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

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

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.

The Beats Studio 3 Wireless are Beats', and therefore Apple's, premier full-size wireless headphones.

Great wireless performance; Solid sound; Top battery life

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

Beats Electronics justifiably describes the 2013 version of Beats Studio ($300) as

Looks of the headset

Sound quality is poorer than Solo3 (and much poor than Bose QC 35 II

Just got my head phones wired and the sound is very good, thre price can be found lower, but worth the money. Will buy again.

It is a testament to the power of Apple that Beats headphones are now the go-to headphone choice for many an iPhone user. Bought by Apple in 2014 for £3bn, Beats are now seen on celebrities and people in the street daily by millions of people.

Beats Studio 3 Wireless Review – While the Studio 3 Wireless headphones have been out for a while, I still see people wearing them on the streets. That "b" logo definitely attracts your eyes the moment you see them on people's headphones.

Quite happy with these head phones. For me it was between the Studio 3's and Sony WHa1000XM2. I ended up with the Studio 3's mostly to match my girlfriend and the red color options. The battery lasts quite a while. I havent timed it, but I'm sure it is close to what is advertised.
