Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over Ear Headphones Review
Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling over Ear Headphones offer an ergonomic fit and premium feel as well as good audio quality. They are a great noise cancelling device and an extended battery life. They are compatible with iOS and Android devices and are simple to connect to.
The headphones are equipped with Apple's W1 chips which make it easy to pair them and switch between Apple products. This is a huge benefit for Apple users.
Sound
The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are a bit of a departure from the original model. The headphones are lighter and more comfortable thanks to more sleek design and Pure Adaptive noise cancellation that reduces low frequency
noise cancelling headphones to help you concentrate. The headphones come with additional features, including an integrated microphone that allows the use of these headphones to make phone calls.
The sound quality is exactly what you'd expect from Beats headphones. While Beats headphones have a reputation for being overly bassy, they're not. The Studio3s have a balanced sound, with clear vocals and precise instruments.
The Studio2 Wireless are not as great as high-end headphones from Bose however, they're still superior. Active noise cancellation (ANC), while fantastic in reducing background noises is not perfect. For instance, it's not as effective at tuning out the loud drone of a plane as true ANC headphones, and
earphones you may hear low-mid frequencies when ANC is off.
The Studio3s can be controlled using a a central button located behind the Beats logo on the left earcup. A single press plays and pauses the music, while triple and double presses allow you to skip tracks or return to previous ones. The button is surrounded by volume controls embedded in an elongated plastic ring.
These headphones pair automatically with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad if you're part of the Apple ecosystem. They also connect to iCloud. They can be used alongside other Bluetooth devices and switch between them without delay in audio or visual. The Bluetooth connection is strong and stable, with a good distance and no dropouts.
The Studio3s boasts an impressive battery life. You can listen for up 22 hours with ANC and wireless which is more than twice as long as the previous model's play time. You can also use the 3.5mm plug to continue listening even after the battery has run out.
Design
The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones look similar to what they did three years ago, but are loaded with new technology. Apple's W1 chip allows for easy pairing and switching of iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad. The headphones also support fast charging, with 10 minutes of power that result in 3 hours of playback.
The headphones have an over-ear design that rest comfortably around the ears. The headphones are available in Shadow Gray or
earphones Porcelain Rose. They also come in Matte Black, Matte White Blue, Red, and Matte Black. The earcups on the headset are padded with soft cushions that have the feel of rubber. This may not be everyone's favorite but they're comfortable to wear for long periods. The headband is a little on the snug side and makes for a great seal, but it's also padded and soft.
A small button on the left side of the ear cup controls the basic functions like answering calls and playing music. The buttons above and below the Beats logo alter the volume, while double tapping will advance the song or switch tracks. The headset also features a small bottom-mounted multifunction button that allows you to turn the headphones on and off, enable ANC by pressing two taps, and then put them in pairing mode by holding it down for several seconds. The headset comes with an audio cable as well as remote control that can be used to make calls with non-wireless devices.
Pure ANC is a tweaked version of the noise cancellation found on Beats headphones that claim to remove distortion from noisy environments like trains that are crowded or a busy office. We tried the feature on a mix of music from a variety of genres and it was capable of reducing distracting sounds to a light whooshing that didn't cause irritation to the ears. We found that the sound from passing cars and the reverberation of the subway tunnel remained present.
Beats Studio3 wireless headphone is a great option for those who wish to keep their music separate from the background noise. They're also light and have a comfortable fit that is comfortable even after long hours of wear.
Battery life
Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones use two lithium batteries with high efficiency that provide 22 hours of battery life, even with active noise cancellation off. This is a significant amount of time, though not as long as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II or Sony WH-1000XM2.
As one would expect as expected, the Beats Studio3 Wireless make use of Apple's W1 Bluetooth connectivity chip. This means that they pair up faster and are more reliable than other wireless headphones. They maintain their excellent range and can be used away from your smartphone without the signal dropping. That's a huge benefit for those who plan to do any traveling using headphones.
The Beats headphones come with a tough protective case and the cable comes with a 3.5mm input so you can listen to music on devices that are not wireless. The case folds flat, and the cable comes with a built-in remote and microphone to make calls.
The "b" logo is a multi-function button on the left ear cup. A single press will pause the music or play it, and a second press will skip to the next song. A triple-press will rewind to a previous track. You can also hit this button to get your phone's intelligent assistant.
The right earcup is home to the power button, as well as five LED indicators which let you know what battery life is left. These lights aren't as clear like those on ANC-enabled Bose models, but they give you an idea of how much battery is left. If the active noise cancellation is off by double-tapping on the power button will turn it on. it.
The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphone's design is optimized for iOS devices. That limits their usability on other platforms, which renders the remote control that's integrated into the cord ineffective. You can connect them to Android phones but you will require an application from a third-party to manage the headphones. Apple's hard optimization may be a problem for some users, particularly those who intend to use the headphones with multiple devices. Beats might come out with an updated model in the near future that is compatible with other platforms.
Controls
The Studio3 Wireless headphones are equipped with a variety of control options. In contrast to other Beats headphones most of them are located to the left (apart from a power button on the right). The 'b' logo is located on the left earcup. By pressing it once, you can play or stop the music. By pressing it twice you can skip to the next track and three times, you can return to an earlier track. You can also hold the logo to activate the phone's intelligent assistant.
Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are not only perfect for listening to music they also function as a noise cancelling pair. The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones use an in-ear microphone cup that constantly monitors the surrounding environment. With Apple's W1 chip as well as Beats audio processing, the adaptive noise cancellation is always in place. The headphones can even adjust to your fit, and correct leakage caused by glasses, hair and ear shape variations.
When you are not using your headphones they can be folded and keep them in a convenient case that can be used as display.
