Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphone - White

As an owner of the original Studio Beats I was hard pressed to spend $300-400 again on another pair of noise canceling headphones. Fortunately, Amazon had a great Goldbox deal around Christmas that made this decision somewhat easier ($275). These headphones are lighter, sleeker and the noise leak is much less than the originals. And best of all, these are Bluetooth wireless. So I've been using these everywhere, from pairing to my iPhone, or my MBP, wireless makes it just so easy to use these whereas with my original headphones I find myself avoiding using them because I would be tethered to something and would be getting tangled up in long extension cables or on a short leash from my phone or computer. Now I can just toss these on and play my audio. That alone makes they pretty compelling upgrade if you own the originals and are looking for an excuse to upgrade.My old pair will be given to my wife or kids to use on the airplane for the noise cancelling capabilities.Sound: These cans still sound great, the sounds stage is still slightly mid-low heavy yes, but I don't find them as heavy on the low end as before. The improved cushioning on the ear pieces might have helped in this regard, because find myself not turning up the volume as much but hearing much better. The highs on these seem a bit more clear than before making these tied for the favorite headphones I own. My Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 were my favorite headphones before I bought these but now they are about neck and neck, Audio-Technica are open air headphones that produce a nice sound stage throughout all frequency ranges, but Beats isn't that far off, and you get many more features (but you're also paying for them too).Noise cancellation: Again with the improved cushioning, these headphones are made much better than the originals. It is far more difficult to hear the outside world with these on my ears even without the headphones on, once I turn the headphones on the active noise cancellation kicks in and it virtually blanks out the outside world. There seems to be an improvement in the noise cancellation as well from the originals because I find myself much less irritated when I use these headphones without audio playing. Sometimes I just need quite and need to concentrate and with the original Beat Studio headphones I found it made a droning/pulsing white noise that would feel a lot like change of pressure in my ears like when you take off on an airplane. It sometimes gave me headaches. With this latest version of the Beats Studio, the droning/pulsing is much less and I can just wear these to give myself some piece and quiet in noisy environments. Once I turn on the audio for music, movies or audiobook, the outside world is pretty much gone.Bluetooth: Bluetooth pairing, simple and easy, turn on the headphones, turn on Bluetooth pairing on your device and when the Beats are connected they will play a little sound bite. When you turn off your Beats or your Bluetooth on your device, the headphones will play a different sound bite. If you need to switch from one Bluetooth source to another, simply turn off the Bluetooth or disconnect the Beats on one device and connect on the other. Makes switching from iPhone to Mac very easy. You can skip tracks with the headphone, change volume and start and stop audio (or video if you're watching something) right from the headphone left side controls.Battery: Charge time seems fairly normal, you can get about 80% charge within an hour. Though I haven't timed from completely drained battery to full, I don't think it takes more than 3 hours to get a full charge. The headphones last a while so you should be able to get an entire day of audio play if you need to. Good enough battery life for most long flights or frequent use. The only disappointing feature I find with these headphones is that I cannot switch out batteries if I need to. I haven't tried pulling off one of the covers but it looks like the side cover can be removed if you have a small screwdriver.Weight: These headphones feel significantly lighter than the original Beats Studio headphones I own. They are overall a smaller profile making packing and traveling with these much easier. The case is about 30% smaller than the original but lacks an internal pocket for holding accessories but so long as you can pack away a micro-USB charge cable somewhere you should be good to go.Appearance: Comes in many different colors and I like the titanium colored ones I purchased. They are unintrusive looking and keep a low profile. But there are several other color combinations to fit your style. Before Beats introduced other colors, for better or worse you had to look a bit obnoxious, somewhat like Ed Hardy shirts 5 years ago. With the white or gold colored headphones they look "softer", matte finishes look a bit more masculine and bold solid colors like red and blue for those people that like to stand out.Overall: These headphones are spendy but if you can afford them they are definitely worth it. The build quality is superb and the noise cancellation and sound quality are top notch. Even if you owned an older version like I do, these are worth looking at and even replacing the originals.

Five stars. Easily the best wireless headphones I've used, maybe the best noise cancellation, and astonishingly, I'd say well worth the money.I'm used to using on-ear noise cancelling headphones, so the biggest difference for me was the enclosed over-ear style. This dramatically increases the noise cancellation, but also had led to a little bit of air pressure on my ears after prolonged use (2-3 hours), which is only mild discomfort that disappears within minutes of stopping use. The noise cancellation is reliable in a lot of different environments; unlike some on-ear models there's no flutter when using outside in windy conditions. Seems to be very little, if any, sound leakage, even at higher volumes in quiet environments (again, better than on-ear alternatives).Sound quality is very good (definitely better than the typical 'Beats' sound), with a variety of different music and video/voice/phone. And it can get very loud! That said, it's good enough to highlight quality issues with streaming sources; I've switched Spotify and Google Play Music to 320kbps to make up for this. Works ok as a phone headset, although the noise cancellation is so good that it's hard to work out the right level to speak at (without unexpectedly shouting!).They're comfortable to wear, and the matte black looks great. Doesn't attract fingerprints, and isn't as obviously branded as some other Beats models. The lack of red on the headphones is particularly notable (although one of the included cables was bright red). Materials seem solid enough, albeit a little 'plasticky'. A 'stealth' option, as far as large over-ear headphones go. Packaging is quite large and suitably over-the-top, but comes with a good travel case (although I haven't needed to use this yet).The Bluetooth stack seems quite reliable (especially compared to older pairs of Nokia wireless headphones I had). Having the battery indicator on my iPhone is a nice touch. I've paired with a few different devices - phones (iOS and Android) and Macs (laptop and desktop) - without any trouble at all. Pairing is fast and it reliably reconnects to the last device I used. The only annoying part is that the Mac media controls aren't activated by the Beats button on the headphones (this is an Apple issue, and not unique to Beats).Speaking of which, the single Beats button is overloaded a bit. Pause/play is an easy single tap. Previous track (or usually 'start of current track') is a triple tap, which I find hard to time accurately every time. To go back to the start of the previous track can take six taps on the button, which is crazy! Next track is a more realistic two taps, but even that can be hard to get right. Adding two buttons (for previous and next track) would be a nice touch, it's just overloading a single button to do so much. On the other hand, volume control works well, and links to the volume on your device where possible (so it's in sync with apps and the device volume keys).Battery life has been great so far. I'm curious to see how I go on a couple of long flights (it certainly won't hold out on London to Sydney, and I'm not confident about London to San Francisco). The design of the headphones makes it hard to accidentally turn them on in a bag or their case, which is good - I've had a couple of pairs that suffered from this in the past (Bose and Nokia). Standard micro USB charging, worked with all of my different travel chargers, and was quite quick from wall outlets, portable battery or laptop computer. Only drawback is that you can't charge and use the headphones at the same time, but the rapid charging time makes this a relatively minor problem.They tick a lot of boxes across the board, without a doubt. I haven't used them wired, and probably won't. There are competitors with 'smarter' headphones that turn on/off when you fold them, pause/play when you remove them from your head, and have enough buttons to support previous/next track easily. But they all have their own drawbacks (mainly around Bluetooth and audio quality), and the Beats are brilliant at what they're designed for - active/passive noise cancellation whilst listening to great sounding music wirelessly over Bluetooth. They're not perfect, but they're the best option I've found, and although at a high price point, I think they're good value for money.So that said, here's what I'd like to see in the 2015 (v3.0) edition:* Automatic power on/off when folding the headphones (simple switch sensors)* Automatic pause when removing headphones from your ears/head (proximity/pressure sensor)* Better support for audio/media controls on MacOS (Apple's problem now)* A better way to access previous/next tracks (is it too much to ask for another two hidden buttons on the earpiece?)* Less bright LEDs when charging (in a dark room they can be very bright; ambient light sensor?)* Ability to use the headphones while they are charging (good for ultra long haul flights, like London to Australia)* Black cable for microphone/remote control connection (this is red, even in the black edition - the 'plain' cable is black though)* Better protection before shipping - one ear cup was slightly crushed (other reviewers also reported this)

It just wouldn’t keep the charger

Muy buen producto y una oferta increíble, al principio tenía mis dudas sobre el producto porque no venía empaquetado con el plástico con el que te lo venden en tiendas pero venía sellado y la caja sin maltrato alguno, todo se veía en orden, probé los audífonos y me encantó el sonido, pero seguía teniendo mis dudas, comencé a ver reviews en Youtube y comparaciones acerca del producto y la verdad todo parecía apuntar a que eran clones, primeramente por la caja, 2 porque no tiene número de serie y 3 porque ciertas características de los audífonos clones que se mencionaban en los vídeos los contenía este producto, pero el aspecto más importante que se mencionaba en todos los vídeos es que ningún clon tenía noise cancellation y el producto enviado por Amazon si lo contenía, el peso y el sonido era el mismo que en los originales, pero el número de serie que no contiene era lo que me hacía dudar sobre la autenticidad del producto; los accesorios se ven de muy buena calidad e incluso el estuche es de un plástico duro para que no se dañen. La única manera de comprobar que el producto es original es visitando la página de beats (la de eua) e ir hasta el final de la página y seleccionar la opción update your beats, tienes que descargar el programa en tu computadora con los pasos indicados en la misma página, pero antes de eso tienes que cambiarle el VPN a tu computadora porque la página de México está caída y no se puede descargar y esa es la única manera de comprobar la autenticidad de los beats ofrecidos por Amazon MX

No se que este pasando pero me enviaron dos y los mismos problemas uno se escucha más el lado izquierdo y los otros el lado derecho, Amazon ya no me quiso enviar un tercer reemplazo y no se por qué razón no me responden mis mail, está me quedaron mal!!!! Deben de tener más control con lo que venden por que estos audífonos no son nada baratos como para que salgan así, y si uno compra algo es para usarlo no para estar peleando por que te los cambien!

Están Excelentes !!! los recomiendo amplia mente son una buena opción de blue tooth, la bateria dura lo suficiente y la cancelación de ruido es magnifica!!!

These are very pricey but worth every dollar. I wear them every single day. They charge extremely quickly (I would say from dead to full in a little over an hour) and the battery lasts ages (8-10 hours, haven't fulled tested). They are very comfortable, I wear them to work and to the gym and they fit great. They store easily since they fold and the sound on them is amazing.The buttons on the side to control the volume and to change, repeat or pause a song are very convenient. I have yet to plug them in with the provided cable jack so cannot comment on that.
