Internet access is required. Cellular data charges may apply. The Beats Studio Buds Plus earbuds are an upgrade to the Beats Studio Buds. So why aren't they higher in our list? Well, despite the fact the Studio Buds Plus are a better pair of true wireless earbuds, they're more expensive and, therefore, not as good value for most people.

Although Apple now has a number of headphones out under its own brand name – including the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max– there are still plenty of brilliant, new Beats headphones to choose from.

Usually when we have a list of the best headphones, we select the cream of the crop and expect them to hit specific criteria to be included. They have slightly better battery life and a smaller carrying case than the older Powerbeats Pro and deliver better results than the similar-looking Beats Studio Buds, which makes them well worth an upgrade.
