Sound

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are somewhat different from the company's first model. The headphones are lighter and more comfortable, with a sleeker look and Pure Adaptive noise cancellation that reduces low frequency noise to help you concentrate. The headphones are equipped with more features including a built-in microphone that permits the use of these headphones for phone calls.

The sound quality is what you'd expect from Beats headphones. While Beats headphones have a reputation as being too bassy, they're not. The Studio3s are well-balanced and crisp with crisp vocals and precise instruments.

The Studio2 Wireless are not as great as premium cans from Bose however they're still superior. Active noise cancellation (ANC), while excellent for reducing background noises, isn't ideal. For example, it's not as effective at tuning out the loud hum of a plane as true ANC headphones and you can hear some low-mid frequencies when ANC is turned off.

The Studio3s are controlled by an earpiece with a central button that is located behind the Beats logo located on the left ear cup. A single press plays and pauses your music while triple and double presses let you skip tracks or go back. The button is flanked by volume controls that are embedded in a the ring of plastic.

These headphones pair automatically with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or Over Ear Headphones Noise Cancelling Bluetooth iPad when you're a part of the Apple ecosystem. They also link to iCloud. They can also be used with other Bluetooth devices, too, and you can switch between them quickly with no audio-visual lag. The Bluetooth connection is reliable and stable with a great distance and no dropouts.

The Studio3s come with a remarkable battery life. With wireless and ANC enabled you can listen for a total of 22 hours. This is more than double that of the previous model. You can connect the 3.5mm plug to listen even when the battery runs out.

Design

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones look like they did a few years ago but are packed with new technology. Apple's W1 chip allows for effortless pairing and switching between iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad. The headphones also allow fast charging, with 10 minutes of power, resulting in 3 hours of playback.

The headphones feature an Over Ear Headphones Noise Cancelling Bluetooth-ear design that rest comfortably around the ears. They're available in Shadow Gray, Porcelain Rose, Matte Black, White and Blue. The headset's ear cups are covered in soft cushions with the appearance of a rubbery. It may not be for everyone's tastes but it's comfortable for long periods of time. The headband is squishy but also soft and cushioned.

A small button on the left outer ear cup controls the basic functions, including accepting calls and playing music. The buttons above and below the Beats logo change the volume, and double tapping can advance the song or change tracks. The headset comes with a tiny button with multiple functions at the bottom that can be used to switch off and on the headphones, as well as activate ANC by two quick taps and put them in pairing mode. The headset comes with an audio cable and an remote control that can be used for taking calls using non-wireless devices.

Pure ANC is an improved noise cancellation feature that is available on Beats headphones. It promises to remove distortion in noisy environments, like the train station that is crowded or a busy office. We tested the feature using a mix of music from various genres, and it was capable of reducing distracting noises to a soft whooshing that didn't cause irritation to the ears. However, we discovered that the sound of cars passing by was not completely eliminated and the reverberation that comes from the subway tunnel was still present.

Overall, the Beats Studio3 wireless headphones are an excellent pair of headphones for people who need to be in a noisy area and want to shield their music from the noise. They are also very light, with a snug fitting that feels comfortable even after prolonged wearing.

Battery life

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are powered by two lithium batteries with high efficiency that promise up to 22 hours of battery life when active noise cancellation turned off. That's a good chunk of time, but not as long as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II or Sony WH-1000XM2.

As one would expect As expected, the Beats Studio3 Wireless utilize Apple's proprietary W1 Bluetooth connectivity chip. They connect and pair quicker than other wireless headphones. They also maintain their superior wireless range, and are able to be used away from your phone without losing signal. This is an enormous benefit for anyone planning to do any traveling with their headphones.

These Beats headphones include a durable protective case and the cable comes with an 3.5mm input, which allows you to listen to music on devices that aren't wireless. The case folds flat and the cable comes with an integrated remote and microphone for taking calls.

The "b" logo is a multi-function button located on the left earcup. A single press will pause or play music and a double-press will skip to the next track. A triple-press will rewind to a previous track. You can also hit this button to get your phone's intelligent assistant.

The right ear cup is home to the power button as well as five LED indicators that tell you how much battery remains. The lights aren't as clear like those on ANC-enabled Bose models, but they give an approximate idea of how much battery remains. If the active noise cancellation is turned off by double-tapping on the power button will activate it.

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphone's design is designed to be optimized for iOS devices. That limits their usability on other platforms, making the integrated remote control in the cord useless. They can be connected to Android phones, but you'll have to install an application from a third party to control them. Apple's hard-optimization might be a problem for some users, particularly those who plan on using the headphones on multiple devices. In the near future, Beats might make an upgraded model that is more compatible with other platforms.
