WIRED Excellent calling and noise canceling. Good sound quality. Natural-sounding transparency mode. USB-C plug-in for high-resolution audio. TIRED No auto-pause. No adjustable EQ. Multi-device pairing is limited to Google gear. Controls feel clunky.
While I wasn’t able to take them in the air, I tested the Studio Pro while visiting a big family gathering, including numerous adults, five dogs, and three young children . The headphones handled the chaos with ease, providing sweet tranquility as I tapped away from a makeshift office. Like all good noise cancelers, they instantly knocked out ambient sounds like fans, the din of the outdoors, and even my own keystrokes, while quieting dog barks and children’s screams all around.
When it comes to audio performance, the Studio Pro continue the brand’s improvements of late, offering more balance while still providing the crisp upper register and hefty bass upon which Beats made its name. It’s a tenuous balance there; I wished I could back down the bass a few taps in heftier songs, while bassheads may wish for more thump. A bit of EQ could go a long way in expanding the Beats tent.
You can take things up a notch with the new USB-C mode, which lets you plug in for up to 24-bit/48-kHz resolution from services like Apple Music and Tidal. Even with Spotify, the headphones open up with more presence when plugged in, though I wish Beats provided a longer cable, and/or a USB-C to Lightning cable for iPhone.
