But these are some of the best beats headphones you can buy today. They offer a decent alternative to the current king of true wireless earbuds, which you can find out more about in our Sony WF-1000XM4 review. Ot take a look at similar high-end buds in our Sennheiser CX True Wireless review. These have been our favorite Beats wireless earphones for a while, but read our Beats Fit Pro review for another pair of Beats buds that are slightly better in terms of fit and sound. Also, the H1 chip in the Studio Buds is, unfortunately, lacking. Pop it open and you will find the earbuds. To remove it, pinch the outer control panel and pull it up. The raised control panel allows the buds to sit securely in the ear without over-the-ear hooks or fins to press against the ear. They are almost flush with your ears, so you can’t wear them to sleep (they stick out a bit to fit), but they offer maximum comfort. The Beats Studio Buds certainly employ the smallest, finest and most sustainable form factor to date from Apple’s Beats brand – the packaging is made from 92 percent plant-based materials sourced from recycled fibers and sustainable forests too. The ergonomically angled acoustic nozzle features laser-cut micro-vents to ensure pressure relief to the eardrums, and with a total of three silicone eartip options, there is a decent range to find the right fit. There are also three different types of ear tips to choose from, so you can find the right fit for you. Now to the sound: the Beats Studio Buds feature a new driver architecture, and while the company aimed for the “powerful” sound it is known for, the difference is stark when compared to the Powerbeats Pro. Each has its own strengths. If you value bass to keep you motivated during exercise, the older earbuds still have the advantage; the Powerbeats Pro seems to pack more of a punch, while the Powerbeats Studio Buds are more powerful and have a more natural sound.
