Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling over the ear noise cancelling headphones Ear Headphones Review

Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones provide an ergonomic fit and premium quality, and also excellent audio quality. They also feature excellent noise cancellation and battery life. They are compatible with iOS and Android devices, and they are easy to connect.

The headphones come with Apple's W1 chips, which make it easier to connect them and switch between Apple products. This is a huge plus for Apple users.

Sound

The Beats Studio3 Wireless is a departure from their original model. The headphones are lighter and more comfortable with sleeker design and Pure Adaptive noise cancellation that reduces low frequency noise and helps you focus. There are additional features, including an integrated microphone that makes the headphones suitable for phone calls.

As you'd expect from a pair of Beats they sound solid. They're not as bassy as Beats headphones that have a bad reputation. The Studio3s offer a balanced sound with crisp vocals and precise instruments.

The Studio2 Wireless are not as great as high-end cans from Bose, but they are still far superior. Active noise cancellation (ANC), while excellent in reducing background noises is not the perfect solution. For instance it's not as effective in removing the drone of a plane as a pair of true ANC headphones, and you may hear low-mid frequencies when ANC is turned off.

The Studio3s can be controlled via an earpiece with a central button that is located behind the Beats logo on the left earcup. One press plays and pauses your music. Double and triple presses allow you to skip tracks and then go back. The button is flanked by volume controls that are embedded in a the ring of plastic.

These headphones are automatically connected to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad when you're a part of the Apple ecosystem. They also connect to iCloud. You can use them with other Bluetooth devices and switch between them without delay in audio or visual. The Bluetooth connection is stable and strong with a great distance and no interruptions.

The Studio3s have an impressive battery life. You can listen for as long as 22 hours with wireless and Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones ANC on this model, which is more than twice the time it took to play with the previous model. You can connect the 3.5mm plug to continue listening even when the battery runs out.

Design

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones look like they did three years ago, but are loaded with new technology. Apple's W1 chip is used to enable easy pairing and switching of iOS devices like an iPhone or iPad. The headphones also support fast charging, with 10 minutes of power resulting in 3 hours of playback.

The headphones feature an over-ear noise cancelling headphones design that rests comfortably around the ears. They're available in Shadow Gray, Porcelain Rose, Matte Black, White and Blue. The ear cups of the headset are covered in soft cushions with an a little rubbery feel that might not be to everyone's taste 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, like taking calls and playing music. The buttons on top and below the Beats logo control the volume. Double tapping can move or switch tracks. The headset also features a tiny bottom-mounted multi-function button that allows you to turn the headphones off and on or enable ANC by pressing two quick taps, and then put them in pairing mode by pressing it for a few seconds. The headset also includes an audio cable that has an audio remote that can be used to make calls from non-wireless devices.

Pure ANC is a tweaked noise cancellation feature that is available on Beats headphones. It promises to eliminate distortion in noisy environments like a crowded train station or a busy office. We tried the feature on an assortment of music from different genres and it was capable of reducing distracting noises to a gentle rumble that didn't grate against the ears. We noticed that the sound from cars passing by and the reflections of the subway tunnel were still present.

Overall the Beats Studio3 wireless headphones are a fantastic pair of headphones for those who need to be in a noisy area and want to shield their music from the noise. They are also extremely light and have a comfortable fit that is at ease after long periods of wearing.

Battery life

Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones use lithium batteries that are high-efficiency that provide 22 hours of battery life even with active noise cancellation off. This is a decent amount of time, although not as long as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II or Sony WH-1000XM2.

As one would expect, the Beats Studio3 Wireless utilize Apple's own W1 Bluetooth connectivity chip. This means that they pair up and connect faster than other wireless headphones. They also maintain their excellent wireless range, and can be used well away from your phone without the signal dropping out. That's a huge benefit for anyone planning to travel using headphones.

The Beats headphones come with a durable protective case, and the cable is equipped with an 3.5mm input for when you're listening to music on non-wireless devices. The case folds into a flat position, and the cable comes with a built-in microphone and remote to take calls.

On the left earcup On the left ear cup, the "b" logo acts as an earphone with a multi-function button. Pressing it once will pause the music or play it, while another press will skip to the next song. Triple-pressing will return you to the previous song. You can also press 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 let you know how much battery remains. The lights aren't quite as bright as those on Bose models that have ANC, but they still give you a rough idea of the remaining power. If the active Noise cancelling Wireless headphones cancellation is turned off by double-tapping on the power button will activate it.

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are designed specifically for iOS devices. This restricts their use on other platforms and renders the remote control integrated in the cord ineffective. It is possible to connect them to Android phones, but you'll require an application from a third-party to control the headphones. Apple's hard-optimization may be a hindrance for certain users, especially those who plan to use the headphones with a variety of devices. Beats could release an updated model in the near future that is compatible with other platforms.

Controls

The Studio3 Wireless headphones are equipped with a range of controls. Contrary to many Beats headphones most of them are on the left (apart from a power button on the right). The 'b' logo is located on the left earcup. Pressing it once will play or pause the music. Pressing it twice will skip to the next track and three times will take you to the previous track. You can also hold down the logo to activate the phone's intelligent assistant.

In addition to playing music, the Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones also can be used as a superb noise cancelling pair. The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones use an earphone cup that is constantly monitoring the surrounding environment. Thanks to Apple's W1 chip and Beats audio processing the adaptive noise cancellation is always active. The headphones can even adjust to your fit, and correct leakage caused by hair, glasses and ear shapes that are different.

If you don't want to use your headphones, you can fold them down and store them in a case that can double as an additional stand. The case is sturdy and comes with a padding pouch that makes it easier to keep in your bag.

The Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones are able to connect to your device via Bluetooth. It's easy to set up. They work with any device that supports class 1 Bluetooth. This includes iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices. If you need to connect them with something that doesn't support Bluetooth, there's an 3.5mm input on the the left earcup.
