Beats Studio Pro – Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones – Personalised Spatial Audio, USB-C Lossless Audio, Apple & Android Compatibility, Up to 40 Hours Battery Life – Sandstone

I will keep the review short as possible 🐻 bear with me. Firstly I am not an iPhone owner, when first connecting to Bluetooth my android wanted me to down an ipod favoured app. Declined but on reflection not poorer for doing so. Watched some YouTube reviews, one reviewer said sound quality (covers) all the corners or genres. I sampled some of my favorites on YouTube, im 63yrs young and my music tastes are between Bethoven to the Bettles. Add to this I was around enjoying the 80s which was such = The 80s music scene was defined by its diversity, with electronic music and synthesizers becoming dominant, giving rise to genres like synth-pop, house, and techno. This was also the era of pop megastars like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince, the explosion of MTV, the rise of hip-hop, and the continued popularity of rock music, particularly glam metal and thrash metal. And my own interipation that synthesizers were an instrument in their own right and not as now often used to replace the instruments an example drums. Check out Soft Cell Tainted Love EXTENDED CUT ORGINAL ABSOLUTE CLASSUC. Back to reviewer statement of initially extremely good sound overall but sadly in his opinion of the headphones representation of bass being only adequate. LOL. In his own opinion. I found this to a certain degree intially true myself firstly on testing, but solved that on my Samsung S22 ( not exactly BOSE standard ) by going into my 📱 phones sound settings and adding bass boast and then it was a moving moment for me a lay person OH MY GOD LUSCIOUS BEAUTIFUL RICH SOUND BRILLIANT SPACIAL STEREO WHICH I WOULD CALL ON A PAR WITH 5.1 DOLBY. Btw I hadn't 5.1 creative sound setup on a high spec gaming computer. We all have different wants and needs, remember setting up your equaliser sliders on your HIFI back in the day lol, and, heaven forbid anyone alter them by a thousands of an inch, they would KNOW and it was scary stuff. Another reviewer quoted that Beats headphones way back were optomized indeed set up by the famous DJs of their time and genre. Beats manufacturers started out on the market became globeably noticed on the headphones TUNED by the DJs which suited their particular music tastes and were tuned accordingly = (that being heavy bass) So I suggest you go into the equaliser setting on whatever be your intended victim, should that be Ipod, phone, tablet, LIGHTSABBER or TV. Remember the expression everyone " one man's meat is another man's poison" The sound cancelling is phenomenally amazing, I was shocked i couldn't hear someone talking 600mm away from me on out of the box setup WOW. And also they literally seal in the sound so you don't and won't disturd others closeby be it on Trains Planes or Automobiles, joke intended, but one of my ultimate all time favourites. I suggest you not wear them anywhere where your safety could be compromised or use adjust settings volume levels on these headphones they really work that well i kid you not. Got these on Black Friday November 25 they suggested RRP £350 a pop. Different prices for colours other than Henry Fords Black. Went with Black at £100 a pair and purchased 2 pairs. After being BLOWN AWAY on first my first trying them out in battle conditions, BTW I intend to use them with my newly acquired Ps5 playing first person shooters. Bluetooth connection is seamless and simple and quick and have a good distance range for wearer away from source. Battery life superb, volume maximum is set by European laws a tad low but for me not a concern. Well constructed, comfortable to wear, and fold away into supplied zipped storage wallet. To test any kind of equipment which produces sound ie speakers i like to personally use Flac samples lossless recordings and Bass tests available on YouTube. Dolby samples are also exceptional, Remember the cinema days ? I would buy again in a heart BEATS. So there you are a day one review. I would pay twice the amount as i was so genuinely impressed. Brilliant value for money. No regrets on day one use.

Updated. Loving these even more. My son doesn't use them as much as I thought he would which is a BONUS for me!!! Just connected them to my LG TV with ease and now using these to watch and listen to it, I can let him use his tablet as loud as he wants now!! Going to connect them to the other two tv's in the bedrooms now. Got these for £149 on offer, now price is £349 - looking like a real bargain Bought for my son (7) who is never off his phone and tablet. Tried him with in ear ones but he just wouldn't wear those. These he never takes off. I have tried them to gage a review. I am not technical but from my basic knowledge the headphones connect so easily to devices. Currently connected to a Samsung mobile; laptop and tablet, plus a Redmi mobile. Sound is excellent, and I have not really examined all the settings and options. Great noise cancelling as well. They look the business and a lovely midnight type blue. Black Friday discount made the purchase even better. Don't get me wrong, they are not the cheapest on the market but for the ones I currently own, or have tried out in the past; these are certainly the best.

Class, great sound, can control the volume/ turn it on and off from the headphones themselves without even turning on your phone. Battery is pretty good, connect easily but if music is paused will disconnect after about half a minute. When folded up very small and can fit into small case easily. Well designed and work great.

These headphones are amazing! I have had these headphones now since the 23rd of November and I must say, they do not disappoint. As someone who has tried a variety of different headphone brands, the sound quality is truly something else. I have found myself happily lost in the music with these headphones. The cushioning of these headphones is amazing and comfortable for wearing over long periods. The battery is incredible and lasts for a very long time, even on noise cancelling. The noise cancellation is brilliant. As someone who relies a lot on this function, this is incredibly important and did not disappoint at all. The bass is quieter and calming, but crisp at the same time. Although others have commented on this, I have done my research. The bass is quieter because for this model, the priority was shifted to a more acoustic sound, focusing more on the vocals. But, you should not underestimate the sound. It is incredible! From my own experience, I would definitely recommend these headphones.

I got these on an insane deal for £99. But since the retail price was so high and the fact I have beats buds already, the bar was set very high. Welcome to my honest review. When I took it out the casing, I thought wow, this feels really quality. Beware of the dark colours though, they WILL pick up fingerprints like no tomorrow, especially if you got oily hands. Its got metal on the hinges for the locking mechanism, which felt nice and sturdy. The plush ear cups are quite comfortable, but the ear cup itself isn't very deep. Sometimes after about half an hour of wearing them, my right ear felt a little pained at the tip where it was making contact with the foam inside. It felt uncomfortable as a result. For gym goers, it was easy for my ears to get hot and sweaty. Not good because those ear cups are staying on there for as long as they will. Negative point there. The transparency mode is good, voices and surroundings come through clearly but its spatial positioning is not as lifelike as earbuds, due to the fact that the mics are placed farther from the ears. Noise cancelling is also good too, during my workouts in the gym I found myself astounded at how radiosilent all the treadmills had become. Of course, it isn't perfect though. When im on the bus, a little engine rumble does come through, but its little enough that you won't notice it much when you play music over it. Seal really is the make it or break it in this regard. The sound quality had a high bar for me personally as I had beats buds already which sounded great - the punchy deep bass with the rounded mids and slightly raised trebles. These could've been great... there's a peak in its sound signature in the treble where it makes sibilant sounds (ss, shh, t) quite harsh and loud. My ears were very sensitive to this, which made it an unpleasant listening experience. I tried to counteract it with the EQ built into my phone, but it didn't work that well. Apart from that, it would've been superb - bass and treble were nicely rounded out and detailed. Noise bleed is good. At comfortable and moderate listening levels, nobody else could hear a thing. That changes when you're blasting it constantly at unreasonable amounts of volumes. Please. You only have one pair of ears in your lifetime, take care of them!! I used this with both an Android and an iPhone, where both connected seamlessly and did multipoint connection differently. On the iPhone side, it switches seamlessly with other apple products, like the Apple Watch. It also works with the Share Audio feature, tried and true. Dolby Atmos with head tracking is a bonus feature for those who are into it. On the Android side, connecting it alongside a laptop was brilliant. I was able to watch videos on my laptop and have it automatically pause and switch to my phone when I got a call. Great stuff there. The buttons are quite loud and do sound cheap on the side of the headphones. The small button used to turn them on and to control noise modes is also placed weirdly, my finger can never really press on it properly. However, this is just a minor thing. Battery life was quite solid for how often I used them in the different noise modes. They easily saw me through study sessions, moody nights and all sorts of commutes. Some minor tidbits you should be wary about.. - When youre walking, you hear every step as a thump, right where the bass is. Even in noise cancelling. In this regard, the beats buds do it better cause they cancel it out completely, but these dont have internal mics to measure what youre hearing. Thats what also makes the ANC weaker. - Call quality is dreary the millisecond wind is involved outdoors. I tested it with my brother and he couldn't hear a word i said, despite nearly shouting. Its good for the other end though, his voice came through clearly. The b button allowed me to conveniently mute the mic at a moments notice. Nice touch. - The rubber on the headband can feel uncomfortable and can even tug on your hair a little bit, which adds to the uncomfortableness factor for longer listening sessions. - The pouch these come in is a little bit of a hassle to constantly put in and take out the headphones from. It doesn't open up quite fully, meaning you have to hold it open with one hand to put the headphones in. At least the cables are good quality, right? - Well, the type c one wasn't good for Audio. I tried to use it with my laptop for that quality sound and better delay. Every tap, touch and type traveled from my laptop chassis to the cable right up into the headphones. This gets irritating after a while, but the aux cable doesn't do this. The type c cable supports fast charging and PD for your phone when you need a cable in a pinch though. I ended up returning these because of the sibilant sound. It just grated on my nerves! Every time I thought I'd warm up to them, a song came on where it made those harsh sounds shine. A million thank yous to you for reading my extensive review. I hope this has helped you in some way with decision making, I know its opened my eyes for sure. Have a good one.

Good sound, feels premium, plenty of battery life. Works well with android and Apple products hell even works on Linux.

BAD USER EXPERIENCE Update : I have knocked another star off because they don't automatically pair my computer like other headphones do - I keep having to go in to the bluetooth settings and select them manually. (I think these are more aimed at Apple users rather than Windows/Android usesrs) Update 2 : I have knocked another star off because they seem to go to sleep and I have to wake them up and reconnect them Update 3 : For some strange reason, I have to turn my heaphones off, BEFORE, I turn my computer off, otherwise they go in to 'Pairing' mode, and never turn off - cancelling any benefit from from Charging. Honesltly, these are hands down the WORST bluetooth headphones I have ever had. DOWGRADED TO 1 STAR. I bought at a 57% discount (according to Amazon i.e. £149) ̶G̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ Poor value. Good sound cancelling. Good battery. Good Quality. The only thing I have knocked a star off for is the 'sound responsiveness' when you turn them on and off. I have had a lot of bluetooth headphones - it is EXTREMELY useful to have a noise when they turn on. These do not. They have a sound when you "connect". But not a sound when you turn "on". It is a real pain in the "a" when you are turning them on and don't know when to let go of the power button. Too short and they don't turn on at all. Too long, and they go in to pairing mode (and don't turn on and connect). Have a sound when they initially turn on and are ready to connect - but let people "power" through it if they are trying to "pair". This "on" versus "pairing" mode is AMAZINGLY annoying and other cheaper brands have got it right. I end up holding the power button until "external" sounds get "cancelled" - then I know it is on and will "connect", and I can let go of the power button without it going it to "free pairing" mode. It is a VERY subtle difference in sound to spot in order to connect rather than pair again.

These headphones were great value got them in the sales. Easy to set up and good sound quality. Comfortable to wear as well. The noise cancelling feature was a requirement for me in choosing these headphones.
