Beats Studio Pro VS AirPods Max - DON'T BE FOOLED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- When it comes to wireless headphones, the AirPods Max are expensive but one of the best pairs of headphones you could have for your Apple devices, and they have been really popular for a good reason they sound good, have amazing build quality, and connect easily to all of your Apple products - however they have some weak points that seems to be solved by a new pair of headphones - the Beats Studio Pro. Which not only come with the same noise cancelation and transparency mode features as the AirPods Max, but also have exclusive features like USB-C lossless audio, a headphone jack, and longer battery life at a $200 cheaper price point than AirPods Max... which may have you thinking that AirPods Max have no reason to exist... but is that true?

LOL, Apple products battling Apple products, one is gym-preferred than the other, and you don't have to worry about getting jacked for your high end investment. 😂😂😂
The beats ear cups are removable, they’re glued on and cheap to replace
Amazon has too good of a deal for the beats 180, none of the bad things you say justify nearly 400 dollar difference now
Yes I got them for 180 ; I’m very happy
They never should have launched for more than $250.
He just flexing his pro maxes he doesn’t even care about the studio pros.
Fr I’m halfway through the video and so far his biggest complaint is that they creek.
150 at target with their 50% and extra 10% off coupon
I hardly think being noisy while pressing the button or handling the headphone itself is enough reason to spend an additional $200 for an already ridiculously overpriced headphone.
You didn’t really tell us why the max is better other than build quality and the Digital Crown. Sound quality was really glossed over and is by far the most important thing when reviewing headphones.
It really isn't. Most people can't even tell the difference between good sound quality and bad sound quality. The experience of using the headphones is more important overall, as long as the sound quality is at least in the same ballpark.
@@halkon4412 at this price...you better be paying attention to sound quality. Especially when audiophile headphones exist at $150-200 (Sennheiser HD 598 etc)
@@halkon4412 Just say you're a normie that cares more about bragging these overpriced headphones than actually caring about the listening experience. There's a huge field of dynamics in the perception of sound in the first place, it's not just one simple thing. A lot of buyers actually believe they're getting premium sound out of these.
@@campingwithale "actually caring about the listening experience"
I do, that's why I value convenience/ecosystem features so highly. They bring a more substantive improvement to the listening experience for the average buyer than super-high-end sound quality does.
"A lot of buyers actually believe they're getting premium sound out of these"
That means they're doing their job.
I don't know that was way too onesided tbh..
It was like he had a conclusion in mind already and drove all the arguments towards it
I haven't tried the Studio Pros, but I did compare the Apple AirPods Max with the Sony WH-1000XM4, and I ended up returning the Apple ones. I just couldn't justify the price it's almost double, but the sound quality doesn't warrant the extra cost. I use Apple devices, but the lack of EQ control on the AirPods Max was disappointing. Sorry, Greg, but a double price doesn't mean twice the audio quality.
I haven’t tried the new studio pros but the auto switching is definitely on the old solo pros from like 4yrs ago. Mine switch between my iPhone and iPad flawlessly.
There is a 400$ difference, how can they be comparable
I have tried the beats studio pro ! And guess what! The noise cancellation is awful! You need to maximize the volume to isolate yourself from the surrounding noise specially if you are planning to use them in the gym ! I don’t recommend it!
Beat’s brand has a separate fan base… 90% of them would still pick beats over max
Please enlighten us with what "fan base" you are talking about...
@@jamesberryman9893literally anything and everything has a fan base….
@@jamesberryman9893 the hip hop fans who want a new pair of headphones at a cheaper price and better quality of bass but the max has a more premium price so if you’re not strapped for money just go for beats
@@jamesberryman9893the people who own some apple devices but are not fully engrossed in the ecosystem? If you have an iPad and android phone why get airpods that only work with apple devices when you an get beats that have the same chip as the airpods AND retain full functionality with non-apple devices?
@trade21 Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification! I do have an iPad and an android phone but typically only use ipods with my devices as they are much better. I'm actually thinking going with the newer Sony headphones.
I have the Beats Studio Pro and don't hear any cracking sounds....maybe I got a defective one.
😂😂😂😂😂 i love you
I think Apple is making this intentionally to Beats, like no wireless charging in beats fit pro & studio buds, no proximity sensor in Beats Studio Pro in 2023, so beats will never be better than Airpods as a whole package 🤷🏻♂️
Creaky noises?? Ugh seriously dude,
I’ve had both. I really liked the APMax, but they were just too heavy and squeezed my head too much. The fatigue effect was much worse on those. I ended up selling mine back.. The Beats 40 hour capacity, god forbid you have to take them on a trip with you, the APMx are so gross, they just take too much room.
Beats are definitely a better buy. The Quality is actually pretty good. It’s surprisingly good.
Just picked up the beats series pro's from best buy on a black friday sale for $169 dollars. Great deal for a great set of headphones for the gym.
Is the sound loud and good? I’m debating on getting them since they’re on sale
@@aespaontoppp yeah their a little too loud for me at max volume though. Good deep sound signature once i adjusted the sound output EQ in my phone's settings app.
@@aespaontopppI got them for 136
I’m just waiting for the air pods max 2, I’m hoping for more colours the new chip that’s in the pro 2 and maybe a bit cheaper
Yeah I feel like they’re going to be announced next month if iPhone is switching to USB-C
@@GregsGadgets if it’s not delayed lmao, maybe they will announce the m3 macs and just upgrade all of the standard m3 macs at once
I'm hoping for a more subdued look, they are too 'look at my expensive Apple device' for me.
Doubt they’ll be cheaper maybe hope they make 2 models one flagship and 1 cheaper than the other
But when will they be released?? 2024 is the more than likely release date for the e
Air Pod Max 2!
Thank you for the underrated “how things feel” portion of the review. Good stuff.
I love my AirPods Max. I wished I got it earlier as I was skeptical with apple gadget but man they are great !! I will buy them again if they released AirPods Max v2. I don’t think it’s overpriced but it’s not cheap.
I was waiting for the second gen do you think it is worth or not?
@@beb7612 I think it should be release soon (usb C issue with the EU) so definitely worth the wait if you not in hurry. I guess probably within 6months.
Those are old now! I’ll just wait and until the Max 2 upgrade is released and get the discounted Beats!
I liked my air pods max until they broke and apple wasnt able to fix em after three repairs.
Also I like that the beats are android compatible since I recently got the z flip 5. Both good but I will go with beats in the future :)
Omg we're exactly the same. I bought the airpods max on Day 1 and broke (disconnects when moving/fixing the headphones on my head) after like a month and I'm the most careful when it comes to my gadgets. Apple tried to repair it but after a week the problem went back. Now I have switched from iPhone to Moto Razr Plus.
@@erborianrn4599 I'm surprised that both of yours broke. Mine have been going strong since November of 2021 and I've been having 0 issues with them. However, I might just be lucky. I have the studio 3's as well and I love them, so I think y'all will be satisfied with the studio pros :) I think they're more durable than the AirPods Max, but I find my AirPods Max to by more comfortable but not by too much.
I’m so disappointed with them. One earcup will disconnect, then the reboot CONSTANTLY
3 weeks and the first set lost the right ear. the 2nd set has lasted but... thats probably because I still use all the sony's that fall apart before they quit working.
Reviewer just get it all wrong, beats headphone have a specific market, they are better for workout and just over all jamming for music , easy fold and toss in bag.Not everyone listening to hear every dam note, could you imagine someone going to a concert and complaining the don't hear the symbols. I put my studio on crank the tune and start dancing...and if they fall off because my head bopping to hard, I don't have worry about them getting scratched..and they look pretty as hell..what I mean by wrong, these are not a replacement for the max, they are target to a different consumer who are not caring or have different needs, and dont care about the extra crap
Facts your right the hell if I’m wearing my max but the beats I can rock at the gym out door runs etc they really got it twisted. I have both I can confirm they came along way the sound signature is close to the max. Definitely better then the old beats and the bass sounds cleaner this time around.
Yeah he’s got no idea
I use my phone for volume and skipping songs etc. So cricks” are a non issue
Reviewer isn’t wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I actually owned these for a week but ultimately took them back for many of the same reasons mentioned in this review. If you love it then great! But missing the Apple specific features and lower build quality was enough for me to pass and wait on AirPods Max Gen 2
@@MrDexterSr when stated reviewers get wrong, Iam not stating they are wrong about headphones, but these are not target for most people who buy the max..beats always been about jamming to music, I cant image the football player wearing the studios complaining of such issues, the target customer for beats doesnt give a _hit..so that were they are wrong.
The Beats look like they have some good unique features, but the build quality, the ANC, and the transparent mode are behind the AirPods Max. For rivaling some very good cheaper wireless headphones I looked into the Sonys and B&W and all fall short in one or the other way, however, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 wireless nearly beats the Airpods Max in all categories for half the price. They have better build quality than the Beats or Sonys. They have longer Battery life with ANC (60 hours) easy usage, Easy on and off, Very good sound and ANC and transparent mode, good telephone/microphone quality, wind resistance (noise when having a call outside). They have all the cables to be used with 3.5mm USB-C. The only thing they lack is digital data over 48 KHz it seems that is possible with the Beats.
I just paid $160 for the studio pros for cyber Monday. Can't beat that.
Which headphones are the best for working out in the gym? That don't fall off and provide decent sound and are durable
I have mine Beats Solo since 2020 and they are faultless! Best for gym, and affordable.
Beats because the airpod max headphones are not sweat resistant
He said that in the video
I love the way my Airpods Max function except for one thing...they don't fit my head. I must remain still while using or they slide around on my head. If I lean forward, I have to hold the headband in place or they start to come off my head. So if the Beats can stay in place with moderate movement, they will replace my Airpods Max for most use. Give me the lightweight of the Beats Pro with the build of the Airpods ax and I am all in. Why the earpads are not replaceable on the Beats is just insane. If I had my druthers, I wish Apple would put their electronics in a Sennheiser HD600 or HD650.
Try Sony XM5s they are incredible and so lightweight
Which ones are louder ????
I got the Beats Studio 3 headphones. They work great. I could care less about the other crap that the Apple AirPods Max have. I did try the Apple AirPods Max. Don’t get me wrong, the work great. Practically the same shit as Beats Studio 3. No way would I pay $600 for the AirPod Maxs. But the Beats Studio 3’s for $200? I’ll take the Beats Studio 3’s any day. Not because I already have them. But because I’ve tried both.
My daughter bought the AirPod max’s and I told her she was wasting her money, you’d never hear the difference compared to my Beats Pro max. I was wrong. The sound quality difference is amazing. And I’d say yes, it does justify the price difference. That being said, I use mine working out; and don’t think I would use hers for that purpose.
I tried both and the MAX overall better when comes to sound and cancellation.
How much louder are the air pod max. Compared to the beats. I don’t think the studio 3 beats are very loud at all?
@@paulstammer4062yeah I just got a new one and it sounds pretty low unless our ears are destroyed
Personally think Sony makes the best valued headphones overall. Better features overall, friendly to Android users also, like Beats is. AirPods Max are Apple proprietary and extremely overpriced and terribly designed.
Not for apple users, they basically only have 70$ price difference on amazon, airpods max are better at everything compared to xm5 imo I’ve tried both of them, but xm5 has a sliiiightly better noise cancellation, otherwise the airpods max are truly unbeatable with headphones lower that it’s price
@@zheeribrahim7089there’s so many things that XM5s do better than AirPods Max. Like USB C, lightweight, touch controls, EQ on the app which can make them sound better than the Maxs .
@@YOUNGJBR I disagree and by a huge margin, the sound on AirPods Max are just very special in the sense that they’re smooth to hear, bass is very punchy, and the EQ us actively adaptive, also touch controls are far more inferior to the airpods max premium controls
The Sonys have a more studio sound then the maxs like if I’m mixing music I’d use the Sonys but I wouldn’t use Bluetooth to do that anyway
These were probably made to compete with the Sony XM4 headphones, the main competitor in that similar price point.
Yoooo I didn't know apple own beats shocking you learn something new everyday.
Prime deal at $180 for these Beats - how does that change the math on which one is better value?
Sounding like the best deal around
This has to be the most bipolar version of a review. Interesting method to take on, but the important factors that make decisions for viewers were not addressed. You're correct, you're not an audio file, you emphasized on minimal issues. And it was apparent you hadn't used Beats previously, the click might be noticeable for you- but the click is also nostalgic for old Beats users. I watched several reviews that supported beats and finished watching yours to hear the cons of the beats, but they were not good enough to hold up against the AirPods Max. Your stance was strangely unjustified.
I had beats headphone before it gave me terrible headache after a while.I was thinking about the airpod max the noise cancelling is awesome but I heard alot of people says the material is tiring and heavier
You're just paying for that logo when it comes to Beats. They're on sale right now for $180, which is a reasonable price for me. But $350??? Nah.
I would say you need to first identify what use your going to give to your headphones. If you are someone like me, busy and used them while you are cleaning coocking and exercising, i would go with the beats, they are kuch lighter and don’t fall out of your head which is my problem everytime i have to bend down and i’m sweating.. also if you are going to use them for music i would also pick the beats.. now if you are going to ise them to watch a serie or listen to podcasts while you are sitting down on chill mode then i would pick the apple one… i still miss the beats pro wireless which i would use before going to bed and whenever i felt sleepy, i would kust fold them throw them to the side of my bed and the next day i would unfold them and the would connect automatically to my phone or ipad…
side question what camera are you using for your solo shots? its so clear
I feel like at this point I would want to wait for the AirPod Max 2 ???
Well looks like there won’t be any new headphones anytime soon
Beats were always intended for audio engineers and producers so of course they’d come with a traditional headphone jack 👌🏾
Beats are in no way shape or form audiophile headphones, or are they equipped for audio engineering 😂
@@whyme3772 as an engineer who went to school and was assigned studio beats to use on projects I beg to differ 😂
@@VXLLLXare they worth getting for day to day production in fl on a macbook? with both wireless and wired?
@@stxrer sure, if you don’t mind the bulk
@@VXLLLX got them, love them, just wish they had usb c
Well it’s no doubt you’re a Apple Fanboy but you have to remember the beats are 200 bucks cheaper The important thing is the sound and the sound is comparable to the Apple headphones
Thank you! I was thinking about picking up the Airpods Max today and was wondering if I should still get them given their age. I'll pick them up!
Creaking is a dumb complaint ngl
let address the elephant in the room. when beats came out it target audience was the urban crowd, and the other 20% was the non-urban crowd who loved hardcore dance music. Apple knew Beats was going to be a tough competitor in the future so Apple did what Apple does got rid of the threat. I don't understand why these reviewers are bad mouthing Beats, when they know Apple is never going to bring out or design something new or spectacular for the Beat band. Apple is a company that doesn't like sharing the spot light. and nothing to pounder my spend $600 on the ugly head phone, when you can step to Bowers & Wilkins for a cheaper price.
Well freaking Said….
Thanks for the honest (and logical) review! I've seen so many clickbaits that claim Beats Studio Pros are the AirPods Max killers, and in those videos they explain AirPods Max are better at virtually anything, then somehow conclude the Beats are the way to go because they have a "functional case" and USB-C, which makes no sense. Apparently you sound smarter when you choose anything over AirPods Max.
Haha I watched the same reviews which is why i made this video.
Nah chill there not AirPod max killers but the sound is close to the AirPods Max 40 hours foldable transparency dolby and lossless audio. These hit better for outdoors and gym other reviewers are over hyping it but does not mean there completely wrong they do sound good clear you have to adjust the eq settings in Apple Music app to flat or late night to get more loudness and clarity.
The buttons aren’t even that bad. I prefer them actually. While i’m walking and i put my hood on while using a touch headphone, my music will sometimes either skip or stop playing. Never had that problem with buttons on my beats. I absolutely love the twist volume button on the max….. and the transparency mode 🤌🏼
one thing they both have in common is they are both extremely overpriced 😁
180 for beats is the best deal for any headphones
the studio pros just went on sale for prime day for 170 while the airpods max barely had a price cut for that day. the near 400 dollar price difference there is a no brainer
Do beats go on sale on Black Friday? I really like the deep brown, wish there was a Dune (Nude) color tho.
There were 250 on Amazon last week and still might be
Target has them right now for $250
I had not even thought about the clicking and cracking one would hear with buttons like those! AirPods Max for 30% off was too good to be true.
30% of Where?
@@KingEazy88 Ebay, sadly he didn;t realise they were called "airpod Mix" and were made of plastic.
Bang & Olufsen Headphones H95 = Sublime
Very helpful video! I was just torn between the two now you made my mind up! Apple it is ! Thank you
And you can’t even get a drop of sweat on the air pods max?!? Beats Studio are literally the exact same headphone but for £300 less
I like the video. I use my AirPods Pro when I cut the grass and keep some privacy from my wife watching her video’s. I just recently had been on vacation. While flying multiple times, I had seen passengers wearing different types of headphones and I would see some AirPods Max headphones. Since it is expected that Apple would be getting a new version of the Max out soon, I looked at Best Buy and was able to purchase a Certified Geek Squad Refurbished AirPods Max for $379. Got them in last Wednesday and they sound great and look great with no marks. Thanks for posting this video. It made me feel comfortable about my purchase.
I feel the audio in the AirPods Max is better, the noise canceling is also far superb compared to beats, if your not really into music on a different level (critical listening sessions etc) and are just want something that sounds good they you can with your everywhere then get the beats, Apple changed the game with the max’s though and if your can afford them then grab them
The two headphones are targeting at two totally different market.
Duh. The price difference is in 2 completely separate ranges.
I love the color of your contact lenses
The first beat studios I swore were with heavier material…I think the plastic is not bad weight wise, thank good I got A 2 yr warranty
AirPods Max have serious condensation and Bluetooth issues. They sound incredible - but make sure you get AppleCare+ because you’re going to need it.
Got a pair for 134 .00 off amazon
I have the AirPods Max and go the Beats today. As soon as I put them on I decided to return them. The ear cups are too small and my ears don't fit inside the cups. AirPods Max are the better headphone. The only advantage for the Beats is that they fold which is nice.
I couldn’t decide on what to go with i ended up buying the Beats Studio Pro also the Apple Air Pods Max both in black color
I bought a set of studio pro’s, sent them straight back, the amount of clamping force they had made them unbearable to wear after 15 minutes
Finally somebody with sense. Good video!
Buddy when are you going to take off the headphone cups
All I heard was that you don’t like the creakiness and the plasticky feel. Yeah no the $200-300 price difference on the AirPods Max still isn’t warranted. The fact that the beats are more portable, have usb-c charging, and almost rival the AirPods Max sounds quality it’s a big win.
The fact that you can even compare them at all with a $300 difference, I’d stick with less, broke, rich don’t matter.
The beats cushions can be changed. My bf sweats a lot from boxing and replaces them buying cushions and covers to make them last longer
Personally I’m scarred by beats I’ve gone through SO MANY of them since I was in high school cuz they kept breaking or just malfunctioning internally, I even won a pair from college and those didn’t last long at all and they were the latest ones at the time. I even have the studios now and honestly I’m disappointed with the sound and the left cup has been giving me trouble for a while. They may be expensive but at least with the metal build quality the max’s might last a while
Why would anyone be foolish enough to pay Apple $35 for a poor qualify lightning to 3.5mm cable when 3rd party versions are much more affordable.
the noise thing you said about the creaks is the most braty statement ive ever heard lol
I am seeing them for 179.99 good deal??
HUGE WARNING for those who are looking to buy AirPods Max and for those who already use them!!! These headphones are made with a MAJOR ISSUE which is CONDENSATION! Check out the comparison of Apple headphones and you will see that because of this MAJOR ISSUE Apple even started to specify the SWEAT PROTECTION (not even water protection) in the MOST EXPENSIVE headphones on the market! Which makes them the MOST UNRELIABLE headphones on the market. The mistake that Apple engineers made is the aluminum cups, which are causing condensation inside the ear cups.
I bought my AirPods Max a year ago and now they are DEAD! And if you didn't purchase the Apple Care, than be prepared that the repair cost is going to be almost equal to the price of the new one!
THIS IS A SHAME FOR APPLE!
I highly recommend to NOT BUY this headphones, and for those who already did that - SELL THEM as soon as possible!
End of the video is the best info ever! 😂😂😂
Just hear me out everyone it u want loud an something to melt ur hears the beats are the best way to go
trying so hard to find flaws 😭😂
Well i’m definitely trying to be a show off, but I just bought a pair of air pod max’s from my local pawn shop yesterday. They were priced at $335, but i’m very cool with the manager and workers there and walked away paying only $100 even. Talk about a holiday steal😬 They are in perfect condition and in my opinion even though I would’ve never paid $550 they are definitely worth that much.
They are both owned and produced by Apple 🍎 so either way they win.
I really don’t know who still needs a 3.5mm cable these days. I’ve not used one in almost 8 years
He’s not as weird as Reddit says seems normal
Best review ever! Keeo it going man!
Beats will break way too soon though.
which is why applecare+ exists.
I just got me the Beats Pro this Black Friday for $169. Can’t beat that plus I also have the AirPods Pro
Airpod max is good but they are so heavy. And since apple makes both i think they will always try and make airpod max better
Buy Once, Cry Once. Great review!
Ffxiv, here's my thumbs up.
Why Buy these Outdated Air Pod Max’s now! Just wait for the Max 2 to release and get the Beats Studio Pro for $400 cheaper and keep it moving!
I’m actually watching this out walking with Beats Studio Pros which will be easy to wipe down - I like them enough to own two pair
You do not want to use the Beats Studio Pro at the gym. Rather go for the Beats Fit Pro.
169 studio pros on amazon last week and $99 for beats 3 on amazon
I would love to hear what these beats sound like I haven’t used beats over ears since maybe 2015ish and they had a lot of bass and the beats fit pro I have actually sound better than my AirPods Pro’s at the moment
I got them and the sound quality is way better than AirPod max AND they’re more comfy
I tried the Beats, and the Transparency mode is so trash, compared to AirPods Pro Gen 1 and 2. It will make it hard to hear anything and everything.
The studio 3 beats are kinda shit. They are not loud enough! I remember headphone from my childhood that were louder then these. They are shit. Never tried the AirPod max. Can anybody confirm the max are way louder?
Your hearing is going down hill Paul 😂
It now costs $170 in Amazon. I just snatched one
That Apple AirPod is ugly tbh and not worth the money. If u want to choose the air max because the beats is “loud and creepy” is weird…. Btw u knw the beats sounds better fam stop lying lol but to each his own…. Y’all can attack me now🥱
I agree 😂
I feel that beats are 10 years behind
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your thoughts. Blessings on your day!
AirPods Max cost ZAR 13 399.00 (US$718), so for Bluetooth headphone with the limitations they have, they are a no go for me.
The differences are minuscule
Completely agree. Great review
Great video
I will never pick beats over any other headphone or earbuds.
It sounds like you have sensitive ears!
I have 2 pairs of the Apple AirPods Max… Take it from me, they are PHENOMENAL headphones! Just incredible sound and comfort…
