The Beats Studio Buds+ have dropped to $99.95, which is $70 off the usual $169.95. At that price, you’re getting active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and sweat resistance. Most earbuds with that combination cost noticeably more.
They also work well on both iPhone and Android, which not many earbuds at this price can genuinely claim.
What you’re getting
Compared to the original Studio Buds, the Studio Buds+ made two notable upgrades: stronger noise cancellation and spatial audio. The spatial audio adds depth to compatible content, making music and video feel less flat.
The noise cancellation holds up in busy commutes and open offices. Transparency mode is also quick to respond, so switching it on when you need to hear your surroundings actually works the way it should.
Most earbuds at this price work well on one platform and just okay on the other. The Studio Buds+ don’t have that problem.
On iPhone, they connect smoothly through Apple’s ecosystem. On Android, you get full Beats app support, one-touch Google Assistant, and Find My Device. Neither side gets a watered-down experience, which is rare at $99.
Call quality is clear and reliable. The IPX4 rating means sweat and light splashes won’t cause issues, so they hold up fine at the gym. The charging case is small enough to toss in a bag without taking up much space.
Why it’s worth it
Earbuds with both spatial audio and ANC usually cost more than $100. At $99.95, the Studio Buds+ bring both features to a price where the choice is straightforward. That’s especially true if you move between Apple and Android devices and don’t want to give up features to make it work.
The bottom line
At $99.95, the Studio Buds+ pack in ANC, spatial audio, and solid support for both iPhone and Android. That combination normally costs more, so the $70 discount makes this a good time to buy. There isn’t much at this price that matches what you’re getting here.
