Just received my shadow grey special edition. Unboxing know.

Tried to upload photos of the unboxing but MR claims they are too big. So happy to get rid of the wire. Anybody want to buy wired Beats Studio headphones? They are mint. Apple replaced my failed ones recently. Have original box and accessories.

Awesome! You've just made me regret cancelling these - but I will purchase 2 next month! My son's step brother stole the OG Studios I purchased for him some 4yrs ago after spending 6hrs in -35 celcius outside BestBuy on Dundas/Yonge Sts in Toronto on the eve of Boxing Day. He treasured those and it made the frost bite I had so worth it! He deserved them and now heavily into music needs good headphones now.

PS: please right-side pics before uploading ;) You must've been SUPER excited when taking them so I completely understand.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
 
Anyone else grab these or any initial impressions?

On the fence about them but that Navy Blue is calling my name...

I know that matte Navy Blue is just as sick as the Matte Black (matches my iPhone 7). Going to sleep now and taking advantage of BestBuy Canada's last day of the Black Friday sale! Praying they have BOTH colours in stock so I can choose.

I'm NOT happy with the Bluetooth of iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Nike + S2 with the Jabra Pulse Elite I have. Playing music keeps being muted as if I'm getting a notification but I cannot tell nor see what is causing the pause. I'll need knew headphones for better battery life anyway.
 
Hello people.

I just picked up these in Matte Black taking advantage of the BestBuy (Canadian Black Friday sale giving $50 gift card).

I must say Apple killed it out of the park with the W1 chips Bluetooth setup. Replication across AWatch S2 (home Wi-Fi) and AppleTV was flawless, even if the later took about 5mins as I was changing internet service providers in between the sync).

ANC seems to sort of wash out volume levels of the playback audio. Hoping this will change with future updates. Highs, miss, and lows are equally matched and sounding great. Volume is just perfect from low to high.

These are my first Beats I’ve used or owned and I’m quite happy. Can’t wait to try these at the gym (skipping, squats , etc). No strain on my tiny ears, or skull from the headphones as some have complained about.

Have you tried making phone calls? Every cheap pair of bluetooth headphones I've bought sound horrible on the other end of a bluetooth call. How does the other person on the line hear you with these guys?

Call quality to the other party/parties is clear (home phone, cellphone earpiece/speaker phone). For those in a Honda/car Speaker phone I've found the following:

  1. BStudio3 I come across clear on internal care speakerphone. If I'm placed on hold by the other party and re-engaged on the same call i then come out sounding far away.
  2. BStudio3 ANC on ... to a car speakerphone I'll sound like I'm a few feet away from the microphone. Still clear just voice is far away, not muffled just have to speak louder, same as above situation.
NOTE: my Beats Studio3's (BStudio3) seems to be activating ANC ON by default with my iPhone 7, I'm not sure why so I'll be testing and and reading on this today and will reply. I've noticed after a week the ANC seems to be improving in killing external noise. My ears are VERY small 6cm top to earlobe and my neck hasn't gained size due to my current workouts and I always wear the same kind of baseball caps until the temperature drops below -12Celcius here in Toronto; which will be soon as last night we got our first snowfall that is staying on the ground. Riding the TTC Bus daily Ive noticed improvements since buses are VERY loud.
