio and lossless quality music through the app is a huge plus for both wired and wireless respectively.
This review was more complaining about things you don’t like rather than giving an unbiased review.
Edit: No idea why your ears are itching either. I’ve been wearing them consistently for almost a year and not once can I say my ears have ever itched.
Quinn: “Guys I personally think this is bad because of these reasons”
This comment: “He just dislikes the beats because he didn’t consider my specific use case”
And Instrument seperation? Nah you’re lying to yourself. Need to go to a hifi headphone store and ask someone what that sounds like
Had them for a week. I agree in every point with Quinn. I may add the following complaints: the ear-cups pressed in a bizarre way into my jaw-bone under my ear after one hour (also mentioned by macaddress) and their rattling build-quality was a real problem on the plane. I tried to sleep and so I leant my head against the side wall and the slight vibrations of the plane got amplified as hell. never had such a problem with my Bose QC35. Unusable!
The only guy I trust with apple products reviews.
Bro says it like it is, not like all the other fanboys.
God bless you sir.
edit: stay snazzy.
Brand loyalty is quite common these days in reviewers. Not just with Apple, but pretty much any brand. Rarer to find people who speak the truth.
My Hot Take: The modus operandi of Western tech companies is to make their budget products deliberately worse, so they don't compete with their own premium products. And that's why they're losing to Chinese manufacturers, who just pack in as much functionality as possible (albeit sometimes too much).
Yeah, except this is every company in the world - car companies sell lesser cars or have entire lesser brands. Clothes companies have cheaper brands. Shoe companies. Kitchen appliance companies. This isn't limited to tech, and I am not sure what Chinese companies you are referring to that tech companies are losing to.
@@3serioussSamsung, Apple both has lost tons of share in China due to budget-friendly mobile devices with good specs. To be updated with sources
@@3seriouss Sure, all companies make cheaper versions of their products with fewer features and cheaper components. But increasingly I'm convinced that brands are deliberately engineering their cheaper products to make them worse.
I felt like this when HDTV came out. Yeah maybe we've gotten used to it so much that SD looks horrendous now, but I swear they've pulled bandwidth from SD, making it look terrible, so they can save Bandwidth making the HD look good
Wow. Thanks Quinn for doing this review. How did SO many “reviewers” miss all these bad things about this product. Keep up the good work !
Because they're too scared to be honest. Apple has been known to blacklist outlets for criticizing they're products
I received a pair of Beats Solo 3 a few years back, and I’ll just say that this informative review describes an experience very much like the one I had with the Solo W for 1yr until the ear-cup lining all disintegrated and completely fell off.
And, although deeply annoyed by the clear push to upgrade by the headache-inducing ear-cups being non replaceable, & despite the rest of the cans still being functional, I would never want to replace the ear-cups for my ears to once again be greeted by such terrible sounding headphones.
Needless to say, I didn’t upgrade to another pair of Beats. Well, I don’t think anyone really does, even if they purchase another pair. Rather, they continue the experience, and who would purposefully and intentionally do that to themselves?
I purchased these and returned them 20 minutes after I left the store. The old beats were WAY louder, I think apple cut back on the production on purpose. These were essentially oversized regular airpods (in regard to sound quality)
doing the same today… bought them on Black Friday 2 days later Im returning them no Bass and sound quality is bad .. my 70 quid headphones were better
More headphones and audio reviews in generally please. Would love to get your thoughts on Sonos for home theatre and maybe other good options
you can replace the ear pads tho
I sold beats for years in the airport when they first came out… pre apple. It’s always been crappy. Lol. I’ll never forget unboxing for a customer and the ear cup fell off coming out of the package.
I just bought the Studio Pro’s yesterday and I am returning them the day after because they aren’t what I expected. I thought they would sound better than the TOZO HT2 headphones I already own , but to my surprise they don’t🤨…$33 TOZO headphones for the win🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I returned the predecessor the same day I bought it. I don’t expect the new model will get any better.
How did Phillips get the 50 dollar shp9500 so right?
I don't know what beats studio pro you bought, bruuhh, but mine are amazing❤
Thx for this honest review.🙏🏻
for 160$ would they be worth it?
I assume they need to be on whenever the 3.5mm is in because they may do some active EQing to make it sound better than it is.
a sneaky way to make the audio better for cheap.
$249 is astronomically too expensive for headphones like the beats since you can get earbuds for $20-30 that have a really close Harman target.
You're correct, but Psychoacoustics (the thing youre referring to with the EQ while powered on) is common in almost every single wireless headphone at this point, especially Apple's Airpods Pro and the like. It isnt nessecarily a bad thing, it just turns out you can skimp a lot on driver development by tuning the signal perfectly enough to get the same effect.
@@kaijuchomps4411 I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just sneaky they would do it even when the 3.5 is connected
Hmm I just checked the price on the website and they are 349 usd.
That frequency response... Holy moly. That's not just the sub-bass. That's a lot of mid-bass as well. That's a lot of bloat. Also, what is with the treble? There's the pinna gain rise which is expected, but then there's a small dip and a near equal rise again? Also, what's with the mids having that sharp dip for no reason? So it's basically for people whose hearing is restricted to like 400Hz and 4KHz instead of the usual 20 to 20k.
Edit: THEY'RE $350 BUCKS? MOTHERFUCKER. FOR WHAT?
the beats actually look the best imo, are more comfy than all the others ive tried (xm5,jbl tour one, sennheizer accentum) and even tho they lack bass, u can add bass in the Spotify EQ and then they will sound really bassy while still being crisp and clear
I like them…I think they sound nice and are comfortable…
I'm curious, at what price point would you say that these headphones would be worth the money?
Objectively, these headphones are built like shit and that alone isnt worth its price for me. But i feel like some of the complaints past that are more of a nothingburger, such as:
1) The controls, It's better than touch controls in my opinion and the playback controls mimic of remote talk cable like you would see on earphones and headphone cables. Yes, it feels like shit pressing it, but that's more of a complaint on its crappy 10-year-old build design instead.
2) using the 3.5 mm is scientifically, not lossless. All of these active powered headphones are playing around with the digital signal, therefore 99% of them are going to be converting them back to digital first and then processing. Even Apple doesn't bullshit that with their own headphones, as shown in the Apple music lossless help page.
3) It's tuning is a massive improvement over the bloody mess that was beats pre 2019. It's sub bass boost is not much different compared to the bloated garbage crap that is Sony's, the slight bass boost that is bose, or to mess that is the momentum 4s. Now technicalities, these headphones are mid and you'd be much better off buying some cheaper noise canceling headphones along with something else that would actually sound good for private chambers.
3) gimmcks like find my are useless if you know how to keep your headphones. Plus apples methods of find my are useless if you don't have an iPhone, as well as most headphones with a find my like feature are just as limited.
4) I agree that these headphones are hardly "over ear" headphones, but comfort is subjective and you're definitely some people that would find these very very comfortable compared to the overly spacious feeling that other over-ear headphones from their perspective.
In my opinion, if you bought these headphones, you didn't make the worst purchase. Compared to the competition, the only thing it really lacks is just build quality.
This really only caught my eye because of the mocha brown color, as it’s one of my most favorite colors, but it sucks it’s not a good product ☹️
For full retail price no I wouldn’t get them. I only got them because I do like them and they were only $169 on Black Friday.
As a designer, Beats headphone design was and will always be...wah! Not good!
This video is incredible. Thank you Quinn for really working hard on this review.
Why didnt you mention the momentum 4s have tile support
I am sooo glad you got that review out. I am yet to go buy any new Bluetooth headphones as they are costly. I want some decent headphones that I can rely on when not being used in Bluetooth mode and sound just as good via a 3.5mm connection even after the battery has completely died in several years. I won’t buy Bluetooth headphones knowing they become useless when the battery is dead in a few years and becomes e-waste
I got the Solo Pro around the time they got discounted (which wasn't that much time after they released) and it was miles improved from the previous solo lines of both Apple and especially Monster so I thought the Studio would follow but to my suprise, the Solo Pro got discontinued a year or so after its release and we get this thing.
Maybe it was a cost cutting tactic for Apple since the Solo Pro was actually pretty well built and a noticeable upgrade from its predessor, unlike what we have right here. As far as I remember, the Solo Pro, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Flex, and Beats Studio Buds were the only ones that got decent and favorable reviews from people like MKBHD, UrAvgConsumer, CNET, and even audiophiles like JimsReviewRoom.
Sad to see Apple take one step back with this one.
Another pair of headphones I would recommend over these are the Sennheiser PXC 550 2s. Unfortunately, more recently Sennheiser has picked up the very bad habit of discontinuing all their good products. So availability on these will become limited in the near future.
I liked the last version and could still find them on sale at Walmart. My previous pair started to fall apart after a few years. I bought the new ones and returned them when the sound was too low but now realized maybe I shoulda realized one of the cups had the volume buttons built in.
Thank you for mentioning the build quality. I used to own beats and they fell apart after no time
Spot on review! I got these Beats headset free with my purchase of a new 2021 iMac (student discount). I’ve wondered how the reviews on Apple and Amazon were way off on this Beats headset. Quinn sums it all up perfectly. Now my Beats headset plastic is cracked by the adjustment right ear cup and is unserviceable due to Apple warranty expired. I find it unacceptable to sell these over $99
Picked these up for $197 brand new at Target. I think at that price it’s pretty good, I’ll see how much I like them in the next week walking around my university!
Why do they make the ear cups too small for most people? They need to be a little bit taller and wider on the interior.
Thank god for this review. My store got a demo unit of these headphones at launch and for the past month I've been wondering if I'm crazy since to me they felt like cheap junk while all of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive
At 7:15 I was expecting to see a cat walk into the shot to investigate the headphones, now that something new was on the floor. 😄
Glad I seen this. I was going to go buy them today on sale for 179.99, but now I know why they are such a deep discount so early. I will stick with Studio 3 and wait for the new AirPods Max.
@MrSpiritstealer you sound like a follower. Try them yourself first before being a sheep
@@motalkbadazsexactly what I’m thinking
I may or may not trade my 1st gen AirPods Max's in for the 2nd gen one. Depends on if they're worth it or not. I've had the 1st gens since Black Friday 2022, so 1 year. They're pretty good.
3:21 they're probably using lossless the same way they did when first removing the headphone jack, spinning having to use lightning as a positive because the signal is digital and thus avoids the (miniscule) losses incurred with analogue audio cables
There is some merit to that, but *only* if the dac on the other end of that signal is at least on par with the one in your phone.
If it isn't, it's quite a bit worse/more lossy
I am curious how you and Marques Brownlee have such different opinions. I usually kind of trust him for headphone reviews and he seemed to think they are comfortable and sound fine. Maybe he never even used them and was in such a rush to put out a video but it does seem odd. Anyway this is a great review, it's so thorough and nice to hear other products mentioned, more than just in passing.
Marques is a great reviewer but we frequently disagree on audio stuff.
Marques was way too easy on such mediocre headphones for so much money.
The case sucks .
The volume is lower than the original Studio 3.
The bass is lower than the original Studio 3.
Overall the Studio pro is a cheaper made product that are a disappointment. Save your money or buy some V Moda's .
$169 right now on Amazon, now that’s more of a fair price for these.
169 everywhere
Yep
I was really pleased to hear you commenting of the heat inside the ear cups. I’d be interested to know what you think is the best is for comfort in terms of temperature.
I recently sold my AirPods Max because of this. After 30-60 minutes my ears were red hot and uncomfortable. That’s not to mention the skin irritation I had to the ear cup fabric. Washing the ear cups with water did resolve the skin irritation.
At the moment I’m using a family members QC45’s when they’re aren’t travelling. They’re decent, still quite hot and warm after 1-2 hours.
They're 100% worth $180, which is what they still are. At $350, they're a scam. 😅😅
You always have such a fair view on your reviews. I thought I was crazy when everyone was praising these headphones when some glaring issues were apparent when they first released
I was already sceptical when I read some of the praising reviews and was very curious about your opinion on the headphones. The squeaking and creaking of the headphones would drive me crazy. I would love to see more audio centric reviews by you!
He exaggerated. I have a pair, they’re my daily headphones. There isn’t any constant creaking unless you are trying break them.
Yeaahhhhhhh. Finally a video from quinn.❤❤
I don't know, might just be me, but I think Quinn doesn't like them much.
DMS was critical of these too. Thank god for tech reviewers who actually listen to audio products.
apple REALLLYYYY wants to drop off Beats by Dre cause of their own inhouse equipment but cannot due to their 20 year contract. OHH APPLE WHYY
They were $180 last week. Are they good for $180? They feel cheaply made for original price. But I haven’t heard how they sound and ANC.
FINALLY, someone who actually knows this crap and talks about it without holding anything important back, well done Quinn :D
I haven’t really seen any other reviews that have mentioned that the creeking. I wasn’t gonna buy them, but you mentioning it really made me never want to buy them.
To expand aswell, I bought the praised Sony Linkbuds S, and I’ve never been more dissapointed, they were good in some ways, they ended up having an issue where I coulden’t walk with ANC or transparancy on.
i have the soundcore Q30s, best bluetooth headphones i've had until now, earpads are replaceable and i think they can smash this new kids toy apple released
Is that a rolex gmt master in two tone ?
havent heard them, but I have two of the previous studios, QC35ii, Sony XM1kv3, and Pods Pro Max...the Beats studios are the best I have for exercise...by a mile. Audio signature I like my AirPodsMax, but nowhere near my Shiit stack and Sennheiser 660s
The sennheisers will go down in history as one of the all time best value headphones, they’re pretty impossible to beat at the price point.
Finally a real review on these thanks for the honesty 👍
You can buy the Sennheiser and strap an AirTag to it for less money and better features 😂
I’m confused, are you from a different universe? Only a small amount of your points hold any value at all. You’re plain wrong about the multi-point bluetooth support. Then your complaints about the build quality are mind boggling, even my by now ancient Studio 2 Wireless put anything Sony has ever built to shame in terms of build quality, even after years of intensive use they only needed a pad replacement once which was more than easy enough. Just peel the old ones off and stick some new ones on. My Solo Pro’s which I’ve used extensively show no signs of cracking or worn out earpads, my girlfriend claimed them and so I’ve got a pair of these Studio Pro’s now. Oh and I did try a pair of Sony XM3’s before I bought my Solo Pro’s a few years ago, I was immediately shocked by how extremely poorly they were built. Creaky, fragile, uncomfortable, and not to mention that the sound quality that everyone told me was very good was just utter garbage! And even now, I went to my local Mediamarkt and tried out both the XM4’s and XM5’s and they’re still shockingly bad.
Then there’s a bit of preference for the optical ear sensors, I never use those on any device (like my Airpods Pro 2 which I love but unfortunately can’t wear that often because my ear canals get itchy after wearing any in-ears for longer than an hour or so), they only get in the way.
Not to mention that for some reason you still think the Beats sound is “typical” yet it has absolutely no resemblance to how the notorious Beats sound was pre-Apple. If anything, that’s how Sony headphones sound nowadays.
This is sorta like reviewing a SEAT and then claim Bentley built the worst car ever...?
Any recommendations? I was going to get these but this made me not want to. I have big ears and a lot of times headphones hurt them.
I’ve never understood the Beats fans, to me they’ve always been dreadful, but then I think the people buying them have no idea bout what good audio is.
I studied sound, I know good audio. These Beats headphones, are better than this review and the comments perceive them to be.
@@adamburke4738 to me they sounded utterly dreadful compared to any headphone I own. I have the Sony XM3s which comfortably beat them all round at lower price with a similar feature set, and my hifiman sundara and Shure SRH1540s just blow them out the water from an SQ standpoint, there’s literally no comparison.
Well if people buy headphones/earphones because of audio quality, then how did the Airpods lineup became the best selling headphones in the world?
@victuringan1429 because as I said, most people don't understand good sound. They're streaming off Spotify thinking it's good quality, not realising that they're getting a fraction of the frequency range let alone resolution and dynamics.
I honestly watched a couple reviews for these beats and ALL have praised these headphones.
I honestly think these headphones are the exact same ones from 2017 but with a few upgrades
Nobody that career about sound quality praised beats.
For $350 the beats are ehh. But I got mine for 180 because of Black Friday discount and that makes them extremely worth. I just feel like the “honesty” is a bit overkill in this video. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but in this video there’s just excessive downplaying on the studio pros. There are ALWAYS cons for everything in this world but when something has cons it typically also has pros, so to see this guy and everyone else in these comments trashing it like it’s some sort of $5 pair of headphones is kinda OD. For the people that haven’t tried them, y’all definitely don’t have an opinion on the matter lmao, y’all just bandwagons and that’s the truth. However, for those that have used this product long enough to have a valid opinion, then at least be honest enough to accept that there are pros in this product.
I had these for about a week paid 180 also on discount took them back and got the sony xm5 earbuds and don’t regret it one bit they are miles better in my opinion but to each their own
@@Diz_Dude Haven’t had a problem with mine one bit. Use them for the gym everyday and they still holding it down
@@Badgerpazz nice like i said to each there own as long as your happy then all good in my opinion in having used both the sony sound much better and louder
I never got the buzz around beats anyway. I hat wireless earplugs and I hated them.
This is a much really believable review and I think the harshest review I've ever seen you give anything. I mean, sure, Apple is going to blacklist the shit out of you for it, but we appreciate the honesty. 🙂
5:20 "Their absence is a pain, when you pine to prattle in a pinch" Utter brilliance 🤣
