Beats lack an H1 chip, which is unusual for a Beats product. This means you can’t seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices. Instead, they feature a ‘one-touch pairing’ system that works for iOS and Android. On the upside, they support Apple’s Spatial Audio feature for a more immersive experience, but this is only supported on compatible apps like Apple Music. ..

The Beats Studio Buds come with a one-year warranty, which is more than most other earbuds on the market.

To remove the earbuds, you first need to open the earbuds by prying them open with your fingers. Then, you can pull out the buds by pulling on the control panel. The control panel is raised, so it helps keep the buds in place without any over-ear hooks or a fin that pushes against the outer ear. Once they’re out of the way, you can put them back in by pushing them down into their slots.

The Beats Studio Buds are sweat-resistant but not waterproof, meaning you can take them to the gym but not the beach. ..

The Studio Buds come with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and additional eartips. The eartips are silicone, but they come in two extra sizes. The charging cable is also silicone.

Apple’s Beats Studio Buds have a proprietary wireless chip that’s not the W1 or H1 Chip seen in other Apple earbuds. This is both refreshing for Android owners who haven’t been catered to as well in recent years by the Beats brand since its acquisition by Apple and a bit of a disappointment for some Apple users who enjoy features like multipoint pairing with other Apple devices and hands-free Siri. The battery life on offer in the Beats Studio Buds is fine but not great. ..

The Beats Studio Buds are noise-cancelling earbuds that have ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) mode and Transparency mode. The ANC mode helps reduce background noise, while the Transparency mode helps you hear what is happening around you. The Beats Studio Buds don’t have wireless charging, but they do support fast-charging. The Beats Studio Buds can get one hour of playback time from just five minutes on the charger.
