Beats headphones are well-known for their style and seamless compatibility with Apple devices. Right now, the brand’s flagship headphones, the Beats Studio Pro, are on sale for $169.95 (originally $349.99), the second-lowest price they have been, according to price-tracking tools.
The Beats Studio Pro came out in 2023 with a “good” review from PCMag, praising their sculpted sound, comfort, premium accessories, and spatial audio with head tracking for an immersive experience—but the review warned that hardcore audiophiles might not be as impressed. PCMag also said you can get much better headphones for less than their $349.99 price (which is very true) that have adjustable EQ and better active noise cancelling (ANC). However, at $169.95, these headphones are a great deal, especially if you’re an Apple user.
These headphones have hands-free Siri access, one-touch pairing on iOS and Android devices (through Google Fast Pair), which gives simultaneous connections with up to two devices, and a transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings. Apple users will be able to take advantage of the AAC codecs, which work seamlessly with Apple tech to give much better audio quality. You get a quick-access menu to control the ANC and Transparency modes, and you can also use the Find My app if you misplace your headphones.
What do you think so far?
The biggest miss with the Beats Studio Pro that you would expect any premium headphones to have is adjustable EQ. However, they have plenty of EQ presets for you to choose from. The ANC is slightly above average, which is good for its current price. You can get about 40 hours of playtime at full charge with ANC and Transparency modes off, and a 10-minute charge gives you about four hours of juice.
