In short
Get Beats Studio Pro if you want noise-cancelling headphones that fold and work natively with both iPhone and Android, for $349.99. Beats rates the battery at 40 hours, or 24 with noise cancelling or Transparency on, and they weigh 260 grams. USB-C carries lossless audio and there's a 3.5 mm input for wired sources; skip them if you want LDAC or aptX on Android.
Who it is for
- Homes with both iPhones and Android phones. Beats Studio Pro pairs with one tap on Apple devices and through Google Fast Pair on Android, and each platform's own finding service can locate it.
- Travelers who want noise cancelling in something light that folds: 260 grams, a carrying case, and a 3.5 mm input for in-flight entertainment.
- Beats Studio 3 owners who want Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio and USB-C.
Who should skip it
- Android listeners who want LDAC or aptX. Beats names no codecs for Studio Pro; it lists Class 1 Bluetooth 5.3.
- Anyone who needs 30 hours with noise cancelling on. Studio Pro is rated for 24 with noise cancelling or Transparency, and reaches 40 only with both off.
- Gym-goers. Beats gives Studio Pro no water or sweat rating.
What sets it apart
- Lossless audio over USB-C through a built-in DAC, with three sound profiles, plus a 3.5 mm analog input and Class 1 Bluetooth 5.3.
- Fast Fuel: up to 4 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge when the battery is low.
- Folds into its carrying case and weighs 260 grams (9.17 oz).
- Fully adaptive noise cancelling and a Transparency mode on a button.
Caveats
- Switching between devices is Apple's Automatic Switching or Android's Audio Switch. Beats doesn't list two-device Bluetooth multipoint, so staying paired to a laptop and a phone at once isn't something it promises.
- Lossless playback needs a compatible USB source and lossless files or streams.
- Beats doesn't give a driver size, frequency response, impedance or sensitivity for Studio Pro.

Noise cancelling and Transparency
Beats calls Studio Pro’s noise cancelling fully adaptive: it monitors the noise around you and keeps tuning its filter to match. A button on the headphones switches to Transparency when you need to hear the room.
Battery and charging
| Mode | Beats Studio Pro |
|---|---|
| Noise cancelling and Transparency off | Up to 40 hours |
| Noise cancelling or Transparency on | Up to 24 hours |
| Fast Fuel, 10-minute charge (low battery) | Up to 4 hours |
It charges over USB-C. Fast Fuel applies only when the battery is low, so don’t expect 4 hours from every 10-minute top-up.
Wired listening: USB-C lossless or 3.5 mm
Plug Studio Pro into a compatible USB-C source and it plays lossless audio through its built-in DAC, in one of three sound profiles: Beats Signature, a balanced tuning for music; Entertainment, for movies and games; and Conversation, for calls and podcasts. The 3.5 mm analog input covers sources without USB-C, such as in-flight entertainment.
On iPhone and on Android
On Apple devices, Studio Pro pairs with one tap across your iCloud account and works with Siri and Find My, and you change its settings in iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
On Android, the Beats app handles settings and software updates, Google Fast Pair takes care of pairing, Audio Switch moves the headphones between compatible Google devices, and Find My Device can locate them.
Size and case
Studio Pro weighs 260 grams (9.17 ounces) and measures 181 × 178 × 78 mm. The cushions are what Beats calls UltraPlush engineered leather, the sliders are metal, and the headphones fold into a newly designed carrying case. If you’re also weighing AirPods Max, AirPods Max 2 and AirPods Max 1 (USB-C) have their own guides.
Price
Beats launched Studio Pro at $349.99 on 19 July 2023. Orders opened that day on apple.com, and it reached stores the next day in the US, Canada, France and Germany, in Black, Deep Brown, Navy and Sandstone. It was still $349.99 at Beats and Apple in September 2026, so check for a discount before you pay full price.
