The Beats Studio Pro, a highly anticipated set of noise-canceling headphones from Apple’s Beats division, was recently unveiled. While consumers had to wait several years for an update to Beats’ over-ear headphones, they didn’t have to wait long for a discount on the latest model. The Beats Studio Pro has been dropped from its original price of $349 to $250 at Woot, resulting in a 29 percent discount. This discount matches the lowest price we’ve previously seen for these headphones.
It’s important to note that while Amazon owns Woot, the two platforms have different returns policies. So, if you’re considering purchasing the Beats Studio Pro from Woot, be aware of their specific returns policy before making a decision.
The Beats Studio Pro is a solid choice for those in search of over-ear wireless headphones. In our review, we gave these headphones a score of 81. One of the major improvements in this model is the enhanced sound quality compared to previous iterations. With a second-generation version of Beats’ audio chip, these headphones offer upgraded active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and dynamic head tracking. The voice performance is above average, and the addition of a transparency mode and USB-C wired audio for higher-resolution sound is a welcome feature.
However, there are some downsides to consider. The lack of an automatic pausing function may be bothersome for some users, and the headphones don’t offer the most comfortable fit when compared to other options on the market. Additionally, there’s no support for iOS multipoint connectivity, despite being a device from an Apple brand. This means you can’t connect to multiple Apple devices simultaneously for seamless switching. Hopefully, Beats will address this limitation in the future.
Overall, the Beats Studio Pro is a solid choice for those in need of over-ear headphones, especially at the discounted price of $250. If you’re a fan of Beats and looking to upgrade your headphones, now is a great time to do so. Alternatively, there are numerous other excellent wireless headphones available on the market that are worth considering.
