Are they worth $200? CNET editor David Carnoy lets you know everything you need to know about them in his full review.

It seems like Apple might not be very invested in the Beats brand

@ARicardo312 17 күн бұрын

Of course! These are $50 cheaper than the AirPods Pro and $350 cheaper than the AirPods Max, they want everyone to buy those instead

@RichTallent 16 күн бұрын

Of course not! They only bought them to stifle the competition! Just like when Google purchased Waze..

Good to see Beats showing some love to their cheaper headphone line and bringing them up to date in comparison to their most expensive for a good price.

So glad I bought the studio pro two weeks ago when it was 199 at Best Buy. ANC is a must for me.

@Marco-em2in 11 күн бұрын

Good deal while the solo 4 don’t have ANC I’m pretty sure they will block out sound very good to make them feel like they had ANC.

@@itz_adx2005 yeah it’s made quite obvious that they don’t want their own beats Brand competing with any of the AirPods. Especially the more expensive models.

ANC should be mandatory apple doesn’t have on ear headphones or step down model…it’s crazy because beats fit pro model have thier cups wi believe

@cranbers 13 күн бұрын

I think apple will kill the beats brand soon. Why have a separate team, brand etc when they aren't even on par with years old apple tech?

@Gilfordd 12 күн бұрын

The last real good product they had was the beats fit pros. That supported an H1 chip, and skin detection, they probably saw it was competing with Apple’s AirPods so it wasn’t having it so they downgraded all future products with their customized chip (which benefits more Android than Apple 🙄).

Absolutely ridiculous that if have an iPhone the headphones don’t support ‘normal’ multipoint support so you can use the headphones with a laptop and iPhone at the same time

@user-ku7pf1ke6x 17 күн бұрын

No ANC? IMO, ANC is the primary reason to own a modern set of headphones, without it, the price should be a quarter of what they ask.

@Marco-em2in 11 күн бұрын

True but I’m pretty sure they cancel sound pretty good especially when listening to music so it’s like if they had ANC. I mean the guy reviewing who has allot of experience in headphones seemed very happy about them so I’m pretty sure their are good. Hey don’t knock them till you trie them but If you want ANC spend a little more and get the Solo Pro they are usually on sale.

@TacSprint 10 күн бұрын

No, I would say the primary reason to own a modern set of headphones would be to listen to media.

Auto switching is fundamental!!! You listening to your iPad, Mac and a phone call comes in you want it to switch over doing that manually which all other beats buds and every AirPod since AirPods 2 have been able to is a minimum requirement in the real world

I'll be looking into these my Solo 3s are getting old and could go out at any time so I'll have to test the 4s at my local Apple store when they come in and see how they are. Should be a good upgrade since I keep my headphones for 4 to 5 years before upgrading

My studio pro’s microphones are way better than AirPods pro2. That’s true. 😣 but I will admit, that beats are not your everyday “wear”. They are heavy, I personally use them at the gym or as I heard from the different blogger that beats nowadays are more of a fashion statement, rather than headphones

One would of thought apple would of bought a technology rather then a brand. And if they did buy a brand, they would of adapted it and there would be no apple earpod pro and a second brand that isn't even on par. At the very least have two brands both have the same features. No doubt apple will kill the beats brand soon. No doubt they never made their money back buying beats. And their own brand of heads sets in ear and over ear and selling better.
