Unpopular opinion: This is one of my fav looking wireless earbuds. They look unique and tiny when wearing inside ears. I don't understand why peoples expecting much from these considering the affordable price, it's actually very good all-rounder. Also, USB-C ftw 👍🏼
Actually it's performance isn't any better than a $50 pair...get a set of soundpeats blow these out of the water in every way and is a third of the price.
@@ianwest1624 sorry mate I think you might be confused....never the looks at all ( I hate the looks anyway) and anything from apple head/ear phone wise is basically overpriced trash.
Great stuff as always Mark! And I'm really glad you will be making another video to compare against the Airpods Pro (which is sth I immediately thought of during your intro). Looking forward to it!
These are a great value! I got them and I like them more than my airpods and about as much as my wife’s pros. I love the sound and the noise cancellation was fantastic on a 7hr car ride. Transparency mode works but is just ok as you mentioned. The only area I’m disappointed in them is call clarity. Your voice will sound muffled and robotic. I actually do use my airpods a lot for work calls and I don’t think these can replace them for that reason. But for everything else I love them.
Although I believe that this review covers things pretty well I’m noticing a large omission a lot reviewers are leaving the Beats don’t have in-ear detection! and I think it’s also worth mentioning (although IMO in 2021 all true wireless should have but sadly don’t) that do offer individual support for either left or right earpiece.
That is true, and I did forget to mention it. But I don't think it's *that* big of a deal. I'll make a note to mention it in my comparison video with AirPods Pro considering they have it.
I’ve been using these for 2 full days now, I even went to the gym twice on the weekend because I enjoy wearing them so much. The sound quality is, IMO better than the AirPods Pro even. Especially since one of mine just sh*t the bed when I went for a normal every day run. Which is the reason I justified buying these even though I have the Powerbeats Pro. They are the most comfortable in ear buds I have ever used, and take my word, leave N/C & Transparency off and soak up the 8 hours of battery. The sound isolation alone is good enough to make these speakers rumble. Spatial Sound is on par with AirPods Pro as well. Only drawbacks are the battery isn’t instantly located and there’s no device switching without going into settings. These are a steal at $150 and they’ll be the only thing I recommend until the next best thing.
@@lorealdonae I have never had a problem with the AirPod Pros falling out unlike the OG AirPods, I’d towel my face off on the treadmill and one or both would go flying. The tips that these came with fit my ears like a glove as did the AP Pros. I might just be really lucky so I don’t want to give you wrong information because I’ve heard they don’t fit some people at all.
@@zk2357 I have seen reviews that make the audio calls sound as if they’re very “tinny”. I don’t talk on the phone all that much, but I made a few phone calls and I asked each person specifically how I sounded and they all said “like I was in the same room” - meaning it was clear on my end - and they sounded great on mine. Maybe it depends on the network quality, I’m not a professional, but without having someone else wear my buds and call me, I can’t say from personal experience. But I’d say they’re great based on others.
Wow I will respectively have to disagree. I got the beats buds for one day and instantly noticed a major decrease in sound quality compared to AirPods, pros or original. Returned them next day to Best Buy for the airpods
I have a pair of these and a pair of AirPod pros and I’m still trying to decide which ones I’m keeping out of the two. Both are so nice in their own ways. The AirPod Pros are so well rounded, clear and crisp. The Beats Studio Buds are also well rounded but more base heavy. I’m stuck here.
What wireless airpod has the best microphone? Love your reviews! I've been disappointed by the microphone mostly so far on the Apple airpod and looking for the best microphone
Hey Mark I have every model of Sony's earphones till the wh1000xm4's & I do believe they are pretty much bang for the buck but since the review's of the wf-1000xm4's have been slightly off putting. I am asking for your suggestion here which brand should be a value for money proposition in the premium priced segment?
@@rolins3279 Thanks brother. Actually I have used some of the Soundpeats and 1More they went dead on me after 4-5 months. Don't know how, but they did. As per your suggestion I will definitely look into Edifier and soundcore. Thanks again

Great review. I am buying them. I am convinced i will be getting more value of them than the $300 sony wf1000xm4. And this will be my 1st earbuds with ANC so i dont have anything to campare then from.
@@carlson2012abqb I’m still debating on getting them after I got the sennheiser momentum tw2. Are they loud? Do they hurt your ears after minutes of use? Because these 2 problems were the ones I had when I owned the sennheisers

@@mikepotapa5773 good choice man. The sennheisers were amazing but those 2 drawbacks were a major no for me especially for the price. Thanks for your input I’m going to buy the beats later in July. Hopefully they are worth it especially because I have an iphone
The fact that they’re cheaper than the original AirPods, it will kill it off for sure in due time. I have the AirPods Pro as my daily, but I don’t like using them for working out (personal preference). I also don’t like bringing them out in public. I feel like these would be great for daily use for when I go out. The fact that is has anc, yes it might not be the best, but it has that over the first gen airpods. Oh and changeable ear tips.
I found them to work great while working out, but it requires a good fit in your ear to keep from falling out. Powerbeats Pro will still be better for intensive workouts.
@@bro-hk5xz unlike jbl erbuds only 1 right earbud if you lost the right erbud left is useless as if right erbud is the only one connecting to bluetooth i wish i never buy it if i only knew it
Received mine from Apple yesterday and disagree with most of your review. Both ANC & transparency mode are below average. The mids & highs are very similar to the original AirPods, which isn’t saying much. They do feature a decent amount of bass, but the overall listening experience is subpar. The cheap, plastic case is far inferior to the AirPods Pro case. It just has a very cheap look and feel. The overall vibe is cheap…the antithesis of premium. Apple should have passed on releasing these.
I preordered these, used them for about a week, and took em back. They're not better than the AirPod Pros and your voice will sound muffled on phone calls.
Maybe there be firmware update still new item they might fix active noise cancelling and microphones making phone calls apple good making updates on their devices
Agree I love mine but I'm a android user and my favorite music is rap and bass heavy songs so for me these are perfect for my music style and I had bought JBL free buds awhile back at 100 dollars and I'm being honest and they literally fall out immediately when I put them in idk if it's because I have small ears idk but that the second earbuds I had that fall right out of my ear so I literally have the JBL free buds to my dad for free because he was able to wear them without issue but me no so these beats imo are the best fitting earbuds I have ever tried and feel very comfortable in the ear I even forgot there in my ears sometimes so that's why imo I love these ear buds well worth the 150 to me my only issue was the USB C to USB C cord I have OnePlus 8 pro and it's USB C to USB standard plug and I only have one cord and I charge my phone and ear buds every night so that there both charged and ready the next day so I had to actually go buy a USB C to C adapter to be able to charge both at the same time each night
Beats have a very bad image in France. It’s usually for people when only listen to hip hop snd who wear basketball shoes even when they are not planning to play basketball that day.
What’s wrong with wearing basketball shoes and not planning to play? Lol the shoes look nice many people wear them casually. You sound pretty judgmental.

Apple is a ruthless company. They are simply tanking them. They could care less.
