Beats Studio Pro Kim Special Edition Wireless Headphones

Several bad things about these. They are uncomfortable to wear for long periods, like if you wear them all day... They also grab onto your hair if you have long hair and pull your hairs out. Very painful. They also have really poor noise cancelling; If I could describe it, there are like these artifacts in the sound... for instance, if someone is talking in a video, it sounds like a demon is also talking at the same time saying all the same things when their voice hits some of the higher or louder frequencies, you know? It's very noticeable, as like an imperfection in the audio quality, and I never had that problem with other headphones I've used before. And that also leads to discomfort in the listening. Other cheaper headphones have better noise cancelling without ... MoreSeveral bad things about these. They are uncomfortable to wear for long periods, like if you wear them all day...

It's very noticeable, as like an imperfection in the audio quality, and I never had that problem with other headphones I've used before. And that also leads to discomfort in the listening. Other cheaper headphones have better noise cancelling without the degradation in audio quality. You also can't turn the audio processing off, there are only two modes, transparency and noise cancelling. Other headphones have a 3rd mode (normal mode) to turn both modes off, so that they don't affect the audio at all. Too bad these don't have that feature. These are actually painful and uncomfortable to use; uncomfortable, poor audio quality, lacking features, and overpriced for what was delivered, in my opinion. Anyone who thinks these are good haven't tried other cheaper headsets which are actually higher quality! I only got these to use while I wait for my Anker Soundcore Space One's to be replaced by warranty claim. I will be returning these for a full refund as soon as I get those again. Now I understand why not very many people buy these. If they were actually good for the price, more people would buy them. They're purely for the looks and the shock and awe value of "Oh, you got beats, oh you're so cool!", but in the end, they suck as headphones, and that's not cool, in my opinion. I'll be looking at these from now on as a sign that someone was misguided enough to buy them, and I'll feel sorry for them that they spent so much and that they were suckered into buying something because of societal pressures and desire to fit in and be accepted by others. I was really hoping for better coming from Apple. It seems that all Apple wants to do anymore is put out poor quality products and charge a high price for them, claim to be the best, and claim that if you can't buy Apple that you must be poor or something. They think they can capitalize on their popularity forever, even if they put out poor quality products. Not this time, I'll be getting a full refund on these. I'd short Apple's stocks after hearing and using these.

Sound Quality Arguably the most important feature in any form of listening device is the sound quality. With the Beats Studio Pro, I found that they produce a perfectly well-rounded sound balance with just enough bass and vibrancy. Unlike Apple’s wireless earbuds, AirPods, the sound never lacks to be crisp. The Beats brand tends to cater towards using these headphones for more musical purposes and when listening to music it feels as though I’m in the front row of a concert, showcasing the impeccable audio profile this device has. However, at times I find that the audio does not go as loud as I wish it would and I cannot differentiate whether it is the headphones fault or mine, as a person who is accustomed to listening to things on maximum volume.

Unlike Apple’s wireless earbuds, AirPods, the sound never lacks to be crisp. The Beats brand tends to cater towards using these headphones for more musical purposes and when listening to music it feels as though I’m in the front row of a concert, showcasing the impeccable audio profile this device has. However, at times I find that the audio does not go as loud as I wish it would and I cannot differentiate whether it is the headphones fault or mine, as a person who is accustomed to listening to things on maximum volume. Noise Cancellation In addition to the great sound quality, the Beats Studio Pros also have a more unique noise canceling feature, which is seen less in common headphone types such as Beats. Under the noise control tab, I am able to switch my sound device from transparency mode, where I can still hear the setting around me, to noise cancellation mode, where any outside noise is muffled and undetectable when audio is playing; both features can also be turned off to remain on a standard mode. When I was on the market for a suitable pair of headphones, I specifically sought out this feature due to typically having to study in loud settings where I can’t remain focused because of too much noise. I am happy to say these Beats did not disappoint under the noise cancellation category, many times I am not able to hear a single external sound when audio is playing through the headphones. Although, a disadvantage to this is the pressure that comes with the noise cancellation feature and as a person susceptible to migraines it often induces my headaches. Battery Life As someone who strongly dislikes the tedious task of charging devices, the Beats Studio Pro headphones have an impressive battery life which is such a pleasure. Their extensive battery performance, which is said to last up to 36 hours, make them more reliable and less of a hassle to take around. In my past experiences with wireless audio devices, I have found that their battery life decreases rapidly over a short period of time and I am left charging them more frequently. Although I have not had these headphones long enough to tell, I am currently able to go a full work week without having to charge them once, which is one of my favorite qualities. Appearance These headphones have an appealing sleek model with a modern design. They come in neutral colors of brown, beige, black, and dark blue, all fitting into the current trend. Their appearance makes them not only functional, but a stylish accessory to wear around, whether in use or not. One negative physicality of the Studio Pros is that fingerprints are easily visible and rather difficult to wipe off, leaving all marks prominent in bright lighting. While these headphones are very comfortable and sturdy, after long periods of wear I find myself needing to take them off for a moment either from pressure or ear irritation, which is still found in the majority of other types of headphones. Overall Opinion I find the Beats Studio Pros to deliver outstanding sound performance at a suitable price, compared to its competitors, with a fashionable appearance. Despite a few minor complaints, I am satisfied with my purchase and the high-quality of this product.

• Noise cancellation is pretty good. Sound quality is decent but not worth the price in my opinion. I got these half off on Black Friday and for that price I’m fairly happy, but my old Sony WHCH710N offer comparable (though marginally worse) sound quality/noise cancellation for around $100 USD. • They’re comfortable for short lengths of time but are quite heavy and the headband irritates the top of my head if I wear them too long. • Battery life is great. A single full battery charge lasts me days. • Bluetooth connects automatically to my iPhone most of the time, but it struggles to connect every now and then. A mild inconvenience but I can usually get it sorted out within a couple minutes. • They’ve gotten kind of dinged up in one area. This can probably be ... More• Noise cancellation is pretty good.

This can probably be prevented by using the provided carrying case, but I was a little disappointed to see that even just being in my backpack with a notebook and fabric pencil case was enough to create these little dings on such expensive headphones. • Long haired people BEWARE! These WILL pull out your hair. The headband attaches to the speakers with these little rubbery pieces that catch hair super easily. It’s a real pain to untangle your hair from them when you can’t even take them fully off your head because your hair is so tangled in them. Shouldn’t be an issue for people with short hair though. Those are just the pros and cons that are important for ME, and in my opinion this product is worth the price. If there’s a good deal going on then maybe consider, but it might be worth your time to look around at other options first.
