Beats is known for its bass-dominant sound and fine-tuned acoustics, and the Studio 3 offers just that and more. This model carries a noise-canceling technology called the Pure Adaptive Noise Canceling (ANC), which actively blocks out external noise like the hum of engines or the squeal of the train. To match this Pure ANC, Beats also thrown in a real-time audio calibration feature that preserves the range, emotion, and clarity of sound. The result is a premium listening experience that especially fares well in rock, hip-hop, and pop.

These Beats headphones excel in the areas of comfort and durability. The soft over-ear cushions on the earcups sport economic pivoting and advanced venting, ensuring a secure and flexible fit for any head shape. The headband also folds for easy storage inside the included hard-shell carrying, which is a plus point for travel convenience. An on-ear control system just makes the experience better — skip songs, take calls, adjust the volume, or activate Siri with a simple touch of a button.

Although wrapped in Beats skin, the Studio 3 are without a doubt a pair of Apple headphones through and through. They run the Apple W1 chip with Class 1 Bluetooth connectivity which is considered the industry-leading classification for signal strength. Their battery life is said to last for up to 40 hours, providing enough power for all-day, non-stop listening sessions.

Razer’s Barracuda V2 Pro launches with a better mic, longer battery, and a lower price
Razer has also added simultaneous wireless playback, Hybrid ANC, and a detachable boom mic for gaming.

Razer has launched the Barracuda V2 Pro, a new wireless gaming headset that is meant to work just as well away from a desk as it does in front of one. It costs $199.99 and comes with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio, THX Spatial Audio+, and up to 70 hours of battery life.

The original Barracuda Pro followed much the same formula. We liked its understated design, balanced audio, and flexible connectivity, but the $250 price, loose fit, and weak microphone made the package harder to recommend. The interesting part here is that Razer seems to have gone directly after a few of those complaints.
