Beats Studio Buds: Design - in-ear hook is out

Bringing a new design compared to Beats’ previous true wireless earbuds like the Powerbeats Pro, the new Beats Studio Buds have dropped the design of the in-ear hook and opted for a close fit inside the ears. This means that unlike the more expensive AirPods Pro, they do not have a stem that protrudes outside the ear either. Looks better? Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Beats Studio Buds: Wireless charging - missing

However, there is a minus side too. Unlike the AirPods Pro, these earbuds do not support wireless charging. Nevertheless, once fully charged, the Beats Studio Buds offer a battery backup of eight hours with active noise cancellation turned off, but this figure drops down to five hours once ANC is enabled.
