The ear comfort is HORRIBLE. The way it sticks out is tragic. The sound is AMAZING. FUNCTIONALITY is great and simple. Pairing is flawless. Love the transparency look.

I love the fact that I can use each bud separately. But what I don’t like is the fact that they keep falling out my ear when I’m working. But overall I love them.

Ordered these because I wanted to switch up from AirPods. Love the look of these & the sound is ok just not better than AirPods sound. People can’t hear me very well while on phone calls either.

The Beats Studio Buds + deliver a fantastic audio experience — crisp sound, and a comfortable fit for extended wear. So why the 1-star rating? Simple: the microphone is a disaster.
When I got my first pair, I was genuinely impressed… until I took a call. Whether it was WhatsApp, Messenger, or a regular phone call, the mic would inexplicably drop every few minutes. And by “drop,” I don’t mean the headphones disconnect — they stay connected, but the person on the other end suddenly can’t hear you. Sometimes, instead of silence, they’re hit with a sharp, high-pitched noise from your side. You might think that switching to your phone speakers and switching back will fix it, or disconnecting and reconnecting your earbuds will fix it, but it doesn't. The only temporary "fix" is by hanging up the call and calling again.
A quick Google search for “Studio Buds + mic drop issues” reveals I’m not alone — Reddit and Apple forums are full of complaints. Some users report limited success by forcing one bud to act as the mic, but that didn’t help me.
I exchanged them at Best Buy (they were very good about this even though I was a few days outside the return window) and gave the same model another shot, just to rule out a hardware fluke. Sadly, the issue persisted on the very first call. That’s when I returned them and went with regular AirPods 4 instead — no issues since.
If you never plan on using these for calls, you might love them. But if hands-free communication is even slightly important to you, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. AirPods, or frankly most other brands, won’t leave you talking to yourself.
