Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones - Apple W1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, Active Noise Cancelling, 22 Hours Of Listening Time - Shadow Grey

Product Information

Some pairs are a little quieter, but this sort of noise is not at all distracting as soon as there’s any audio coming through the drivers. Don’t worry about it, unless your ears are truly anal. The Beats By Dre Studio3 uses microphones to listen to your ambient environment and then matches the frequency to cancel out the unwanted noise, leaving you and your favourite music alone. Leaks caused by movement, hair, hats or spectacles will also be detected and this is very effective indeed. The plus side is that the music is not affected in any way by the active noise cancellation. Battery life lasts for an estimated 22 hours of noise cancelling listening. Pretty impressive to say the least. Get Connected Unless you’re desperate for headphones made of real leather, aluminum or Alcantara, it doesn’t matter too much, though. Beats has been criticized for the build of its headphones over the years, but the Beats Studio 3 Wireless seem perfectly well-built to us.

The plastics don’t creak too much. And there’s a well-judged bit of resistance in the fold-up hinge of the headband that stops the stems from flapping around like broken arms with normal use.Micro USB Cable, Charging Cable, Audio Cable, Audio Cable with In-Line Microphone, Power Supply, Hardcase

The only issue? Those advantages are limited to iOS, to the exclusion of Android users. This means that the Beats Studio 3 will prove either very good headphones or entirely ordinary, depending on your OS of choice. If you’re an Apple user, you can add a half star to the score.

This is a custom wireless chipset that takes the wrinkles out of the connection process when hooking up with an iPhone or iPad. If you’re a fan of Apple devices then the Beats Studio 3 may be for you. For Android users, who won’t benefit from the boost of the Apple W1 chip, the experience is merely average. Similar money can buy you much better alternatives. The Sony WH-1000XM2 or Bowers & Wilkins PX offer a greater number of features and better sound, too. It is, seemingly, designed to avoid distortion caused by cancellation of louder sources. We’ve heard such distortion in pairs from less experienced noise cancelling headphone makers when taking the London Tube, standing next to the door, but haven’t heard any such distortion from the Bose QuietComfort 35. Thankfully, the sound quality and noise-cancelling performance you’re treated to is the same, whether you’re in the iOS or Android camp. The H1 chip is still very good though; it also lets you see the headphones’ battery per cent from the app you’re using to stream, which is handy.
