“Game changer by beats”

David F.
4/4/22

I just got my beats studio 3 headphones and they sound amazing! The noise cancellation works to perfection, when I'm on the train or walking around the city I can't hear nothing but the music. The sound is the best I've ever heard from any headphones I've had in the past. The bass is tight yet deep and the highs are clear and crisp. The battery life is long, I usually charge it only once a week. If you're and audiophile like me, you will be so glad to be an owner of these tremendous beats headphones.

“Bad Interference with iPhone”

b d.
12/14/22

Apple told me it was likely my device causing the issue, then I told them they also made the device and they clammed up. I get random interference sounds which are loud and bad. Spent hours with support, sent product back in (Beats Fit Pro) and they returned it saying it's fine. It's not fine. I'm done with Apple, this is nonsense. $200 for a pair of earbuds that doesn't work and hurts my ears with loud sounds is not cool. Their BS support is basically gaslighting, telling me it's my fault.

Don't waste your money. The screws always fall out and you can't keep them on your ears. Dre sold it to Apple…. Hmmmmmmm

On to my fourth pair in two years. Good news is they were all replaced on warranty. The bad news is they all failed in exactly the same way. I use them at the gym and when bike riding, so I sweat a bit (maybe that affects them). The controls crap out (and will not reset) and then the cover falls off. If they would fix this flaw then I'd be happy with them but until then I suggest you find something else.

I get it. People don't review when they're satisfied with the product. They only do it when they're unsatisfied. I'm with you and I haven't reviewed a product in years. DO NOT BUY BEATS. I'm embarrassed that I spent money on these. The battery life is absolute GARBAGE. I'm lucky if I get two hours out of them before I have to recharge. I tried to return them but they refused to refund. On top of that the audio quality is not worth your penny. Avoid these at any cost and put your money into a different brand that actually follows through on what's advertised.

Tip for consumers:
My old Heyday earbuds had a longer battery life, more durability, and an equal audio qualify for half the price. Beats are a scam.

I've had these headphones 5-6 years now and I can't even say anything positive about them. They never charge the audio won't come through. This is the worst product I can ever own.

I felt, yet again, compelled to write this review about the Beats Studio 3. I have to say that I am pretty disappointed about the all round quality with these Beats Studio 3. From the noise cancellation to the construction, these Beats do just do not hit the quality one would expect with the price. The noise cancellation is mediocre at best. You still get a lot of outside sound that will filter into your music experience. When using the headset to make phone calls, background sound really interferes with the receivers sound quality to the point the person may ask you to remove the headset so they can understand you. As for the construction... they are fragile. The inner plastic panels are extremely flimsy and can break relatively easy. If you are in the market for a headset and are willing to pay $300 plus for them, I would not recommend these. Look elsewhere for a head set. There are plenty of reviews that will guide you on a much better path. I would recommend a different brand and model but I would not want to give the impression that this was not a valid review. I absolutely felt compelled to write this because I am tired of manufactures selling crap, while knowing it is crap. I really am not sure how anyone could review this product and give it a value of more than 3 stars... it really is not worth the price.

I purchased the beats 3 years ago and I have gone through 7 pairs of headphones in that time. Absolutely the worst headphones I have ever purchased in my life in the only reason I had 7 was because I was getting them repaired and the sent back to my house for free. I got tired of the poor Quality and purchased a pair of headphones that cost $20 and haven't had one Issue.

While the quality of the headphones is ok, you're mostly paying for the brand. You can definitely find better quality for same price.

Beats headphones are the best, I name them beast headphones :) cuz it has good sound quality, a bit high price but worth paying for great bass sound, it also has aptX and AAC support, great Qi wireless connectivity charging case, USB-C input also has good battery life. There are also some negative things about those headphones which I want to mention: Earbuds are bulky and stick out of your ear. You can choose between volume controls or voice assistants, but there is no need for a multipoint connection.

I purchased my headphones May 2020. I enjoyed the headphones, I mean I really enjoyed the headphones! My music sound AWESOME! However, in early November 2020, I was folding my headphones to put them back in the case and they broke. I always put my headphones in the case, I even kept the receipt from when they were purchased in May 2020. I did research online to see if there was warranty for the headphones because I only had them for 6 months. There was a warranty and I called the support desk and I was informed I could send my headphones to be repaired. I got an email stating they have been trying to contact me about my headphones (no phone calls or email) until 11 hours ago from today and then another one from 48 minutes ago stating my headphones could not be repaired due to "accidental or misuse" I really wish I had the headphones at this point so that I can show pictures. There are broken when you fold the headphones inside to put them in the case. The representative Jason stated they could fix the headphone I would just have to come out of pocket for it. I said "well, how much is it?" Jason said, "$199." That's how much I paid for the headphones! I will never buy beats, or any other apple product EVER AGAIN! They suck and don't care about the consumer. There were no dents, scratches, or anything that would support the claim of misuse/accidental. I wish I had them now so I could add pictures.

I got some beats for my birthday and I immediately heard the difference. The music sounds so good- especially house music. A totally different experience!

The materials felt absurdly cheap for the price. The logo and accents on the headphones were faded and uneven in certain places. Does not look nearly as nice as the pictures on the website. Overall, it looks like it was made in a third world sweatshop. Don't even get me started on the sound quality, or rather, lack thereof! Absolutely terrible! Mostly treble, very little bass, mids are totally lost. The bluetooth function is very spotty, I ended up trying out different aux cables. I tried my highest quality aux cable and the sound still sucked. These headphones are not designed for music lovers. I am WAY happier with OneOdio Over Ear headphones. They're only $30 dollars (a fraction of the cost of Beats by Dre) and they are way better quality for the price. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE CHEAP PIECE OF CRAP HEADPHONES

These headphones are total garbage. They have bad sound quality and the price is a rip-off. I can literally go to Dollar General and get better sound quality headphones for at least $100 less. BOOOOOO.

The Beats headphones are quite good however they got some cons. The reliability seems not very good to me, atleast none of their headphones I used lasted long enough. And the second point is their pricing - the headphones cost a lot while there are some other ones of a good quality on the market.

They could make the earphones better taking into account the price the company sets for its products. Its all branding, same as other several trademarks..

Beats is overrated. There's better competition, but Beats relies almost entirely on marketing and promotion.

Love ’em or hate ’em, if it weren’t for the Beats brand, many of the company's headphone rivals wouldn’t exist.

You cant deny that beats by dre look sharp. The sound is not so great, any Sennheizer for such price would kill them in terms of quality.

When I wear my Beats head phones, I am like the king of the street, the godfather of the mafia, the head of the drug cartel, the homie of the $#*!s!
