Here at Major HiFi, I usually found myself avoiding Beats headphones. They always seemed overpriced and didn't pay enough attention to detail in sound. However, I recently got a pair of Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones to try out, and my opinion may surprise you.

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.

Stylish color choices

Mediocre sound

I've had many headphones such as beats, Bose, etc. But my favorite thus far has been the studio beats. You don't feel something inside your ear. They over your whole ear. And the sound quality gives you the experience of being at the gym by yourself. Highly recommended.

Only worth the price if you like the design style

Good sound quality

Expensive; not super comfortable; Expensive; not super comfortable

Long before it was purchased by Apple but after parting ways, w/ HTC & Monster, Beats By Dre has been the best example of marketing hype for a product. Even though they are seen by prominent sports figures & entertainers, Beats headphones wasn't known for having the best audio.

This is one the best headphones of mine! Great sound, easy to access and I experienced the true sound!

Beats' Studio 3 Wireless are easy to pair with Apple devices, but other headphones offer superior sound quality

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 has taken a very good wireless noise-canceling headphone and significantly increased its performance.

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

So there are good things and there are not so good things about the Beats Solo3 Wireless. On the positive side, they're great for iPhone and MacBook owners. I simply cannot overstate enough how much of a difference to pairing and reconnection the W1 chip makes.
