I’ve had studio 3’s for the past 4/5 years and I love them! These have come out just at the right time as I’ve been thinking of replacing them in the past few weeks as they’re showing a lot of wear and tear at this point! Your review has convinced me not to replace as such but to have them along side each other instead so I can switch between the 2 for the different voicing of eq!
You almost had me getting the Bose QC 45 but now I’m onto these. I hope a future comparison video doesn’t have me regretting. I was going to wait for APM 2 but these seem the most comparable. Thanks for such thorough reviews.
😂 @4:29. I just ordered the brown ones. I was going to wait for the AirPods Max 2, but who knows when they’re coming out. And I love the brown colorway so there! Thanks for the awesome review👏🏽
So glad you reviewed these! I really appreciate your testing methodology. Still curious about the spatial audio support. I'm seriously considering these to replace my Bose 700 headphones. Maybe, just maybe...
I'm curious whether the durability has improved for these headphones, compared to previous studio versions. I remember that the plastic had the tendency to crack or snap
The durability of the earcups on my old pair was not there. The first time, I figured it was because I was using them at the gym. The second time, I used them normally, and the cups still started peeling again. After the second time, I just bought some cheap replacement cups for a few bucks and they were as good as new. I’m hoping the durability is there with the new version!
My studio 3's are 3 years old and have been absolutely abused, rained on and sweated in profusely. Absolutely rock solid and only just starting to get earcup peel.
Yeah I think they solved the durability issues mostly when they introduced the studio3s. Had mine for years and they still look and sound as good as new.
Yesterday I received a pair of studio3’s from Amazon. They messed up delivery and I had to wait a week. In the meantime, after watching your vids on the Bose quiet comforts and where you compared the studio pros and Bose qc45’s, I was convinced I’d made a mistake. Needless to say I’ve just returned the studio3’s and ordered the studio pros. Can’t wait for them turning up tomorrow!
I went from Air Pods max to these. Comfort - AirPods Max are better. Beats are OK but fatigue could occur. The clamping needs some good loosening too, as it's strong. Doing the book trick to stretch them out helped a lot. Sound - Nothing much to separate them APM issue - when doing Spatial Audio there would ocassionally be a little bit of intermitency which would only go away when switching Spatial Audio off. This would happen on any device: iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. That issue has completely gone away with the Beats. Transparency mode - very little to pull them apart. Excellent vs excellent, but slightly less excellent in Beats. Price - Beats are much better value, specially with slightly better battery and USB-C DAC functionality. Features - APM switching automatucally between apple devices is good, until it got gungho about it sometimes. Sometimes it would stop pairing at all, and was a bit moody. Beats requires a manual switch, but it is very smooth and quick, with zero pairing problems across a large number of devices. Hope this helps someone. My conclusion is the Beats are better value and genuinely versatile.
Once again a great review Mark. I’ve had my Studio 3s since launch and was going to bite the bullet and get AirPods Max but now I think I’ve found my newest purchase…
I've purchased the Apple Air Pods Max. It's been sent in for repair for "damage ". It's only the water 💦 that accumulates behind the ear cushions after long listening periods. I'm completely done with Air Pods Max👎
@@papafuz01 3 years almost daily use and absolutely 0 water problems lol, been using them in cold and hot environments, I dunno how you sweat from your head into a headphone? :D :D :D this is complete bs
I have been using the beats solo 3 for a year now. I was worried about the bass when I bought them. But I was fascinated with how beats sound changed after Apple’s acquisition. I’m enjoying it.
Thanks for the reviews! Would like to hear your comments on these and Bose QC45 in term of ANC performance and easiness to carry in their size/case. thanks!
Purchased these Nov 2023 for the gym, biggest drawback is the constant plastic creaking when I barely move my head. I guess a $350 purchase price is the new $12. I was going to switch to the MX4s until I watched your review on them creaking as well.(I enjoy your reviews, just discovered your UA-cam page)
I want to thank you for your review on the Beats Studio Pro. Although, I have the Bose 700, I am amazed at the sound and ANC. I love them. I paid $250 for them on Amazon. Great sound! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
For all the users looking for that Lossless music feature keep in mind several things: 1-Bluetooth will not achieve lossless 2-Use the USB-C connection or the wired connection in order to achieve the Lossless feature I did notice when my pair would sync to my Mac, it would sometimes connect via Bluetooth and the USB cable. I would have to click on USB in order to have the Lossless feature enabled Also, if you activate the lossless feature via the USB-C or wired cable you cannot take advantage of the noice cancellation feature. So keep that in mind. By the way the Brown color is 🔥
I’d like to know how these match up against the Bose QC45. I’ve been trying to convince myself to buy a pair for a couple months now to replace my Sony XM3s and I think these might be a better option than the Bose from all the reviews I’ve seen.
I had my air pods max wich I sold and buy the Beats Studio pro instead ... wich I don't regread they are comfortable and sound better to me then the Max , and I had the Sony xm4 wich I sold and bought sennheiser momentum 4 instead and also there don't regret it ... .. could you please do a comparaison between sennheiser m4 and Beats Studio pro ?
Hello Mark! Interesting thoughts about the Beats Studio Pro. They seem to not be in Apple Store in Sweden yet but I guess they will come. How do they compare to the PX7S2 from Bowers & Wilkins? Blessings from a sunny Sweden.
How well does it react when switching from one device to another? Specifically Apple devices? The H1 in my Solo Pros is a huge deal breaker because of the auto device switching. And where can I cop that tee?? 🔥🙌🏽
There's no automatic device switching for Apple devices at the moment, but it might arrive in a future software update, according to Beats. As for the t-shirt, I'm afraid I genuinely can't remember where I got it from!
Ive been following the progress since they were announced! Other than the Apple device switching it seems they have all of the Airpods Max features but with the Beats sound, would that be fair to say…? Will probably hang fire for a firmware upgrade or two but fantastic video as always!
I totally agree with this review. I just bought these headphones and I honestly think they are a better choice than the new AirPod Max 2s. I got these Beats Studio Pros as reconditioned at almost half the list price, and they are in perfect condition. They are a fantastic value. They sound great. They look great. I’m thoroughly pleased.
Does anyone know how much these sell for. I have a pair brand new and sealed that I got as a Xmas gift and wondering how much I could sell them for. Since they are sealed in box the only info I have is what is written in box. They are black active noise cancelling Beats Studio 3. They are over the ear wireless Bluetooth with carrying case. Made for tv, iPhone and iPad Side of box says active noise canceling, ANC-off for low power mode, battery up to 22 hr with anc-off/40 anc-off Fast Fuel:10 min charge=3hrs play On ear control s for music &calls and built in microphones for voice. If anyone knows, thank you 💞
Was there any difference between audio via USB-C / AUX? I heard you could use Apple Music loseless mode if they were wired to USB-C I'd love to know if the mic was useable while it was wired too; my QC45's disable the mic if I plug in the aux cable which screwed me on a call before 🤣
Probably because AUX would require more conversions of the audio signal. AUX would require Digital to Analog through the DAC on the phone/dongle, then Analog to Digital in the headphones due to its built-in DAC, and then Digital to Analog again so it can be pushed through the speakers. With USB-C, it likely remains Digital as it goes over the wire until it’s converted into Analog through the headphone DAC.
I was excited back when Beats came on the market and I got the Beat Studio (so we are talking back in 2008 or 2009..?). It was nice but I had a major issue with the fact that anyone sitting/standing next to me could hear clearly all the music out even at low volume. I can imagin that this is not the case anymore , correct?
I tried these because I was bored from my AirPods Max. Loudness wise the AirPods Max were louder if you go into their settings / accessibility and turn on brightness to max. They were louder and sounded wayyyy clearer.
I'm confused by the USB-C lossless audio thing because does the 3.5mm headphone jack literally not do the same thing? OR is this just a flex of being able to listen to lossless audio at the same time as charging?
Nice review . Miss however the sound comparison (not nc just the real sound stage etc) between Beats and AirPods Max. For me the soundstage of AirPods Max is unbelievably better then the Sonys .
I had Beats Solo Pro and loved them so much, unfortunately they are worn out and makes a noise where I have to go and turn sound off to get rid of it they were sooo comfy, I just got studio pro and they are NOT comfortable at all, I don’t know why they got rid of Solo Pro with noise cancellation, will return these..I think because the on ear to me is more comfortable as opposed to the over ear is too big for my head.. compare to other beats on ear please
Would love to see a comparison with the Sennheiser Momentum 4 please chum. Nearly bought the Sennys today but now I’m stroking ones chin whilst narrowing ones eyes.
I recently just bought these headphones for $199.99 at Best Buy. I personally wouldn’t have purchased them unless they were a good deal. I’ve had them for a couple days now and I might exchange them for Sony Headphones.
I bought these recently and only lasted a day before I returned. For me, they were incredibly uncomfortable. I purchased them primary due to the audio over USB-C. I am now using the Sennheiser Momentum 4's and get that same audio over USB-C and WAY more comfort (for me).
great review thanks Mark, i'd like to hear your honest opinion if you compare this to KEF Mu7 which one would you go for? they are at similar price range.. im iphone user and currently own airpods pro 2 but not satisfied with volume level, and bass . clear godo balance sound but im looking something more dynamic and louder. thanks
Mark, you said the Studio Pros are "comfy" like the Studio3s were. I had a pair of Studio3s and couldn't wear them longer than 30-45 min without them hurting around my ears. Are the Pros the same shape and size as the Studio3s? I may just have too big of a head to enjoy the Beats line of headphones.
My question is is it too harsh with the highs? I’m sensitive to highs and some Sony headphones and earbuds are so sensitive they sound like nails on a chalkboard to me!
I would replace airpods max with this. One more thing that nobody including you has addressed yet, which is dolby atmos effect of this headphone with type c cable in entertainment mode that says through cable, it will also cover height channels of atmos. Please let us know it.
picked up a pair today for 200 quid sound much better than previous beats very balanced sound went to my go to test track by (James Blake limit to your love ) oh my gosh it sound awesome - much better fit than air max which have now just been sold which paid for these beats and some change let over - happy days
I'm a big fan of the features of the Airpods Max. They sound great, the ANC is solid, and I'm a big fan of spatial audio for movies and TV shows. They just are not that comfortable for me. The biggest issue is they are not comfortable laying down in bed when watching my iPad which is a huge chunk of my use case. So, I was very much hoping for headphones that matched the feature set, sounded as good and were comfortable. I'm not sure if these are that, but I'm interested.
Bose 700 and QC45’s and Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 since you already compared the Sony and AirPod Pros. I have the Bose 700 and love the sound but the portability isn’t as good as the 45’s but they don’t have the same sound quality. B&W have the sound but NC and weight let them down.
great video! I think that maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but I feel that it needs to be stated the price tag these headphones are sitting at other then for name/design for the price there is almost no reason to get these over the sony XM5's I own both and have done my share of testing the only reason I am keeping them and not returning is that in the gym they do seem to be louder i dont have to max out volume all the time and when I do im not left wanting more like I am from time to time on the Sony's but android support is not as good on the beats because the app is to bare bones
I tried the Beats Studio Pro and they are indeed very good. But, I like more the sound of the AirPods Max. I think this is pretty subjective thing. Now, for the price, I agree that you get a better deal overall buying the Beats.
Hey, Mark. I'd love to know if the Spatial Audio experience is exactly the same as the one in AirPods Max? I'm returning the AirPods Max because I find them uncomfortable but the one thing that really impressed me (apart from the infamous Transparency Mode) is Spatial Audio, which brings some songs with bright vocals to life like I've never heard before. It's seriously wild. So, I'd consider the Beats if the Spatial Audio is 1:1.
I also initially found the Max far too uncomfortable for use beyond 20 mins. I stumbled upon a reddit thread that illustrated stretching the AirPods max out. Really did wonders for me. I’d consider trying this before returning them.
Which headphones do you want me to compare the Beats Studio Pro against?
Airpods Max, Airpods Pro 2 and Sony wh-1000xm4 plis!
Soundcore space q45
@aadilbey4185John Lewis sell xm4 in store for £208. Can’t beat that. Pun intended.
What is the ipx rating?
Please pretty please vs the xm4s
The USB-C audio makes it extra interesting for me. I love that you can just plug into something and get the best quality audio and latency.
I wanna try this for gaming
Want additional codecs via Bluetooth.

Now that is 2024 and with the “new” AirPods Max out, would be nice to see what do you think of Beats Studio Pro after one year.

If only they came out with a transparent version similar to Buds+. That wouldve been lit.

Is it normal for the earmuffs to wrinkle? Can it be replaced?

Hi. Excellent review of the new Beats Studio Pro.
I would love to see you compare the

Thank you, Jack
How do they compare to Bose 700?
How do the Beats Studio Pro compare to the Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2?
B&w is more better than any of beats or other apple devices.
Do you have your test tracks in a Spotify or Apple Music playlist?

I’m gunna get a pair but still unable to order them 😢.. strange but it is what it is . Another great review 👌🏻
I have big ears will they fit? I am not able to find the ear pads inner measures, does anyone have them?
Hey Mark, great video thanks. Could you compate them with the Bose 700 if you have them in your collection? Cheers!
How about proximity sensor and stopping the music after taking off the headphones?
They are missing that feature, which seems like a miss, its not a huge deal but it would have been a nice to have.
Waiting for the deep brown to drop its price here in Ireland
If I have the Beats Studio , is it worth the upgrade to these new Beats Studio Pro?
Can you plug the beats to your iphone using your lightning cable?
You can buy the lightning to headphone Jack, not sure the price of them now think I paid £8 years back
What’s better between these and the solo pro?
What Bluetooth codec does it use paired with Android?
Would love to see a comparison with the Sennheiser Momentum 4 please chum. Nearly bought the Sennys today but now I’m stroking ones chin whilst narrowing ones eyes.
get both. they are both very different and for different uses
Do these support apples audio sharing?

No Apple Chip inside, so no features like Audio Sharing, etc..
@@canturkcivelek4896 I’m not too familiar with that feature. No autosense is annoying though.
Does t spatial audio in movies works only on Apple TV? Or the other streaming streaming services have it too
@@millel1986 Its dependent on device. So if using it with an Apple TV, iPhone or iPad then it will work for everything you watch.

I’m tempted, but I’m unsure.
Bose 700 and QC45’s and Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 since you already compared the Sony and AirPod Pros. I have the Bose 700 and love the sound but the portability isn’t as good as the 45’s but they don’t have the same sound quality. B&W have the sound but NC and weight let them down.
great video! I think that maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but I feel that it needs to be stated the price tag these headphones are sitting at other then for name/design for the price there is almost no reason to get these over the sony XM5's I own both and have done my share of testing the only reason I am keeping them and not returning is that in the gym they do seem to be louder i dont have to max out volume all the time and when I do im not left wanting more like I am from time to time on the Sony's but android support is not as good on the beats because the app is to bare bones
I tried the Beats Studio Pro and they are indeed very good. But, I like more the sound of the AirPods Max. I think this is pretty subjective thing. Now, for the price, I agree that you get a better deal overall buying the Beats.
Would you buy the Beats Studio pro or the AirPods Max and why?
What would you choose these or the senhiser moment 4?. Can't make my mind up. Thanks appreciate it 🙏 great review
These 👍
Hey, Mark. I'd love to know if the Spatial Audio experience is exactly the same as the one in AirPods Max? I'm returning the AirPods Max because I find them uncomfortable but the one thing that really impressed me (apart from the infamous Transparency Mode) is Spatial Audio, which brings some songs with bright vocals to life like I've never heard before. It's seriously wild. So, I'd consider the Beats if the Spatial Audio is 1:1.
I also initially found the Max far too uncomfortable for use beyond 20 mins. I stumbled upon a reddit thread that illustrated stretching the AirPods max out. Really did wonders for me. I’d consider trying this before returning them.
@@theaveragezonetwork Well, good for you. It makes zero sense but OK. :D
@@mole1596 not sure what didn’t make sense or why you felt the need to be rude. Take care
