Beats Studio Wireless: A pricey Bluetooth headphone with premium sound

2014-03-25
I'm David Carr Noah and I'm here with the Beats Studio wireless over your headphones this model looks nearly identical to the company studio / ear but the big difference is it includes not only active noise canceling but Bluetooth technology which allows for Wireless trimming from any Bluetooth enabled device that added feature cost something of course $80 to be exact and this headphone retails for a lofty 370 995 I tested the studio wireless for several weeks and came away really liking it sound wise it measures up well against some of the top Bluetooth headphones out there and it's a big upgrade over the older on ear beats Wireless that's the one with the smaller ear cups that's based on the solo design like the studio over here this is the new reimagined version of the original studio these new models are lighter and built more sturdy they also boast softer ear cups as I want to wear this model for long stretches without a problem and it worked well as ear muffs during the cold season they will get a little steamy in warmer weather and it's worth noting they do leak a little sound if you play them at high volumes Beach doesn't talk up the noise case on this model all that much because at the default setting it's not very strong that you will hear a very faint hiss when you music isn't playing you can ramp up the noise canceling by pressing the remote button on the side of the headphone when you're turning on the headphone but that heavier noise cancellation is it for music listening it's really just for silencing the outside world in fact you can't listen to your music in this mode in any case as I said the headphones perform very well for Bluetooth headphones the smooth natural sound and good tight bass this plump but not over emphasized like it was with the old studio model battery life is also good you can get up to about 20 hours at more moderate volume levels and a set of LED lights near the power button lets you know just how much juice you have left and finally the headphone also has a built-in microphone so you can make calls and the call quality was good in my tests the big question of course is whether this is worth three hundred eighty bucks it's hard to say it's a very comfortable headphone it sounds good and folds up into a more compact girge that you can easily stick in a backpack or even a coat pocket seems well-built and has held up well for me over the course the month that I've used it in the gym and on my daily commute it's lighter more comfortable than the parrot Zeek which cost $400 and arguably sounds slightly better that model does have some extra features but I think I'd pick this one over the parrot it's a really nice bluetooth headphone that I have no problem recommending if you can deal with paying a premium for the beats brand I'm David Carr noise that's the Beats Studio wireless thanks for watching
