Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Pro Wireless Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

I spent a fair amount of time looking for over-ear headphones before buying these. I wanted good sound and noise cancellation, but one thing that mattered more to me than I expected was being able to fold them up. I wanted something I could use at home and take to the gym or on a plane, so portability was a big part of the decision. Price was the other factor. Some of the headphones I was considering were around $400, and I wasn’t particularly excited about spending that much. At the sale price I paid for the Studio Pros, I feel like I got a lot for my money. I’ve used them at home, at the gym, and on planes, and they’ve worked well across all three. The sound is good, the noise cancellation does what I need it to, and the connection has been reliable. I haven’t had problems with dropped audio, which is one of those things you really appreciate when you just want to put your headphones on and listen. I also use in-ear earbuds and rotate between the two depending on what I feel like wearing. These have earned a regular place in that rotation. I’ve tried quite a few headphones over the years, and I’ve been happy with how these fit into my everyday use. My one caveat is comfort. The original ear pads were slightly uncomfortable for me, so I replaced them with WC Freeze pads. That improved the comfort, and with those replacement pads I can wear the headphones for hours without any major discomfort. That’s worth mentioning because my experience with longer listening sessions is with the replacement pads, and those were a separate purchase. Overall, I’d still give them five stars. The combination of sound, noise cancellation, reliable connectivity, and a design that folds up makes them a really useful pair of headphones for me, especially for what I paid.

Love these headphones, worth the price. Noise cancellation and comfortability is great.

I loved my Beats Solo headphones as a teenager. I’m talking monster cable beats. Nothing was cooler, the bass was thundering, and while it didn’t sound great, it sounded so much better than the iPod in ears or my dad’s old crappy walkman on-ears I was used to. I listen to mostly electronic music, bass/dubstep, house & techno, all of that with some hip/hop and pop sprinkled in as well. I also love movies. As an adult at home, I have my beyerdynamic dt 770 pros for mixing and editing with. I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2s for travel and day to day usage. Recently, I have started to work from home a lot more in meetings, and there has been a lot of construction outside my window, and I hate having things stuck in my ears for hours on end so I was in the market for a pair of noise canceling over ear headphones. My partner has a pair of AirPods Max, I found the sound to be really great, detailed with good sound stage and flat great for voice but clinical and safe in all respects and lacking the bass I was looking for. Even with the top-of-the-pack anc and apple integration features I was used to on my in-ears I never could swallow the price. Also they were comfortable, but so heavy and not suited for long periods of wear. And the case was weird. So I tried the bereydynamic lagoon ANCs. They were garbage. Impossible to use the controls and pair with devices, sounded really good but not as good as I would expect from this brand, and the issues go on and on. They did have good bass, but the anc barely worked. I liked them at a lot at first, but they fell apart so quickly. Then I saw that apple had brand new beats headphones, and were 30% off on Amazon. I had to try them, the nostalgia hit hard and I’m so happy they didn’t change the iconic design from the studio 2s which I also liked as a replacement for my solos. I. Am. Floored. Super lightweight yet feel very solid and no creaking, apple integration features (i consider no auto switching to be a plus tbh, but icloud pairing is a must. Works very well with Apple TV), but the sound! Is so FUN. It’s like I’m in a concert hall with huge racks of speakers and towers of subwoofers. So much better than my old beats, by a landslide. Great instrument separation, and decent soundstage, sounds less like a wall of sound like my pro 2s do but not as wide and spatial as the max. A little bright for my taste, but never enough to cause fatigue. None of them come close to the 770s of course - would I recommend these for classical? Or acoustic? Never. Or for any type actual professional work? No. But if you like electronic, you will have so much fun enjoying music with these. The ANC and transparency is very very good, identical to my AirPods Pro, I would argue maybe even better than the max in some situations. The mic quality is good, not as good as my AirPods but good enough for work calls. I also love watching movies, and having multi-channel support like my pro 2s is epic. I absolutely love these - and am so happy I got them!

Purchased this for the gym because I was getting extremely annoyed from my AirPods falling out of my ears all the time mid-workout. A little on the pricey side and there definitely are cheaper alternatives for a pair of gym over-ear headphones but I do not regret this purchase especially since I purchased it on sale. -Sound quality is great. A little lacking in bass in my opinion but not a deal breaker for me. -Connectivity and button inputs are very convenient. My only complaint is that it lacks the chip that you would find in AirPods that automatically connect once you put the earbuds in your ear. It does not detect when you take the headphones off so at times I forget to turn it off. Lastly the battery life is amazing. 0 complaints about it.

I'm a hi fi type of guy. These definitely fill a void for at work set of headphones. Could be tighter could be firmer. They're actually a little flimsy they fold and thats great but I don't need them to fold in half on a whim. My AT mh50 corded headphones are definitely clearer (they're 10 years old) . But for a stereo headphone and the proper eq these are perfect for work or working out. If you wear ball caps like I do at work expect some wind noise and not complete isolation. I do lawncare and weedeater and zero turns are loud. They do their job but not perfect you need to go into it with the right mindset. I had the power beats until my ear peices started to crumble after all the sweat and use. (the ones that still had the wire connecting them) these work great. Not hifi but stereo quality. An eq app like I have will absolutely open these up and they will work for you. Just expect stereo headphones not hifi. If I could do it again and it wasn't for work I'd go momentum 4's without even hearing them. But with my job sweating and working in the heat, I'm trusting off my previous set of powerbeats. These Will do what you need. Protect your ears from loud noises. And deliver a decent sound if, listening at home with a eq app like mine they will rock your noggin. Loud and clear if you eq them right. With decent bass. Not gonna rattle your face but a good set of work headphones. I would recommend them. There's room for improvement. But all in all I am happy with the purchase. And especially if you just need something for day to day you'll like them and enjoy them.
