Beats Studio Buds + (2023) – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Enhanced Apple & Android Compatibility, Built-in Microphone, Sweat-Resistant Bluetooth Headphones, Spatial Audio – Transparent

Product Information

As I say every time I review a new Beats product that comes in fun, new colors: I long for the day when Apple releases AirPods in a color other than white. At this point, I’m pretty sure this will never happen – which means Beats remains the best option for Apple users looking for earbuds in any color that’s not white. From left to right: AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 3, AirPods 2, Beats Studio Buds+, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Fit Pro, Powerbeats Pro

For iOS users, the hands-free Siri Voice assistant is supported, along with one-touch Bluetooth pairing (and Google Fast Pair for Android). Find My (iOS) and Find My Device (Android) lets you locate a misplaced bud or buds using your phone, and there’s spatial audio for services like Apple Music that support that format.

As for vocal clarity with podcasts, the crisp, treble forward sound the Buds Plus put out was undeniably clear, though it was accompanied by a leanness in the mid-range that resulted in sibilants being overemphasized. At relatively high volume levels, I found the presentation to be fatiguing, and strongly preferred to maintain a strict volume cap. I'm A Celebrity star Fred Sirieix's fiancée Fruitcake catches her flight to Australia as she prepares to reunite with star when he leaves the jungleTransparency mode on the Buds Plus also worked well, letting in a wide range of sound so I could clearly hear what was going on around me. But even though the Beats support some of the same iOS features found in Apple headphones, there’s no way to adjust the sound level or otherwise customize transparency mode settings as you can with the AirPods Pro 2. Pop Idol's Michelle McManus says going sober made her feel 'more empowered' after using booze as form of 'escapism'

With ANC engaged and the sugary pop tune “Beautiful” by A.G. Cook playing as low as 30% volume, I felt suitably isolated from office chatter. Even with the music off, most discussions around me were reduced to unintelligible levels.That’s the extent of your customisation options and these fall a little short of what I’d expect from buds costing what the Studio Buds Plus do. It’s always frustrating to have to choose controls to miss out on, and doing so stings that much more when cheaper options such as the Redmi Buds 4 Pro offer a far broader range of controls.
