Studio Buds – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds – IPX4 rating, Sweat Resistant Earphones, Compatible with Apple & Android, Class 1 Bluetooth, Built-in Microphone – Black

Really good earphones for the price, i bought it for £80 9 months ago and currently after over 9 months later i can say that the earphones quality is spectacular. Coming from a workforce that has good audio equipment, this beats although bassy has enough highs that it’s comfortable for long periods of time. It charges quite fast and on a 10 mins charge it can last me about 2 hours of listening time. Its really comfy though it does fall out of my ears a bit at times. Its connects to my windows pc, macbook and android phone without any problems. I quite like the touch click feature on the earbuds itself, pausing and resuming my audio. Overall its good but i wouldn’t pay full price

The Beats Studio Buds definitely keep to the Beats premium formula with their design and materials quality; if your after the status symbol that comes with the Beats branding, the Studio Buds definitely keeps with tradition. The Studio Beats come with the features all true-wireless earbuds should come with: Active Noise Cancelling Ambient Pass Through Play/Pause/Skip/Previous Answer/End/Reject Calls Voice Assistant in iOS with voice command, Android requires button press Missing Volume control; can only be done via connected device Audio Quality is what you would expect from the Beats branding, so no complaints there. Call quality is the same. But I have to admit that I was expecting a bit more. This is the second high end brand I have tried lately expecting to be taken to another level, but unfortunately I feel a little let down. Mostly because the volume level just seems a little too soft; at maximum volume I’m left wanting a little more. Granted it is loud enough to hear, but not quite loud enough to feel immersed. I realize these are not going to bring the same feeling as a set of over-the-ear headphones will, but I have tested others that get louder. Fitment is great, I don’t get any ear fatigue wearing the buds, but over time they do lose their grip from ear sweat. I don’t think you would want these for any type of active use other than just walking or minimal around the house activity. Any kind of up and down movement I feel like I was constantly having to readjust. The default ear tips out-of-the-box were the best fitment for me, so switching the tips would not have made this experience any better. This is hardly an issue that only rests with Studio Buds, rather one that I have found very common for me in trying many different brands. Some have included foam tips in place of the common silicone type to help aid in fitment. I would assume the tips are of a universal nature so it may be possible to purchase foam tips in place of the silicone to allow for more active use. Beats Software is pretty straightforward to use and the button presses are easy to remember. They can be reprogrammed as well. The Studio Buds are designed with a true button, so it requires pinching the buds to be able to push the button without jamming the buds in the ear canal. I don’t have any issues recommending, just understand some of the limitations I have mentioned and align your expectations.

I bought these as a replacement for lost AirPods and I have so many regrets! They are 100% not worth the money at all. They are EXTREMELY uncomfortable to wear for longer than 10 minutes, and constantly fall out after seconds of wear. I use the smallest size that fits in the ear and they still fall out straight away. They give me earache after wearing for 10 minutes and stick out so much when you’re wearing them. The design is just horrible. I’m so upset I wasted my money on these. The touch controls are clanky and poor at best. The only positive about these buds are the sound quality unfortunately. I have been wearing these since May 2025 and I have tried so hard to make them work but they are just the worst earbuds that I have ever had. Please don’t waste your money on these.

I’ve been using various earbuds including AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, Sony, Edifier NeoBuds 2, and now recently got my hands on the Beats Studio Buds. Here’s my take after testing them out for a full day. ⸻ 🔧 Build Quality & Fit – 4★ • Made of plastic, but the design looks sleek and modern. • Very small and lightweight – fits really well in the ear. • Comfortable for long listening sessions. ⸻ 🎶 Sound Quality – 4★ (General), 3★ (Heavy Bass Lovers) • Sound is decent and balanced, not too sharp or too flat. • If you love deep bass, heavy beats, EDM, Dubstep, or party music like I do – this may not satisfy you. Bass is present but not aggressive. • For casual listeners or those who enjoy balanced sound with mild bass – this is a solid choice. ⸻ 🔇 ANC & Transparency – Mixed Bag • Outdoor Performance: 3★ • ANC blocks around 40–50% of ambient noise in traffic or noisy streets. • Transparency mode feels almost the same as ANC at times – not clearly distinguished. • Indoor Performance: 5★ • In quiet environments, ANC works well – can block around 80% of ambient noise. • Transparency mode is more noticeable indoors and works decently. ⸻ 🔋 Battery Life – 4★ • Solid battery backup for the price. No major complaints here. • Quick to charge and lasts long enough for daily usage. ⸻ ⚠️ Major Con – Controls • No on-bud volume control! You must adjust the volume from your phone. • That’s a big downside in terms of convenience, especially compared to competitors. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: 4★ (Based on Price Range) If you’re a casual listener, or someone who enjoys moderate bass and clean sound, this is a great value-for-money option. For around £120 or less, it delivers solid quality across the board.

My old airpods packed in a few weeks ago and I've been dreading buying new ones as it's the festive period and I'm skint haha. But I refuse to walk my dog in silence one more time. They were also a really old model so I was eyeing up the eye wateringly expensive apple pro ones. Then I saw these on sale and the reviews are good (for the most part) so I thought 'why not for £100?!' These have just arrived and I'm pretty blown away tbh. The sounds is crisp and the bass is heavy. They fit snuggly in the ear and come with 2 different sizes incase they don't. I'm assuming it's a small, medium, large situation. The case is quite a bit larger than my old airpods but still more than ample to fit in any pocket. I wasn't sure what 'active noise cancelling' was to be honest. But I have an Arctis Wireless pro headset for my PC and it is essentially 'sidetone'. There are 3 options: Noise Cancelling - really does block out all noise apart from your music/podcast etc. Transparency - lets all noise in whilst still hearing the music. Off - Self explanatory (somewhere in the middle). These can be easily switched by holding the button on the ear bud. This is a game changing feature for me as they all have their uses. There is also a multitude of tap gestures built in (answer/reject calls, next/previous track etc) They look sooooo much prettier (I went for black). But regardless of your colour choice, the small size without the electric toothbrush head look is so much cleaner and discreet. They just have a really nice aesthetic - even the case. I can't comment on battery longevity as they only arrived today. But assuming they live up to expectations, this is a really exceptional product for a very fair price. The included cable charges them in no time atall. I wish there was a way of incorporating the cable into the case so you can take it with you as I BELIEVE (I could be wrong) that it offers fast charging. However, the fact that my only critique is "I have nowhere to store the cable" says a lot really. I would 100% recommend these to anyone. If my experience changes within a reasonable time frame, I'll update accordingly. Hope this helps :)

These earbuds sound great and the noise cancellation really works. They’re comfy, stay in place, and handle sweat and light rain, which is perfect for workouts or just everyday use. My first order never arrived, but the replacement came quickly and works perfectly. Definitely happy with them now.

I have been using the Beats Studio Buds for over a month now, and I can say that it’s a pretty solid experience but there are some very frustrating issues that impact the experience. They are considered to be a cheaper alternative to AirPods and they are a good bang for your buck, generally speaking. Going for these rather than the AirPods does saves you about £140 for very solid quality however, you should be aware of the what you will compromise for that nice price tag. Let’s start with the good things: 1. Sound quality. It’s very good for £110. For most users, I’d say it’s more than enough. Perhaps audiophiles will not be satisfied but nonetheless, this is not one of its major issues. 2. Noise cancellation. It’s not bad at all. Not as good as the AirPods’ but you will not hear anything with it turned on as long as music is playing as well, so solid. This is where these earbuds suffer: 3. Design. The earbuds will probably struggle to stay in your ear. You might be able to get them in good, but if you are a bit sweaty or you have some earwax, they will start to slip and you’ll have to push them in. Additionally, this creates another major issue. The play/pause button placement on the two earbuds are a very bad design. Every time the earbud slips out, you’ll have to push it back in, and you’re most likely going to press the button and pause the music. You might be able to avoid this by pinching the earbuds and pushing them in that way, but you still might press it down because the button overlaps the edges. This has become incredibly frustrating as time has gone on, and it has made me consider getting new headphones just because of this. 4. Battery life. It’s actually pretty good. I don’t think it’s close to what is advertised but it has been a major issue for me personally. However, the issue with the battery is that, in order to connect your earbuds, it is reliant on the case having some charge. If your case is dead but the earbuds are not, you cannot connect them through Bluetooth. It is honestly ridiculous that you can’t use the earbuds in that case because you might have another few hours of charge from the earbuds themselves but you cant use them! It’s crazy because my first generation AirPods connected fine when the case was dead, as long as the AirPods themselves had charge. I don’t understand why it needs the case to connect, cant the earbuds themselves have Bluetooth chips? I guess they don’t, so it’s a bad design. It’s not something that would deter me personally from the using the device entirely as it takes a few days before the case runs out of charge, but if you don’t notice the case reaching 0% you will no longer be able to listen to your music. Overall, the Beats Studio Buds are not a bad purchase. If you aren’t looking to spend £250 on AirPods Pros right now, this is a very good option for a cheaper alternative, but I would not recommend this as anything other than temporary or as secondary headphones as there are some pretty major drawbacks that unfortunately ruin what is otherwise a really good experience when it comes to actually listening to the music.

I use them on the train to work, when out walking and in the gym. They're fine for everyday use, the fit is very comfortable and they never feel like they are going to 'pop' out of your ears. The sound quality is pretty good, no EQ which is a shame though as everyone has different sound preferences and I would like a bit more bass. No problem with phone calls as clear enough. Noise cancelling good for the price. Battery life good and charges quickly, oh and I like the bright red colour and the little noises they make when you touch them!
