Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using these for a while now. I was looking for a nice pair of daily drivers, something I could take anywhere with me. They didn't need the absolute best ANC, I have a pair of over-ear headphones for that, and they didn't need epic audio quality for critical listening (I have a pair of IEMs for that). I wanted something inexpensive, pocketable, fashionable, but still having features like solid Bluetooth connectivity, some level of ANC, and good audio quality. Bonus points for natively working with Apple Music's Spatial/Atmos audio. I decided to jump on these given their price and aesthetics. First and foremost, the frosted clear design does bring me back to my teenage years in the 90's. The smooth plastic feels nice, the plastic case doesn't creak, the earbuds have some heft, and the magnetic for both the lid and earbuds are strong. The whole case is smaller than the case for my Bose QC Earbuds II. Each earbud has one physical button. You can set them up to cycle between ANC and transparency (or ANC, transparency, and everything off), triggering your phone's assistant (not needed if you have an iPhone), or adjust volume. They also have standard controls of play/pause, skip/previous, and fast forward/rewind. I like having tactile buttons instead of touch controls. With my Bose earbuds, I would always play/pause content and hear a loud thud in my ears. It was so bad the ANC and sound would become imbalanced for 20-40 seconds after playing and pausing music. I do miss having all controls on my earbuds, but I can use my Apple Watch to adjust media volume. Sound quality is surprisingly solid. Apple is continuing to push away from the old Beats sound signature of being muddy, heavy bass. These still have some thump, but it's more balanced with the highs and mids. It's still a curve close to the Harmon target with some recessed mids. But not nearly as bad as Beats used to be. I quite enjoy it for stereo and Atmos/Spatial content. I used to hate Atmos/Spatial audio in Apple Music. I tried it with these and liked the surround mixes better than their stereo counterparts, for the most part. There are still some terribly mixed Atmos tracks, and these earbuds don't help with that. However, most Atmos tracks sound good. There isn't any head tracking with the Studio Buds+. I'm fine with that and would disable it. I hate having to look straight ahead to have a balanced audio experience. Every genre I have listened to, which is fairly narrow, sounds great. Metal (death, nu/alternative, hardcore) and K-pop/pop songs come across clear without distortion. The volume of the Buds+ are a little low. I need to turn my iPhone 14 Pro Max up about 75% of the way. I also have Soundcheck enabled to help with the lower volume of Atmos tracks. Still, not bad. ANC is there, not as strong as the AirPods Pro 2 or Bose QC Earbuds II. It's serviceable and I think on-par with the AirPods Pro and Beats Fit Pro. Gone are the days of needing to spend $200+ to get solid ANC. The Buds+ do better with lower, constant sounds. They have some passive noise isolation. However, they are also vented so your ears won't sweat or have that plugged feeling. This does let some higher pitched outside noise in, but is a more comfortable experience. Battery life is just ok. Apple rates them at 5 hours of listening with ANC/transparency enabled and 8 hours with ANC/transparency off. It's not the best, not the worst. There's plenty of recharges left in the case, you'll get 24 hours of total listening time with the case giving 3 additional charges. The case charges only through USB-C, no Qi charging. It's a bit of a bummer but, given their price, it's fine. Still better than Lightning like on the PowerBeats Pro or microUSB like the Studio 3. These features a Beats chip, which I have a feeling is a modified Apple chip. You will get Hey Siri support along with automatic switching between Apple devices, just like AirPods. You won't get precision location services like the AirPods Pro 2. Simply open the case next to your iPhone and they will automatically pop up. The same thing happens with Android phones from the last 2-3 years. You won't get switching between Android devices or Hey Google support. There is a companion app for Android phones that lets you adjust some settings, still no EQ. The Beats chip is a Class 1 Bluetooth device and provides rock solid connection to other Bluetooth 5.x devices. I don't experience skipping with my iPhone 14 Pro Max or 2022 iPad Pro, same with my work Windows system. My Bose QC Earbuds II would constantly skip. Microphone quality is good, better than Bose but not as good as the AirPods Pro 2. Again, those start at a much higher price (even when on sale). I'm not expecting them to fully match earbuds that are $200 on sale. Overall, I am pleased with these earbuds. They aren't the absolute best at anything, but they are solid across the board. Comfort, build quality, sound quality, and ANC are all solid. I was having issues with my QC Earbuds II and these are replacing them. I would rather have 98% of Bose's ANC without all the Bluetooth skips, weird sound imbalance issues, random disconnects, and all the other various quirks I experienced with them. I highly recommend these if you want earbuds with some smarts, solid sound quality, good ANC, and nice build quality without breaking the bank. Get the frosted plastic if you want a trip back to the 90's.

Pros: lightweight, good sound, comfortable Cons: expected them to be louder, the color (or lack thereof) makes them very difficult to find if you drop one because I blend in with everything, short battery life To be honest, my expectations were a lot higher for these headphones. Considering the brand, I figured that they would be able to at least compete with my JB l, but in all honesty, I would save my money and buy different brand. Next time, they did not rock my world, they did not impress me. Don't get me wrong, they are alright, they sound better than my 5 dollar ones, but they can not compete with my jbl. I bought this as an open box special because the charger to my other headphones was lost. I didn't pay full price, or else I would have been disappointed. I also had to paint mine a bright color, because every time I drop one, they disappear because they are clear, but that is the only one that they had as the open box special. So I'm not complaining per SE I'm just advising don't get the clear ones!

Honestly great product , with a good battery life , music quality is great the only down fall is the microphone, people can’t hear me when I am on the phone talking , i do like that i can control them from the phone & buds directly , discreet design as well , & different size ear plugs which is a tremendous help

I like them don’t feel like I’ve had them long enough however sound quality is great, battery life is pretty good and they sit pretty well in my ear

I have been using these for over a year now. I like the sound from my music and they fit snug in my ears. If you drop the case they fly out and you have to find the individual buds. The case is small enough and I like the rounded edges

If you are looking for a great pair of buds for the gym, look no further. The sound quality on these buds is great and with the noise cancellation, although I’m in a loud gym, I feel like I’m there by myself. They fit comfortably in-ear and do not move while performing compound lifts or any exercise. The transparent look was a nice touch as well! Highly recommend.

Short Review: For 165 its good, If you can find them for cheaper theyre spectacular buys. Longer Review: Audio: Clear audio, good tunning that doesnt over boost the highs while staying clear. Bass is good depending on the seal of the earbuds in your ear. Mines is good so bassy songs are nice to listen to. Mids are great, though on some songs they sound lower due to too many instruments playing. Battery Life: Insanely good. Boasting 6 hours, but in my usage case i get 7-9 hrs of battery life with constant play. Calls: Great calling

They sound great and last all day. I don’t even realize I have them. I have had to reset them a couple of times due to loss of connection but it’s not really a big issue.

Great sounds and battery life, the transparent aspect is really nice. Connect to phone easily iPhone and Samsung, only complaint is microphone could be a lil better.

wife loves them: very comparable to the more expensive ipod pro. Noise cancellation is very solid, song is good, and they stay pretty snug during workouts.

The sound quality for listening to music a watching movies is excellent but the sound quality for phone calls is distorted making it hard for the caller to hear an understand u. It’s like the noise cancellation prohibits the caller from hearing the speaker as well

I got these bc the clear case. Lol I also use the airpod Pros. These slot nicely between the reg airpod and the pros. I find them to be comfy and the anc is just right — i can hear my content clearly but I’m not completely blocked out which is good for public environments. I do find the transparency as not as natural sounding as the pros as I can really tell I have something in my ear. Also music quality isnt as rich as pros but acceptable. Podcost type content sounds good. Call qaility is fine. I feel like the sudden load noise protection works better than the pros which is nice. Overall I’m happy l

These ear bugs sound so good and the music is clear, the battery life on the other hand is garbage

I bought these to replace the Beats Fit Pros I lost. I think the sound quality on the Fits Pros is slightly better but these are not bad, they do work well with my iPhone. They fit securely in my ears

The sound and noise cancellation is phenomenal. I lost my powerbeats pro and wanted a more discreet version. Although the sound is better than the powerbeats, I find it very hard to get the buds to stay in place for long. I have smaller ears and even with changing out the bud size, the overall shape/ size of the earbud is too large for me. Ive had them fall out while eating from the chewing motion or when I bend over. Great choice if you only plan on using them when not moving but I wouldnt do anything more than go on a walk with them.

Love these earphones. I use them to hear my music and podcasts at work and while doing stuff around the house. The only thing that bothered me about them that after 4 months the area where put the earphones to charge came off the case as if the glue seal wasn't put on correctly that I had to get super glue to fix them, but other than that everything still works great. One earphone last about 8-9 hours of use and then I switch out to the other.

I’ve had theses ear buds for a year now and they still sound great and still comfy

Love it!, but I notive that the lid is lose. Sounds is really better that airpods and it stays in my ears.

Great sound ! I like, the bass and the drums very good

So i first tried the first gen of the studio buds and absolutely hated them the only thing i liked about them was the color. Now they come out with the plus version and i see the commerical for them and i see the transparent version and was like yea i have to get those even if they suck but i was genuinely surprised by the enchanced sound and noise cancellation. These are dang near perfect
