Astell&Kern – which yes, has great sound, but also costs as much as a used car. If not for their comfortable earpads – we’ll talk more about these below – we would have to give Beats the worst rating for over-ear headphone design quality. The matte finish on the headphones does little to salvage the style, and if anything, acts as a dust and dandruff magnet. Beats by Dre Studio3 Wireless is supposed to leave a lasting impression of strength and passion for sound, with a quality that earns their $350 price tag. After getting our hands on the cheap, plastic material of the headphones – we’ll talk more about this below – we prayed that the money would be in the audio. I’m usually a little more lenient with Beats products because I know they’re going to sell anyway, but the Studio3 Wireless isn’t worth the original $350 USD.

Using Apple’s W1 chip, connections are the easiest and most useful part of the Studio3 Wireless. Having said that, it’s almost sad that proximity pairing and connectivity is the only good thing about this pair of headphones. It’s also worth noting that newer products, like the aforementioned AirPods Pro, use an even faster chip to connect.

On a warmer day or sitting in a room with the heat on, my ears sweat a bit, but the padding allows them to cool down. The Studio3 earned one of the lowest scores we awarded to any model with active noise cancellation. With this isolation level, most low to medium volume noise is blocked out, but some muffled speaking sounds and loud noises can make their way through. I mainly used the headphones in the streets of New York and on the subway. While the noise canceling is a slight step behind those of the Bose’s and Sony’s, I was still pretty impressed. It’s significantly more effective than the previous model’s noise cancellation.
