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

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.

Despite having purchased Beats By Dre in 2014, Apple had yet to truly integrate the two company's technology with one another. For the most part, it felt like Beats By Dre was still operating as a standalone company.

Battery life is superb; Adaptive Noise Cancellation is best I've used; Comfortable; even after long periods of listening

Price is in line with comparable headphones; but still steep

If you are after good-looking wireless noise-cancelling headphones then you will not be sad to have gone for the Studio3s. They deliver a nice sound, though not audiophile by any means, and are no longer bass monsters.

Superb wireless performance; top-notch battery; headphone socket

No auto shutdown; disappointing mid-range; hot ears

If you're really interested in the best possible sound quality and noise isolation for £300, I'd advise you to forget about ANC headphones altogether and opt for a pair of wired earphones instead. If you spend the same amount of money you'll get much better sound quality than this.

Seamless Bluetooth pairing; Long-lasting battery life; Excellent build quality

Noise cancellation isn't as effective as the QuietComfort 35's; Sound quality could be better; for the price

Beats W1 chip means that the functionality of its headphones continue to impress. Battery life is good, connecting them to your phone is simple and straightforward, and build-quality is solid. Even their noise-cancellation is decent, if not class-leading.

Great wireless performance; Solid sound; Top battery life

Soggy mids; Don't quite deliver the sub-bass power you may want

After building up my expectations for Studio3 to be an industry-leading wireless headphone based on the momentum of the fantastic Solo3 that preceded it, Apple's infinite resources and talent, and the groundbreaking W1 chip, I ended up being extremely disappointed with Studio3.
