Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quiet and doesn’t hold a charge. Not worth the money at all.

The Beats Studio Buds by Dr. Dre are certainly an excellent companion to have - especially with Apple products. The sound is outstanding and the set up and use is very easy and straightforward (especially with Apple products). The sound is on par with other ear buds in this price range, though I would say the bass is heavier and sounds a bit richer. The battery life is excellent. The noise cancellation is also excellent, though you will want to ensure you have selected the correct ear piece to ensure a snug fit. While not as strong as other noise reducing/canceling ear buds I've used in the past, these are really quite good. My only problem with the Beats Buds is the awkward way the buds sit in the case. It seems I am always twisting the buds around and around to get them to settle in to their position within the case. I am sure this is something to get used to, but it's not nearly as easy as other Apple products of similar nature. Overall I give these buds a strong thumbs up. They sound great, pair seamlessly to iPhone/iPad/Mac - and I am sure other devices too - and the noise cancellation is about the same as other noise-cancelling ear buds. 5/5 in my book!

Sound quality was fantastic for the price. These appear to be true studio buds, with very good balance between music tones (I am not a fan of prominent bass). I had no connectivity issues with laptop, phone, or car. Battery is long-lasting. If I hadn't accidentally run them through the laundry, I would probably not need to replace them for several years (mine are a year old with no issues except a buzzing sound since they went into the washing machine). Fit is very comfortable and not bulky. I did not have problems getting them to stay in my ears while running. I will say I did NOT notice much difference between the noise cancellation and transparency modes, which could be improved.

They keep falling off on comfortable to wear her how are you guys I would not ever recommend these to anybody

This is a mostly positive review, with some caveats. To be honest, I go these on sale and the $90 price point is what caught my attention. The normal price was $150. Especially since I already owned Air Pod Pros (G1), I didn't even consider the Beats. But a good sale price along with some Rewards Money sure creates room to experiment. My initial--out of the box--experience was good, but underwhelming. I was almost going to return them. But, I decided to try something. On the AP Pros, I use the Large ear tips. So, I tried the Large Ear Tips for the Beats. WOW! In that instant I learned the importance of using the correct size ear tip. It makes sense: In order to deliver good bass, it needs to command that tiny volume of air in your ear canal. A good seal = good bass. That being said, its Noise Reduction mode is scary good! But, Transparency Mode is nothing like the AP Pros. The sound is really good! Solid Bass, crisp and clear mid and highs. Supposedly there is Spatial Audio support. However, to me, it feels more like W I D E stereo. But very defined. Overall sound is Not on par with the AP Pros, but really really close. Not as light and comfortable as the Pros, but, a good 2nd. Ironically, to balance that argument out, I have noticed that as the ear tips for the AP Pros acclimate to my body temp, they get lazy and slip a bit. Not so with the Beats. The design is really cool. The tips feel secure, and the buds feel locked in to the natural shape of the ear. That being said, if you happen have really small ear canals, and have issues finding buds because of this, then definitely don't buy these. Using my iPhone13Pro, the initial pairing was painless. However, opening the case and just popping them in your ear and having them work flawlessly like you expect, has been a bit tricky at times. I have had issues with one bud working, and not the other, and having to start over. But this has been just a few times. The side control button on each bud is a nice feature for quick pause/resume/etc without having to pull a bud out. That being said, in-ear detection is rather iffy -- if at all present-- as music will continue, even when one bud is out. Bottom line: For around a $90ish price point, you can't go wrong. It's WAY better (and cheaper) than AirPod G3, a better bang for your buck over G1/G2, and cheaper than any Gen. of Air Pod Pros at this time.

I have sort of a love/hate relationship with these headphones. Bit of background, I own a LOT of headphones, and have owned even more that I've sold or given away. I don't really consider myself to be an audiophile, but I've owned some very nice headphones dacs/amps that would be considered by most to be audiophile level gear. It's made me quite critical of headphones in general, but I definitely see the value in convenience at a loss of quality (for example bluetooth is convenient but limits the fidelity of the music due to compression). Enough about me, let's talk Beats Studio Buds. I think most people are going to compare these to the Airpods or the Airpods Pro (as will I on a couple of points) because that's sort of the reigning king of bluetooth ear buds (especially for Apple users). Speaking of which, these being Android friendly is a huge plus that I wasn't expecting since Apple owns Beats now. It does require an app download and initial configuration that adds a few steps over the Apple setup which is identical to airpods (just open the case near an unlocked phone for instant pairing) but none of that is really a deal break for anyone shopping for $150 ear buds. First let's talk about what they do great: they look awesome, they sound pretty good, and the battery life is great. Also, they are (upon inserting) the most comfortable true wireless ear buds I've worn to date. The look: I bought the red variant because I've never bought red earbuds and it seemed like a fun alternative to the usual black or white options. I also like the idea of the case being red because it'll be much easier to spot when they inevitably get dropped between the sofa cushions or fall of out my pocket in the car and end up under/between the seats. The sound: I think most people will agree that these sound good. Some will say they sound really good. I think as far as bluetooth ear buds go they are towards the top of what you can expect and they are overall very enjoyable to listen to. They don't have as much of the bass boosting muddiness as the beats of old and are much more balanced overall. That being said they have a "fun" sound to them, not a flat or neutral sound signature. If you don't understand what any of that means, you'll probably think they sound really great and there is nothing wrong with that. The bass did stay really smooth as well as the mids/highs clear, I never had issues with them getting muddy or peaking even at max volume. This is very impressive at this price point. Transparency mode exists but leaves a lot to be desired. If you are primarily listening to music when you have these in that won't be an issue for you though. The battery life and fit: As mentioned above these things just fit really great. In my experience there were no issues with them staying in my ear and compared to the Airpods pro sticking them in my ear was much more comfortable. However, listening to them over time and especially in transparency mode the airpods sounded more natural which lent to a more comfortable long term fit since it didn't feel like my ears had anything stuffed into them. Battery life has been great, they last a bit longer than my airpod pros and top off really nicely inside the case. I don't think anyone will have an issue with battery life. Now the things I don't care for. The case feels plasticky cheap compared to the airpods and airpods pro case, the mic is barely acceptable (and down right atrocious), the ANC/transparency modes are nice features but not as well executed as Airpods pro. I've already touched on a few of these items but lets just say whenever I used these for phone calls people I regularly talk to would make comments about how bad I sounded or that I don't sound as clear as usual. That being said they could understand most of what I was saying, but there was a very noticeable decrease in quality from my Airpod Pros (or even the phone/speakerphone). The ANC and Transparency modes are a nice inclusion at this price point but you really get what you pay for. The ANC may not be as good as on Airpods pro but it's not as noticeable an issue, especially when the music is playing. With the transparency mode though, you almost forget you're even wearing headphones with the airpod pros. On the beats studio buds your ears feel pretty full and the outside sounds being passed through sound slightly muted and muffled. This is certainly due to the low quality microphones and goes hand in hand with phone calls sounding bad to the other user on these as well. Final thoughts: If you are primarily planning to use these for music I think they are a great ear bud especially at this price point. If you make/take a lot of phone calls, I would highly recommend bumping up to the Airpod Pros or even the regular airpods as they both offer a much higher call quality experience.

These earbuds worked great while they were in my possession. Sound quality was solid, noise canceling did its job, and they were comfortable and easy to use. Unfortunately, they were lost (by my boyfriend), so I can’t speak to long-term durability — but during the time we had them, they performed exactly as expected. No connectivity issues, good battery life, and overall a great listening experience. Would absolutely recommend… and would absolutely consider buying them again (and immediately attaching an AirTag).

Not a bad set of buds. For the money, they sound alright, they fit very well due to their design. Main highlights: -deep bass! -stylish design -USB-C charging!! -native support on both iOS and Android -noise cancelling is great! Main complaints: -buttons on the side need too much force to push. -the transparency mode is just okay -no wireless charging -the case feels a little bit flimsy

Pros - great value for the price - clean aesthetics and doesn’t protrude out your ear as you’d expect - Apple connectivity just like AirPods. I’ve switched from 1 iPhone to an Apple laptop to a Mac Mini seemlessly which was a huge surprise but that’s the beauty of beats being part of the Apple company - Amazing deep low ends and bass -Great battery life for buds, about 5-6hr sessions -Minimally sized case, it’s plastic-y but it’s sturdy. Doesn’t scratch easily -Quick charges - Bud magnets snaps right into the case with ease Cons -Holds in ear well during simple tasks and walks, fairly well when exercising like strength training and HIIT training/plyometric agility movements. I suggest purchasing foam buds to help keep them in and a variety of sizes like an XS ear size that worked much better for me. Curious to try the fit pros to compare. -A few charges out of the case before needing to charge it completely (but not horrible) -No wireless charging Definitely worth the price your investing for them as the biggest thing for me was connectivity and if it was as smooth as owning airpods. IT IS! Plus I wanted something black as I was tired of white buds.

I would say the Beats Studio Buds are good if you are curious about trying the brand for the first time. They sound pretty decent with the right ear tips. Do get the spin fit ear tips from Amazon if you do plan to buy these. It doesn't take them long to charge. However i noticed that the left ear bud battery runs out faster and doesn't always charge the same as the right earbud. They do work good on Android devices but I think you'll probably get more out of them on an iPhone device. If you can catch these on sale; definitely try em.

But I love these Beats Studio Buds! They are light and very comfortable, good fitting and very well suited for long listening sessions and long movies. The sound is excellent as well. The soundstage is large and the quality is bright and lively. Beats have always been known for an aggressive bass posture, something which I’ve found arguably too pronounced in my Beats Studio 2 Wireless headphones over the last four or five years, though they are very good, With these new Beats, the low end remains very strong but not too reverb heavy, The high end is very crisp and sharp while the mids are distinct as well. It’s a very lively presentation that works well with sensitive acoustic music and vocals, propulsive polyrhythms and screaming electric guitars, and lush orchestral music. They also look cool, much more subtle than awkward AirPods and much less of an earful than other brands. I got them in red and they’re a nice contrast to my black and various shades of gray tech. In addition, they work very well with Apple and Android devices alike, pairing easily and quickly with both. I usually use them with my iPad Air or iPad Mini, but they work quite well with the Amazon Fire HD 8s I use as utility devices. Battery life is good as well. They’ve become my favorite gadget. A very god value at list price and unbeatable on sale.

The sound is so bad. Bass isn’t good at all. Disappointed.

I was able to pick these up on sale for $79 and some change. I saw how many reviews had ear fitment issues but i have not had that problem at all. I like being able to switch between noise canceled and transparency mode easily through the app. The battery easily lasts me 6 out of 8 hours working and the case chrges quickly when they are put in. The charging % seems a little odd at times, with the app showing the case having a low charge, but i just plug the case in while im using them and it works itself out. Overall very happy, although this is my first set of wireless buds. I have used so far over 100 hours and they have not fallen out of my ears.

These Beats earbuds completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I unboxed them, I could tell they were built with quality in mind. The sleek, vibrant design turns heads everywhere I go, and the comfort level is unmatched — I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. But what really blew me away was the sound. The audio is rich and immersive, with deep bass and crystal-clear treble that brings my playlists to life. Whether I’m working out, commuting, or just relaxing, the noise isolation lets me stay in my own world. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and the battery lasts me all day with quick recharging. These earbuds are more than just stylish — they’ve become part of my everyday routine. If you’re looking for top-tier performance with a bold look, these are it. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve made all year!

When it comes to just listening, what do you really need? Noise cancellation is good, and both have this. Yes iPods are a little better. Transparency mode is also a little better on iPods Pro, but the Beats have it too. As far as sound, that is where my experience with the Beats to me, is at least as good, I believe they are better. I enjoy the base much better on Beats. Also the Beats stay in my ears much better. As far as charge time, I’ve never had them in my ears that long. With the case that isn’t a problem to me. Finally, the price is great on the Beats. iPods Pro is quite the investment and requires consideration. I lost one of my iPod pros, that’s why I purchased the Beats and if I loose one of these it won’t be such a lost.

First off there great headphones for the price but for what im looking for and what alot of people say there very 1 to 1 with the aiprods pros which there close kinda my take on it is good sound good bass i dont know what it is the but airpods they just deliver the perfect ammount of bass and sound that we all love but as for me the noise cancel works good just nothing like them pros but for sure the battery in these is so much better as for the case lid its thin and flimsy not a deal breaker but for someone looking for a cheaper alternative these are definitely it but do keep in mind you lose siri announcements such as calls and texts but as for the interface it pairs good and very similar to the airpods but in the end i expected similar functionality since these are built mostly by apple they have apple all over it but heres my honest take on these

Love the red! Great bass and fits well in my ear. Also has transparency, noise cancelling or you can turn off both settings. When it’s connected to your phone it’s shows battery life of both ear buds as well as the charging dock. Charges fastttt! I also run like 25-30 miles a week in these. No matter how sweaty I get the earbuds never fall out. I’ve had all kinds of wireless ear buds and these take the cake. Especially the water resistance feature since I live in Florida!

Great as usual! Had to repurchase as I’d unfortunately lost half of my old pair. The price is hefty but it’s worth it for the quality, they’re comfortable for long wear and have insanely good battery life for earbuds. Very nice audio quality from my experience and a lot of cool features especially if you download and utilize the app. Also a location feature (might depend on your device) in case you happen to lose them. The noise cancellation modes work well, but I typically keep them off or in transparency mode due to preference. Never have issues with connection except for an occasional mishap with my iPad when they’re nearby, the device screen sometimes pops up like five times even when I’m not trying to connect, but its easy to fix by just closing the case securely and reopening or connecting to another device if that was the goal. Would recommend, especially if you can catch a sale!

The Beats Studio Buds are an excellent choice if you’re looking for compact, high-quality wireless earbuds. Their design is sleek and comfortable, perfect for wearing for hours without any discomfort. The sound doesn’t disappoint: deep, powerful bass that doesn’t overpower the details. They work great for music, podcasts, and calls. The noise cancellation is effective, ideal for reducing distractions in noisy environments. The battery performs well, offering 5 hours of use per charge and up to 15 hours with the case. Plus, pairing is quick, and they work seamlessly with both iPhone and Android. If there’s one minor thing missing, it’s wireless charging, but honestly, it doesn’t feel like a big deal considering everything else they offer.

Very comfortable earbuds with powerful sound and effective noise cancellation. Easy pairing, stable connection, and good battery life. They feel well built and work great for music, calls, and daily use. Definitely worth it.
