You’ll find IPX4 sweat resistance on the Studio Buds, making them good for a light run or if by chance you’re accidentally out in the rain, and while they’re earphones with mics and active noise cancellation, they also come with support for Apple’s “Find My”, so you can find them if you lose them, mapping them to your Apple ID, if you have one. It’s a look that isn’t something we’re used to from Beats or Apple, but it has size nailed, making for a small take on earphones from the company with no cords or cables in between. Sporting an ear-tip that pushes into your ear, the “b” of the Beats logo just slightly hangs out in that pinched section, with a small push button at the back. Rather, the Studio Buds look like someone had made a small earphone and then pinched the design at the end, because that is the design. It doesn’t sport the small bud look of the Beats Flex, nor does it have the over-ear clinging design of the Powerbeats Pro, and it doesn’t at all look like the headphones in either the Solo Pro or Studio 3, both of which are due for an update soon. No stem and barely much of a design makes the Studio Buds one of the smallest pairs you’re likely to see, and surprising given it comes from the Apple-owned Beats, because it looks nothing like the other earphones either company makes. Design and featuresĪ little bit different from the regular earphone design imitating the AirPod and its stem, Beats’ Studio Buds are actually much, much smaller. While you’ll typically you need to spend over $300 to get premium sound and noise cancellation, things may well be changing, and in Beats’ latest take, the benchmark on value and quality could now hit the $199 mark. However noise cancellation is just part of what you pay for. The technology that takes a sound from the outside and matches it to one on the inside to cancel out the outside, it can differ greatly in versions, with the premium brands often giving a better noise cancellation than the ones that are less premium.
Now that active noise cancellation is becoming the norm, you can expect to find it in more places. If the noise cancelling feature of the AirPods Pro grabs you but not the $399 price, the $199 Beats Studio Buds could strike the right balance of value and sound.
