Our verdict

Beats Studio Buds are the easy-recommend all-rounder: good sound, solid ANC, a comfortable secure fit, and true cross-platform support. For Android users especially, they're one of the smartest earbud buys around.

The short version

Beats Studio Buds hit a sweet spot: genuinely good, balanced sound (less bass-heavy than old Beats), effective active noise cancellation, and a small, comfortable fit that stays put at the gym. Unlike AirPods, they pair easily on both iPhone and Android, and they're sweat-resistant for workouts. A great all-rounder that's frequently on sale.

Frequently asked questions

Do they work with Android?

Yes — that's a key advantage over AirPods. They pair and work fully on both Android and iPhone.

Is the noise cancellation good?

It's effective for the price — it noticeably quiets commutes and offices, though the very best earbuds edge it out.

Are they good for the gym?

Yes — they're compact, secure and sweat resistant, so they stay put during exercise.

How's the sound?

Balanced and punchy rather than overly bass-heavy, which is a change from older Beats.
