Beats Studio Buds Black $123.99 ($119.99 Kogan First) Delivered @ Heybattery via Kogan

really like the fit. I like the sound profile more than the higher priced Apple Pros (a touch more bass). I would not be surprised if they have higher specked headphone speakers, just due to the timing, and Apple’s relentless drive forward. I don’t use Android which is their target market, but that is fine. Their noise cancelling doesn’t seem as good. You can more easily turn off a call in error because it is not intuitive to push them in the ears for a better fit, without switching it off. There is a method, because of their shape - pinch the sides to push in. I would prefer comply foam to the rubber in the box - for grip mainly. Super comfortable. Good price for what you get and Apple’s QC. I’m glad for the water resistance - though honestly I believe that the Apple Pros are just as water résistent but they didn’t want people testing it until the data came in (just my experience, and knowledge of the way the conservative way Apple approaches those claims in particular - their first gen NON pros, went in a quarter of a washing cycle and worked for another YEAR!). The microphones are not good, obviously they lack the directional stick that are baked into the Apple versions. I am an audiophile and buy tonnes of headphones - I am astonished how good wireless stuff is now. I used to drop 3k on wired ear buds. No more! I use those amazing ones at home with a dedicated DAC occasionally - but 90% of the time I will use these or some version of them. I got the new expensive Sony’s v4 whatever long name they use. These are 15x as comfortable and half the price. A no-brainer.
