In our review, we didn't think the performance (although great) matched the sky-high price. Apple has always created luxury tech with a higher-than-average price tag, but these are $549 / £549 / AU$899. We particularly liked the reprisal of the Apple Watch's Digital Crown, which allows you to precisely adjust the volume and easily control your music playback. What's more, they have brilliant quality of life features for those already devoted to the Apple ecosystem.īut it isn't all good news. We also appreciate the use of physical controls as opposed to the voguish swipe controls that most wireless headphones seem to favor these days. The design and build was also solid and unmistakably Apple and they were comfortable too. When we finally got our hands on the AirPod Max we found that, as you might expect, the audio quality was nothing short of extraordinary. So do they live up to the hype? Well, yes and no. Rumors and speculation about what they'll look like and sound like have been swirling for years. The Apple AirPods Max were some of the most highly-anticipated headphones ever. Your ears will thank you for it, both in music enjoyment and for the fact that they won't be sore after an hour of wear.-Very expensive compared to rivals -No 3.5mm audio port -Limited features for Android -Ineffective carrying case Though the materials are still the same - and they're really not great - there is a bump-up in audio quality, the same flawless W1 chip pairing with Apple devices, and some stellar color options available.įor the extra $50, choose the Studio3. It does also, however, mean battery life takes a hit.Īs it stands, these headphones are only $50 more if you buy them on Amazon, and I would say that the Studio3 are worth the extra money. It helps to remove a lot of the buzz and hum of car engines, chatter, and ventilation systems. If you'll be wearing your headphones regularly while commuting, you'll want to seriously consider ANC. For the comfort and longer periods of wear, the over-ear Studio3 is going to be the better option.įor the comfort and longer periods of wear, the Studio3 is the better option. The other aspects you'll want to explore are whether you prefer an on-ear or over-ear design, and whether or not you want/need active noise cancellation (ANC).
The Studio3 also have slightly larger drivers, which require a bit more power. That uses up a lot more battery than Bluetooth alone.
It's important to first note that the battery life discrepancy between these two pairs of headphones resides in the Studio3's active noise cancellation.
If the Solo3 are Goku, then the Studio3 are Super Saiyan 1 Goku. When choosing between the Solo3 and Studio3, it's important to note that you're choosing between two classes of headphones on offer from Beats.
