Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought a pair of Sony WH-XB900N's in 2021 here on BBY and was curious to Hear the new technology that may be out there. I chose these Beats Studio Pro. In 2021 I spent $199 on my Sony's. I spent $299 on these Beats on "sale" from $349. I really am puzzled as to why these things get such great user reviews here on BBY. For the price, comfort, and quality of sound, I've seen better options for one third the price of these... like the JBL's on this site. I use these headphones (and my Sony's) primarily for watching movies/TV using my iPhone & Roku app (Bluetooth) and occasionally on my PC via Bluetooth. Let's start with the GOOD: The noise canceling on these Beats are outstanding. Actually, in a side-by-side comparison, the Beats have better noise cancellation than my Sony's. I also like the actual volume up/down buttons versus the touch/haptics on my Sony's. Other than that, after 3 weeks of using these, I'm finding little good to say about these very expensive headphones. In a comparison with my less expensive, 3-year-old Sony's, here's what I DO NOT LIKE: > The bass isn't there. Sony wins easily. > The sound isn't as crisp or full spectrum - seems kind of shallow, one-dimensional > The lack of a phone app and/or equalizer is inexcusable. In order to have access to EQ functions, you must wear these corded to your PC via USB-C (I've failed to connect to my iPhone using a cable). Therefore, you have no way to adjust the levels of your audio. > Less comfortable on the ears and head than the Sony. Full disclosure, I do have a large head. But even the ear cushioning isn't as comfy as Sony. > They seem too plasticy for me. While the build quality is good, I think they could be a lot better, especially at this price. Also, while I do like the actualy volume up/down buttons vs the touch haptics of my Sony, the buttons also seem too cheap/clicky. These would be great headphones priced at $99. These are not worth $299. If I could return them, I would. But I misplaced the original packaging. I'll give them to my kid instead. In summary, these are great headphones if you can find them new for $99. At the $299 price, there are many other better options on Best Buy.

The beats are perfect for me as an athlete as I can warmup with them comfortably. Additionally, as a college student theyre perfect for my online classes and just everyday use as well.

This was a gift for my son on his 14th birthday. I tried them out and are amazing. The noise cancellation is awesome.

Amazingly clear sound, bass could be better when using bluetooth

Great product great value Best Buy has great products and prices

Great! This is exactly what I needed. I work from home and these beats were the answer to my prayers. Lol

Perfect noise cancelling headphones! Great for when you need to unwind and relax, or blast and dance! I tell all of my friends about how great they are.

Loved the item, i will always stay with this brand.

The sound is amazing, you can feel it as much as it is clear.

Very good, clear sounds, and excellent noise conciliation

Beats are always a brand you can count on. My 13 year old loves them.

Excellent purchase, Very good article And good price

For a open box item its was in good shape .there are a few connections problems but work good

The sound is great. The reason for the 3 stars is because these headphones are so uncomfortable to me. Not sure if it's the clamping force or the cushions but they really hurt my ears. They hurt my ears so much that I was thinking about returning them but I read somewhere that they get more comfortable after wearing them for a while. They are more comfortable than the first week I had them but still not comfortable. Now for the price I got them which was $179, they may be considered a steal but I would have paid more for comfort. I'm hoping that as more time goes by these headphones will be more enjoyable to wear.

Really love the sound quality from them! They really have a great fit and finish!

Got it on sale so made it worth the buy. Easy setup.

My granddaughter asked for this and was very excited when received
