Yeah, but if they also had those (bonus) Apple features then they’d be a good draw for people into the ecosystem.

Main reason is that Apple can use brands like beats to try things with lower standards. They are very stringent when it comes to the Apple brand.

There's more to it then that

Sony waaaaaaaaaay better

He is saying this is the best Apple Headphone, doesn't mean its the best in the market.

@@Carlos1116 but given many say Sonys is the best in the market, it’ll be a useful comparison

You'd think an ANC headphone review would mention those exact points but not on youtube i guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

They’re okay headphones at best lol. I wouldn’t have gotten them if I didn’t get a discount

You still haven't, because these aren't great lol

...and you were correct.

@@RichieLanderoshowd you get a discount on such a new product?

@@mambaforever24.working retail most likely

a lot of music sofwares do come in with eq settings

The only issue with the way Sony does it is occasionally I'll set the EQ to something like high treble or extra base and forget about it. Then I'll spend the next week wondering why my headphones are hurting my ears lol

Apple has never made good headphones/earphones. Especially featurewise

@@corruptedsquid1745you think the AirPod pros aren’t good feature wise? With swiping on the stem for volume changes ? The same tap features and all. How are those not good? Also best noise cancellation on wireless earbuds

@@toptiertech7291 those are horrible in nearly every aspect, especially sound quality. The nothing ear 2s cost around 150€, and have a lot better sound quality and more features, than 300€ airpods. And, the bose quietcomfort 2 are better at the only thing airpods do remotely good, noice canceling. You can get those tap and swipe feature on 30€ wireless earpuds now. Airpods are one of the worst earbuds on the market

Imo they don't compare at all with the max because of the missing features. Also they look and feel cheap. The max feel premium.

The Beat fit pros compete with the AirPod pros, both gens. Mostly because of function and the Fit pros are decent in noise cancellation and transparency

@@kindplanet1 I have both the beat fit pros and airpods pros, and airpods max. The beat fit pros is close to the airpods pros than these beats are to the airpods max. But there really isn't any alternative to the airpods pros and max that are *equal*. The alternatives are all worse in some key ways

@@ChristofferLund That's the point... they are missing a few features and their material is cheaper... but that's it... they are solid wireless headphones...

​@@ChristofferLundfeeling premium is probably the worst part of the airpods, those things are way too heavy

can confirm this, and the fact my ears were touching the inside of the headphone made it uncomfortable after 30 minutes. switched to the bose 700 and they’re still going almost 4 years later

Yeah I had that same issue

Absolutely with you on this! Every time I want to wear my sunglasses, I have to remove the headphones.

I'm also a glasses wearer. I only noticed that with certain materials that the glasses are made from. I have a pair of carbon fiber Ray Bans I've had for year, and never had that pressure issue. But with certain pair of Warby Parkers with a thicker plastic I do.

@@HarlemsFinest85 guys just buy a pair of beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO

I feel the exact same. My solo pros broke and I grabbed the studio 3s, good headphones but the buttons and feel would make me switch back to my solos in a heartbeat…plus the design was really sexy.

The sound is still terrible, just get sony ones.

just wait for the new bose qc ultras coming out soon

Just get some sonys , Bose or senhissers

​​@@-xnnybimb-9398you down graded from the solo pro to the studios 😅

Just a few clicks unless you’re lazy

Dang bro I actually prefer not having multi connectivity. My Sony's are always trying to connect to everything and it becomes more work than just switching devices by pressing a button

@@jblack8502it’s not just a few clicks for single point devices when they’re already connected to a device. i’m not the biggest fan of it because it destroys audio quality, but the difference in availability is huge

Just take your headphones off to answer?

You can answer iphone calls on iMAC, macbook. Am amazed MKBHD didn't knew about this feature. Even if your phone is not connected to headphone at all. wired or wireless. Such a great feature. What can we expect from a guy who gets paid for promoting junk.

you dont pay 3 billion for a company that you think cant stand on there own. 3 billion tell beats was doing great.on there own....

😂 you're funny

lol how about they were just overdue for a refresh it’s been a long time.

You’re wrong

Have you ever tried the Beat Fit Pros?!? They’re INCREDIBLE!! Great for working out or daily use. Small, and pack a great sound. Especially the bass!

I LOVE my mixrs! I got my neon blue set when they came out still mint minus 1 or 2 chips but the paints soooo thick!

Oh how sad.. my condolences! Because yeah.. that sound is certainly, certifiably, reliably baaad!

@@SuperknullischLol right, you don't even need to be an audiophile to feel robbed after putting on any decent pair of cans in the $100 range. From muddied nonsense to noticing new sounds in songs played 100s of times previously.

do your Beats Studio buds have spatial audio or dolby atmos ?

@sunb1ind Tbh.. I'm a bit confused by your reply, as I'm not quite sure whether you're being ironic/sarcastic, or agreeing with my comment 🤔

do you recommend xm4 instead of this pro ? thank you

I’d be shocked if it were any better, but if he didn’t even mention it In the video I have to imagine it’s at least comprable

This is why I don’t see him as a true reviewer. Not sure how this wasn’t mentioned!

@@josephhodge5387exactly a NC headphone review without the NC part….

C'mon bro, there's thousands of comments on this video already. Do you honestly think he's going to see your comment and respond to it? 🫤

other comparisons I've seen have said they're not as good but still good, noises are a few dB louder compared to APM or XM5

The chip is what I was most excited for 😢

are they good for big ears?

@@quake721 nope, go check them out, or even look at other reviews that aren’t clearly paid for by apple

@@quake721 Ehh, sorta, I've had two pairs of Beats Studio and they still sit on top of your ears' edges, so you'll feel some discomfort after an extended period of time if you've got large ears. Mind you, I'm talking hours here. On the plus side, these don't have that weird airplane cabin pressure feeling that some other headphones have such as Bose's QCs.

Bro I love my apple max but like you said they're to damn heavy, I fell asleep and woke with the biggest headache in the world.

What video is that ?

and they are both hot garbage. Seiously, if you have ever heard Airpods 2 Pro, Sony's in-ear XM4s or Galaxy Buds 2 pro they absolutely destroy Sony's over-ears

Beats were actually less bass heavy than the xm5s. Crazy world we live in

​​​​@@kylerclarke2689 why are you comparing in-ears/earphones with over ears?

@@kylerclarke2689 the airpods pro destroys nothing at all. The xm5s are way better in every category

Over ear are SO MUCH BETTER for people who actually workout properly. In ear falls out when you do anything worth your weight

Don’t understand why people use headphones for the gym bc they get really hot and uncomfortable and have no water resistance also after a few workouts will have a sweaty ass smell to them and u also cant remove the earpads on these so good luck getting rid of the smell

What's the outro track?

Well it's not rlly beats, it's apple

@@reflex6311plus they haven’t even been working on beats since they started working on their own headphone line up

the airpods max cups pop right off, they are magnetic and super quick to swap

Try sweat covers from wicked cushions

Yes, they will. But that is an industry-standard. Every fake leather stuff is going to disintegrate as soon as the chemicals used to make the material soft evaporate. There is nothing you can do about it. If you want good Headphones with lasting earcups you have to go for real leather. Everything else will eventually turn to goopy oil or flaky stuff again. Btw. it has nothing to do with sweat and oil in general, it just accelerates the process.

HyperX has replaceable ear pads that you can buy third party or possibly from them

@@andrhamm and they also cost like 70usd lol

You got it. Apple is catering to literally the whole market. That’s why they still used the beats name. Even non Apple users will be able to get all of those things

idk why my microphone on mine is trash and it the model cracked easily nonflexible for me

You just described my experience with the studio 3 also!

Lol i just installed my new earpads today after 5 years. And i got that feeling like when i first got them.

Who cares if cheap. If it works and you like it then go

Mine have been through hell and back and still sound great I can’t complain

def

I like saying to people that beats may not be technically great sounding headohones but it sure is a fun sounding headphone.

What made you change 2 times? What was missing from each previous causing you to upgrade?

They're not that good if you need 3 pairs of them

if someone doesnt like bass they arent a true "audiophile". clear powerful bass not muddy bass is always nice. should try the skullcandy crusher evos.

@@twinturborayyou know beats came out 15 years ago right? A new pair every 5 years just happens bro 😂😂

Which kinda makes sense, and also doesn't. I was waiting for these because I assumed OF COURSE they're gonna have an H chip in them. But since they don't, they have zero features that put them above Sony or Bose headphones. So instead of buying an Apple product, I'm gonna by the competition.

honestly i think they failed at that anyhow. id gladly take no h chip and slightly worse transparency mode (who cares that much about that anyway) for the $200 discount.

@@bmgoff2011 Well I wanted these to watch movies with my wife over our Apple TV without waking the kids and you need an H chip for that AFAIK.

@@shrtrnd6706why would you need an h chip for that? You can connect any Bluetooth headphone to the apple tv

@@markercrayon457to share audio wirelessly with two different devices, they need the h chip. Otherwise the sounds goes to one device only

If it becomes a pattern, it likely means Apple will be divesting the beats brand or kill it all together. It's a suspicious omission.

Because most users aren't in apple. And we would like quality headphones to use as well :)

Apple ecosystem issue. You can't dock points off of them for not having Apple features because this isn't an Apple product. Apple may own beats, but beats is still their own entity.

I think the intentional nerfing of these headphones are a sign that Airpods Max 2 is coming soon.

@@Randomness662nah they just did it to make sure it doesn’t eat into next gen AirPods Max sales. It is Beats by Apple

I grew up in the 80's and 90's also and could barely afford a walkman, but they were very cool and I couldnt live without my bootleg indie and punk rock cassette collection, and at the time the headphones were fine for what they were....However, Forget all that for now, go get yourself some Airpods Max, connect it to your iPad or apple TV 4k, turn on a movie, and prepare to frown at every headphone youve ever heard.

My problem is I can't justify the price for these Beats or any Beats headphones.

Yeah sounds like my brother, he’s in construction and uses some type of “Walmart brand” wireless ear buds and loves just listening to music. All these features and him having an iPhone 10 he didn’t understand the “invisible ink” text feature from a buddy and I tried to show him oh that’s easy just do this and he said he’d rather not know how to use it hahaha basic is nice but he does like some luxury but pretty basic not tech savvy

The only. Beats headphones headphones that still had that car audio subwoofer sound and the loud volume is the og beats pros 2010 to 2021 after that they got discontinued I have my 6 beats pros I got in the pandemic but now they are hard to find

@juwanhowardhll8019 agreed o only had the studio 2s and then the 3s and when apple took over its like the volume went down something crazy and like you said the subwoofer sound like being in your car disappeared. I love music with bass so for me it was a huge drop in sound quality that was the only thing that made me buy beats over other headphones. I actually use galaxy bud 2 pros now over my beat 3s

@@bmrtkd true they also killed the beats mixer in 2013 it was a smaller baby beats pro by monster

this has been true for a very long time now it seems. I think the first time I saw beats was in highschool and my 60$ headphones from the local guitar shop sounded much better although most beats owners would not admit it. I think people are too caught up in the marketing and don't understand what they are buying, kind of like the kids when I was in high school. I think for some beats are more about status maybe than sound quality

Sherlock Holmes………he lives!

​@@davidlewis1787I see what you did there...

It became the "must have" thing even though they sucked. It's like they never heard a good pair of headphones.

@@unitedhybrid187that’s typically how mainstream trends work, overhyped and something for the masses (not a specific target audience)

those are beats flex, and they only have icloud pairing meaning you neeed to tap their icon to switch. these have that feature but dont have automatic switching of the newer beats and airpods.

These do have hands free siri

Auto switch gets annoying

@@bangalybashir94fr I don’t like it

Well with wear and use that’s normal no matter what ear cushions. You just have to replace the cushions.

@@lovemetrueblue2109wear and use is normal, but beats just DONT hold up on the long term. ive had the powerbeats( i dont rmbr the version sory😭), solo 3 wireless’s, AND studio 3 wireless. ive had to replace all of them within the first year, and replace both of the headphones TWICE within the two years ive had each all due to physical issues. the top headband cushion would peel off. the sides would crack and the hinges broke. the ear cups peeled like a 20 year old cheap leather couch-and they just looked NASTY. I still have them, and the only thing they’re held together by is copious amounts of tape😭. compare that to the sony 1000 xm4’s, ive had them for 1.5 years and they still look and feel brand new. the only edge id give to the beats is that theyll replace ur beats for free under warranty.

like the build quality is FINE if u dont use them too often, but if u depend on using them daily its just not a good option (im autistic so i usually have in either my headphones or airpods pro 247)

It’s super easy to change them out

I’ve had my studio 3 for like 10 years and only replaced the EarPods once

I just ordered some from target for 169

just bought them for 160 too👍👍

160 gang lmao. I also just put an order in

Hey gang! At least on my iPad I was underwhelmed by the volume and punch, but found out that the adjustment of volume on the headphones lives separately than the volume of the OS. Once I turned it up to max on the headphones, the adjustments on the iPad itself was much better. I also found that playing with the equalizer settings in the settings app for Apple Music was needed to get the sound I was hoping for. It got there, though! I think it was well worth the price 👍

@@Janus1000 what eq do you use for apple music

For me the studio 3s have always been a great buy, because i got them on discount. However the hinges on them were plastic and suffered from snaps after a couple hundred folds. (Year of use) if they fixed the shoddy plastic in this gen it may be worth waiting to see which retailers have these on discount eventually. In my eyes they still arent $400 worthy
