Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been genuinely impressed with the Beats Studio Buds+ from the moment I started using them. The sound quality is rich and well-balanced, with punchy bass that doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. Noise cancelling works surprisingly well for true wireless earbuds at this size, making it easy to focus whether I’m commuting, working, or at the gym. Transparency mode is just as solid and feels natural when I need to stay aware of my surroundings. The fit is comfortable and secure, even during longer listening sessions, and the battery life easily gets me through the day with room to spare. Pairing was quick and seamless, and I love how well they integrate with my devices. On top of that, the sleek design and compact case make them easy to carry everywhere. Overall, the Beats Studio Buds+ deliver excellent performance, convenience, and style—definitely a great choice for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality wireless earbuds.

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.

I've been using these Beats Studio Buds+ for a while now and they've exceeded my expectations. Sound quality is crisp with clear highs and decent bass. The active noise cancelation works surprisingly well for everyday noise, and the Transparency Mode feels natural when I need to hear my surroundings. Plus, the transparent design gets a lot of compliments-it has a cool retro aesthetic. Battery life easily gets me through the day, and they connect seamlessly. Definitely worth it!

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!

I absolutely love my Beat Air Pods! These earbuds deliver an exceptional audio experience that's truly unmatched. The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass that makes my music come alive. They fit comfortably in my ears, and the battery life is impressive, lasting all day without needing a recharge. The sleek design and convenient touch controls make them a joy to use. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Long battery life, noise cancellation is the best feature. Sometimes a weird noise occurs (Mathew a connection thing?) it’s like a beeping. Not distracting but definitely noticeable and I would say happens once or twice a day.

I've really enjoyed using the Beats Solo Buds. The sound is clear with nice bass, and they fit comfortably even during long sessions or workouts. Setup was quick, battery life is solid, and the case is super portable. Overall, they’ve been a great addition to my daily routine. Highly recommend if you're after quality and convenience.

Beats has delivered an upgrade, a product that is evolving and for the better! The inspiration drawn from transparent tech of the past, as well as the most recent Nothing Ear (1), Ear (2), and Stick earbuds was a good design choice. The sound is indeed better, refined with less bloat and audible instrument separation. They give the Beats Fit Pro a run for the money, though the Fit Pro’s enjoy the Apple H1 with noticeable advantages. The ANC is also stronger and safe to say no pressure has been felt. The lack of wireless charging may be a turn off for some, not to me. The lack of auto-pause / ear detection may be another reason why some may stay away, but not a deal breaker. In short, you get improved battery life, stronger and noticeable ANC, more pleasant and enjoyable sound thanks to some fine tuning, These are going to stay in the collection, and it makes me wonder what Beats/Apple has in store for the Beats Fit Pro (2) if they ever make any. Price! $169 worthy? perhaps, but I’d be happier dishing out $10 less or even the original price of the OG studio buds at $149. Choice is yours, but Beats is listening and making improvements along the way.

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

Had these for about a week and a half after my jaybird x4 finally died. Decided to go fully “wireless” and so far they’re pretty good. Noise canceling work great and as intended. I prefer the transparency mode at the gym which allows some noise vs complete music isolation while using the noise canceling mode. The additional ear tips are good so you can figure out which size is right for you. Battery plus the carrying case give hours of music before having to charge. Overall the pretty good for the money.

I lost the original earbuds on a recent trip and decided I couldn't live without a replacement of the exact same earbuds. These were available as an open-box item, so I saved a bit over new/sealed box. The condition as like-new other than all the silicone eartips were missing from the box. These earbuds are exceptional at noise cancelation (especially with Comply-brand foam eartips) and the sound is very good as well (almost as good as my much more expensive Sony earbuds). Battery life is also very good; lasts all day every time I use them, even with noise cancelation turned on. I highly recommend these earbuds and -- take it from me -- you won't be unconsolable if you happen to lose them like I did and need to repurchase another pair! This time, I purchased a case-cover with a loop attachment so they can't drop out of my bag!

I'm very happy with my Beats Studio +. They make music sound amazing...I didn't know what I was missing when listening just on my phone. Perfect for phone calls. The noise cancelling aspect is super cool and you can toggle from transparent to full cancellation. I often use my Beats with soundscapes like rain to help sleep and block out noise from neighbors or the kids at the playground *(including basketball) near my condo. They really help negate most noises that wake me up. They cancel and blocks veryloud snoring, but not completely, but I'm a light sleeper. They feel comfortable and secure. Cool case with dim light when opening in the dark.

Amazing sound, comfortable earbuds, long lasting battery. I am so glad I pick them!

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.

I own a pair of Beats Fit Pro prior to grabbing these studio buds. Never owned the first version of the studio buds even though I had considered trying them before grabbing the last gen of AirPods Pro. Currently though these are my favorite and get a ton compliments on the transparent model. These stay in my ear much better than any pair of AirPods I've ever owned. I'm a paramedic so I use these while at work to do my job....I work at the most 2-3 consecutive days in a row and I try my best to charge my case these up after every shift but sometimes I forget but it not a huge deal. They easily last me through those 2-3 consecutive shifts. Not an audiophile...but these sounds amazing and feet my needs in that department. I'm not sure if it worth buying these if you owned the first version, I can't attest to that but I really enjoy these Beats Buds. Connectivity to the iPhone and android is top tier. I own both an android and iPhone and switch connection of the studio buds between the two phones often mostly while at work.

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

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

I’ve been big fan since beats started, and this little buds are perfectly, the quality sound is amazing, it comes whit four different size to fit well, The transparent color is just awesome , I can say this is one of my favorites products from beats and the noice cancellation and transparency mode are just something else , they works amazing comparativewhit othe buds ..

This Product Is Excellent Quality Sound, Active Noise Cancelling Super Light Weight, Extremely Comfortable, Fast Charging, and Long Battery Life, Easy Connectivity.

My wife washed my pants with my airpods in them so I got these because I didn’t want to spend the extra on airpods pro and wow these are basically the same. Sounds great, battery lasts a long time on the charging case and the buds, USB C charging which is great, and noise cancellation is very comparable, although noticed just barely worse noise cancellation on flights. The downside to the beats though are there is no detection for it to know when the buds are in your ear so it doesn’t pause if you pull one out, and the other downside is it doesnt autoconnect to your other apple devices nearby like the airpods did. You would have to click into bluetooth on whichever desired device and manually change them over.
