Beats Studio Buds – True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancellation
For under $100, these Beats earbuds pack a punch. In our hands-on testing, we were particularly impressed with their lightweight design and comfortable fit. Weighing in at about five grams, they’re lighter than the AirPods Pro. They’re also sturdier than the AirPods, staying put and secure even when we’re on the move (like hiking or biking). The fit can be further customized if needed, with three sizes of ear tips available.
As for the sound quality, you get powerful bass and incredibly balanced mid- and high-end, just like Beats headphones. Whether you’re listening to The Weeknd or Beyonce, your new Beats headphones won’t disappoint. There’s also active noise cancellation just in case you need to ignore your surroundings and just want to focus on the music. The noise cancellation feature makes these headphones great for work too, to block out annoying chatter from your coworkers.
The battery life outperforms most other wireless earbuds on the market, lasting a full eight hours on a single charge. The wireless charging case can hold an additional 16 hours of listening time. These earbuds are also IPX4 water-resistant, meaning they can handle sweat or light rain as you go about your daily activities (though we don’t recommend wearing them in a storm).
There's also a built-in microphone if you need to take a call between jamming sessions or if you need to access your chosen voice assistant. These headphones are also compatible with both iOS and Android devices, giving you extra listening flexibility.
