Mine did not come with the rechargeable batteries though...maybe they were clearing out the 2013 products...? I broke them in for 24 hours, using 4 sessions of 6 hours of pink/white noise at a volume range equal to medium, to semi loud output.

Beats is the best product if you want to look good and sound wise, they're making progress. Overall really awesome.

Wireless headphones can look strange, but Dr. Dre's "Beats" brand is here to show that cordless doesn't necessarily have to mean clunky. Now, the real question is are they worth your money…

Pretty good sound across the board; Supports high-resolution audio; Can be wired or wireless; "Fashionable; Portable; thanks to the ability to fold up

Controls are cumbersome; No NFC; Expensive; Headphones have to be powered to work; even when wired; Weak active noise cancellation; No cut-off switch when you collapse the headphones; staying on the entire time

Here the look succeeds far more authentically - genuinely unique, indeed, with a blood red cable and two-section plug, while the closed-back headshells and band are indeed again plastic, but more solidly so here, comfortably-padded around ear and cranium, yet still able to fold inwards for...

I purchased this product because I have had Beats in-ear headphones previously and they provide superb sound quality. I wanted something that covered my whole ear, which these do. The fit is comfortable (and adjustable) and the sound quality is amazing, as you'd expect from a Beats product.

I own a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones and recently bought a pair of Beats Studio Wireless headphones (both bought from an Apple store) so I could have one pair at work and one at home.

These Beats were advertised as with USB which is the new version of Beats. These arrived with no USB cord but with batteries. My daughter tried and sound had static. I listened and guessed it was the noise canceling part not working right.

The Beats Studio headphones are fairly comfortable and are designed to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, the bass tends to drown out other sound, leading to a tiring listening experience. The fact that the Beats Studio headphones can't work without batteries also doesn't count in its favour.

Let me first explain that I am a semi-casual listener. And by that I mean that I love live music however prefer the "clarity" that the studio will bring to a band. Also I am more of a rock & hip-hop/rock listener, so the depth of bass and overall balance of things is very important to me.

Beats has an updated version of its incredibly popular Studio headphones. Here's our Beats by Dre Studio 2013 review.
