I wanted to write a review that was as non biased as possible. I own a pair of AirPods Pro’s. I bought these beats for my job, where it can be it very loud. I didn’t want to run the risk of losing my AirPods. I saw the beats were on sale.
I like them a lot, for it to be a cheaper alternative for AirPod pros. The noise cancellation isn’t as good as the AirPod pros. In my opinion it’s not that much of a difference between the two. It’s noticeable difference but not an inconvenience either.
With either ANC or Transparency mood is on. The beats sacrifice some of the audio performance for either one. Sounds the same in either mood. When you turn noise control off, the bass, treble, and etc are amplified. For the AirPod pros it’s the complete opposite from the beats in terms of noise control. The bass is amplified in ANC or transparency mood; and sacrifices the audio performance with noise control off. Make sure to figure out what ear tips fit best in your ear to get the best quality.
To me they’re worth 89-110 dollars, I wouldn’t pay anything over it. Especially not at 150, but it’s a great quality for that price range I set if you can find it on sale. Whereas I’d pay full price for the Pros, and did.
All in all they’re a good quality pair of ear buds to get the job done. They’re a good cheaper alternative to AirPod pros. Would still serve as a great gift or to satisfy the average everydays needs.

Sweet and short: These are great if your intent is to listen to music and block out the world. Get AirPod Pro’s if you want to make phone calls or hear the things around you.
I had the AirPods pros before these and they were great. I’d argue that these sound just as good. I think I prefer the controls on these because you don’t have to actually grab them, just a tap will do. Haven’t used them for a phone call yet, but have been warned they dont sound as good on the other end as the AirPods do. The transparency mode is pretty terrible compared to the AirPods. It doesn’t really let any more noise through than if they were just off altogether. Happy its USB-C, sad that it has no wireless charging, but it has better battery life than the AirPods.
Edit: Another feature I’m really going to miss from the Pro’s is the ability to take one out and have the music pause, and resume when its put back. These will continue to play, and play through both, unless the unused one is in the case. Not a big deal, but a feature I will miss.

These headphones are nice and noise canceling but I feel like the volume is much lower than my other beats ear buds. I even went to my control settings on my android to make sure my media volume was all the way up. Still great but just a heads up.

I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results:
Beats Fit Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.
Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.
Beats Studio Buds – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.
Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.
Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.
Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.
Bose QuietComfort – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Pros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.
Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.
My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

The sound quality of these ear buds is excellent, as with other Beats products the bass response is superb, which is lacking in the AirPods, IMO. Understandably, it’s difficult to pack a lot of bass amplification into a tiny set of wireless ear buds, but Beats managed to do so. They also work with my iPhone 12 Pro Max as seamlessly as the AirPods.
The fit is nice and they stay in my ears better than AirPods; however, I do NOT like the physical buttons being directly on the outside of the buds, opposite your ear canals. I often have to adjust my ear buds and push them back in my eyes to optimize sound because they tend to move around, and this pauses the sound every time – SUPER annoying and dated design flaw. Also, the noise cancellation is pretty lame – not nearly as good as the AirPod Pros. I can hardly tell the difference with it on/off. Lastly, I’m not a fan of the lack of magnetic charging – it is USB-C only. As much as I would love for everything to switch to USB-C, Apple seemingly refuses to let go of their Lightning port, so I still have mostly Lightning cables and thus it would be nice to have magnetic charging instead of just USB-C.
All in all, this a great product at a good price, but if noise cancellation is important to you, you might want to spend the extra $ on the AirPod Pros.

These Beats Earbuds are the worst, and I repeat the WORST product of DrDre Beats I ever bought. I love my earbuds very much but CMON I can’t even listen to music properly, not to mention even use the noise cancellation and transparency correct, because they don’t work OUTSIDE at all. Don’t bother to buy this for Android users, it will probably work better in Apple because of the Volume Button which THEY DONT EVEN HAVE! on earbuds really? Have they lost their minds selling this product. I repeat to all customers who look at this product, don’t bother buying them. Buy better earbuds with cheaper price then this expensive fraud garbage. It’s a waste of money and a huge rip off when paying for quality sound control on earbuds or when listening to music, so I repeat DONT BUY THEM!!!

Pros:
– Very comfortable fit and design (stays put during workouts/running and has no pressure build up)
– Decent ANC, maybe a notch below Airpods Pro but still a difference maker
– IPX4 water resistance rating (tested through sweat and a little rain and no issues for me)
– 8 hrs battery with ANC on, and 5 hrs with ANC off + 2 charges in case
– Dynamic, boomy and bass heavy sound that is perfect for intense gym workouts or rap/EDM/hip hop
– Volume gets very loud (they are maybe 1-2 ticks louder than Airpods Pro/Galaxy Buds Pro)
Cons:
– Case feels a little hollow with fingerprint oils showing easily
– No wireless charging
– Soundstage could be a little wider, vocals can be a bit overshadowed by the heavy bass
– Transparency mode feels a little too robotic

Définitivement je m’attendais à mieux et je suis déçue. Voici pourquoi:
Pros : Ergonomiquement ça fit bien. Confortable. Beau design. Connecte très vite à mon iPhone. Suppression de bruit performant.
Cons : Coté son ça va mais ça pourrait être mieux.
J’ai trové le son assez flat comparé à la qualité de son des mes Sennheiser CX 400BT ou les PowerBeats Pro.
J’aurais aimé avoir la possibilité d’avoir un égaliseur de son car il manque beaucoup de “bass” à mon gout.
J’ai retourné le produit parce qu’en plus de ça je devais me procurer appart un adapteur pour pouvoir charger le boitier étant donné que le câble vient avec les deux cotés USB-c. NON MERCI!
Coté téléphone, on m’entend relativement bien mais encore une fois, ce n’est pas le meilleur son comparé avec la performance qui offre les Sennheiser CX 400BT.
En général je trouve que c’est un beau produit mais ça laisse un peu à désirer coté qualité de son.

Even in low volume can’t hear kiddos or wife right next to me. Very clear. Bass for little buds pretty good as well
