Description

Next-generation Beats Studio headphones with enchanced sound, 20-hour rechargeable batteries, and more.

One of the world's most popular headphones have been completely redesigned and reimagined. The new Beats Studio is lighter, sexier, stronger, and more comfortable, with precision sound, Adaptive Noise Canceling, a 20-hour rechargeable battery, and RemoteTalk. It has all the energy and excitement you expect from Beats, plus a powerful, reengineered sound.

FEE L YOUR MUSIC
The Beats Acoustic Engine makes your listening experience intimate, personal, and real with a signature DSP software that is designed to generate the emotional experience that Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, and some of the music industry's greatest rock, hip-hop, pop, electronic, and R&B producers want you to feel. This is how music would sound if the artist could play it back for you in person.

PUT THE WORLD ON MUTE
Silence the noise from your daily commute or the drama from your loud neighbors with no-compromise dual-mode Adaptive Noise Canceling. When you're listening to music, ANC automatically strikes a balance between your music and the world outside. If you only want to use the headphone to cancel external noise, ANC only mode automatically increases the level of noise cancellation, for a quieter world.

WHAT BATTERIES?
Dead batteries can kill your vibe in a flash. The New Beats Studio fixes this with a 20-hour rechargeable battery. To prevent wasting energy, the Auto On/Off feature turns off the headphone when you unplug, and with the visible Battery Fuel Gauge, you always know how much juice is available. Forget specialized adapters; the New Studio can be charged via micro USB almost anywhere.

LIGHTER, STRONGER, AND MORE COMFORTABLE
These legendary headphones have been redesigned and reimagined with the precision of a high-end sports car. The New Beats Studio headphones are streamlined with fast curves, smooth surfaces, and no visible screws. They're 13 percent lighter and have a stronger, more comfortable headband along with softer ear cups and an ergonomic bellow to create a flexible, custom fit for every head shape.

Case sold separately.

Can be acceptable for DJ stuff... but never use it in a studio

These are often mistaken as studio-quality headphones but, face the reality: They are not. the sound is wide and loud, ok but they have something like a band-cut filter on it, you can hear pratically only bass and highs, medium frequencies are confuse and dusty. This can be useful (for someone) on genres like Electronic, House and other DJ stuff, but if you want to listen other things on it, i.e.: Jazz, Rock, or even Classical music that are the wrong headphones

Economical

I paid $2 for them and honestly, they're worth the price. An interesting thing is that when the cable breaks, you just replace it and that's it, as this is what usually happens with headphones of this value.

Name says it all

My go to for audio. Playing back samples, surfing YouTube's audio achieves, playback for SoundCloud uploads, tracking vocals. Great for close proximity but wish it was offered with a longer cable.

Beats Studio

Beat studio will do for now. They are my second pick to Beats Pro. Beats Pro are my FAVORITE. I like the heavy comfort feel it has over my ears and the sound deadening. This studio pair is comfy and comes in 2nd place in my opinion.
