Sometimes finding the perfect headphones feels almost impossible. Do you want the ones with all the gadgets and gizmos? Do you want the ones you saw that influencer wear once? Do you need the ones with the cool custom colour options? Or should you stick with the basics and focus on the sound? Well, we’re happy to tell you that you can have it all in one place. So close all the tabs, pause all the YouTube tech reviews and stop scrolling on that influencers page. Everyone’s favourite music brand, Beats, has officially launched Beats Studio Pro and they do not disappoint.
Let’s dive into why these are causing such a ruckus across the music tech industry- it all comes down to five important factors: design, sound, compatibility, connection and sustainability.
When it comes to design Beats will never disappoint. With the new major upgrades including seamless leather, UltraPlush over-ear cushions, ultimate flexibility with premium metal sliders for full adjustment preferences, it’s clear these will be headphones for the long run not just the sprint.
Beats have made incredible leaps forward in sound with the new Studio Pro. Beats promise optimal clarity with near-zero distortion, even whilst listening to your favourite track at max volume. If you need to zone out the bustle around you, Beats Studio Pro have industry leading noise cancellation at the touch of a button. Two dynamic listening modes let you choose whether to keep the world out, or let it in. Fully adaptive Active Noise Canceling (ANC) continuously monitors the noise around you in real- time. You can easily switch to Transparency mode to let the sounds of your environment mix seamlessly with your music when you want to stay present and aware. Another incredible addition is the upgraded voice-targeting microphones to ensure high-quality call performance at all times- so no more shouting across the room for everybody to hear.
Beats Studio Pro is changing the game when it comes to Apple and Android compatibility. Some of the new updates users from both sides can expect are:
- One-touch pairing – easy, one-touch setup instantly pairs with every device in your iCloud account
- “Hey Siri” – simply say “Hey Siri” to activate your voice assistant
- Find My – locate your lost headphones on a map based on the last known connected location
- Over-the-air updates – receive software updates and new features automatically
- Google Fast Pair – connect quickly with a single tap, and automatically pair to all Android or Chrome devices registered to your Gmail account
- Audio Switch – seamlessly transition audio between your Android, Chromebook, and other compatible devices
- Find My Device – easily locate your lost headphones with Google Find My Device
- Beats app for Android – unlock access to product customisation, software updates, and new features to get the most out of your headphones
There’s a lot to love about the latest and greatest from Beats, but one thing that we truly obsess over is the multiple connectivity options. Beats Studio Pro offers multiple ways to connect with your devices: Class 1 Bluetooth for exceptional wireless connectivity, USB-C audio for lossless audio and simultaneous charging, and 3.5mm analog input for wired audio sources.
As if that wasn’t enough, while using USB-C audio you can select between three distinct sound profiles. The Beats Signature profile delivers the most tonally balanced tuning for all genres of music, the Entertainment profile offers a heightened experience for movies and games, and the Conversation profile is ideal for phone calls or podcasts.
If you become as obsessed with the Beats Studio Pro as we have then battery life is definitely needed. With up to 40 hours of battery life, Beats Studio Pro headphones keep you immersed in your music longer. With ANC or Transparency Mode enabled, enjoy up to 24 hours of listening time. When you’re low on power, Fast Fuel gives you up to 4 hours of playtime from a quick, 10-minute charge – we all know days where this feature could be a life saver!
