Final verdictĪfter wearing these cans around for the past three weeks, I understand why the Beats Studio Wireless headphones are so appealing. Still, the functionality of the headset is spot-on and, for some, that will be enough. Plus, the lack of a mixer or tie-in to Beats's surprisingly pleasing music streaming service are potential points lost. But when they're astoundingly similar in almost every way to a $250 pair of headphones released last year, well, that's a tough pill to swallow.
Sure, they sound fine and look even better. Getting it out of the way, the exorbitant price tag. There aren't many headphones that I'd wear outside the house, but the Beats exude style wherever you take them. The reflective black exterior with red accents makes a lasting impact. They're one of the sleekest sets of headphones, too. Active and passive noise cancellation work in tandem to create an almost ideal listening environment, drowning out all but the most grating of annoyances. They produce a rich, full sound and are extremely comfortable, thanks to the supple earcups. With an overwhelming adoration for bass, the Beats Studio Wireless headphones are resonant and intense.
