Initial review and comparison to other brands
By philip seitz on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2023
I love these earbuds. They feel definitely worth the price and a all around great buy. Giving me exactly what I was looking for. For years I have used the raycon E55 and some of the features I loved about raycon was the manual button in the earbuds, excessive bass and great inside-ear fit. Recently however, raycon has gone the way of the world— they have put sensors on the earbuds in the place of buttons and Balanced out the audio. So I began my search for new earbuds. —THE SOUND— Both the AirPods, galaxybuds and raycons I have tried tend to be balanced and prioritize giving equal notes to all instruments For a clear and concise sound, But to someone who is not an audiophile it sounds very flat and devoid of the punch that I desire. For me- I want it to be great sounding but also noticeably bass heavy. These Beats Studio buds deliver. The company recognizes that your not using these to analyze a song. These are for the people who like bass and want to feel some gravitas in their ears! —CONNECTIVITY— These connect effortlessly to iPhone, as if they were AirPods. It was the single biggest factor that blew me away with these. They are incredibly easy to connect. I cannot speak for android but these work great. They do not have a lot of audio adjustments like Bose but I frankly don’t need them to. You can easily see the battery state on both buds and the case from a pop up window in your apple home screen whenever opening the case, just like AirPods. —FIT— The fit is not as good as the raycon E55 but only by a little bit. They fit snuggly in your ears well enough that they do not fall off when running and working out. Although adjustments might need to be made to them occasionally. (I have small ears, so the fit is review as such) —THE CONTROLS— The controls are simple and straightforward. They are just like what you come to expect from earbuds. Single tap, double tap, triple tap. The earbuds HAVE AN ACTUAL BUTTON… which I thought was extinct, I personally hate the sensor buttons because adjusting your earbuds in your ears would trigger the controls. While these do have a very sensitive physical button— it is easy to avoid while adjusting with practice. —BATTERY— The battery lasts me all day, what more do you want? —RANGE— Very good, about 30+ feet —CONS— -no MagSafe compatible charging -fit isn’t as perfect as some brands but is really good -if your an audiophile these earbuds are not balanced Final call- If you like bass, and hate the sensor controls on most earbuds— these very well could be the best earbuds you could get. These are on par with earbuds in the 200$ range. And if your anything like me, you will love them! And if not, they might still be worth it to you —UPDATE— they have a hard time staying in when working out, and so I had to buy wing tips for these. They automatically have active noise cancellation on when you take them out of the case… which I personally hate. And the cases battery is pretty short lived… only lasts two days generally

Truly Terrible Noise Cancelling Not Worth It
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2025
I live in a very loud city and my apartment is on a corner where the noise never stops. I literally need to wear noise cancelling headphones or earbuds 24 hours a day sometimes even to sleep so I consider myself an expert user out of necessity. These Beats Studio Buds have been nothing but a disappointment. Noise Cancelling: Walking around the city they cancel nothing. I can hear traffic car horns people everything. Even inside my apartment I can still hear street noise. For earbuds advertised as noise cancelling they are basically useless. On the subway it is even worse. Unlike my other headphones these do not cancel anything. I can clearly hear conversations around me and the loud screeching and rumbling of the train on the tracks. It is honestly one of the worst attempts at noise cancelling I have ever experienced and makes them unusable for commuting. I also take daily walks in a park that is right next to a highway. With every other pair of headphones or earbuds I have owned I have never heard the roar of the highway because the noise cancelling blocks it out. With these I hear everything. Instead of drowning out the city with music I get a messy mix of car engines honking and music all at once. It is overstimulating and exhausting and completely defeats the purpose of having noise cancelling headphones. Fit and Comfort: The fit was terrible right out of the box. I had to swap ear tips just to make them wearable which helped a little but they are still not comfortable. Other users have reported similar issues saying the earbuds do not fit amazing in their ears and need to be adjusted quite a bit. Weird Glitches: If I touch the earbuds while wearing them they make strange garbling sounds. Very annoying. TV Listening: When I connect these to my TV something I need due to the constant noise even at 100 percent volume they are still too quiet. Every other pair of earbuds I own gets loud enough except these. Battery Life: The charge does not last long enough which makes them even more impractical for everyday use. Some users also report the battery degrading quickly and sound starting to chip or cut out. Audio Issues: I have had problems where only one earbud outputs sound despite wearing both and I have seen other people complain about the same issue. Case Quality and Charging Problems: The earbuds do not fit inside the case as snugly as other brands I have owned which makes them feel less secure. On top of that the charging port is unreliable. Sometimes I think the case is charging but when I come back it is clear it was not. It feels like something is broken with the port itself which is incredibly frustrating. I bought these in November 2023 and in total have used them maybe two to three weeks since then only as a backup when my other earbuds or headphones are unavailable. Every time I put them on I am reminded how bad they are. I honestly do not understand the good reviews. If you truly need noise cancelling like I do stay far away. These are garbage earbuds. If I could get a refund I would. Just adding my two cents so others do not make the same mistake.
