  • @GMinor315
    @GMinor315 Год назад +16

    I have both. Actually all 3. (Studi buds, AirPod pro 2 and the studio bud plus) and I can say the difference is the Noise cancellation. Air pod pro 2 noise cancellation is unmatched

    Just bought these a few days ago - transparent of course! - and they are wonderful! I was a bit leary at first, as I've gone through wired and other wireless buds, and most of them were awful. Right out of the gate these sound superb, clear and crisp with the right amount of highs & lows. I don't like heavy mid-range, and the Studio Buds + have it at the right level. Noise cancelling is amazing, though the transparency mode is something I'll have to get used to. Main reason why I picked these over AirPods Pro is that I have an Android phone still, and it works flawlessly and painlessly with both my phone and Apple devices. I've seen lots of complaining about lack of wireless charging and the fact that they don't pause the music when you take them out of your ears. Honestly do not care about wireless charging (there's still a wire somewhere!) and just press the bud to pause the music if you need to take them out! Glad you didn't touch on that - non-issues really. Hope you enjoy them!

    I will give you this. A lot of people these days are all of a sudden acting like they are audiophiles😂. Most people 5-6 years ago were good with the cheap headphones that came with their phone. For most people, the only thing they really care about with these wireless earbuds are battery life and call quality.

    I've loved transparent electronics ever since I had a purple see through gameboy in my youth. I think clear is even better than coloured transparent because I believe it might make it all even more visible. I wish more company would give us the clear option and not just for headphones but everything. Hopefully, these do well in terms of sales and Apple takes the hint. Enjoy !

    I have my AirPods Pro 2, but I still want to get these beats buds! However I still have the Powerbeats pro and even tho they don’t have Atmos, transparency or noice cancellation. But for what I use them for there is no issue! So unless my AirPods Pro 2 get lost or break I don’t see me getting these beats buds! Thanks for the video, amazing insight as always! Saludos amigo!

    If you’re in the US, Airpods Pro 2 are $199.99 in Walmart, Verizon and etc. I asked Best Buy to price match Walmart, and they did. So it was only $216 after taxes. The Beats buds are still a great option though.

    I've been joking (mostly) for the past few months that if my AirPods Pro 2 (and iPhone) don't stop sending me notifications that my own AirPods were detected following me, that I was throwing them away and buying beats. Although it sounds like these do have 'find my', so could develop the same bug that the AirPods have, fingers crossed the next AirPods firmware update in beta fixes the issue, else I actually will give up on the AirPods and try these beats.

    spoiler alert!! they are NOT on the same level as the AirPods Pro 2 . not bad but inferior sound quality. no spatial audio, no automatic switching between apple devices, they don't pause media when you take them off your ears , much weaker ANC, transparency mode and in my opinion not as comfortable to wear them for a long time like the AirPods Pro are. thats why they are cheaper.
