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 am not a huge reviewer but in this case I want to make sure all people are informed about what I would call a huge security flaw with RING. I copied this from the review I left on TrustPilot... that's how frustrated with RING and the lack of security it really provides.

I really had high hopes with the RING. It is not really good on live camera streaming (uses static IP addresses for best connectivity) and it is really slow to connect even when the camera is 10 feet away. As for the security alarm system I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. There is one situation that the RING does not cover... if you are at HOME and someone breaks your glass door or window, they can enter your home and have their way with your family. The RING does not support a GLASS BREAK sensor while in the HOME mode. I asked RING if there was a work a round and they kept side stepping the simple question I kept asking, which was the scenario I listed above. Below is a small extract of my chat session with RING, just in case you may not think this is a legitimate review. I am upset since you would think that when you subscribe to a security system you get a full security system... how sad for me!---------transcript extract -------------------------------------------------

So just to be clear, the RING does not safe guard that situation where an intruder can break glass while my family is a sleep and walk straight into my home and do what ever they want. Just answer yes or no.
Just remember HOME intrusion is real! That is why we buy security systems to act as a deterrent.

RING
At the moment we do not have glass breaking sensors as they are still in development. Glass breaking sensors are still being developed. Ring will make announcements as new capabilities are added to the Ring Alarm.

You did not answer the question: YES or NO. No sales pitch please. I now know you don't have a fully integrated break glass sensor. Please don't repeat that sales response.
How did RING expect to safe guard the scenario where an intruder breaks my glass door while I am at home a sleep? Just answer "The RING does not handle this situation"!
Keep it simple Donaldo.

RING
Please bear with me as I am having my team look into your question. One moment please

ME
Thanks
This is an extremely important situation and If the RING does not handle this I want others to know they don't since this is a BIG problem. People leave their young teens at home while stepping out to do business... this is a situation I cannot afford to be a option.

RING
Thank you for your patience as I am still reaching out to my team, should only be another moment

ME
Okay

RING
Thank you for waiting. I checked with my team for alternative solutions for a glass breaking sensor when the system is in Home mode.
Regarding your question, at the moment we do not have coverage for glass breaking when the system is in away mode as alexa guard can only monitor glass breaking on Away mode at the moment.

ME
So the RING does NOT protect my family when we are at home and an intruder breaks a glass door and steps in?
You keep avoiding answering the question
