The Beats Studio3 Wireless is a solid, balanced pair of headphones that will likely please those looking for more balance and clarity than anything else. The noise cancellation is better than average, and the easy pairing with iOS gear is a nice plus.

Rich, crisp sound signature with a focus on high-mid definition; Wireless audio and active noise cancellation; NC can be disabled to save battery life; Apple W1 chip makes pairing with iOS devices even more simple

Expensive; No passive listening mode; Adaptive aspect of NC is not impressive

Beats, the Apple-owned lineup of audio hardware, has produced what might be their finest headphones to date. The Studio3 Wireless are (as you may have guessed by now) wireless, have noice cancellation and the Beats styling and sound profile many have grown to know and love.

Pure ANC cleans up noises very well; W1 made pairing experience easy for iOS users; Fast-charging

Short battery life with Pure ANC enabled; Still uses Micro-USB

The Beats Studio3 Wireless reviewed here was released in September 2017, and it remains one of our top picks for wireless noise-canceling headphones. While we don't rate it as highly as the Sony WH-1000XM2 and Bose QuietComfort 35 II , the price for the Beats Studio3 Wireless has dropped in recent...

The Beats Studio3 Wireless offers improved sound quality, noise canceling and battery life from its predecessor in the same sturdy design; Apple's W1 chip makes pairing with Apple devices dead simple.

Design is the same as previous model's; Does not fold flat and carrying case is somewhat bulky

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are the latest and greatest from Beats. The last time I used Beats headphones was back in the Monster days before Dr. Dre split and went on his own. Back in those days, I felt Beats were far too bass heavy with little balance anywhere else.

Clean subtle design; Not the sound of the Beats of old; Comfortable; Solid build quality; ANC works well; Nice hard shell case included; W1 chip and iOS integration is seamless; Bluetooth reception is stellar

Sound leans heavier to the bass side may not be for everyone; Clamping pressure is tight; may not set well with some; Would have like to seen USB-C for charging; Fingerprint magnet accents

Great gadget, bad headphones

Plenty of color options; Smooth matte finish; Battery life; Connection

Price; Sound quality; Build quality isn't what I'd expect for the price

Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones offer a comfortable fit, decent active noise cancellation and clean, though a sometimes overly processed, sound profile.

Comfortable Fit; Quick Charging tops up battery in 10 minutes for 3 hours of listening; Stabile connection over large area; Solid bass performance for bass heavy tracks; Offer extra volume over other headphones

Known pairing issues with Samsung S7; Lack of audible notifications for pairing mode and power toggle; Expensive

The Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones are a big improvement over the Studio2 in regards to audio quality, noise cancellation, wireless range, and battery life. These are very solid headphones for the average person, especially if you travel a lot or work in an office.

Excellent wireless signal thanks to Apple's W1 Chip; Superb battery life; Very comfortable with soft ear cups; Pretty good audio quality with very good noise cancellation; Great presentation and comes with a case and headphone cable

Fatigue ears over time since they don't entirely cover your ears; Expensive; No distinction for controls on remote; Cannot use them as passive headphones

Great for Apple users, mediocre for everyone else

Satisfying bass thump; Collapsible design; Comfortable; cozy pads; Flawless operation with Apple devices

Battery life and Bluetooth suffer when not connected to Apple devices; Sound lacks refinement; vocals lack fullness; Competitors in same price bracket have more premium build; MicroUSB is an anachronism; especially in Apple ecosystem

The incorporation of Apple's W1 chip ups the wireless connectivity game all around (but you'll have to be using an Apple mobile device to get every benefit), and we get a big boost in the battery department. The sound quality is also improving.

Should you get the Studio3 It doesn't sound much better than even the Solo2 Wireless, and costs $50 more than the Solo3, which is a tough sell when Bose's QuietComfort 35 headphones are available for $329.
