Absolutely awesome!
By Chris G on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014
These headphones are excellent! I have had them for about a month now and feel they are broken in fairly well. Most importantly these headphones offer exceptional audio quality. The highs and lows are perfectly separated as well as vocals. You really do hear things in your music you would't know were there with a lesser pair of headphones. The base has been toned down a bit from previous versions of the Studio and the sound is tighter with a bit more punch. I would have liked a touch more bass but I prefer these Studio's to the older version. The old studios sounded muffled to me and was the reason I never purchased them, these newer Studios have such a clean sound that I cannot believe they are from the same manufacturer! The bluetooth wireless is an awesome addition too and I feel it does not distract from the sound quality at all. People will complain about the price but in comparison to sound quality you would be easily paying $399 and up for similar audiophile type headphones plus you wouldn't be getting wireless, rechargeable battery or noise canceling. Plain and simple, what you get is exceptional sound quality, bluetooth, rechargeable battery, noise canceling, and thoughtful, tasteful design. In my opinion getting all this is an excellent deal for $379! I do not know of any other headphone that offers this at the same price. Below are the pros and cons: Pros: Sound quality is excellent, way better than previous Beats Studio headphones. Sound quality is clean and punchy with good variance between highs and lows. Allows great audio from diverse media I listen to (rock, pop, electronic, hip/hop, jazz) Bluetooth connection is very welcome as the cord does not get in the way while I am accomplishing other tasks at work. I can control my iPhone with the controls on the side of the headphones (volume up/down, next/previous song, play/pause). Very well built yet light: cables, case and overall finish is superb and well designed. The matte black model looks great and does not show fingerprints like the shiny versions. Rechargeable battery lasts through a day easily and I go a few days between charges. Very comfortable and adjustable for various head sizes Noise canceling does a pretty good job Price is pretty good considering what you get Cons: The next/previous button sometimes pauses my music instead of changing the song(not sure if this is a iPhone issue or headphone issue). I don't think the battery is removable (from what I see you cannot replace them). The adjustable size looks like it might be too big for people with smaller heads The sound isolation does a good job but does not completely drown outside sounds like the Bose products Overall, you get great value for what you pay with the Studio Wireless. I would recommend these without a doubt to people looking for a ton of features and great sound quality at a good price. Look into headphones and you will see the prices can get into the $1000 range quickly. These are my new full time headphones in addition to my Ultimate Ears 900 in ear headphones but I have been using the beats more due to the comfort over long listening and I think they reproduce the sound a bit more accurately.

Worth it if needing bluetooth, if not look elsewhere
By Joosby C. on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014
As is widely known, Beats are extremely overpriced for the quality you get in return. With that known, the wired version of the studio's are frankly a silly buy in my opinion, you can get much more bang for the buck elsewhere. For 300$, you are really getting a 150$ pair of headphones, albeit, with the beats logo if you need that. But when it comes to Bluetooth quality over the ear headphones, the options are not as numerous so it does make these a bit more sensible. Their main competitor is probably the bose ae2w and in comparing it to them, I enjoy the fit better, they don't have a silly mic extension sticking out and they sound better, noticeably better. It's still quite the hike up in price for them but again, if looking for a Bluetooth headset of some decent quality, it is easier to swallow that price hike. I do like the case and accessories and was a big fan of the black matte finish. While they do feel solid, I do wish they weren't as plastic-ey as the are. For the price paid, they should have a more premium construction/look to them. I also was disappointed they don't multipair or have any sort of mutli device memory function. From what I can tell, you need to re-pair with devices each time when switching. The anc does produce a slight hiss and yes, it's not in the same stratosphere as the bose anc. But in this argument, I personally side with the quality sound of the beats over the anc of the bose. The parrot wireless model do sound better but that look and feel chased me away pretty quick, the fit was horrendous. The big sell here is wireless. Had they not been, which the 300$ studio's are, they would not have held any personal appeal. The positives they do have, they have because it's in comparison to what the Bluetooth market currently provides. As a wired headset, even though you won't get the beats branding, your money is just so much better spent elsewhere. But because of that wireless and their sleek foldable nature, the beats studio wireless wins in the all important category of real word usability. I find myself reaching for these over better sounding wired pairs I have just because of the convenience of the wireless. I do wish it had device switching without re-pairing but even that process isn't anything more then 10-20 seconds.
