The verdict

On paper the Beats Studio Pro are a competent set of headphones with good sound quality, effective ANC, and decent battery life. However, the decision to make smaller ear cups means that people are likely to have difficulties, especially glasses-wearers and those with average-to-large-sized heads. Many things are great about the Beats Studio Pro, but this one flaw is enough to cause hesitation in recommending them to most people.

✓What we like
✓Sound quality is competent and well-balanced, favoring clear highs over heavy bass
✓Active noise cancellation is really good when you have a proper fit, deadening most unpleasant commuting sounds by 50-90%
✓Battery life lasts over 31 hours on a full charge, more than enough for a week of commutes
✓USB DAC allows for wired listening via USB-C with three additional EQ presets
✓Lightweight at 270g and portable with easy folding for storage
✕What could be better
✕Small ear cups (59 x 40 mm) create fit issues for anyone with average-to-large-sized ears, especially problematic for glasses-wearers
✕Stiff headband with scant padding digs into the skull during extended wear
✕Cheap-feeling plastic construction with limited metal components
✕Controls require force to press, causing accidental seal breaks and negatively impacting ANC fit
✕Confusing indicator system with no audio prompt to indicate which EQ preset is in use
✕Can't change EQ presets unless audio is playing and can't use ANC or transparency mode while listening over USB unless there's no audio playing
