The Beats by Dre Studios are priced right between the Solos and the Pros. While all three do a good job at blocking out ambient noise, the Studios are the only one that employs active noise-cancelling technology (2 AA batteries required). You don’t have to be too concerned about battery life as the Studios will run for a long time without replacement. Both the Studios and Pros are over-the-ear headphones and tend to be more comfortable than the Solos, which are smaller and on-the-ear cans. When choosing between the Solos, Studios, and Pros, the main factor should be price, style, and comfort as the sound quality of Beats in general is not quite on par with similarly price audiophile-grade or music-production headphones (e.g. Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AKG). The Studios and Pros have a significantly better sound stage than the Solos, but are still somewhat overpriced compared to the competition. The sound quality of the Studios is very comparable to the Bose QuietComfort series. The most noticeable difference between the two is that the Studios have a stronger bass signature, while the Bose has more defined treble/highs. Predictably, the Studios sound best when listening to hip hop or other bass-heavy music – if you listen to a lot of electronic music and are only looking for noise-cancelling headphones, than I would opt for the Bose. One of the main drawbacks to the Studios (and Solos) is the overall build-quality of the headphones as the main material is plastic and it is very easy to snap the headband. The locking mechanism that is used to fold them for storage is rather poorly designed and there is a chance that this can wear down over time. The risk of both of these issues is considerably increased if they are counterfeit or grey market so be extra careful who you buy them from and try to get a receipt or documentation if possible. In conclusion, if you have your heart set on Beats then the Studios are a pretty good choice since they come in a variety of colors and offer noise-cancelling technology, which makes them ideal for travel and portable use. If you are pretty rough on your headphones and can afford to buy Pros, I would highly recommend doing so as they’re more rugged and durable. If by any means you are open to manufacturers other than Beats, I would suggest checking out some other brands, such as Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Denon, and Audio-Technica, which all offer a number of different choices depending on the overall sound that you prefer.Read full review
The headphones are boss there is no doubt about that however the switch on the side that MUST be on in order to enjoy the music is a little annoying but a small price to pay for quality sound.

Very great. Exactly what I saw in the pictures was what I got. Very pleased with the sound quality. Only problem was the shipping took a couple extra day, but other than that, I couldn’t be more happy

A good product overall. As a student, I need to be able to study anywhere so the noise cancellation on these really helped. However, it was a little uncomfortable as it pressed my ears down and got really hot after a while, even though I have small ears. I see that the bass is pretty excellent but the other ranges are nothing exceptional. Wish it was made out of actual aluminum or metal instead of cheap plastic but they still look good.
I've been coveting the beats since they came out. Love the studios! Super comfortable and most certainly sound cancelling. I am going on a 12 hour flight soon and couldn't be more jazzed to have these to take with me. Just FYI the switch on the ear needs to be on for sound to work. If it's not lit up replace the batteries. I have to say still all about the battery style over charging, most specifically for long travel where plugs can be hard to come by.
