Beats by Dr. Dre - Beats Studio2 Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

I spend a lot of time researching headphones and I take in every aspect of each whether it may be good or bad. These headphones are pricey (of course) but if you have the money to pay for them, give them a chance. I have seen a lot of negative reviews on the beats website about these headphones but most people complain because they either don't know how to use the headphones properly, the hissing annoys them, or they complain about the sound being louder in the left ear. Fact 1: The headphones hiss (only when not playing music) because they are noise cancelling. If you can't accept that then don't buy them. Fact 2: The left ear does have a stronger output but not by much. Fact 3: Best Buy gives a one year warranty so if anything is wrong take the headphones to them. Fact 4: The headphones last up to 12 hours depending on how high your volume is. I have been able to play them at 75% volume for 8 hours straight on a 4 bar charge. Fact 5: If you are careless with these headphones they will reflect it. Now comparing these to the pros, the beats pro headphones have powerful bass as well as nice mids, are heavy, can withstand multiple drops on concrete, have daisy chain, are not wireless, do not need to be charged, expensive in my opinion. The beats studio wireless 2016 are the same in most aspects. They do have wireless capabilities which allow someone to be up to 30 feet away from the bluetooth device and still hear the music. the overall quality matches the pros but the bass is slightly stronger on the studios in my opinion. The studios are not nearly as heavy as the pros but the lack of protective material is the cause of that. Which leads me to saying the headphones are not very strong against drops. The wireless studios must be charged even if plugged in which makes sense due to the noise cancelling feature but since there is no way to turn that off (which does not make sense to me) the headphones will always use the battery. Based on the price the two are about the same depending on where you get them but based on original price the pros are more expensive. I could sit here all day and compare the wireless studios to every type of headphone on the market but I would rather not waste your time nor my own. I will say this though, the solo 3s are a match for the studios concerning the playtime, no need to be charged when using the cord, fast charge, lightweightness (if thats even a word), and ease of link with iPhone bluetooth, but alas these headphones have their drawbacks too. This is not an all encompassing review and I left out a lot of details about the packaging what comes in the box the comfort (which I recommend to tilt the headphones forward for longer use without displeasure), and style. If you want more information try to see what others have to say about the product, or test them out before you purchase. Either way I hope you find this helpful and enjoy the rest of your life!

Out of 5 stars: sound 4 1/2 comfort 4 1/2 Design 5 quality/"sturdiness"? 5 I loved the wireless feature and the controls on the actual headphones worked with my Samsung Note 4. I was not happy about them stop holding a charge a little after a year once the manufactures warranty was up. I have a friend with the red pair and his still works fine but then again I did use mine about 3xs more than he did.

I own multiple Beats headphones, but really wanted the wireless bluetooth option. Although they sound every bit as good as my wired Studio's, the price is a bit steep. The sound is really good, with great bass, and exceptional battery life (they're rechargeable), the price might steer you audiophile's towards higher end brands. That being said, keep in mind these also offer phone features when connected via bluetooth. Since I also use them for communication when connected to my iPhone (Skype, FaceTime, and voice calls), it makes up for the high price.

After researching several different brands of over the ear wireless headphones, I settled on the Beats. I made the best choice! The noise cancelation works great and the sound is fabulous. They are expensive, not gonna lie, but I did buy the insurance/warranty through Best Buy that will cover what the manufacturer's warranty won't. They fit well and the over the ear part is super comfy. Even when wearing my glasses they feel the same. All my friends who try them want a pair!! I haven't used the cords yet, but the bluetooth wireless part works great.

Great sound is just the beginning when describing these headphones. The design is fabulous and sleek and just a perfect balance of elegance. I love working out and cleaning the house while wearing these headphones and it's just great not having that wire in the way. Just a happy camper....

Great looking pair of headphones, but not by any means the best sounding on the market. You can get twice as good headphones for half the price, but may not be the best in terms of looks. Let me briefly go over the things I've come to love about them. The active noise canceling is astonishing, they don't seem like they're actively sending a noise canceling frequency and don't give a headache after 30 minutes of listening. They're very light weight and a great feel on the head and ears. But they are not bass heavy, which is what I love (unless adjusted by equalizer on your media device) and don't produce the most clear vocals or instrumental sound. I absolutely love the turtle shell case it comes with, I would have liked to see it a bit bigger, however, and a pouch inside for the AUX cord it comes with (even though I personally don't use it.) Overall, if you want an above average sounding pair of headphones, and want them to look great and feel great, and most importantly, prepared to spend the money for name brand... Then go for it.

I bought these as a gift. My son thanks my weekly for getting them. He loves the quality of the sound and that they are wireless. They sre expensive but worth it. I got them during a sale....BB usually has the best deal. Highly recommend.

I love my new beat headphones, it has great sound and detail. The bluetooth works without getting dropped and the range is good too. Mic works well while in a call. The onlt cons I think are - a bit heavy and the ear size seems small for an over the ear headphone ( but still manageable)...
