Fit | All-Day Comfort With four ear tip options (XS, S, M & L) to fit a wider range of ears, Beats Studio Buds + create a comfortable acoustic seal for the best listening experience, securing your earbuds in place.
Battery Life | More Music, Less Charging With up to 36 hours of total battery life⁴ from the sleek, pocket-sized charging case, Beats Studio Buds + are ready to go whenever you are.

Summary of reviews
The earbuds offer a stylish design and good sound quality for music, but they face significant issues with connectivity and call quality. Many guests report problems with the earbuds disconnecting, poor microphone performance during calls, and discomfort with the fit. While some appreciate the noise cancellation and aesthetics, the overall experience is marred by frequent technical issues, making them less reliable for phone use.

Bought these in July 2024 now having issues with an earbud- still under manufactured warranty but went to Apple and they’re stating otherwise. They go by when Target purchased them and not the customer . Totally unacceptable and Target says they can’t do anything since it’s passed the return window.

The product is defective but you're not able to return after 15 days at target. The earbuds disconnect constantly and there is a ringing sound in the earbud when using noise cancellation. Don't recommend this product/purchasing any of the Apple products through Target as you won't have good customer support

I have had the worst customer service from Target. Not only was the order late, it was not fully fufilled. Then they don't want to do a return on the late items. The customer services agents just lie and push you off. Don't buy at target.

BoS Love - 2 months ago
I just brought these and they are sooo horrible not even loud and bass sounds like it'll rip the earbuds apart as I use power amp app for music on my android S22 ultra and not my iPhone 16 plus which sounded even worse!!! Quick as I got is quick as I returned them immediately in the store before leaving/walking out!!! And brought myself some pure bass jbl's and man well worth the money exactly what I was looking for and happy with purchase! So people reading this trust don't buy unless you spend $200 plus on better versions and still I wouldn't trust the quality at all after buying these Dre beats!
Sound great. Noise canceling not so much

While they sound awesome the active noise canceling is less than to be desired. It could possibly be due to the fact that I'm using them on an android device and not an apple product. I've no idea.

Constantly disconnecting from my devices. And the auto connect feature never works. Sound quality is nice and they feel good in my ears, but I can never get them to properly connect with my phone or iPad. Also the speaker is terrible, it seems like no one can hear me when I use them to talk on the phone. Definitely not worth the price at all.

Trev - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I LOVE THESE!! Ive had all the air pods, a Beats Solo and a Beats Studio. I was a little on the fence about getting these and eventually I said “whatever I’ll get them” and they did not disappoint all!! The sound quality is very clear. I watch a lot of shows and listen to music on my phone and with shows you hear everything pretty clearly. Even what the background actors are saying lol. With music it has the perfect amount of bass too. Only complaint I have is that there’s no left or right on the buds themselves so it’s pretty easy to get them confused lol but other than that I LOVE THESE. And the transparent ones are a vibe!!
Sadly Disappointed

They feel great, the music sounds great, but the call quality is terrible. Everyone I spoke with on the phone says that I’m delayed, they can’t hear me or that I sound like I’m under water. Purchased a few hours ago will return first thing in the morning.
