The Beats Studio Buds + have dropped to an incredible price of $119.99, down from the regular $169.95, marking their lowest recorded price according to price tracking sources. Presently, all Beats audio products are enjoying significant discounts akin to those seen during Black Friday and Prime Day.

These stylish earbuds are offered in various colors including black/gold, cosmic silver, and transparent. Each purchase comes with four sets of silicone ear tips in assorted sizes (XS, S, M, L) for a customized fit. Connectivity is effortless with Bluetooth 5.3, granting Apple users quick pairing across iCloud-connected devices and Handoff functionality for swift audio transitions. Android users benefit from Google Fast Pair, allowing instant synchronization with connected Google accounts.

Each earbud is equipped with three microphones, enhancing voice clarity while minimizing external noise due to Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and allowing ambient sound through Transparency mode. With custom two-layer dynamic drivers, these earbuds produce a robust, distortion-free sound experience even at peak volume. While the lack of adjustable EQ means users will depend on preset options through iOS (for Apple devices) or the inherent tuning of the earbuds, the ANC quality competently reduces low-frequency sounds, like that of an airplane, and lessens mid-range background noise. Transparency mode provides a natural auditory experience. The on-ear button controls are user-friendly, and according to a PCMag review, they are effective without being overly sensitive, limiting accidental activations.

Integration with iOS is seamless for Apple users, including access to ‘Find My’ for locating misplaced earbuds, although it tracks only the last connection location of the case itself. If the earbuds are removed while the case remains behind, it will not update the buds’ location. Android users receive a commendable experience while missing out on hands-free Siri and certain system-level controls. The earbuds have an IPX4 rating, suitable for handling sweat and minor splashes; however, they’re not designed for heavy water exposure. For those needing superior water resistance, the JBL Reflect Aero ($99.95, previously $149.95) boasts a stronger IP68 rating and could be a more suitable alternative.
