![]() The Studio Buds+ also eliminate buzzing noises at a high level I wore them while shaving and wasn’t bothered by my hybrid electric trimmer’s motor sounds. Common household noises like kitchen appliances, loud TVs and my toddler’s babbling weren’t distracting either. There was construction taking place outside of my balcony and lots of dog barking – neither broke my concentration when working indoors. The combination of larger mics, revised front vents for less pressure build-up and stronger processing gives the Studio Buds+ ANC that can compete with several premium options like the sibling Beats Fit Pro and Sony WF-1000XM4. Beats tweaked its technology to produce stronger noise neutralization that adapts to different scenarios and environments. It’s a shame Beats didn’t include headtracking to give Dolby Atmos tracks an extra layer of realism.ĪNC on the original Studio Buds was impressive, but it didn’t translate well to ambient listening or calls. Freddie Hubbard’s “Weaver of Dreams” was a serene listen that placed instruments properly on the soundstage, allowing me to visualize where each musician was on stage. The 360-degree audio format shined on live performances and jazz records. That same joy was shared when streaming music on my Google Pixel 6 Pro.Īpple’s spatial audio feature is available and automatically turns on when listening to Dolby Atmos tracks on Apple Music. I mostly used the Studio Buds+ with my iPhone 14 and MacBook Pro and was pleased with performance, especially on macOS. The grimey drums on MF Doom & Madlib’s “All Caps” sounded crisp and impactful, while the elastic bass line and kick-snare combo on Rage Against the Machine’s “Pistol Grip Pump” knocked hard against my eardrums.Ĭlarity increased significantly when switching from Spotify to Tidal Hi-Fi and Master recordings delivered clearer highs and vocals. The Studio Buds+ are now engineered to produce cleaner bass with “ultra-low distortion.” I played several hip-hop and rock bangers to get a feel for the low end and was met with emphatic bass that didn’t muddy up the soundscape.
