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.
