Beats Studio Pro: The $350 Headphones That Forgot They’re $350 Headphones
Well, folks, it’s time to talk about the Beats Studio Pro, the latest offering from the brand that’s known for its bass-heavy sound and its ability to make you look like you’re wearing two small UFOs on your ears. These new headphones come with a price tag that’s as hefty as their name, ringing in at a cool $350. But don’t worry, they’ve got some powerful Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to make sure you don’t hear your bank account crying.
ANC: The Feature That Actually Works
Let’s start with the good news. The ANC on the Beats Studio Pro is pretty impressive. It’s like having your own personal cone of silence. You could be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and not hear a thing. Perfect for when you want to ignore the world and pretend you’re in a music video.
Missing Features: The Beats’ Amnesia
Now, let’s move on to the not-so-good news. For $350, you’d expect these headphones to come with a few bells and whistles. Maybe a built-in espresso machine or a feature that translates dog barks into English. But no, the Beats Studio Pro seems to have forgotten that it’s supposed to be a high-end product.
Firstly, there’s no support for aptX, a high-quality Bluetooth audio codec. This is like buying a Ferrari and finding out it doesn’t have a radio. Secondly, there’s no multi-device connectivity. So if you were planning on connecting these headphones to your phone and laptop at the same time, you’re out of luck. It’s one at a time, like a strict school teacher enforcing a queue at the water fountain.
The Verdict: Beats by Dre, Not by Features
So, should you buy the Beats Studio Pro? Well, if you’ve got $350 burning a hole in your pocket and you’re desperate for some peace and quiet, then sure, go for it. But if you’re looking for a pair of headphones that actually justifies its price tag with a range of features, you might want to look elsewhere.
And now, to end this review in the most appropriate way possible, here’s a block quoted gangsta rap rhyme:
“Beats Studio Pro, you’re a pricey sight,
ANC so strong, it’s like eternal night.
But where’s the features, where’s the flair?
For $350, it just ain’t fair.
So listen up Beats, hear my plea,
Next time, give us more for our fee.”
