Upgrade from the Beats Studio 3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.
