Beats Studio Buds Gain Battery Pop-Up, Instant iCloud Pairing and More With New Firmware

You know the answer to that

I do, and that is why I wanted to ask. Haha

Wtf. They just add iCloud pairing with firmware? Biggest reason I returned mine

I bought these again, I love that they don’t have the ear hook and the case opening is better imo than the new Beats Fit Pro’s that I bought.

I really did love them but the lack of iCloud pairing was a deal breaker.

Anyone want to buy my Studio Pro Fit?

I swear when they came out with iCloud pairing they claimed it required the W1 chip or newer and when these bids came out they were marketed more to Android users as they’ve worked better with my Pixel than iPhone… now that this update came out I’m going to use them way more!

So i got my new pair, they work great - BUT they do not have the device auto switching feature of AirPods or the Beats Fit Pro, no on the spatial audio... They do appear in bluetooth settings on all of my icloud devices now though.


BUT

For me, I don't use either auto-switching or spatial audio (When I do, I can use my airpods max) so I love them Switching between my iphone, mac and ipad is now available as needed without having them tied to a single device.

Honestly, the upgraded firmware with the volume button controls now made me even more happy I decided to be content with these and not buy the Beats Fit Pro this week. The BSBs work just fine for the price and are comfortable.

I also didn't really realize how "heavy" my Jabra 65Ts are (my work earbuds) until I swapped them out for my BSBs after finishing a work call. My Jabras work great but now I kinda wish they'd meet a sudden death so I could justify buying something newer and lighter from Jabra for work.

Great to see the volume control functionality added.?

Author, I can not find iCloud Paring feature and even Apple Support doesn't know anything about this. Are you sure about this? How do you even know Apple added iCloud pairing? I can't find official statement for this firmware updates and NOBODY is not able to confirm this feature. I demand to know.

So randomly today I decided to records some voice notes on my phone with my four-ish-year-old Jabra 65Ts and then my BSBs to see the microphone difference (as I'm considering replacing my Jabras, my work buds, soon).

Holy crap - the BSB microphone quality was BAD compared to the Jabra buds - tinny, fading in and out. No way these would be good as my daily work cell buds.

I had reason yesterday to need my BSBs with my Apple TV. I had my iPhone nearby, which is the default connection with my BSBs. I pulled them out of the case with my Apple TV turned on, and sure enough, I got a popup on my ATV screen to press the Home button on the new Siri remote to connect them. They showed up on the settings as "temporary audio connection" and it worked perfectly.

Huzzah for the recent firmware update that enabled this.
