they have an awful fit, sound like a cheap pair of gaming phones. but i mean, they're cool I guess. I've had better audio quality out of earbuds...

-Im "cool" now; i guess

-Unbearable balance; took way too much work on a EQ to make them sound decent -Give the same sound quality as my 30 dollar gaming headset; -most uncomfortable headset i've ever owned, granted they may never break, but they don't have any give to fit my head

Apple's successful subsidiary Beats now releases its third iteration of its successful headphone Beats Studio with an eye to broaden its following even further. The result is a pair of headphones that strive to convince with its sound as much as its functionality, without skimping on style.

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

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

In 2016 Beats upgraded two of its most popular headphones - the Powerbeats and Solo - and released the all new Beats X . All three came equipped with the same W1 chip that makes the Apple AirPods so convenient to pair for iPhone users.

Ridiculously long battery life; Very enjoyable sound quality and comfortable design; Great ease-of-use for Apple users thanks to W1 chip; Lots of bass

Pauses music when notifications come through on Apple Watch; Plastic design might not suit everyone; Lots of bass

Improved noise cancelling makes this the best pair of over-ear cans for iPhone owners - and they’re pretty damn good for the rest of us too

Excellent noise cancelling; Incredible battery life; Apple users get great connectivity

The best tech reserved for Apple devices; Not booming; but still bassy; Bold looks not to all tastes

Apple, and Beats, have hit a home run. The Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones look good, are reasonably comfortable, and sound good too. On top of that, they offer excellent performance, when it comes to connectivity and battery life.

Mashable Choice is a badge of honor, reserved for the absolute best stuff you can see, use, or do. If it’s Choice, it’s worth your time. I can tell you the exact moment I was sold on Beats by Dre’s extraordinary Studio3 wireless headphones .

Beats had a handful of different sounds on hand to test the Studio 3 ahead of launch . The demo was designed to showcase the range of the headphones’ new adaptive noise-canceling technology — but there’s only so much you can get from a demo in that kind of controlled environment.

Here's a bold statement: Beats headphones have gotten better since Apple bought the company. They're still kind of a trick, fueled by premium marketing from the tech company that invented premium marketing. The new Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones are no different. They're better!

Good sound quality; solid battery life

Too expensive
