Beats by Dre – Studio Pro
Earlier this year the all-new and improved Beats Studio Pro were released. Beats have made incredible leaps forward in sound and promise optimal clarity with near-zero distortion, even whilst listening to your favourite track at max volume. Aside from its sleek and clean design, the best feature has to be the industry leading noise cancellation available with just a touch of a button.

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.
