These look absolutely dope, they nailed the translucent design. It's so refreshing to see translucent design making a comeback.

I find it absolutely crazy how companies pack so much junk inside these tiny earbuds

Okay, yesterday bought both Airpods Pro 2 and these new Beats. Been doing my homework so this is my most important points opinion: - Sound quality: pretty much the same. Only big difference I found is that APP2 supports more volume, they are louder in a good way. Can here more lows and bass in Beats. Clearness felt the same. Personally I like the more bassy sound of the Beats. Feels more “spatial”. - Looks: Beats look great. So different. AAP2 is the same as 99% of the people have. - ANC: AAP2 wins here. It’s better. No waaaay better cause Beats is really good, but better. - Transparency: AAP2 win by a lot here. Feels like you have nothing in your ears. With Beats is pretty good but you can feel something there. There’s a clear difference here. - Wear Detection: can’t believe Beats don’t have these. Really a must in 2023. This is probably the thing that made me decide for the AAP2. Though it won’t bother me that much but it did. - Comfort: AAP2 felt more comfortable in me. Beats felt a bit lighter cause there’s no stems but I feel a small pressure after 30 min with them on. I’m with the AAP2 since 2 hours ago and they feel 100% fine.

watching this while using my transparent Beats Studio Buds + I LOVE ITT❤❤❤

Just picked these up today to replace my beats fit pro. Honestly, I love how they sound and they are just as comfortable.

During the phone call, it sounded like the earbuds were using the same technology found in the "voice isolation" feature in the latest versions of Final Cut X. If you push Final Cut too hard with that, you get a little bit of high-end distortion, and that's what it sounded like here as well, especially since the earbuds were cutting out so much traffic noise. Still incredibly impressive though.

Just got a pair for Black Friday today at target. On sale for like 20 off. Work just fine. Sounds good. Jobsite for noise control. Notice canceling for whatever reason and almost identical to AirPods

Wow, the clear units are beautiful!!! I need them asap

Really liking the transparent one, wonder if they would yellow like some other transparent plastics

I just bought these today and I’m coming off of the air pods 3rd gen as the AirPods Pro’s air buds don’t stay in my ears but the new beats pods do. I made a call with my AP3 gen and I could hear a slight static type noise, but with the new beats didn’t hear the same thing. Music does sound better as well!

I got the Beat fits pro at launch. Love them.

I used to have the red studio buds, I lost the case with one ear bud in them. Got the clear stud buds + and so they’re great

I recently bought a pair of Airpods Pro 2, primarily to protect my hearing while I am riding my motorcycle. I was a bit apprehensive because I couldn't guarantee that they would fit under my helmet and that they would block enough sound but WOW I was blown away. They block way more sound than my 32db earplugs and my ears are much happier for it. They also fit under the helmet well although I can sometimes get a bit of a drumming sound in my ear if I am going over a bumpy section of road. Overall though I am super happy with the performance of the buds. The sound quality is decent, not as good as the Sennheiser momentum 2 true wireless that I used to own (and by extension, the 3's but I haven't heard them personally) but it is certainly a pleasant sound that isn't lacking in any way. Overall, extremely happy with them. I did compare with the Beats studio buds but I was worried that the slightly more sharp edge of the protruding bit would catch on the helmet when putting it on/taking it off. The Airpods are smoother on the outside so they thankfully slide in and out of the helmet easily. I have only gotten them snagged once when taking off the helmet and I put that down to me not being careful enough as you do have to use a bit of technique. It's easy enough though, just have to be mindful of it. I can't guarantee that they will work for everyone, every ear, every helmet and every motorcycle (depending how loud it is or the frequency of the sound it produces) but I would highly recommend you consider it if you are looking for earbuds for use on a motorcycle.

Bought them before staples even had them out on display yet. The transparent ones are so dope. Worth every bit more then the original ones. The upgrades where awesome especially noise cancelling and transparent mode. They last alot longer in battery too, at least a few hours longer and the case holds a better longer charge. And the extra ear suction Buds they offer helps some people as there are now five different sizes. I own a pixel 7 pro so these were a no brainer, my solo pro beats that i absolutely adored started acting funny and won't hold a charge but then try later and they do lol. So i figured these are on their way out andn side made the dumb choice to not make them anymore yet keep the solo 3s which agree welfare garbage tinny sounding crap. The solo pros had amazing noise cancelling and a 40 hours battery life without noise cancelling and a quick 5 minute charge gives you a good few hours battery. I loved these headphones and three clampy way they fit either work for you or don't but most.people had no issues. The only problem I would say they had was they became uncomfortable after a few hours because they sit on your ear and not over them like the studio's but they cost about 450 bucks unless you snag em in a sale snd between all the different choices of tech stores there is bound to be a sale at one of em. I really love the studio beats buds plus for when I'm out for a jog or.just relaxing listening to music or KZfaq etc.. I'm thinking of getting another pair of solo pros they can easily be found online for either cheaper or sometimes more expensive as they are getting rarer especially new in box ones and I don't buy used earphones. I'm also looking at some good bestbuy refurb studio beats for like 150 and its tempting because I love over the air headphones for the quality over buds and yes even the precious apple air buds max ... I'm not quite an audiophile with music but with my 4k blurays or even my digital with Dolby vision and Atmos I have high quality Pioneer receiver and some great Bose speakers and two installed in the ceiling and it's like a theatre especially with reference movies .

the outside voice testing is really from an old video show casing a different set. is the audio also not the featured set?

Debating trying these. I have the AirPods Pro 2s but the original Studio Buds blow them out of the water with bass, but the AirPods sound more refined in the midrange. The APP2s just lack low end impact.

Oh man, I'd love to see the transparent tech make a comeback. Transparent AirPods would be sick!

Do these have multipoint connection?

the transparent looks lovely.. nice

Thinking buying these beats plus

How good are they in filtering out office noise like conversations around you?

I wonder if the translucent ones will yellow over time and what not....

Looking cool. I'll get one but the white color

could anybody tell me if these are good for running/ working out?

I wish they would make the powerbeats pro in transparent.

Just came here to say i hope that clear case is an indicator of the clear craze device trend coming back

Sort of wondering about selling my Airpods 3 for these, they didn't get much use because without a seal and ANC it's too distracting at the gym, and imo they don't sound that good. Would these be an all around upgrade for around the cost?

Need these

These are the best Earbuds I've used as far as call quality 👍🏾

Clear Beats Pro are decent in design, but I’m curious on the bass is what the Monster Beats used to be known for.

So beats fit pro auto transfer on iOS but these don’t?

I just got mine today 😊😊

I can honestly say? These things sound really really good coming from a long time Bose fan.

does it have multipoint connection?

I will be purchasing these in transparent at release. Im tired of the boring white AirPods Pro and not a fan of the stem. Like you said the auto switching can be irritating and I will not miss that feature

Would you put these over galaxy buds pros? People say I have a lot of background noise when I wear them

I have been waiting for new studio buds since I saw the leak. Although I love the transparent design for studio buds+ ,as an apple user with several devices, I will still choose fit pro. Even though I really hope beats could put just h1 in buds+ would be so nice.

How can i get one

Still doesn't have the proximity sensor that pause the music as you take them off the ear?

Copped these today! Trust me you won’t be let down

Google mobile is available on android devices in the bluetooth system

How do these compare to the Beats Fit Pro? Do they absolutely demolish them?

Waiting for fit pro 2

Anybody who owns these? Have you tried them in the gym or while running? Wondering if they fall off or not easily.

How about the microphone quality in railway"

Damn I have the powerbeats but this clear is calling my name and I have no need lol. I love the look

They are great just hate em because they keep disconnecting from my iPhone. And only had them for 2 weeks

How do they compare to the Buds pro 2 and the Bose QC II?

😮 that phone call doesn’t even seem real. That’s crazy. I have the originals and they pick up so much noise.

When I originally heard about these several weeks ago I was very skeptical. I already have the PowerBeats Pro & BeatsFit Pro. Both I use quite often and IMO, the sound from the BeatsFit Pro are superior. I can't imagine the fit would be comfortable and that is why I have stayed away from the Studio Buds all this time. I do like the transparent color option but these are not for me.

Just bought the black pair today. Very impressed so far. Better than the original studio buds I have a pair of those too. Personally I don’t like the translucent it looks cheap to me. But more power to those of you who like it!

I just don’t like the pressure these type of headphones create uncomfortable and moist after a few hours for me. I like the headphones that sit in your ear like AirPods gen ones.

Translucent is what sold it for me

Waiting for pro+

dam i wanna get these even tho i have the fit pro bc the fit pro hurt my ears overtime

Do they read incoming texts like the AirPod pros?😊

Can we get a transparent beats fit do next ?

These look pretty cool. Gave up the Beats Studio Buds for the Beats Fit Pro. I also use the AirPods Pro. Great headphones

Dang the transparency mode must be pretty good 😂

Just got mine today😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Needs over the ear hook

I want the clear buds but cant find them anywhere. I grew up in the clear era and wants these but where do I get them? Even on the apple website they are not there.

Love you got the first review always a step forward

The design is dope but unfotunately buds without wingtips fall out of my ear so will have to wait on the beats fit pro 2nd gen. Hope they shrink the case. Since these are out maybe a fit pro 2nd gen is close. Fingers crossed

I’ve had my Beats Studio Buds for over two years now, I kinda want them to break so I can get these new ones lol

The inmates like their transparent tech

I love how CNET be on top of things

Anyone having problems with these buds? My right side loosing charge faster than the left side by 20% different

do these have spatial audio head tracking??

A physical button on a pair of buds is a hard pass for me. It always feels like I'm shoving them into my ear every time I click the button. I'm ok with physical buttons on headphones but not ear buds.

how they are in comparison to beats fit pro?

So glad they're usb-C

U should compare the Sony earbuds and these ones

I'll stick with my Earfun Air Pro 3 buds, for $80CAD. Fantastic value, very good performance.

I still have my translucent game boy 😄

Finally the ball is dropped in Andriods court thank god never thought I'd see the say where andriod users would have more extra features that apple love it always 😁 I'd also imagine these buds don't come cheap

5:11 it's good

Transparent purple plz.

what's the Bluetooth version?

Fun fact: nobody has ever in history successfully used multipoint connection. It’s sole purpose is to annoy you and anyone who tries to call you, as you struggle to get them playing the correct device

They look like they’re made of glass, I love the design .classy and silky smooth. The vocal is much better in the new studio buds .i would say a little bit clearer . At least for me .Hopefully the sound quality is good too . Thanks 🙏 for the reviews

Fit Pro are the best still. No comparison for performance of fit and staying locked in.

clear IS cool!

This guy sounds like bobs burgers and I love it

I recently bought nothing air 2 andbits impossiblely good😊

I'm trying to decide between these and the Air Pods Pro 2. The lack of precision finding is a deal breaker. The transparent case looks awesome but I need to easily & quickly find my buds! I'll be buying Air Pods Pro 2.

Damnit I just bought a couple pairs on sale for $99 each of the studio buds, which is a great deal but I’ll wait on these for a while.

So pro line would had spatial audio🤔😅

What DAC? Bluetooth Codecs?

I don’t think this guy did much research outside of listening to them. He says they do have auto switching on iOS, their website says they do. He also says they do support spatial audio, which again the website says they do.

you really can’t buy a bad pair of wireless headphones anymore, i mean as long as you’re spending a decent amount.

Got em on sale for $129.95 😁

I would never spend that much money on earbuds. Been down that road before and they never last.

arnt these justt airpods ?

yet I still have my gameboy color purple clear fyi ahora es el dia de la madre here in the US May 12th 2024

Really cnet is one of the true winners out there

The biggest drawback but earlier buds where the physical buttons which while casual listening on the couch if you turn the burn presses automatic and pauses the music hope the problem remains same . AirPods are better in comfort while watching movies in bed . Beats design is bit bad

the originals were a clear winner even for its competitive market price, hopefully i can grab a pair of these this summer.

So...Nothing earbuds for iPhone users?

What I wanted to know: how noise cancelling compare to airpods 2 and quietcomfort 2 😅
