Dr. Dre's Beats headphones have gained notoriety ever since its release in 2008 as stylish and functional. The Beats Studio Bluetooth Headphones come in six different colors – white, blue, red, titanium and glossy or matte black – and are emblazoned with the recognizable "b" logo on each ear cup. Despite the premium price tag, the shell is made entirely of plastic held together by an adjustable metal band. Still, reviewers note that it is well-built, very durable and weathers drops quite well. Aside from its durability, they also mention that the headphones are also incredibly comfortable. T3 states, "…we found long stretches of listening were more than possible without any pinching or aching."

The most important aspect of any headphones is its sound quality. While previous Beats focused on the bass, critics found that these headphones were far more balanced but lacked the deep bass they had come to expect. According to The Guardian, this leads to muddy bass and genres like jazz, rock and folk are not well suited to the Studio Wireless. In addition, PC Magazine noticed significant distortion at higher volumes, though they also state that "they get incredibly loud compared to the bulk of the competition, and you shouldn't be listening at those levels to begin with."

They also comes with active noise cancellation circuitry, which reduces the need to crank up the volume. For the most part, critics found the technology average and noticed a fair amount of hiss when activated.

As a Bluetooth device, it comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that, according to all expert tests, lasts around 12 hours of use. Unfortunately, when the batteries die the headphones are still unusable even when plugging it directly into a smartphone with cables. When testing out wired versus wireless modes, reviewers found that sound quality and noise cancellation were actually much better in wireless mode.

While the Beats Studio Wireless does have its faults, most critics found it to be a step above its predecessors. Tech We Like says, "I'm pleased to say these Beats have a better overall sound than their previous models...I'm glad to see the progression of Beats…they have gotten sleeker, lighter, with a great battery life."
