Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones Review

Beats Studio3 wireless noise cancelling on ear headphones provide a comfortable fit as well as premium sound and audio quality. They also have excellent battery life and noise cancellation. They are compatible with iOS and Android devices, and they are easy to connect.

The headphones are equipped with Apple's W1 chip which makes them easy to pair and switch between Apple devices. This is an enormous benefit for Apple users.

Sound

The Beats Studio3 Wireless is a change from their original design. The headphones are a bit lighter and more comfortable, with sleeker design and Pure Adaptive noise cancellation that blocks out low frequency noise and helps you concentrate. There are other features, such as a built-in microphone, making the headphones suitable for phone calls.

As you would expect from a pair of Beats the sound is solid. These headphones are not as bassy as Beats headphones which have a negative reputation. The Studio3s are well-balanced and clear with clear vocals and precise instrumentals.

The Studio2 Wireless are not as good over ear noise cancelling headphones as a pair of high-end headphones from Bose however, they are still far superior. Active noise cancellation (ANC), while fantastic for reducing background noises, is not perfect. For example, it's not as effective in removing the sound of a plane like a pair of genuine ANC headphones, and you will hear low-mid frequencies even when ANC is off.

You control the Studio3s using the central button that is located behind the Beats logo on the left ear cup. A single press plays and pauses the music, while double and triple presses allow you to skip tracks or go back. The button comes with volume controls that are embedded in a plastic ring.

These headphones pair automatically with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad in the event that you're part of the Apple ecosystem. They also connect to iCloud. They can be used with other Bluetooth devices and switch between them without audio-visual delay. The Bluetooth connection is strong, with good range and no dropouts.

The Studio3s boasts an impressive battery life. You can listen for up to 22 hours using ANC and wireless, which is more than twice the playtime of the previous model. You can connect the 3.5mm plug to keep listening even after the battery has run out.

Design

The Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones look like they were three years ago, but they're with the latest technology. They're loaded with Apple's W1 communication chip that allows effortless pairing and switching between iOS devices, like an iPhone or iPad. The headphones also offer fast charging, which is 10 minutes of power that result in 3 hours of playback.

The headphones are designed with an over-ear design that rests comfortably around the ears. They're available in Shadow Gray, Porcelain Rose, Matte Black, White, Red and Blue. The earcups of the headset are covered in soft cushions that have a a slightly rubbery feel that might not be for everyone's tastes but it's comfortable for long periods of time. The headband is a little too snug and makes for a great seal however, it's also padded and soft.

A small button on the outer left ear cup controls basic features including answering calls and playing music. The buttons that are above and below the Beats logo alter the volume, while double tapping can advance songs or change tracks. The headset comes with a tiny button with multiple functions at the bottom, which can be used to switch off and on the headphones, or activate ANC by two quick taps, and switch the headphones into pairing mode. The headset also has an audio cable with an audio remote that can be used to make calls from non-wireless devices.

Pure ANC is a tweaked version of the noise cancellation feature found on Beats headphones that claim to remove distortion from noisy environments such as trains that are crowded or a busy office. We tried the feature on the mix of music from various genres, and it was able to reduce distracting sounds to a light whooshing that didn't grate against the ears. However, we noticed that the sound of cars passing by did not disappear, and the reverberation from the subway tunnel was still evident.

Overall, the beats studio3 wireless headphones are a fantastic pair of headphones for those who have to be in a noisy environment and need to keep their music separate from the surrounding noise. They're also extremely light and comfortable to wear. that feels comfortable after long hours of wear.

Battery life

Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones use two lithium batteries with high efficiency to provide 22 hours of battery life, even with active noise cancellation off. That's a good chunk of time, although not as long as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II or Sony WH-1000XM2.

As expected, the Beats Studio3 Wireless utilize Apple's W1 Bluetooth connectivity chip. This means they pair up and connect faster than other wireless headphones. They're also able to maintain their excellent range and can be used away from your smartphone without losing signal. This is a great advantage for anyone traveling with headphones.

The Beats headphones come with a tough protective case and the cable has an 3.5mm input so you can listen to music on devices that aren't wireless. The case folds flat and the cable is equipped with an integrated microphone and remote that can be used to take calls.

On the left earcup The left earcup's "b" logo is a multi-function button. A single press will play or pause music, while a double-press will skip to the next track. Triple-pressing will bring you back to the previous song. You can also hit this button to access your phone's intelligent assistant.

The right earcup is home to the power button as well as five LED indicators which let you know what remains of the battery. These lights aren't as clear as those on the ANC-enabled Bose models, but they give you a rough estimate of how much battery is left. Pressing the power button twice will activate the active noise cancelling, in the event that it is turned off.

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are made specifically for iOS devices. This limits their use on other platforms and renders the remote control built into the cord useless. They can be connected to Android phones however, you'll need to install a third-party application to control them. Apple's hard optimization may be an issue for some users, especially those who intend to use the headphones with multiple devices. In the future, Beats might make an updated model that is more compatible with other platforms.

Unlike many Beats headphone designs, cancelling the majority of them are located on the left (apart from an power button to the right). By pressing the 'b' symbol on the left ear cup once will stop or play music. By pressing it twice you can skip to the next track and three times, you can go back to an earlier track.
