An alternative to AirPod Pros? Yes, but with a slight lower quality difference. Worth it? Yes
Color: Ivory
Style: Standalone
I compared these beats with AirPod pros. Both are Apple products. The beats have a smaller range of volume, the lowest volume is pretty loud for the “lowest volume”. Each level for volume going up is minimal compared to the AirPods. (At around 1/3 of the volume they match volume. AirPods get a lot quieter and ALOT louder, I’d say 10% louder) The beats are loud enough for me I leave it at 3/4 of volume. Noise cancellation is really good, some noise filters through in loud environments but it’s enough when you’re at the gym and busy places. I experienced noise filtering through when I was in a car with music blasting. So I’d rate the noise cancellation pretty high. Pass through, pass through is good. I’d recommend not having the pass through when there’s lots of noise cause it’s good and personally it can get loud. When there’s a sudden loud noise the earbuds make the same loud noise and it could hurt your ears if you have sensitive hearing. Cons, when in loud environments if you are on a call the earbuds filter out the noise, and when you speak it filters your voice a bit too which makes it hard for the other person on the other end to hear you. Also the bit about the loud noise with the pass through and sensitive ears is a con for me. Battery life is really good, lasts me my work day and a bit more, I’m sure like all batteries that would go down after use but hasn’t happened to me yet I’ve had it for 2 months now. Bluetooth, the Bluetooth is pretty strong. You could probably still have a connection a few rooms away in a house before the connection begins to fail. Unlike AirPods when you remove the bud from an ear whatever is playing will not pause unless YOU pause it. This means it’s constantly connected, when you are within the Bluetooth radius of course. I’ve lost a bud twice but this actually helped me find it, so that’s a plus. And with these beats you cannot connect another pair to your phone like you can with AirPods. So it’s only on pair of beats at a time. I really like the earbuds and I think they are well worth the price, to me they are a barely lesser version of AirPod pros. I’m considering getting the studio pro’s over the AirPod max after this experience. Update 4 months later- The battery life is still very strong, I have had some issues with them disconnecting and reconnecting to my phone and I believe it’s because when I got my Apple Watch, it must be Confusing the connection between my phone and the watch. Yes, it can be annoying but to me, it’s still worth it. All really need to do is reconnect with my phone. I don’t think AirPods Will have this problem. But I’m not sure. There was one day where the noise cancellation on my right earbud stopped working, but it’s because I didn’t have enough battery so I had to charge it after that I had no issues.

Great pods at a great price
Color: Black/Gold
Style: Standalone
I've been using a pair of the original Beats Powerbeats for years now, and they've been great. Though over time, I started getting interested in something with some ANC, and something a little less bulky. When these went on sale, I knew I had to buy a pair, they were just what I was looking for. These have been great, they fit really well and are comfortable, and while they don't have the over-the-ear hook that the powerbeats pro's have, I have not felt at all like they were insecure in my ear. The standard "medium" earpiece fits me fine, but it's nice to have several different sizes to adjust the fit. The sound is really good. More of that traditional "Beats Sound" with a little extra bit off oomph in the Bass department (my original Powerbeats sounded great, but they were less Bass-forward than most Beats). I enjoy the sound even if it's not "Audiophile quality" flat response, they sound great with the music I listen to, and when I'm watching movies, it's great too. The ANC is nice to have.. it's not perfectly going to cancel things out, as these are earbuds, and not total over-the-ear headphones, but honestly, the ANC is working better than I expected. I wish the transparency mode could be adjusted for how effective it is, as I wish it were a little more boosted, but it does still works better than just having the ANC Off. As of right now, these are in the sweet spot to buy, Apple quality ease of connectivity, good ANC, comfortable buds, good sound, and at the prices these can be found for now, they are the best buy IMO. Airpod Pros right now might sound a little better, and may have better ANC, but they cost more than two times what I paid for these, and these are way too good to pass up

Their ok...
Color: Black/Gold
Style: Standalone
Over all ok earbuds, not what I was expecting though. I may have just been using them in the wrong content but noise canceling hardly works, I could still hear the clack of keys and a clock ticking with my volume up about half way, that will normally drownd out both of those with my other earbuds. The app doesn't seam to really work either, it mostly is just there to walk you through set up and make them seem nicer but switching between modes in the app doesn't work and you can only get it to switch using the earbuds. One of the modes sounds terrible, like it's coming from a very cheap radio, the other two sound the exact same. They do fit a bit oddly in my ears even with the smallest ends, and feel like they are going to fall out at any second. In the end if you just want earbuds that work ok with android and have alright sound 60% of the time then go for it but otherwise I would advise you to get something else.

Decent earbuds when on sale
Color: Transparent
Style: Standalone
Sound quality is decent, but there's virtually no noise canceling. Purchased them primarily to use on a recent flight. Had to turn the volume up much louder than normal to hear my music over the regular sounds of the airplane. If you can get them on sale, they're not bad, but I probably wouldn't pay full price for them. They do seem to hold a decent battery charge, that was a real "pro."

Don’t waste your money. These are awful!
Color: Black/Gold
Style: Standalone
These are the worst headphones I have ever owned. They were easy enough to pair with my phone, but after that it has been nothing but problems. They will NOT stay in my ears. The silicone tips are not substantial enough to handle staying in your ear with the weight of the button on the outer part of the earbud. I bought memory foam replacement tips, and they help somewhat but I am still CONSTANTLY pushing these earbuds back in my ears. Worst, they constantly turn themselves off while I am actively listening to something. Just randomly, they will make the unpair noise and turn off. Sometimes they will automatically re-pair within a couple seconds, but more often I have to go into the settings on my phone and manually reselect them as my current listening preference. My phone is up to date, everything should be functioning correctly. The sound on these will also randomly go in and out every once in a while. There will be times where I’ll be listening for a while and then all of a sudden it’s like my phone is too far away from them and the sound starts to cut out. Even when I’m holding my phone in my hand. The only way to fix it is to completely turn them off and turn them back on. It’s beyond frustrating. When they are on and functioning, the sound quality is great. I am going to go back to my regular AirPods, the Beats are 100% not worth the money.

Read this Review (I'll tell you why I settled on these after researching for months!)
Color: Black/Gold
Style: Standalone
You're probably like me, dragging your feet for months, researching and researching for hours trying to compare brand names (Bose, or JBL? Sennheiser, or Apple?). I finally settled on these, and here's why: 1) I didn't want airpods. You probably also don't want airpods (if you're even reading this review). Not because of the quality, but because "everyone has airpods" and they're "airpod people" (sorry to all the airpod people, including my sister). I wanted to be different (hopefully no shame there?). 2) My top priority was phone calls with my earbuds (make sure, even if you don't end up with these earbuds, that you determine your priorities, -clearly-). These earbuds have some of the best "in ear" calling I've seen (next to airpods). 3) I wanted something low profile (also why I didn't want airpods with the "stem"). These are very sleek, and don't look flashy in the ear. They're also not very cumbersome, and fit very snuggly. Very light, but durable - great design, even better build quality. 4) Not a huge selling factor for me personally, but if you want noise cancellation, this is your stop. I just used these this morning on the train coming into Boston, sitting next to the door leading out of the coach, and was astonished with how adaptive it was to specifically tuning out the rattling of the train. These earbuds will adapt to the environments around them! 5) The battery life is fantastic. Keep in mind, if you're in a loud area with the noise cancelling on, and it's working harder, you're going to blow through your battery faster - even that considered, I was still really impressed with the battery life! 6) This is clearly designed to work seamlessly with Apple products. Pairing was a breeze, and the connectivity is strong. Beats and Apple had a beautiful handshake with this product, and it shows. 7) Lastly, the sound quality. This is unmatched with anything I've used prior. Has very clear audio, and a great range of tone. The bass is powerful, while balancing defined treble tones. A couple things to consider: -These don't have wireless charging (unlike my other gadgets). I need to plug them into USB-C to charge. Might not be a big deal for you, but this is a drawback on my radar. -Get a protective case! The existing charging case is well built, and sturdy - but if you're like me, and you put your phone in a protective case, do the same for your earbuds. The case I got was drop proof, and didn't add much to the size (it doesn't take up much space in my pocket). It was $10 for peace of mind. Get an airtag too while you're at it! Overall, would recommend!

Excellent for music, not sure for call quality.
Color: Transparent
Style: Standalone
For music they are great. Yes they are comfortable but for phone calls on iPhone people say I sound far away. So it’s questionable. Maybe it’s a setting issue on my end in the phone. That’s the one problem I seem to have. I have an old iPhone 12 not sure that matters for Bluetooth.

have their issues but i like them
Color: Transparent
Style: Standalone
i’ve had airpods for 5 years, i loved them but they got to the point of dying within an hour and having connection issues so i decided to try something new. my boyfriend has had beats for a while now and has never had any issues with them and so i decided to get these. lookswise, they’re extremely cool and i really do like how they look (both in the case and on my ears) but they definitely do have their problems. pros: - COOL LOOKING! i’ve never quite liked how airpods looked and these are sooo nice to look at - discreet, if you don’t want anyone to know you’re listening to music then these are perfect lol - i dropped one of the earbuds in the toilet by accident 💔 and at first i couldn’t hear anything out of it anymore and i started freaking out but i dried it with my sleeves and paper towel as well as i could since i was at school and didn’t have anything else lol, they ended up drying and working good as new so im happy about that - GREAT BATTERY LIFE!! i was looking for something that would last me a long time! i’m always listening to music and was tired of my airpods dying constantly. i can listen to music for 4 hours and my earbuds would barely be in the 60s% - lightweight! they’re lighter than my airpods - they fit very comfortably, they don’t hurt my ears at all and sometimes i forget i even have them on. i do have to adjust them every now and then because i get scared they will fall out cons: - they seem to have even worse connection issues than my old airpods did, it only ever seems to happen when im at college so maybe its the wifi here or just a coincidence but the earbuds start cutting out like crazy and the only way to stop it is to either pause whatever you’re listening to and then unpause or put the earbuds back in the case and back out. it’s extremely annoying but like i said, only seems to happen when im at college and hasn’t happened at all anywhere else. doesn’t happen all the time either, some days it doesn’t cut out at all and other days it happens several times. - sometimes the audio volume stops working? whenever i put the volume any less than 50% the sound goes silent. to fix it, you have to reset the earbuds completely by pressing the button inside the case until the light starts flashing red and then connect them back to your phone. this has only happened to me around 3 times and i don’t know what causes it but it’s also very annoying. - the call audio doesn’t seem to be very good, nobody seems to be able to hear me when i wear these and usually have to swap back to my airpods overall, despite all its flaws, i really do like these earbuds and will be keeping them. it just sucks that my listening experience has not been seamless for $100 earbuds. i expected more especially since my boyfriend has never had a problem with his beats solo buds which are older than these beats studio buds. either way i would recommend these to someone who can deal with its minor issues but i do miss how little problems my airpods had, especially back when they were brand new lol.
