In my opinion, the fact that the Beats Studio Pro have a headphone jack and USB-C connectivity make them more appealing than the Airpods Max.

Simply just being able to get audio through USB-C is an amazing feature.

I choose the Beats now as my preferred over the ear headphones! Yes, I own the AirPods Max also! The three major factors for me are the weight - the Beats are noticeably lighter, the flexibility the Beats provides by folding and the case. This causes the Beats to be much more portable compared to the Max. The max are a stay at home headphone. Finally it’s the price, although I bought the Max the day of release 💰- 500 vs 349 is significant. There are other minor quibbles that doesn’t change my opinion. ANC and transparency mode are very similar! Finally, the Beats present a much subtler image in public! How things change! The Max have become more of a status and fashion statement! I experience this when my 20-year daughter who attends UCLA has in the last few months has asked for the Max’s now!🙏🏽

Thanks for the in-depth compare. Apple was thinking that no matter which device consumers choose, it will generate revenue for the company. This is the same marketing strategy Proctors and Gamble followed for years. Since Jan 2023, Apple stock has climbed 55%! They make nice products and have a very “sticky” ecosystem and now they are expanding their reach in each product category.

I tried the Beats Studio Pros at the Apple store yesterday and found them to have an okay sound, however, the Sony M4's go way louder than the Beats Studio Pros.

I was really hoping for someone to review lossless. Thank you for testing it.

[Epicgamer_Mac]

The price and extras that come with the Beats make them an incredible deal. Plus it comes with a case and not a bra 😂
Great video guys!

[RossMKF]

Nice thing about these is they are compatible with the fast pair and all the features for both android and iOS not just iOS like the air pods max

[OGNord]

Also how are your AirPods dead all the time? I’ve never had the issue of leaving them for days without cover and coming back to the same battery.

At 2:00 you state that the beats turn off when folded, but that’s not the case this feature was removed on this model. Also they can’t sense when they are on your head or when you take them off to pause the music. Not a big deal but most headphones in this price range include this. Used to love the beats brand and still love the Powerbeats pros. At this time the air pod max’s at 100 bucks off on Amazon ($450) .. for 100 bucks more than the these beats you get the Apple h2 chip and all the sensors.

I had the Beats Solo and enjoyed them just not the on ear type. These sounds like a lot of good options such as USB-C charging, foldable, on/off button and comes with cable to listen wired. I still don’t know I would like these better than my current APM for sounds and comfort.

[davionphilpot]

Just bought the beats after watching this video. Good news they both are on sale right now!!

[derick-smith]

I picked up the Beats for $179 on Amazon. Amazing for that price!

[OGNord]

1:33 yes you can. You can use your AirPods Max while charging. I’ve done this loads of times with usb c to lightning cable on my laptop or even straight out of a jack.

[rjbslio]

I have the Max, but I just ordered the Studio in Navy. The carrying case is the big W for me. Max's case isn't protective at all.

[kaiwind]

The question for me is can you replace the cups by snap on or twist off? Or is the still gotta peel them off……

[davemeadows]

Biggest consideration for me is the fit on the ears. The AirPods Max fit completely over my ears. The Beats look smaller to me?

[mikeyg]

Literally just traded in my old beats for the studio pros and there’s a huge difference in the quality. And being cheaper than both the max and the Sony’s these offer a great alternative now. Also the usb c and 3.5 is huge I know when I travel now I’ll only need one brick to power all of my stuff

[CurryMonster]

i just wish the beats were more comfortable for long term use. features are amazing but it hurts after a couple hours of wear

[katrinpetautschnig]

how much worse is the ANC ?
It is an important factor for me while I travel a lot. I do tend more to buy the Beats Studio Pro right now
