I used to have a pair of Beats Studio 3 that did a decent job. But the headband broke.....cheap shit plastic. I had an old pair of iPhone wired ear buds that I used as an emergency backup. 1 year later I still haven't bothered asking for a replacement. I'm used to these now and honestly the sound quality from my mic is better than people with $500 Bose headsets. The only downside is I can't get up and pace around during meetings.
might be just me,but i have the studio 3’s from beats. haven’t failed me for 3 ish years now. never wiped em (yea i’m dirty/lazy) but i sweat like crazy. only thing that’s “bad” after 3 years is that the adjuster is loose.
I’m looking at getting the ch720ns on sale for $130 Canadian. I just bought the soundcore q20i on sale for 50$ Canadian but I honestly don’t like how they sound, especially when I’m listening to podcasts and stuff. Most of my listening is podcasts and when I listen to music I tend to listen to alternative and hip hop. The sound of voices on the q20i’s just sounds nowhere near as nice and natural as listening on my AirPods Pro 2s. The music also isn’t that great. I used to have the beats studio 3 and those sounded much better, but the q20i is much more comfortable to be fair which is very important for me. Anyone have advice for me on what I can pic up below 150$ Canadian? The wh ch 720n is on sale for 130$ Canadian and that seems like the best deal, I would love to get skullcandy crushers as well on sale for $130 Canadian but from what I can tell the skullcandy crusher evo sounds pretty trash and the skullcandy crusher anc 2 which seems to actually sound quite good and not just be about the gimmicky base costs too much for me right now as they aren’t on sale. I like a warmer natural tone and somewhat good anc is important to me.
Well Sony ch720n are like 269.99$ Cdn without sale so those aren’t really super cheap. I could go up to 250Cdn to get Beats Studio pro as I had Beats Studio 3 and those sounded quite good. My dream headphones for anc over ear are the Bose qc ultra 2 but those are like $500 even with the sale.
That’s what I’m saying beats Studio 3 sounded quite good compared to my AirPods Pro’s, but the soundcore doesn’t. I’m hoping the Sony ch720n will sound better because I ordered them on a sale and they come today. Otherwise maybe I’ll get the Beats Studio pros or sennheiser momentum 4s but those are an extra $150 at 280$ Canadian on sale right now 470$ when not on sale.
Listen dumbass. Every pair of Beats Studio 3 has ACTIVE NOISE CANCELING. you probably had a fake pair or didn’t know how to turn it on
i have small ears. i used to wear airpods a few years ago and they constantly slid out, i was always readjusting them and shoving them back into my ears. at that point it starts hurting. started using beats studio 3s and they are a lot more comfortable, sound quality is better, adjustable, and never get smelly lol!
I have the XM5s and I think they clamp a ton less than the Beats Studio 3s I had before them, they don’t bother me at all
