Review on 🎶 Unleash Your Sound: Beats Studio3 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones by Matt Addison

Noise-canceling headphones are more popular than ever, and these headphones are the latest take on them from Beats. Beats Studio 3 are actually Apple headphones. There have been some changes, the most notable being the use of the Apple W1 chip. Turning it on gives the Beats Studio 3 some technological advantages over the best noise-canceling headphones in some areas. These benefits are limited to the iOS system, except for Android users. This means that the Beats Studio 3 will either be very good headphones or completely ordinary, depending on the OS you choose. If you're an Apple user, you can add half a star to the overall score. Visually, it's hard to tell the Beats Studio 3 from the Studio 2 and the original Studio Wireless models. The construction is still mostly plastic, with a prominent "b" logo printed on each ear. More optics, excellent fixation. There is no squeak when you fold the earbuds or twist them; I think the Studio 3 can handle reasonable wear and tear. However, the market has changed a bit since the first Studio was launched and the money can buy you a more luxurious option. The Sony WH-1000XM2 combines plastic with metal and faux leather. I don't mind using plastic as it helps keep the weight down. The only time the Studio 3s feel a bit flimsy is when pressing the button on the left ear - the click is annoyingly loud. They are very comfortable. The ear pads envelop your ears well, leaning against the sides of your head like pillows. For me, Beats headphones are more comfortable that I have used for a long period of time, the only drawback was a lot of heat buildup. The Beats Studio 3 are wireless and noise-canceling headphones that don't have any fancy "smart" features like the automatic ambient noise control in the Sony WH-1000XM2 or the B&W PX sensors for auto play/pause. The battery has a quick charge function that provides three hours of playback if the headphones are charged for 10 minutes. This is great. But battery life varies, and that's where Apple's W1 chip comes in. You can get around 22 hours of headphone usage, but only with Apple devices. In other cases, it can reach about half. Meanwhile, the Sony WH-1000XM2 offers 30 hours (ANC on), no matter what device you're using. The same goes for communication. Connection is almost instant on iPhone or iPad. There's even a "smooth transition" feature, people on iOS 10 and iOS 11 can use Beats Studio 3 to make calls on their iPhone and then watch a movie on their MacBook without the usual pairing of devices. On Android, it's common to switch devices every time. I had problems with Beats Studio 3 when I tried to connect to Huawei Mate 9 or LG V30. Sometimes they didn't show up in the Bluetooth connection menu or didn't always want to connect when they were visible. I didn't have these problems with the B&W PX headphones. Even the Apple device had problems. On my MacBook Air Beats Studio 3, they tried to force me to go into iTunes whenever I wanted to pause music or play something. Basically, Beats Studio 3 are Apple lovers. Luckily, the sound quality and the quality of the noise cancellation is no matter if you have iOS or Android. If silence is important to you, if you're considering noise canceling headphones, you won't be disappointed. Audio performance is also pretty decent. Strong sense of dynamism and rhythm. The highs are pronounced. All the same signature bass. My verdict: If you're a fan of Apple devices, Beats Studio 3 is for you. For Android users who won't benefit from Apple's W1 chip, the experience might be disappointing. For the money, you can buy much better alternatives. Sony WH-1000XM2 or Bowers&Wilkins PX offer more features and better sound quality. However, for those who own an iPhone, iPad, and iMac and use those devices to listen to iTunes, these wireless noise canceling headphones will serve you well. You will get excellent connection between devices and battery life.
