You may not get the confidence-inspiring grasp of an earhook design like the Powerbeats Pro, but I doubt these buds will shake loose accidentally.Īs with most physical buttons, the controls are precise and easy to use. When combined with a proper-fitting eartip, the Studio Buds provide a more secure fit than the AirPods Pro. The rounded shape of the earbud body makes a lot of skin contact with the outer ear.
In keeping with Beats’ reputation for headphones that are athlete-friendly, the Studio Buds have an IPX4 rating, which should be more than enough protection for a sweaty workout.Īs with most physical buttons, the controls are precise and easy to use. The Studio Buds also lack Apple’s H1 or W1 wireless chips but despite this, they’re still considered a class 1 Bluetooth device, and more importantly for Apple fans, they give you hands-free access to Siri (or push-button access to Google Assistant on Android devices). Unlike the AirPods and AirPods Pro, the Studio Buds have no optical sensors, so they can’t autopause your tunes when you remove an earbud or resume playing when you reinsert it. Once nestled in your ears, the earbuds protrude only a tiny amount - just enough to let you grab the fin or press the button. The intent is that as you remove the Studio Buds from their case and angle them into your ears, you won’t inadvertently tap a touch control. At the tip of the fin is a single physical control button. Instead of the AirPods’ iconic white stems, an unusual mohawk-like fin shape makes them a little easier to grasp with your fingers. The tiny Studio Buds use the same ear-canal-sealing eartips as the AirPods Pro. Keep this in mind if you’re among the “no USB-C” crowd. Given that there are still loads of folks out there without a USB-C port on their laptop or tablet, or a USB-C charger for that matter, I think Beats should have included a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
Inside, you’ll find the Studio Buds already in their charging case, two extra sets of silicone eartips (mediums are installed by default), some paper documentation, and a very short USB-C to USB-C charging cable. Once nestled in your ears, the earbuds protrude only a tiny amount.
