The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best earbuds Beats has ever made. They’re comfortable to wear and they sound great, plus they support active noise cancellation and Apple’s 3D Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos.

Apple's AirPods Pro are some of the best noise-cancelling true wireless earphones on the market, but at $249, they're among the most expensive. Apple owns Beats, and the Beats Studio Buds are loaded with AirPods Pro-like features for just $149.99, including active noise cancellation (ANC), Spatial Audio for Apple Music’s new Dolby Atmos-mixed tracks, and one-touch pairing for both iOS Android devices. From an audio standpoint, the Studio Buds deliver a powerful, bass-forward experience, and manage to keep the highs crisp. Noise cancellation is decent, but you definitely get what you pay for.

The Beats Studio Buds are a fantastic pair of true wireless buds, offering a lot to love at a reasonable price. With a refined sound signature, they deliver superb performance for the money, with decent noise-cancellation, a comfortable design and a more inclusive approach for Android users. Their feature set isn’t as extensive as some buds out there, while the Transparency mode and phone call quality leaves a little to be desired. Battery life could be a touch better, too. But these are minor grumbles in an otherwise convincing little package. Beats has found its stride.
