I’ve bought some Beats Studio 3 for Black Friday, although I know they aren’t a go or aren’t a favorited headphone I got them on a really good deal that I couldn’t pass on. Any thoughts on this and if it was a good purchase lmk.

    I have a non-ANC pair I got free with a MacBook. Honestly, they’re not terrible. They definitely need some EQing to make the bass not a muddy mess, but once you tweak it it’s decent (at the price you paid; certainly not for MSRP). Wireless Koss Porta Pros with Yaxi pads would sound better and be more comfortable, but they’re open back and not noise canceling, so it’s an entirely different use case.

    If you don’t like them you can always return them. Most important thing is how you like the headphones, not what internet people think.

    The studio 3 sound significantly worse than the Studio Pro’s I would not suggest spending $100 on these if you can’t afford the $60 more for the pros.

      I got them just for working out and to basically trash as a throwaway pair. I already have AirPods Max and those are impossible for working out. At least for me they are
