Overview
Two years after the release of the first Studio Buds, Beats has extended its range of headphones with Studio Buds +, an improved version of the first that promises better voice pickup, noise reduction, and longer battery life.Regarding build quality, comfort, audio performance, and much of the user experience, the Studio Buds + are identical to the Studio Buds. That's why we're inviting you to look at the review of the latter to get a better idea of the Studio Buds + because we're only going to focus on the differences between the two models.
Build quality & Comfort
User experience
While the user experience is very similar between the two models, Studio Buds + differs from the 'regular' Buds in a few respects. Firstly, these headphones caow control playback volume, but only by sacrificing the controls for changing listening modes. We would have preferred the implementation of an additional gesture to control both at the same time.Studio Buds + can be registered to a Gmail or iCloud account. In the first case, and therefore only with Android or Chromebook devices, they can switch automatically from one device to another in complete 'transparency.' Unfortunately, this feature is not available between Apple devices, as Studio Buds + lack the H1 chip found in AirPods and Beats Fit Pro.Moreover, measurements showed a latency of 177 ms compared with 285 ms on the first Studio Buds. Moreover, unlike Studio Buds, we didn't notice any coection problems during evaluation.
Audio
Battery life
The Studio Buds + stayed awake for between 6 and 9 hours, depending on whether or not noise reduction was activated. This score fully aligns with the manufacturer's promises and represents a 1-hour improvement on the Studio Buds. The box offers around three extra charges.
