They’re comfortable and well made. Last a long time on each charge and can even charge from your iPhone via the usb-c cable whilst listening to lossless music or even Dolby Atmos music at the same time! They sound incredible with great bass and clarity. The different settings are great too for noise cancellation and surround sound (which actually works amazingly well!) or just having them set to normal sound works well.
Wind noise is the only downside I’ve found but it’s not a deal breaker. Using them to make phone calls is really good and the microphone picks up your voice very well indeed so calls a clear.
The way they fold up is very nice and the case is small enough not to take up much room at all and is excellent quality too. 5 stars!!
The beats produce great music, and my bf states he has heard new sounds from his regularly listened to songs because of the quality.
Works good for phone calls. Noise cancelling is great. It reads texts out loud too!
The only downside I found is through IMessage Voice Memos. For some reason, it is EXTREMELY quiet when sending out memos. So when I receive a voice memo from my boyfriend, I have to max my volume out to just BARELY hear it.
It’s not busy with noises, it is just extremely quiet.
The beats come with a USB C cord (I think?) but NOT the block, so you have to purchase a new connective block if you do not have the updated version.
Apart from that, these are amazing beats and I highly recommend.

They weren't worth keeping.
In noise cancelling mode they picked up the sound of wind and made the wind louder.
They kept randomly dropping my music, the headphones would stay connected and the music would still be playing but I would hear nothing.
There was this constant popping noise when music was on.
I ended up just buying replacement parts for my Beats Studio 3 headphones with the refunded money. They were annoying to fix but worlds better than these brand new headphones.
Better to skip these and wait for new ones to come out or just go for a different brand all together.

As an adult at home, I have my beyerdynamic dt 770 pros for mixing and editing with. I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2s for travel and day to day usage. Recently, I have started to work from home a lot more in meetings, and there has been a lot of construction outside my window, and I hate having things stuck in my ears for hours on end so I was in the market for a pair of noise canceling over ear headphones.
My partner has a pair of AirPods Max, I found the sound to be really great, detailed with good sound stage and flat great for voice but clinical and safe in all respects and lacking the bass I was looking for. Even with the top-of-the-pack anc and apple integration features I was used to on my in-ears I never could swallow the price. Also they were comfortable, but so heavy and not suited for long periods of wear. And the case was weird.
So I tried the bereydynamic lagoon ANCs. They were garbage. Impossible to use the controls and pair with devices, sounded really good but not as good as I would expect from this brand, and the issues go on and on. They did have good bass, but the anc barely worked. I liked them at a lot at first, but they fell apart so quickly.
Then I saw that apple had brand new beats headphones, and were 30% off on Amazon. I had to try them, the nostalgia hit hard and I’m so happy they didn’t change the iconic design from the studio 2s which I also liked as a replacement for my solos. I. Am. Floored. Super lightweight yet feel very solid and no creaking, apple integration features (i consider no auto switching to be a plus tbh, but icloud pairing is a must. Works very well with Apple TV), but the sound! Is so FUN. It’s like I’m in a concert hall with huge racks of speakers and towers of subwoofers. So much better than my old beats, by a landslide. Great instrument separation, and decent soundstage, sounds less like a wall of sound like my pro 2s do but not as wide and spatial as the max. A little bright for my taste, but never enough to cause fatigue. None of them come close to the 770s of course - would I recommend these for classical? Or acoustic? Never. Or for any type actual professional work? No. But if you like electronic, you will have so much fun enjoying music with these. The ANC and transparency is very very good, identical to my AirPods Pro, I would argue maybe even better than the max in some situations. The mic quality is good, not as good as my AirPods but good enough for work calls. I also love watching movies, and having multi-channel support like my pro 2s is epic. I absolutely love these - and am so happy I got them!

Sound quality is very good and I am most impressed with its ability to do DOLBY ATMOS. Make sure the content you are listening to is formatted for ATMOS and that your phone/device has atmos turned on. It makes a big difference. Bass sounds good and deep but maybe a little less than expected for Beats. Volume turned up loud did not make crackling noises or become distorted. Battery lasts a decent amount and nice to recharge by USB (goodbye batteries!). Noise cancelling is pretty good too and with audio playing it gets rid of any outside noises.
Some people complained about the comfort and their ears hurting. I have not experienced this. The ear pads are pretty soft and your ear (mine at least) fits INSIDE the padding verses ON my ear. I can wear for hours and have no issues.
Overall a well made product that sounds great for $200 (Deal Price). I'm happy with it and my beats studio buds!

High frequencies are good in both headphones, but Sennheiser has them more emphasized. Sometimes it feels like if you crank them slightly higher you're gona hear sibilants. It's on the edge and this is not the most pleasant edge to me. However, the sound is accurate and somewhat distinctive in the upper-frequency range for the Sennheiser. As for the Beats, highs are as detailed as on the Sennheiser (if not more) but not overemphasized.
Mids: Beats > Sennheiser.
Sennheisers have a so-called v-shaped sound profile so it feels like Beats have way more mids. It might be even too much at first, but you get used to it. Beats are more detailed and fast. Sennheiser feels muddy in comparison (but still very precise and detailed compared to Sony and Bose). I think it's partially because of overemphasized bass that brings distortion into the mid range. You start hearing things that were not originally intended to be there by artists. Because of this, Sennheiser sounds more "musical", it fills the voids between the instruments and produces an overall "dense" sound. And the Beats have more reference sound. For many instrumental tracks (rock, metal) Beats might sound boring and hollow. I can't blame the headphones because such music is usually mastered to sound good on consumer electronics. And you can't put good "dense" sound into an average stereo system. It will sound too muddy and.. just bad. So they leave the voids between the instruments and try to separate them. But on a reference headphone, this sounds... well... too reference :)
Electronic music is a completely different story, this is where Beats shine! Electronic sounds are way more precise. And with Beats, you get this precision (especially in the complicated EDM tracks; I mostly listened to psytrance, psychill, idm, etc. But an average techno/trance sounds good as well). Sennheisers sound fine too, but only until you compare them with Beats.
Bass: Sennheiser > Beats.
The Beats are precise, again, and so is the bass. If the bass was intended in the music that you listen to - you will hear it. And you will hear exactly as much as it was planned by an artist. Rap songs sound great because of that, as well as some EDM tracks with massive sub-bass. As for the Sennheisers, well, they are v-shaped still so they add a subtle amount of bass to the overall mix, and in most cases, this sounds fine and even fun. It also comes without surprise that in bass-heavy rap songs, it starts to sound too overemphasized. In terms of precision, Sennheisers are not as precise but still hold their ground well against sony/bose/etc.
Soundstage: Sennheiser > Beats.
Soundstage feels subtly more open on the Sennheisers. Probably this is because they are not as precise and produce more "parasite" harmonics that make instruments sound further from your head. I like this effect but this makes me wonder if it's possible to achieve a good soundstage for closed headphones without compromising the sound speed and precision.
ANC/Transparency: Beats > Sennheiser.
Beats are slightly better in noise cancellation and noticeably better in transparency mode. Not as good as AirPods Max, but kinda close. Sennheiser is not bad though, it's just not as good. Wind can be a problem for both headphones, but I don't care. Beats are better at blocking fan noise but may overemphasize it in the transparency mode.
Mic: Sennheiser >> Beats.
Sennheiser microphones are superior both in terms of volume and quality. Beats is really mediocre, on the edge of what I would call "usable" for the zoom meetings. On top of that Beats mic sounds really quiet in Windows 11 rendering itself useless. I hope new firmware/drivers will fix that.
Ergonomics: Sennheiser > Beats.
I like Sennheiser more. Beats have smaller earcups with stiffer ear cushions. Also, the clamping force on my average-sized head is obnoxiously strong. Not to the point when I feel a headache after wearing them for a few hours but still too much in my opinion. However, I like the fact that Beats are more compact. It makes a difference when I listen to them in bed, for example. They don't rub as much against the pillow and don't produce a lot of noise like Sennheisers.
Sennheiser ear cups are rotating 180 degrees when on the Beats, they barely move. This is important if you want to move one headphone back to open your ear when you need to listen to somebody or something from the outside world quickly. Or if you're a DJ and need to hear monitors with one of your ears :). Sennheiser earcups pivot and stay perfectly adjacent to your head, unlike the Beats.
Connectivity: Beats > Sennheiser.
Both headphones are ok when you're near the source, but the Beats stay connected longer as I walk away from it. The usable distance is like ~30% longer. They also perform better for a source behind a wire mesh or a security door. I know that Sennheiser is capable of working with 2 devices simultaneously and this works pretty well. Not sure about the Beats but I don't really care...
Controls: Beats >> Sennheiser.
Beats are very basic. They don't even have a head detection. And this feels soo good after the glitchy Sennheisers! You can read more details in other Sennheiser reviews, but they are really bad in that aspect. I bit the bullet and used them as my daily drivers, and oh boy... settings were getting changed randomly, I had tons of fantom head detection events, and when I wanted to put them on or off I almost always accidentally touched the right earcup sensor and triggered something (usually play/pause).
