It’s only the second offer in 2024 at $150 off and comes within $30 of the all-time low from Black Friday. These are some of our favorite headphones on the market right now, and ourhands-on reviewwalks you through just why that’s the case.

If you’re still waiting for AirPods Max to get a refresh and can’t justify spending full price on a pair of headphones with a Lightning port, theBeats Studio Proare your next best option. These recently-released headphones arrive as a new flagship in the lineup with an over-ear listening experience and all the bells and whistles you’d expect from that front runner status.

Centered around active noise cancellation, there’s also a companion transparency mode to go alongside the even more exciting inclusion of Personalized Spatial Audio and Dynamic Head tracking. We found them to be the better buy over AirPods Max inthat reviewwe noted above, and I’ve personally been enjoying them myself.

This discounts the unlocked 256GB smartphone down from its original $899 going rate to one of the lowest prices yet. It’s $263 off and a new Amazon low – although we did see Woot offer it for less back in February when it dropped to $590. This is the second-best offer to date.

iPhone 14 is still one of the latest releases from Apple, and now it’s an even better value following the launch last fall on the new iPhone 15 series. It comes centered around a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and complete with an A15 Bionic chip. It powers the whole iOS experience you’re familiar with alongside new features like Emergency SOS via satellite connectivity and crash detection. There are three storage capacities available, all of which come in one of four different colorways. There’s a dual camera system around the back, with the usual Face ID module up above the screen, too.

FAQs

Can Beats Studio Pro connect to multiple devices? ›

You can even listen losslessly while charging the Studio Pro when they're connected to an Android phone. I will note that there's no multipoint connection for Apple devices, though the Studio Pros can intelligently switch between an Android device and a Chromebook.

Do Beats Studio Pro pause when you take them off? ›

The Studio Pro have largely been a joy to use — until I have to take them off, that is. Beats' headphones lack the automatic head detection found on rivals like the AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000XM5, meaning your music won't automatically pause as soon as you take the cans off your head.

Do the Beats Studio Pro have the H1 chip? ›

Unlike other Beats headphones, like the Beats Solo Pro Wireless, they don't have an H1 or W1 chip, but they support One-Touch Pairing with iOS devices and Google Fast Pair with Android phones.

Do Beats switch between Apple devices? ›

Yes, the Beats Studio Pro can automatically switch between iPhone, iPad, and MacBook under certain conditions: Like AirPods, the Studio Pro uses the Apple W1 chip, which enables Bluetooth 5.0 and multi-device pairing. This allows it to remember multiple devices and potentially switch between them.

Is Beats own by Apple? ›

Beats was acquired by Apple Inc.

What is the battery life of Beats Studio Pro? ›

Battery life

The Beats Studio Pro are rated for up to 40 hours of playback with noise canceling off (at 50% volume level) and up to 24 hours with noise canceling or transparency mode on. You may even do better than that based on my experience.

Are new Beats coming out in 2024? ›

It is clear from Beats' previous releases that the company prefers to launch its on-ear headphones in the Autumn. Now that we have officially entered spring, we are gearing up for the company's preferred release window. This makes a 2024 summer or autumn launch likely.

Can you use Beats Studio Pro without a battery? ›

Unfortunately — and this is a huge downside for the Beats Studio — the headphones only work with batteries installed and the noise canceling switch flipped on. There is no passive setting devoid of noise canceling that does not need battery power.

Can you sleep with Beats Studio Pro? ›

Beats Studio Pro fit snug enough to wear comfortably for at least three hours at a time (you can also sleep in them, which is great for anyone looking for headphones to wear on a flight, listen to music, watch TV or stream videos before bed).

Do Beats Pro have a built in mic? ›

There's a microphone in each Powerbeats Pro earbud, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your earbuds can act as the microphone. If you're using only one earbud, that earbud will be the microphone.

What does the Apple chip do in the Beats headphones? ›

The H1 chip can automatically play and pause music when an earbud is removed, and can put the earbuds to sleep when they are placed on a table or surface — even when they are outside the case.

Can you increase the bass on Beats Studio Pros? ›

How can I adjust the bass levels on my Beats Studio Pro for a better listening experience? To adjust bass levels, use the equalizer on your audio device to increase the lower frequency bands. This will give you a richer and deeper bass sound for a more immersive listening experience.

Are Beats trackable on iPhone? ›

How far away can Beats connect to iPhone? ›

Beats Studio 3 Wireless are supported by the Class 1 Bluetooth via the Apple W1 chip providing extreme range. Class 1 devices are rated for about 300 feet and stay connected through walls and doors about 45 feet.

Do Beats only connect to iPhones? ›

Compatible with iOS and Android

These features are built in to iOS with no app required, and Beats Studio Buds automatically pair across your Apple ecosystem for one-touch pairing with all your devices. iPhone users can also activate Siri hands-free just by saying “Hey Siri”.

How many devices can Beats Pro connect to? ›

While you can connect up to 8 phones on the Powerbeats Pro...you canNOT have 2 android phones simultaneously able to receive calls.

Can Beats headphones connect to two devices at once? ›

No, a Bluetooth headset can only be connected to one device at a time. To use it with another device, you would need to disconnect it from the current device and pair it with the new one.

How do I connect my Beats to a second device? ›

Pair with an Android device

With the case lid open, hold your Beats Studio Buds or your Beats Studio Buds + near your phone or tablet. When you get a notification, tap "Tap to pair." You'll get a "Device connected" or "Pairing complete" notification.

Can Beats Studio buds connect to two devices at once? ›

The Studio Buds + pair also lacks dual-device connectivity, which again isn't a problem if you're solely switching between Apple devices—but for any other Bluetooth devices, you have to manually disconnect and reconnect to switch audio sources.
