I’m more of a low end kinda guy with music so I went with the beats. Beats is no stranger to making production sound crisp & honestly, that $100 difference really shifted me. I made a great choice 👍🏽 also went with the red ones & they’re so clean. That matte finish is better in person.
Got the Airpods Pro and started to consider the Beats because they definitely look cooler, but nothing he said convinced me to switch (not that he was trying to). I use my AirPods for everything from listening to music and podcasts to meditation and reading (with ambient sounds) to work video conferences to telephone calls and FaceTime to watching movies in Spatial Audio. The seamless switching from iPhone to iPad is so useful. The Beats just wouldn’t be able to do all of these tasks as well as the AirPods.
I’ve owned my AirPods Pro’s since they released and they still sound great. I don’t think I would ever upgrade until they stop working which might be along time from now.
Okay. I have the pros. I work in a loud cooler warehouse where when we talk to each other we yeal a bit. I had to replace my right AirPod Pro twice because the noise cancellation speaker that’s placed on the outside of the airpod literally sounded like it was a blown speaker. I noticed it was cuz my loud talking in the warehouse was busting the speaker. I told this to Apple both times I went to replace them. So does the beats have an outside noise cancellation speaker too? I don’t see one on the outer space of it.
Apple AirPods pro and Max have superior audio quality surpassing pure audio brands such as Bose, Senneheiser, B&W etc. Beats is another iconic brand from Apple but Apple will never let its sub-brand outshine 🍎
The AirPods Pro have these annoying cackling rattling noise on the right earbud when it’s on transparency and noise canceling mode. It’s annoying. Is it same for beats too?
who buys airpods on apple's stores for $249. I bought mine on best buy for $180 the pro edition. i just don't understand the difference between buy them on Apple's store or elsewhere.
I had the airpod first gen and then bought the beats studio and they were a downgrade always fell out very uncomfortable noise wasn’t great case wasn’t strong the sound would break up to quick I bought the airpod pros and was very pleased beats are very overrated and now good at all
I like the beat buds but im always constantly on calls and everytime I adjust the earbuds I keep clicking the button to where it makes me end the call, is there a way to change that?
Changed from the AirPods Pro to the Beats Studio Buds. The former had issues with audio crackle issues along with having a muffled transparency mode. It has great bass compared to the former and I honestly like it way more. Its only downside to me is the lack of the H1 chip which makes it inconvenient to check the battery's specific battery widget (can only view it through a battery bar) and I can only use the "Hey Siri" feature if the phone is near unlike the AirPods Pro which responds to the earbuds themselves. TL;DR - great buy!
i’ve had both, returned the airpod pros for the beats buds. THEYRE SOOOOO MUCH better for ppl who like speakers in their ears hahaha. only downside, they connect to your phone slower than airpods when opening
This is the exact review, word for word I would give. My left airpod pro died about 6 months ago. Whistled, had static with the bass… We all know we’ll get a new Pro and the Beats Buds are phenomenal in the interim at the price.
Had the same issue with static on my AirPods after about the same time tho sometimes it’ll freak out and noise will go completely away for a few hours lol
I tried them for the first time in months just now - and the left earbud only has static when there’s movement. Like chewing gum is a nightmare. Jogging, forget it. My AirPods are garbage now. I’ll get the next ones, but I used the Beats Buds on an airplane yesterday and I enjoyed them a lot more than my AirPods Max. Less is more. And the sound is fine.
@@DaveCondie the popping/static noise is a known issue on the pros. They have to be manufactured before oct 2020 but are covered for that concern for up to 2 years after purchase free of charge
FYI: The latest Studio Buds firmware update includes volume control on the buds, as well as iCloud switching between Apple devices. You might want to add this info to your notes above, Mark. Otherwise, great review.
I have both. If you mainly listen to music I recommend the Beats. If you use your buds to watch movies, tv, etc the spatial audio feature on the Apple Pros are well worth the extra money.
1 very important category is missing: the mic quality during calls. I like the low end rendering of the beats, but family and friends kept telling me they couldn't hear me well with them. I now use the pro as my main buds, and the beats only as a backup.
Definitely the win is the AirPods Pro but the problem is it doesn’t last even a year, bought twice and whenever reaches 6th month the left side/buds fails.
Exaxtly the case with me I was at my 8th month and the left side wont pair and dead. Wont show any sign of pairing or show up. Luckily I had a month of warranty left and they replaced it.
I did countless comparisons myself and tons of videos on TH-cam. The Beats have more of that bass so I prefer that especially for the gym. The AirPods give off a clearer sound and are great for phone calls but to me they lacked in that bass department which was a big turn off for me personally. The beats are not the way the go for phone calls. All in all, it honestly depends on what you want them for. Keep in mind, apple makes both products.
I literally returned the beats buds to get AirPod pro because of comfort I wear a ski mask at work and with the buds Im always adjusting the fit every five minutes I love the design and what it has to offer but once I saw the AirPod pro I chose a winner
My only concern is the lifespan. The AirPods Pro seems to be a disposable product since the battery tends to die after 2-3 years, which makes it harder for me to justify the price.
Yup and honestly, that is why I wouldnt spend more than say a hundred dollars on true wireless. The best pair I got are the Anker liberty Air 2 pro, and as someone who has extensively used the Airpods pro, the ANC and App support on these is so much better. I find it weird that not many youtubers talk about how good the noise cancelling is on the Anker buds. Hell, I bought and returned the Sony Wf-1000XM4 and while it was really good Audio wise, the ANC and general jankiness of the whole fit and foam tips really made me regret spending 300 on them. Spending more than 150 on true wireless is a waste of money right now, that is until they start having 12-15 hour battery life, where the degradation happens over a longer period of time than it does for a pair that lasts for 4-5 hours.
Which one is better for phone calls? I don’t want my caller complaining about how the quality of my voice sucks. Which one is better for phone conversation-like?
I own Studio Buds, and have had them for almost a year now. Recently I used a friend’s pair of Airpod Pros, and I fell in love with them. The Airpods fit in my ear better (the Beats do too, but Airpods don’t fall out as easily) and the transparency and noise cancellation modes on the Airpods blew me away compared to my Beats. Hopefully I can get a pair of the better Airpod Pros Gen 2 which might separate the Beats and Airpods even further.
The other way around for me, the beats stay in my ear vs pros fall out, none of the tips work, and always slides out. The classic AirPods is still my favorite, they never slip out.
I got these for $89 at Best Buy. Love them. Wasn’t in the mood to spend $149-$249 for a pair of headphones. Especially when one of the only really differences between the AirPods 3rd Generation and AirPods Pro 2nd generation is noise cancellation. I’m not paying $100 more for noise cancellation lol.
I still think my Powerbeats Pro's beat both of these despite the lack of features. I purely use them for music and youtube so the secure fit and long battery life and great balanced sound are the key features for me. Plus they are built like tanks and are comfortable for my ears. Totally different features for a different buyer but still I prefer them for this reason.
I actually bought power beats pro's the month they came out. They were absolutely amazing!!! Sadly the battery life after the 2 plus years of abuse has dropped to about 10 minutes per bud. The earhook also broke off after about a year and a half. Given the holiday sales I decided to finally buy a set of earbuds. I bought the beats studio buds, they are honestly exactly what I needed. Better fit and more secure fit than airpods. To me they sound better than both airpods pro but not as good as the power beats pro. I would've bought a new set of airpods pro, however I love ANC, I've had Bose qc 35's for years and having that tech in earbuds is a must after always having it in your headphones. imo beats studio buds are a great buy at holiday prices just wish they sounded as good as the power beats pro
I bought the air pods pro and I can genuinely say I don’t regret my purchase one bit. I use an iPhone so I get all the benefits of being in the ecosystem. I also take calls at work so having the better mic and the easy transparency switching to talk to other people won it for me.
@Christian Gormley As someone who owned both i fucking hate the beats, the case is too big and the battery life is not good as advertised with anc, and tbh ANC was better im the airpods
@Christian Gormley still the AirPods win it for me. I prefer the style, the size of case and the easy switching between transparency mode etc. and as I said I use Apple products like the phone and watch so they fit in perfectly.
@@vealxs338 idk, I use my beats all day everyday and they last usually 2-3 days before I need to recharge the case and my AirPods I had to charge every single night.
I hope they release a firmware update for the beats studio buds to fix the hissing and voice quality. I like them better than my airpods pro because of the black color that I chose sound quality and they last longer than my airpods pro. Good comparison video 👍🏽
I’ve rocked the Apple AirPods since they debuted but have recently been having issues where phone calls aren’t clear or just plain don’t work and random disconnects. Considering switching to beats after the AirPods just not holding up well overtime it seems like.
earbuds in general will break faster than any of the headphones they are small and easy to break. As much as I love the new beats buds they'll eventually break after a few months of usage
@@ICY_Adox I’ve been using the same hands elite 65t’s for over 3yrs now and I’ve had no issues at all with them but you aren’t technically wrong, cheaper manufacturing does lend to faults over time nowadays
I’ve had the AirPod pros for the past year and a half and they don’t seem to stay in my ear I’m constantly having to push them in. I am an ironworker so I’m welding all day listening to music and podcasts. When they start to die I charge them during my lunch break which is only 30 minutes. By the time I put them back in I only get another hour or two of listening time for the rest of the day. I recently bought the beats and i’m in love. They stay in my ear never fall out and are super comfortable. Also I enjoy pushing the button a lot more than having a sensor from the AirPods. By the time I go to lunch my headphones are still at 60% I put them in the case for 30 minutes and when I return to work they are at 95%. I love these headphones hands down no comparison at all💯
I had some AirPods Pro ages ago and lost them. So I decided to buy some Beats Studio Buds in black and I am really impressed with the sound quality and the heavy bass. I absolutely love my earbuds and use them to casually listen to music and podcasts at home and travel. I hones think that they are better than the AirPods I had. Great Review!!!
I bought the AirPods Pro about three years ago and now only one earbud works and ever since I bought it it always made rattling noise in any mode smh waste of money 🤦🏽♂️
AirPods Pro are leagues better than the Studio Beats. I returned the latter within hours of receiving them, as they’re some of the worst sounding earbuds I’ve purchased.
Well people use earphones for a long duration in todays world and not too loud. So it doesnt matter if ipod is better at high voices. Its all about duration and hearing those small sounds at the back without having to turn the volume up…
I agree with almost everything you stated except for the noise cancellation. I’ve owned both ear buds and the obvious winner is beats. The comfortable seal the beats has reduces a lot of noise without the use of active noise cancellation, with it on it completely blocks out sound with music on.
My partial scores: 1. Beats (although it's a draw if comfort also counts). 2. AirPods Pro (I don't like in-ear designs). 3. Beats (I'm OK with not having Wireless, but Not having USB-C is a no-no to me).
Hmm weird, i was in a conference call and ppl noticed my voice was clearer with my studio buds than my prev AirPods Pro, might been the mic been wearing out after 2 year
Being in Canada, there is one more thing to consider. BEING IN CANADA! For me, the beats are $170 CAD or $190CAD after tax. plus shipping, I paid $203 for the beats. BUT, for us in Canada, those Air Pods Pro are $330CAD or $373 after tax and probably $400 almost with shipping. NO THANK YOU. you are not paying for product here. You are paying for a name, and a name that I don' think is all that spectacular.
Great video man, love the detail! I’ve had the AirPods Pro since 2019 and I’ve owned two pairs of beats studio buds and personally the sound quality on the AirPod pros are levels above the beats. I saw all the positive reviews and hoped for at least decent sound quality for the beats (I love my Powerbeats and solo pros) but the studio buds were just muddy all around. ear pressure was a concern and the transparency mode was unnatural. Even the hey Siri functionality was inferior as it completely stops the music to listen to your voice rather than simply lower the volume like the AirPods, Powerbeats, and solo pros do. (No review ever mentions this)
Thanks for your information. If I had one airpod pro not working, should I go grab a pair of these? I love the look of the beats and was thinking to get a pair very soon. Is the pressure/noise cancellation as bad as they say and would you go so far as to say that you wouldn’t recommend the beats? Thanks!
@@noahk9204 if I were to recommend off my personal experience, yes I would still just get another pair of AirPods Pro’s (they’re finally on discount at Best Buy and target I believe) But as you can see on TH-cam there are many positive reviews for the beats studio buds so maybe your experience will be good too! It’s worth a try and just return them if they aren’t for you. I agree that they look amazing, which is why I bought a couple pairs myself last week. I’m a huge beats fan too. But yes a huge issue for me was that I got used to the amazing notice cancellation and transparency of the AirPods and the studio buds are definitely not up to par with them. The sound quality is not as crisp and the ear pressure was because the beats don’t have as strong vents as the AirPods.
@@mambaforever24. thanks for your info! I was debating on which ones to get but seems like the AirPods Pro seem to be the better option also they are on discounts similar price to the beats
I prefer bass of the Beats always, cause I love electronic music and some trap music. For me it’s the best option ever for a lower price. Thanks for the review, you have a new subscriber. 😎💪🏻
DOENST matter if you wear AirPods Pro or beats, anyone who sees any of them would say they’re wearing apple. Plus beats offer u everything for a lot lesser price that u get on the AirPods Pro. Going for the beats
nothing will ever beat my powerbeats pros (though i hate how big and bulky the case is), i was just looking for a backup i guess for when my powerbeats battery dies and i have to wait for them to charge or if i wanna carry earbuds around in my pocket. i think i’ll go with the studio buds, they offer a lot considering the price, they look nice and the brand consistency is just satisfying.
after 3 years and 1 month of hard wear and tear on my powerbeats, my left piece, after 20 mins from being fully charged, goes dead like drained dead. it's bad
I had both ( I lost my AirPods Pro😭) in my opinion the bass is heavier in the beats than the pros but the volume I feel is louder in the pros and the noise cancellation i think is also better in the beats but other than that everything else is just about the same for me. And the fact that the beats don’t pause the music when you take one out
Paid close to $400 in Australia for my AirPods Pro. About 12 months later, they are failing me. Extremely disappointed in Apple as of late, so I'm looking to an alternative. Yes Beats is owned by Apple, but if it truly had Apples flare and values, it would be another AirPods Pro 2.0.
Ive tested both, my friend has the beats and the beats sound quality is a little worse. Like the instruments sometimes you can't separate them apart, it sounds mushed up together
Great video bro, very informative...Thumbs up. Can you also attach the link for the colourful wireless charge that you placed the Airpod pro on @2:16 of the video. I like it.
I bought the Beats pro Buds and it was such a disappointment!!!!!!!! It sounds awful compared to the AirPods Pro. Very flat sound, almost no Bass which I was surprised considering it’s Beats and the NC feature is a joke !!! Stay away from this earbuds . Specially if you’re an iPhone user AirPods Pro is a much better choice, no wonder why it costs so much more.
I think you forgot to mention Spatial Audio and dynamic head tracking on theAirPods pro, those are pretty big incentives to leave out on the AirPods Pro
@@jshap6551 mate, it doesn’t, there’s ANC and transparency mode, but no Spatial Audio or Dynamic Head Tracking. I’d post a link but TH-cam keeps removing my comment when I do, go through website, you’ll see for yourself.

Just here because my airpods pro is about to retire and I'm planning to get the beats studio buds next. 😊
Update: I end up getting the beats fit pro.
To be totally honest I like the unnatural feel of the beats' transparency mode, I don't totally know why, but I think it's pretty cool.
Transparency mode is one of the things that almost every company suck at…. Except apple.
I still think my Powerbeats Pro's beat both of these despite the lack of features. I purely use them for music and youtube so the secure fit and long battery life and great balanced sound are the key features for me. Plus they are built like tanks and are comfortable for my ears. Totally different features for a different buyer but still I prefer them for this reason.
that’s a completely different earbud and a different price but I’m sure they work great for your needs
I actually bought power beats pro's the month they came out. They were absolutely amazing!!! Sadly the battery life after the 2 plus years of abuse has dropped to about 10 minutes per bud. The earhook also broke off after about a year and a half. Given the holiday sales I decided to finally buy a set of earbuds. I bought the beats studio buds, they are honestly exactly what I needed. Better fit and more secure fit than airpods. To me they sound better than both airpods pro but not as good as the power beats pro. I would've bought a new set of airpods pro, however I love ANC, I've had Bose qc 35's for years and having that tech in earbuds is a must after always having it in your headphones. imo beats studio buds are a great buy at holiday prices just wish they sounded as good as the power beats pro
U fr power beats pro are worse than the beats fit pro
Fr my Powerbeats pros sound amazing
I chose apple airpods over the beats because I hate the rubber ear buds of the beats. Won't stay in my ears and feel intrusive.
I bought the air pods pro and I can genuinely say I don’t regret my purchase one bit. I use an iPhone so I get all the benefits of being in the ecosystem. I also take calls at work so having the better mic and the easy transparency switching to talk to other people won it for me.
@Christian Gormley As someone who owned both i fucking hate the beats, the case is too big and the battery life is not good as advertised with anc, and tbh ANC was better im the airpods
@Christian Gormley still the AirPods win it for me. I prefer the style, the size of case and the easy switching between transparency mode etc. and as I said I use Apple products like the phone and watch so they fit in perfectly.
@@vealxs338 idk, I use my beats all day everyday and they last usually 2-3 days before I need to recharge the case and my AirPods I had to charge every single night.
@@lizmaryf7892 I wanted to get airpods but the realized that at school I see everyone with airpods frequently charging them
I bought beats cuz everyone has airpods. Idk i just want to be different lol
so a big deciding factor for me has been that Airpod pros are $175 on amazon right now. That price drop has been a big reason for my purchase
I got the beats studio buds for 90

It’s not as good as airpod pro at all
i bought the airpods and returned them for beats studio buds. airpods fall out when i scratch my balls. imagine if i run
I hope they release a firmware update for the beats studio buds to fix the hissing and voice quality. I like them better than my airpods pro because of the black color that I chose sound quality and they last longer than my airpods pro. Good comparison video 👍🏽
Would you say that the beats studio buds sound better than the airpods pro ?
Please make a lava lamp review
I’ve rocked the Apple AirPods since they debuted but have recently been having issues where phone calls aren’t clear or just plain don’t work and random disconnects. Considering switching to beats after the AirPods just not holding up well overtime it seems like.
earbuds in general will break faster than any of the headphones they are small and easy to break. As much as I love the new beats buds they'll eventually break after a few months of usage
@@ICY_Adox I’ve been using the same hands elite 65t’s for over 3yrs now and I’ve had no issues at all with them but you aren’t technically wrong, cheaper manufacturing does lend to faults over time nowadays
I’ve had the AirPod pros for the past year and a half and they don’t seem to stay in my ear I’m constantly having to push them in. I am an ironworker so I’m welding all day listening to music and podcasts. When they start to die I charge them during my lunch break which is only 30 minutes. By the time I put them back in I only get another hour or two of listening time for the rest of the day. I recently bought the beats and i’m in love. They stay in my ear never fall out and are super comfortable. Also I enjoy pushing the button a lot more than having a sensor from the AirPods. By the time I go to lunch my headphones are still at 60% I put them in the case for 30 minutes and when I return to work they are at 95%. I love these headphones hands down no comparison at all💯
I had some AirPods Pro ages ago and lost them. So I decided to buy some Beats Studio Buds in black and I am really impressed with the sound quality and the heavy bass. I absolutely love my earbuds and use them to casually listen to music and podcasts at home and travel. I hones think that they are better than the AirPods I had. Great Review!!!
Me too!
This is what I’m thinking of doing as I don’t wanna fork out another 325$ for new AirPods
I bought the AirPods Pro about three years ago and now only one earbud works and ever since I bought it it always made rattling noise in any mode smh waste of money 🤦🏽♂️
AirPods Pro are leagues better than the Studio Beats. I returned the latter within hours of receiving them, as they’re some of the worst sounding earbuds I’ve purchased.
Well people use earphones for a long duration in todays world and not too loud. So it doesnt matter if ipod is better at high voices. Its all about duration and hearing those small sounds at the back without having to turn the volume up…
I agree with almost everything you stated except for the noise cancellation. I’ve owned both ear buds and the obvious winner is beats. The comfortable seal the beats has reduces a lot of noise without the use of active noise cancellation, with it on it completely blocks out sound with music on.
I agree bro
Bro forgot to change the tip size now wonder they didn’t fit his ear
It doesn’t matter both are good and they do a good job on both sides. The only thing is that beats have more battery
and quality high music and bass
Mine are broken then because my bf has the pros and uses noise cancellation and they last a lot longer than my beats
My AirPods 2nd gen beats both of these 2..,,only paid $79.🤣😂
My partial scores:
1. Beats (although it's a draw if comfort also counts).
2. AirPods Pro (I don't like in-ear designs).
3. Beats (I'm OK with not having Wireless, but Not having USB-C is a no-no to me).
Beats Studio buds are usb-c
@@eschofield9857 That was why I picked Beats over AirPods Pro.
My brother just gave me his beats they’re like brand new too w
Hmm weird, i was in a conference call and ppl noticed my voice was clearer with my studio buds than my prev AirPods Pro, might been the mic been wearing out after 2 year
I LIKE THE COLOR OPTIONS WITH BEATS. I WORK ON CARS FOR A LIVING AND THE AIRPODS GET DIRTY RATHER EASY.
Great Analysis and comparison on both earbuds. I own both earbuds and everything you said was spot on accurate.
Which one should I get? I'm getting one of em
Being in Canada, there is one more thing to consider. BEING IN CANADA! For me, the beats are $170 CAD or $190CAD after tax. plus shipping, I paid $203 for the beats. BUT, for us in Canada, those Air Pods Pro are $330CAD or $373 after tax and probably $400 almost with shipping. NO THANK YOU. you are not paying for product here. You are paying for a name, and a name that I don' think is all that spectacular.
Great video man, love the detail! I’ve had the AirPods Pro since 2019 and I’ve owned two pairs of beats studio buds and personally the sound quality on the AirPod pros are levels above the beats. I saw all the positive reviews and hoped for at least decent sound quality for the beats (I love my Powerbeats and solo pros) but the studio buds were just muddy all around. ear pressure was a concern and the transparency mode was unnatural. Even the hey Siri functionality was inferior as it completely stops the music to listen to your voice rather than simply lower the volume like the AirPods, Powerbeats, and solo pros do. (No review ever mentions this)
Thanks for your information. If I had one airpod pro not working, should I go grab a pair of these? I love the look of the beats and was thinking to get a pair very soon. Is the pressure/noise cancellation as bad as they say and would you go so far as to say that you wouldn’t recommend the beats? Thanks!
@@noahk9204 if I were to recommend off my personal experience, yes I would still just get another pair of AirPods Pro’s (they’re finally on discount at Best Buy and target I believe)
But as you can see on TH-cam there are many positive reviews for the beats studio buds so maybe your experience will be good too!
It’s worth a try and just return them if they aren’t for you. I agree that they look amazing, which is why I bought a couple pairs myself last week. I’m a huge beats fan too.
But yes a huge issue for me was that I got used to the amazing notice cancellation and transparency of the AirPods and the studio buds are definitely not up to par with them. The sound quality is not as crisp and the ear pressure was because the beats don’t have as strong vents as the AirPods.
@@mambaforever24. thanks for your info! I was debating on which ones to get but seems like the AirPods Pro seem to be the better option also they are on discounts similar price to the beats
@@iHykt yessir! I promise you’ll love the AirPods Pro much more. The noise canceling is legit
@@mambaforever24. also do you think the beats are louder than the AirPod pros ? And how’s the bass on both of these ? Thanks again
I had to give up Airpods pro because of the silicon buds causing me ear Allergy. Beats has silicon tips ? Or similar to AirPods pro. Thank you
Apple vs Apple and Apple won, nice
Watching this with an AirPod Pro in one ear and one beats bud in the other ear 😎
Which do u prefer?
@@ruisu919 AirPods Pro everyt time
@@orhansreview9627 🧢😂
AirPods are overrated
True! So many people think Airpods are the best earbuds to buy.
@@ddominck_I bought the Beats Studio buds on sale and definitely recommend them
I prefer bass of the Beats always, cause I love electronic music and some trap music. For me it’s the best option ever for a lower price. Thanks for the review, you have a new subscriber. 😎💪🏻
yes and that is why i got the powerbeats pro
I love EDM especially trance should i choose beats?
@@UnToughtReaper1 Of course, you’ll not be disappointed.
@Damian Wójcikiewicz if you’re looking for bass try the Beats. 🙌🏻
DOENST matter if you wear AirPods Pro or beats, anyone who sees any of them would say they’re wearing apple. Plus beats offer u everything for a lot lesser price that u get on the AirPods Pro. Going for the beats
I had both and honestly I think beats are better, they are designed for the sound besides more comfortable
Whats about noise reduction?
@@dawidmlody7657 they have nous cancelation too
I own Beats Studio buds and I own AirPods Pro and I don’t know which one is better
nothing will ever beat my powerbeats pros (though i hate how big and bulky the case is), i was just looking for a backup i guess for when my powerbeats battery dies and i have to wait for them to charge or if i wanna carry
earbuds around in my pocket. i think i’ll go with the studio buds, they offer a lot considering the price, they look nice and the brand consistency is just satisfying.
after 3 years and 1 month of hard wear and tear on my powerbeats, my left piece, after 20 mins from being fully charged, goes dead like drained dead. it's bad
The beats sound better he lied on that part!!
I had both ( I lost my AirPods Pro😭) in my opinion the bass is heavier in the beats than the pros but the volume I feel is louder in the pros and the noise cancellation i think is also better in the beats but other than that everything else is just about the same for me. And the fact that the beats don’t pause the music when you take one out
This is such a good review wow I’m definitely buying the beats lol
I bet you are
Paid close to $400 in Australia for my AirPods Pro. About 12 months later, they are failing me. Extremely disappointed in Apple as of late, so I'm looking to an alternative. Yes Beats is owned by Apple, but if it truly had Apples flare and values, it would be another AirPods Pro 2.0.
Ive tested both, my friend has the beats and the beats sound quality is a little worse. Like the instruments sometimes you can't separate them apart, it sounds mushed up together
Great video bro, very informative...Thumbs up. Can you also attach the link for the colourful wireless charge that you placed the Airpod pro on @2:16 of the video. I like it.
I bought the Beats pro Buds and it was such a disappointment!!!!!!!! It sounds awful compared to the AirPods Pro. Very flat sound, almost no Bass which I was surprised considering it’s Beats and the NC feature is a joke !!! Stay away from this earbuds . Specially if you’re an iPhone user
AirPods Pro is a much better choice, no wonder why it costs so much more.
I mean I own a pair of them and they sound very good in the base is very good so must be something wrong with yours
I susbscribed a couple of months ago. This is probably one of the most underrated tech channels on TH-cam!
Thank you!!
I think you forgot to mention Spatial Audio and dynamic head tracking on theAirPods pro, those are pretty big incentives to leave out on the AirPods Pro
They both have that
@@jshap6551 no, the Beats don’t come with that
@@Chris24_ they do have it, the beats have spatial audio
@@jshap6551 mate, it doesn’t, there’s ANC and transparency mode, but no Spatial Audio or Dynamic Head Tracking. I’d post a link but TH-cam keeps removing my comment when I do, go through website, you’ll see for yourself.
@@Chris24_ then how come I'm using the spatial audio head tracking with my beats studio buds right now
