The new Beats Studio is an overall good headphone for the average consumer. If you are a die hard audiophile this may not be for you. There are better headphone out there and priced much better. The new foam ear pad is extremely comfortable and the construction is solid. You can somewhat be rough with this headphone and not have to worry about it cracking. I like the mute button idea. Press and hold to mute in case you need to speak or hear someone. I like the style queues and different colors available.
The pros: I do like the auto on/off feature when you plug/unplug the cable to the headphone. This helps save battery consumption. The battery surprisingly last a while for powered headphones. Also, it is now rechargeable. New version is a much more balanced tones of mids and highs. Yet you still get a nice rich bass tone for bass heads. Long gone is the muddle bass.
The cons: Price. Battery powered. I wished they had a Studios version that is not noise cancellation to get away from the battery aspect. The noise cancellation on the Studios is terrible, it doesn't cancel anything out. I don't like the fact that if the battery is dead, you cannot use the headphones. So if you constantly use your headphones, you'll want to make sure that you charge it everyday to insure you do not run out of power. It leaks sound considerably... so if you listen to loud music your neighbor next to you will be able to hear it. Granted it is an improvement from the past model.
Despite the cons, I still think these are great headphones. Like with everything now a days, style is part of the reason why a person would buy this headphone and no one can deny that the Beats headphones are stylish.
