Affiliate blogs here say 0% recommend, while the owner-based score is 58%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.
Synthesized from what Beats Studio Buds + owners say — not a spec sheet.
Retailers' own star averages, for comparison — separate from our vetted owner-verdict score above.
“Ive never really liked these beats buds, but its crazy how a translucent case makes me want to buy these.”
“if You are buying some beats for the first time, they are very good option”
“I’ve seen enough reviews on these to say I’m gonna pass.”
“I just hated when I push them back into my ear and they end the call smh”
“The studio buds are decent but compared to the air pods it’s just not as good”
“I love the Beats Studio buds, I’ve had both the AirPods Pro and the Beats Studio buds and to be honest I like the beats more.”
“they get the job done. The Plus may have small upgrades but not enough to drop $120-$170 on them”
“The lack of Qi charging is a major game changer considering the Beats price. Not sure why Apple did this.”
“estos beats me fascinaron, los uso mucho para hacer ejercicio y a pesar de que sudo mucho nunca se me han caído”
“I love the design, battery is really good and the music is amazing... Anddd that's about it sadly.. People say they have a secure fit but when I'm active I'm constantly trying to make sure they don't fall out and the phone calls sucks.”
“The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus.”
“the bud falls out a few times while running”
“Loved the first gen and i could care less about wireless charging on anything tbh. The only downside is the ear detection”
“I got the original black studio buds and I love em. They dont stick out and look ridiculous they just sneak away and fit well.”
“I almost bought the studio pro + to replace my OG AirPods but that mic comparison sold me on AirPods!”
“estos beats son muy mediocres por lo que cuestan”
“i am staying with beats as they are louder and got more bass in em”
“I have to push the buds in again every now and then as they start to get loose in my ear”
“creo que te faltó comentar que no tienen carga inalámbrica para mi es un gran punto negativo”
“I LOVE THEM! Probably one of, if not the BEST purchases I have ever made!”
“It’s an amazing earbud but the major problem I’ve been having is these earbuds can be fully charged but as long as the case is dead it won’t connect”
“Compared to the first generation, Studio Buds Plus bring improvements in terms of design, construction, ergonomics, sound quality, battery life and ANC.”
“My only complaint after a couple months is it's very hard to adjust the airbud without accidentally pressing the button.”
“I had a pair of Beats Studio buds and no matter what tip I put in they never fit. The right ear bud would just jump out of my ear and not fit.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, wiring, and quirks. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I replaced a pair of Apple AirPod Pros with the Beats Studio Buds+. Both had one earbud that drains faster than the other. I’d say it’s about a 7-10% difference if I wear them until one runs entirely out of charge.”
“They are a bit brighter than most earbuds but to me the bass is very deep. It doesnt have a lot of upper bass(boomy bass)”
“I found that enabled fixed Spatial Audio vastly changed the sound for the better”
“the bass is very deep but it’s not much punchy”
