Not on Amazon UK - still full price there.

 

[topdrawer]

they are worth less than half that.

Is the noise cancelling as good as AirPods?

 

[MrMojo1]

The Beats Fit Pro model's ANC/Transparency modes aren't that great. Otherwise, it's OK but finding decent fitting ear tips is also an issue. Tried different tips from different brands and none work well esp. for ANC.
The 'better' tip is the included silicone tips and even those aren't that great and hard to find replacements esp. if you have the colored models like the Volt Yellow colored tips which basically no one has. Also, no one sells just 1 particular size, only the combo sized pack (S,M,L) which is a waste.
If you own an iPhone, stick with the Apple APP2 model.

Can only comment on the Beats Fit Pro model.
The ANC is very weak and finding the proper ear tips is difficult and costly. The included silicone tips are alright but it's hard to find the exact replacement silicone tips, in one particular size and in one particular color (i.e. Volt Yellow).
iPhone owners should stick with the Apple APP2 for good ANC (until Apple decides to nerf the ANC with future updates like it did with the original APP).

No W1 or H1 chip? Not worth it for me. I’m already spoiled with the automatic switch between devices on my Solo Pros

In UK apple prices never seem to drop.

I own both and can answer this question.

Not even close. The ANC is very disappointing. The only reason I bought these was for the lossless audio support via USB-C.

 

[bigjnyc]

somehow still overpriced

 

[iamgalt]

Still waiting for second gen airpods max.

Came to say the same. Really frustrating we never see these big drops on Apple gear on Amazon over here.

I have AirPod Pros 2, AirPod Max, and these Beats Studio Pro. I use the APP2 for mobility, the APM when watching movies, and the Beats for music. I'd wear the APM for music too but the fabric and my beard don't mix well. While they sound better than the Beats, I think the Beats are good up to maybe $250.

I really wish Apple would open up the Apple TV hardware to allow third-party BT headphones to use Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio. That's what limits a lot of people like me who watch everything on the ATV several hours every night and wants the best sound.

That’s a bummer! Do you know of any wired headphones with good ANC? AirPods Max maybe?

I’m trying to find wired headphones with good ANC. Maybe AirPods Max but they are old and expensive.

It’s absurd how outdated they are for the price level

 

[Mr Magoo]

I still have and use my beats studio 2 in gold and white. And they look like new (changed earpads once) had them for about 10 years. Only complaint is they feel a bit cheap but as time has proved very durable and look great.

Airpods Max was released in December, 2020, so it's not that old, though it is expensive, as reported by just about every reviewer, owners and media reports about the product over the years.

Are Beats products just a lower quality version of AirPods? Why buy Beats over AirPods?

The perception of prestigious clout.

 

[svish]

Good discount for the Beats Studio Buds.

 

[DarthDon]

Bought the Philips Fidelio L3. Sound is perfect 😉

 

[Stiksi]

The perception of prestigious clout.

That sounds more like Apple’s own brand – Beats is mid-tier compared to Apple. The beats brand lost all of their clout after Apple bought them and put out Apple branded headphones.

That’s an interesting point of view.

To your point though, I have noticed that the popular opinion of Beats seems to be something along the lines of “the poor person’s AirPods”, just as how in some circles Android is perceived as “what one buys when unable to afford an iPhone”.

I own all of these. I have a sickness.

All of these have a ".....BUT...." to them.

The APM are the best sounding NC Headphones I own. BUT....They are a pain in the ass to travel with. They're a tad heavy, and their "case" is just about unusable on the road.

The latest Beats Studio Pros sound about 80% as good as the APM....BUT.... they do offer connected lossless audio which is awesome with the new USB-C iPhone, and they're mush better to travel with as they fold and some with an actually useable case.

The APP are fantastic. They sound great and are awesome for phone and zoom calls as well. I also really dig the new adaptability and voice sensing. BUT....on a plane they're not as good as an over-the-ear NC Headphone.

I'm also quite fond of the new Beats Studio Buds. Their volume control is great, and they're great for working our. BUT...with the included ear sleeves there's a noticeable and infuriating "flutter" sound when I run. So, I'd recommend getting the Comply memory foam version that fits them. That's makes them much better.
