    Quinn reviews the new Apple Beats by Dre Studio Pro headphones. Competing against the best wireless headphones on price, these really have quite a bit of strong competition. Do they measure up? Spoiler alert: no. Sure, they're cheaper than the AirPods Max, but did you know that a feather is lighter than a rock? Is anyone surprised by this novel piece of information?

      Such inspiring technological progress. It makes me wonder what other futuristic innovations we might be overlooking. Perhaps pillows without replaceable covers? Shavers without replaceable blades? Shoes without replaceable laces? Cars without replaceable tyres? Hopefully one day we can reach the Adhesive Singularity where everything is glued to everything else.

    Spot on. Who cares about gimmicks when basic ergonomy is hopeless? With headphones, there's 3 main priorities - make sure they only produce sound out of their speakers, make sure they fit well, and make sure they sound good according to the budget. Everything else is just a bonus. I don't care if the best headphones in the world are held down by an anvil, I won't use them because it's an ergonomic nightmare

And yes I've tried different headphones in this price range (Sony, Bose and Senheiser) - non of the mentioned above suit for me. Same with air pods - some people like them - others don't. The price for beats is bad tho.

    • @kaijuchomps4411
      @kaijuchomps4411 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      To be fair I do think they were more concerned with buying the tech for the sake of having a jump-start on developing the 1st Generation Airpods, and also the foundations of the ANC technology found in the Airpod Pro's and Max.
      Nowadays I think we're gonna see less beats products sharing the Apple chips (like here) because I think theyve got all they need to out of that purchase and now it really is just a brand.
      Why beats and not anyone else? I think that just comes down to the fact Beats and Apple already had quite the working relationship, and I think Apple wanted Beats Music as the foundation for what became Apple Music too.

    I received a pair of Beats Solo 3 a few years back, and I’ll just say that this informative review describes an experience very much like the one I had with the Solo W for 1yr until the ear-cup lining all disintegrated and completely fell off.
    And, although deeply annoyed by the clear push to upgrade by the headache-inducing ear-cups being non replaceable, & despite the rest of the cans still being functional, I would never want to replace the ear-cups for my ears to once again be greeted by such terrible sounding headphones.
    Needless to say, I didn’t upgrade to another pair of Beats. Well, I don’t think anyone really does, even if they purchase another pair. Rather, they continue the experience, and who would purposefully and intentionally do that to themselves?

    I got the Solo Pro around the time they got discounted (which wasn't that much time after they released) and it was miles improved from the previous solo lines of both Apple and especially Monster so I thought the Studio would follow but to my suprise, the Solo Pro got discontinued a year or so after its release and we get this thing.
    Maybe it was a cost cutting tactic for Apple since the Solo Pro was actually pretty well built and a noticeable upgrade from its predessor, unlike what we have right here. As far as I remember, the Solo Pro, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Flex, and Beats Studio Buds were the only ones that got decent and favorable reviews from people like MKBHD, UrAvgConsumer, CNET, and even audiophiles like JimsReviewRoom.

    I assume they need to be on whenever the 3.5mm is in because they may do some active EQing to make it sound better than it is.
    a sneaky way to make the audio better for cheap.
    $249 is astronomically too expensive for headphones like the beats since you can get earbuds for $20-30 that have a really close Harman target.

      You're correct, but Psychoacoustics (the thing youre referring to with the EQ while powered on) is common in almost every single wireless headphone at this point, especially Apple's Airpods Pro and the like. It isnt nessecarily a bad thing, it just turns out you can skimp a lot on driver development by tuning the signal perfectly enough to get the same effect.

    My Hot Take: The modus operandi of Western tech companies is to make their budget products deliberately worse, so they don't compete with their own premium products. And that's why they're losing to Chinese manufacturers, who just pack in as much functionality as possible (albeit sometimes too much).

    Hi Quinn, I really appreciate the review. My son just started college and has a roommate which makes comfortable Apple compatible headphones a must. He currently has the AirPods Pro 2 but he’s been complaining about how they hurt his ears after wearing them for extended periods. Again, this is in consideration of his roommate. Therefore, I’ve been looking for over-the-ear headphones for him. He uses his AirPods with his iPad and iPhone, so switching effortlessly between them is essential. What over-the-ear headphones would you suggest as an alternative for my son? I know you’re a busy guy but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

They don’t sound any better than my AirPods Max and when u consider these are currently $169 and the AirPods Max are $449 and NEVER get cheaper than that I would buy these in a heartbeat if your son needs something that works in the Apple ecosystem. For $349 I’d say no but at $169 they’re well worth it.

    Watching this review I got really curious what you would think of the Sennheiser Momentum 4's. I've used every wireless Momentum headphone of theirs and it's the first one that gave me this balance of great sounding bass and detailed highs. The original Momentum Wireless (basically the 1st and 2nd gen but wireless) had a great bass but muffled highs and mediocre mids. The Momentum 3's had great high's and mid's but the bass was not to my taste. It had a very fun kick which is fantastic while watching movies, but I didn't get the satisfying detail from it's bass. Color me surprised when I actually had to enable "bass boost" for the Momentum 4's to make the experience a bit more fun. I had to get used to them but now they're my daily drivers in rotation with my Airpods Pro 2 and the Airpods Max. While I prefer the sound of the Max, the M4 still sounds fantastic and I highly prefer them when I casually want to listen to some music or podcasts. Why? I never worry about them dying on me because the battery life is INSANE. With the way I use them I have to charge them maybe once every two weeks. While I charge my Max every 2 to 3 days.
    All in all a great review! Other reviews made me think it would've been a great replacement if my Airpods Max ever died, I genuinely was convinced. So thank you for this video.

    Objectively, these headphones are built like shit and that alone isnt worth its price for me. But i feel like some of the complaints past that are more of a nothingburger, such as:
    1) The controls, It's better than touch controls in my opinion and the playback controls mimic of remote talk cable like you would see on earphones and headphone cables. Yes, it feels like shit pressing it, but that's more of a complaint on its crappy 10-year-old build design instead.
    2) using the 3.5 mm is scientifically, not lossless. All of these active powered headphones are playing around with the digital signal, therefore 99% of them are going to be converting them back to digital first and then processing. Even Apple doesn't bullshit that with their own headphones, as shown in the Apple music lossless help page.
    3) It's tuning is a massive improvement over the bloody mess that was beats pre 2019. It's sub bass boost is not much different compared to the bloated garbage crap that is Sony's, the slight bass boost that is bose, or to mess that is the momentum 4s. Now technicalities, these headphones are mid and you'd be much better off buying some cheaper noise canceling headphones along with something else that would actually sound good for private chambers.
    3) gimmcks like find my are useless if you know how to keep your headphones. Plus apples methods of find my are useless if you don't have an iPhone, as well as most headphones with a find my like feature are just as limited.
    4) I agree that these headphones are hardly "over ear" headphones, but comfort is subjective and you're definitely some people that would find these very very comfortable compared to the overly spacious feeling that other over-ear headphones from their perspective.
    In my opinion, if you bought these headphones, you didn't make the worst purchase. Compared to the competition, the only thing it really lacks is just build quality.
