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.

When they work, they work. Holds charge, noise cancellation and are superb. Unfortunately the mic often stops working and the person can no longer hear you and you have to disconnect and reconnect for it to start working again. Imagine having an important conversation and move of it unheard because of your quite expensive beats. This is with an iPhone 16. Maybe android users have better luck

I bought these for a long trip to use on the airplane, but the noise cancellation is terrible. It automatically adjusts based on surrounding noise, which meant the sound kept going loud and then low throughout the flight....very frustrating. When I got back home, I tried to return them only to find out Target only allows 30 days for apple/beats returns. I couldn’t even get store credit. That’s a total waste of $100. I wish the associate had mentioned the short return window (yes, it’s on the receipt, but who actually checks that right away?). Overall, bad return policy for electronics at Target. I won’t be buying tech here again, and now I’m stuck with useless headphones. BOO!
They will not stay in your ears

Viviana - 20 days ago, Verified purchaser
Got these for a trip since I did not want to spend much or travel with my big ones. These will not stay in my ears at the gym, once I start working out they will fall out. I saw reviews of people saying they do not come out but maybe my ears are weird. My second complaint is the noise cancelling, it barely does anything. I can still hear the music in the gym. I can't even return them because the 14 day return window but I am away. Not worth it for the price and I got them on sale

This review is for Target, not for the item. I ordered this item online at one of the Target stores in Springfield, Pennsylvania. It showed there were two in stock. I ordered it for drive up. Shortly after ordering, I received a notification that it was out of stock (please do a better job with your stock… This has happened to me multiple times before). I updated my pick up to the other store in Springfield, Springfield West at Springfield Mall. It appeared to be in stock there, so the order went through. Three hours later, I had still not received a notification that it was ready for pick up, but I really needed the item. I drove to the store and was about to go in then got a notification saying that it was ready for pick up. I pulled into a drive up spot and clicked the button to indicate I was here, got a notification that they would need time to go gather my order. Got to the point where I put in the number of the parking spot I was in and my order was canceled because it was apparently out of stock. I re-parked, went into the store, waited 15 minutes for the Rep in the electronics area to come back from break and unlock the case, and there was the product I had ordered that was supposedly out of stock. The whole experience was just ridiculous and unacceptable. Do better, Target. Please teach your employees the value of going above and beyond for customers. This was just lazy. The product was right there, but turned sideways in the case. I could see from the side that it was the color I wanted. They obviously did not feel like waiting for someone to come back and unlock the case, so they just canceled my order even though I was already there.
Would recommend!

I had mines now for a few months. I came from having the beats solo 3. I absolutely love these ear buds. I have no issues when connecting to my kindle or phone. There has been no issue when I use it to talk on the phone. I also only charge my buds maybe 3 times a month and I use it daily. I would highly recommended!

Bought and in less than a week they were giving static. Went back to target and they said they can’t give an exchange because I didn’t have the box. Guess they won $ and I lost, after being told they would exchange it

The battery did not last more than an hour and I could not return it because you weren’t allowed to after a week. Sound quality was terrible as well. And they slide out of your ears. Would not recommend.
