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

Beats by Dre headphones are expensive, and the latest Studio Wireless is no exception: even though they sound great (although bass-heavy) you're ultimately paying far too much for just the name and the styling.

Strapping on a pair of Beats headphones is nothing short of a fashion statement these days; but there's no question that these are an attractive pair of cans even if you're not a fan of the brand.

There's not too much to fault the Beats Studio Wireless on, as it performs its job very well and it looks good doing it too - but there is an according extortionate price tag; For £329.95, it borders on audiophile territory, but it doesn't bring in the same quality that many keen listeners will be...

These headphones sound pretty good in my opinion. It all depends on the type of music you listen to. If you listen to jazz, classical or country music then you wouldn't like these. But if you're like me and others who listen to hip-hop and r&b then yes these are great.

Ostensibly they're a celebration of natural pride but I think it's also to make sure you don't commit the cardinal sin of the music industry and forget about Dre.

Nice Headphones

The Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones combine quality Bluetooth audio and above-average noise cancellation.

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

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.

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.
