Beats Studio Buds

These wireless earbuds can do it all, and cost less than most of the competition

- 

Wireless earbuds has become a very crowded landscape, with the best ones rapidly dropping in price while more and more of them include active noise cancellation. But the Beats Studio Buds have come in aggressively, offering not just a great price and ANC, but also fast-pairing and anti-loss features.

Compared to most noise-canceling true wireless buds, they’re impressively small. These Beats models feature a design that’s both clever and usefully ergonomic. They extend away from the ears a bit, but taper to a thinner strip – which is then perfect for grabbing with your fingers. It makes them super easy to remove from the case and to position or tweak in your ears.

Setup is a snap with these, whether you’re on iPhone or Android. Instant pairing on both platforms means you just open the lid and follow the instructions on-screen. This is a first for Beats on Android, though it’s worked this way on iPhones for a few years.
