One EQ area where AirPods Pro excels, and where these Beats fall short, is unfortunately in the highs. Bass heads will probably want to look elsewhere, but it’s still an impressive output. When listening to an album with dense production, like City Pop king Tatsuro Yamashita, I found the bass driving without overwhelming his impeccable rhythm guitar work. Due to their history with the hip-hop industry, if you’re expecting booming, bass-forward sound, the audio is decidedly more nuanced.ĭon’t get us wrong - the bass is still fairly deep and well-defined (especially enhanced by that secure fit). Simply press once to play or pause, twice to skip tracks, three to go back and hold down the button to turn ANC on and off.Īmazon The Studio Buds Have Comparable (and Maybe Better) Sound QualityĬomfort is an important factor for your earbud choice, yes, but luckily the Studio Buds aren’t a one trick pony, delivering on superb sound quality too. No need to memorize a complex series of taps or hand motions as if this is a round of Legends of the Hidden Temple. There’s only one button to press, and each earbud has the same set of controls, as opposed to the occasionally wonky touch sensors you see in other wireless earbuds these days. But gratefully, I had no pain or pressurized feeling with the Studio Buds, and didn’t even feel the need to exchange one of the three ear tips.Īnother point goes to their minimalist, physical touch controls. Up until now, I would consistently recommend smooth-stemmed OG AirPods (or the budget-friendly competitor TaoTronics), for people with ear grievances like mine. They tend to, at worst, make your ear feel like it’s been clogged after a long swim. Now, full disclosure, I dislike most earbuds with a suction-type tip. What helps is the fit of their newly redesigned silicone ear tips. But this isn’t necessarily the clincher for why they beat out the AirPods Pro - we’ll get there. They’re far more comfortable after hours of wear, which really adds up. I was surprised that they were even lighter than the AirPods Pro, which already felt pretty weightless even with the added stems. You don’t feel the loss of the ear hooks at all, especially when you consider that weight has been much improved: Studio Beats are a feathery 5.1 grams. Unlike the Powerbeats Pro, Studio Buds’ new, compact design is small enough that they resemble pills, or gummy candies.
