Apple’s Beats Studio Pro wireless noise cancelling headphones are a steal for $169.95 shipped, compared to the competition, as they were originally priced at $349.99. Active noise cancellation brings real muscle to the table, scanning your environment 48,000 times per second to mute airplane hums, office buzz, and street clamor. Product page.
- BEATS' CUSTOM ACOUSTIC PLATFORM delivers rich, immersive sound whether you’re listening to music or taking calls.
- LOSSLESS AUDIO via USB-C plus three distinct built-in sound profiles to enhance your listening experience
- HEAR WHAT YOU WANT with two distinct listening modes: fully-adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode
Battery life stretches to 40 hours with ANC off, or 24 hours with it active, keeping you powered through marathon listening sessions. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge via USB-C delivers 4 hours.
Sound quality on the Studio Pro hits hard and clear, thanks to a custom 40mm active driver that delivers balanced audio with distortion reduced by 80% from the Studio3 Wireless, per Beats’ claims. Bass thumps with authority, highs stay crisp, and a digital processor fine-tunes the frequency range.
Very comfortable! Tried ANC and transparent modes – ANC: Super quiet! Transparent: You can watch tv, hear it and listen to your music. It’s like enjoying a movie or tv show and background music at the same time and still be focused. I recommend doing the OTA firmware update as soon as possible. Update with Bluetooth connected and charging headphones at the same time. Give it about a half hour. You can unplug afterwards. Although it may seem that it did not update, check status later. Lastly, sound quality is excellent! I’m pleased with the bass quality and volume,” said one reviewer.
