Beats solo 3 update4/29/2024 ![]() Given the lighter and less aggressive design, as well as lots of extra features, we think most people will prefer the Beats Fit Pro of the two workout buds – but for truly hardcore activities where you need there to be zero chance of them falling out, the Powerbeats Pro may still be the better choice. They have slightly better battery life and a smaller carrying case than the older Powerbeats Pro, though those have an even more secure fit. They have a robust feature set that includes active noise cancellation, spatial audio support and hands-free Siri on iOS, as well as a prominent wing tip design, which helps to hold them in your ears really solidly when you’re working out. Think of the Beats Fit Pro as the original Apple AirPods Pro with a few modifications and at a lower price. At this kind of price, though, we would strongly recommend that people also check out the Sony WF-C700N – we gave those five stars. Saying that, they're much cheaper than the likes of the AirPods Pro 2, and when you get then on a discount, we like the balance of features to cost. However, they're small, light and very comfortable to wear. With noise cancellation turned on, you get five hours (15 hours with the case), and their noise cancellation isn’t exactly class-leading, either. Chief among them is their lackluster call quality and below-average battery life. They're not without some drawbacks, though. ![]() They sound good for their price (which is usually much lower than their official list price, since they're a few years old), with a lively sound quality that elevates the highs and lows of your music, and feel supremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time. ![]() The Beats Studio Buds are rock-solid true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation, and support for Apple’s Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos format when used with iPhone. On Android, you also get auto-switching between Google-compatible devices.įor the price, it's a shame the Beats Studio Pro lack wear-detection (to auto-pause when you take them off), and don't have device switching or audio sharing for Apple devices, like AirPods devices and some other Beats products do – but if you're looking for Beats' richest sound and best noise cancellation so far, in a very comfortable and slick design, these are what you need. On iPhone, you also get the spatial audio support mentioned above. On both platforms, you get fast pairing and support for their respective Find My networks to locate lost devices. Like all recent Beats buys, these have feature options for both iPhone and Android. Active noise cancellation is the best of the Beats range. ![]() We also noted that "For Apple users, support for personalized spatial audio and Dolby Atmos provides a noticeable boost, alongside head tracking." (Android users still get spatial audio, but no head tracking.) We're also big fans of the inclusion of wireless lossless sound over USB-C. We liked the sound, and in our review we said "as always with Beats, there's some powerful bass here" which had songs "thumping away to our delight", without lacking "crispness and decent detail". Now, we think those companies do this better for the price (see our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review or our Sony WH-1000XM5 review for more), but there's no doubt that the Beats Studio Pro are the most impressive Beats cans to date. Beats latest high-end headphones keep the same kind of design we're used to from previous hits such as the Studio 3, but bring in new audio tech and features to compete with the latest from the likes of Sennheiser and Sony. ![]()
