18 sets of Beats headphones are now being evaluated by us. They are a well-known company that produces fashionable and cozy headphones. Since Apple bought the company in 2014, some models now have features designed specifically for Apple ecosystem consumers. Also, some modern models sound more balanced, whereas older ones were infamous for having a too bass-heavy sound characteristic.
The Beats Solo Pro Wireless are the top Beats headphones we’ve tested. These on-ear Bluetooth headphones are well constructed, with a premium appearance, and a metal alloy headband. They also fit fairly comfortably. They may easily go through several 9 to 5 workdays or a lengthy travel without recharging because they have a long continuous battery life of about 24 hours. They offer a good ANC feature that is particularly helpful at reducing office noise, such as background talk and buzzing air conditioners. Their strong lead vocals and well-balanced, slightly ecstatic sound profile provide a little extra thump and rumble to mixes.
Unfortunately, their software doesn’t include options for EQ or preset sound tweaking. Its headband may not stretch enough to accommodate larger heads, and they clamp onto your ears pretty tightly, thus they don’t have the most pleasant fit. The Beats Studio3 Wireless might be better for you if you’re concerned about the on-ear fit. Most individuals find these over-ears to be considerably more comfortable because they have deep, roomy earcups. Its sound profile is less well-balanced and their noise isolation capabilities is less effective.

BEST BEATS EARBUDS
The Beats Fit Pro True Wireless are the top Beats earphones we’ve tried. These earphones are the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless’ sportier sister, but even if you’re not shopping for sports headphones, you might still find a few more features to your liking. They have Apple’s simulated surround sound feature Spatial Audio and an H1 chip, so you can simply pair them with iPhones and MacBooks (although it only works with iOS devices). They include a fantastic ANC feature that can assist in reducing many noises, including the low rumble of bus and airplane engines.
These have a little v-shaped sound profile right out of the box, giving audio a bit more rumble and punch. Lead instruments and vocals sometimes sound a little harsh, but they are there and lively. They regrettably lack sound tweaking options, but overall their sound is versatile enough for a wide range of genres. Although they fit rather well, the large form of the buds may affect persons with smaller ears.
BEST BEATS SPORTS HEADPHONES
The Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless are the greatest Beats choice we’ve tried for earbuds to wear during workouts. The Beats Fit Pro True Wireless has stability fins, but these headphones have bendable hooks that wrap around your ears for more stability when you’re moving around. Most people find this design to be more comfortable, and it also makes sure that your earbuds stay in your ears during strenuous exercise. They also contain an H1 chip for easy pairing with Apple devices, are water resistant to IPX4 standards, and have a battery life of around 11 hours.
They have a more neutral sound profile when compared to some of the previous Beats headphones, which you may prefer if you don’t enjoy bass-heavy music or listen to a lot of podcasts or audiobooks while you work out. Sadly, they lack the ability to customize the sound, and the companion interface is rather basic. These aren’t the best if you want to avoid distracting noise at the gym because they won’t insulate you from much ambient sound. If you’re jogging outside, though, you may not mind their poor noise isolation because it makes it easier for you to keep an eye on your surroundings.
BEST BUDGET BEATS HEADPHONES
The Beats Flex Wireless are the greatest option from Beats if you’re looking for a pair of inexpensive headphones. These small, lightweight earbuds have a flexible neck cord and come in a few vivid colors. These are cozy, well-made, and will stay in your ears as you exercise. You may use them continuously for roughly 11 hours to get you through your regular commute and workplace without needing to recharge. Their W1 chip, which makes it easier to pair them with iOS devices like iPhones, is appreciated by Apple users.
They offer a bass-rich listening experience with added rumble and punch that works well for genres like EDM and hip-hop, like many of this manufacturer’s products. These come with an accompanying app, unlike some inexpensive headphones. You can only toggle the auto-pause and auto-call answering features on and off, though. It lacks presets or an EQ for sound modification. They are unsuitable for making calls from a crowded street or bus since its mic can’t distinguish your speech from strong background noises while having an acceptable recording quality. Having said that, they function well for daily music and podcast listening if you want simple headphones.
Conclusion
Beats has significantly improved their lineup. Although they continue to be a cutting-edge company that favors striking color combinations and contemporary silhouettes, their most recent models sound far more well-balanced than those they’ve previously released. Particularly their noise canceling headphones, which don’t offer the same amount of noise isolation as models from rival firms, their products are still a bit pricy for what they have to offer.
