Beats Studio Buds – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds – IPX4 rating, Sweat Resistant Earphones, Compatible with Apple & Android, Class 1 Bluetooth, Built-in Microphone Red

The Beats Studio Buds definitely keep to the Beats premium formula with their design and materials quality; if your after the status symbol that comes with the Beats branding, the Studio Buds definitely keeps with tradition.The Studio Beats come with the features all true-wireless earbuds should come with:Active Noise CancellingAmbient Pass ThroughPlay/Pause/Skip/PreviousAnswer/End/Reject CallsVoice Assistant in iOS with voice command, Android requires button pressMissing Volume control; can only be done via connected deviceAudio Quality is what you would expect from the Beats branding, so no complaints there. Call quality is the same. But I have to admit that I was expecting a bit more. This is the second high end brand I have tried lately expecting to be taken to another level, but unfortunately I feel a little let down. Mostly because the volume level just seems a little too soft; at maximum volume I’m left wanting a little more. Granted it is loud enough to hear, but not quite loud enough to feel immersed.I realize these are not going to bring the same feeling as a set of over-the-ear headphones will, but I have tested others that get louder.Fitment is great, I don’t get any ear fatigue wearing the buds, but over time they do lose their grip from ear sweat. I don’t think you would want these for any type of active use other than just walking or minimal around the house activity. Any kind of up and down movement I feel like I was constantly having to readjust. The default ear tips out-of-the-box were the best fitment for me, so switching the tips would not have made this experience any better.This is hardly an issue that only rests with Studio Buds, rather one that I have found very common for me in trying many different brands. Some have included foam tips in place of the common silicone type to help aid in fitment. I would assume the tips are of a universal nature so it may be possible to purchase foam tips in place of the silicone to allow for more active use.Beats Software is pretty straightforward to use and the button presses are easy to remember. They can be reprogrammed as well. The Studio Buds are designed with a true button, so it requires pinching the buds to be able to push the button without jamming the buds in the ear canal.I don’t have any issues recommending, just understand some of the limitations I have mentioned and align your expectations.

I use them on the train to work, when out walking and in the gym. They're fine for everyday use, the fit is very comfortable and they never feel like they are going to 'pop' out of your ears. The sound quality is pretty good, no EQ which is a shame though as everyone has different sound preferences and I would like a bit more bass. No problem with phone calls as clear enough. Noise cancelling good for the price. Battery life good and charges quickly, oh and I like the bright red colour and the little noises they make when you touch them!

2 faulty items sent. First pair the right earbud had no sound, second pair sent the earbuds played sound when in the case but would disconnect as soon as you took them out to use! An online search showed this to be a fairly common problem. I got these as I really wanted to be able to have the ‘Find my’ function as fed up with misplacing my JBLs but very disappointed. I expected far more from Beats.

I’ve been using various earbuds including AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, Sony, Edifier NeoBuds 2, and now recently got my hands on the Beats Studio Buds. Here’s my take after testing them out for a full day.⸻🔧 Build Quality & Fit – 4★• Made of plastic, but the design looks sleek and modern.• Very small and lightweight – fits really well in the ear.• Comfortable for long listening sessions.⸻🎶 Sound Quality – 4★ (General), 3★ (Heavy Bass Lovers)• Sound is decent and balanced, not too sharp or too flat.• If you love deep bass, heavy beats, EDM, Dubstep, or party music like I do – this may not satisfy you. Bass is present but not aggressive.• For casual listeners or those who enjoy balanced sound with mild bass – this is a solid choice.⸻🔇 ANC & Transparency – Mixed Bag• Outdoor Performance: 3★• ANC blocks around 40–50% of ambient noise in traffic or noisy streets.• Transparency mode feels almost the same as ANC at times – not clearly distinguished.• Indoor Performance: 5★• In quiet environments, ANC works well – can block around 80% of ambient noise.• Transparency mode is more noticeable indoors and works decently.⸻🔋 Battery Life – 4★• Solid battery backup for the price. No major complaints here.• Quick to charge and lasts long enough for daily usage.⸻⚠️ Major Con – Controls• No on-bud volume control! You must adjust the volume from your phone.• That’s a big downside in terms of convenience, especially compared to competitors.⸻✅ Final Verdict: 4★ (Based on Price Range)If you’re a casual listener, or someone who enjoys moderate bass and clean sound, this is a great value-for-money option. For around £120 or less, it delivers solid quality across the board.

I had a pair of cheaper ear buds that were not smart earbuds and they did the job except they only had a 3 hour battery life which in the end wasn’t long enough. So my main reason for buying these was the extended battery life. However now I’ve bought these I love the extra smart features and I love the comfort. The controls are good (once you get the hang of them), I switched one of the buds to control Siri which was useful and I also like the noise modes to switch between. I have no problem with sound quality unlike other reviews and I especially like how they are waterproof as I was always worried about my old ones getting wet. Would recommend these, ok they were a bit expensive but what you get is worth the money. Oh and I LOVE the red colour!

For the price these are excellent anc buds especially for fitness

Really good sound quality

Sounds not so great and that’s if they stay in your ears. I wanted these for working out but spend more time making sure they stay in then actually getting a good workout pace.
