Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On July 19, Beats launched a new Beats Studio Pro wireless headset that locates at the flagship level. This is Beats's first wireless headset since the Beats Studio3 Wireless in 2019.

At present, CTOnews.com has got this navy blue color matching Beats Studio Pro, what is its experience, now let's experience it with the editor.

First, the design as a positioning flagship headphones, Beats Studio Pro packaging is very bright, gray PVC cardboard box looks like an industrial style, the overall shape of the box is similar to the toolbox. The surface of the box is wrapped in a circle of translucent plastic paper printed with product information words and patterns, which looks like a rugged atmosphere.

After opening the package, the headphones and accessories are placed in a black woven storage bag, the overall quality of which is relatively fine.

However, the zipper of this storage bag is only half open, so it is a little inconvenient to use at ordinary times, especially when picking up and putting the data cable and the 3.5mm connection cable.

If you look at the headphone body, navy blue is a dark blue, visually low-key and eye-resistant. But the head pad on the inside of the top is a slightly brighter cobalt blue, so that the whole will not look monotonous.

There is a silver Beats Logo on the outside of the left and right cavities of the headphones, where the Logo on the right integrates the control button, and below is the 3.5mm cable playback interface.

There is a power interface and indicator light on the left cavity, as well as a USB Type-C port.

The Beats Studio Pro ear cushion is made of soft memory foam, with a circle of fine leather on the surface and a finely woven soft cotton on the inside.

This headset can also adjust the size of the head, and the adjustment buckles on both sides are made of brushed metal, so that the overall quality of the headphones can be climbed to another high-rise building.

The weight of this Beats Studio Pro headset is 260g, which is undoubtedly much lighter than the AirPods Max and will not feel heavy to wear. Plus the foam of the earmuffs is really soft, and the comfort is guaranteed.

In terms of accessories, Beats Studio Pro comes with a 3.5mm headphone cable, a double USB Type-C charging cord, an one-month Apple Music free experience card, as well as brand stickers, description cards and so on.

Generally speaking, Beats Studio Pro has the same design as the previous Beats headphones, maintaining a relatively unified design language, minimalist and compact, and exquisite workmanship, which is the level Apple should have.

2. Sound quality listening experience 1. Basic sound quality experience Beats Studio Pro uses a fully customized 40mm active drive unit in the acoustic configuration, and the diaphragm adopts a double-layer design. At the same time, the drive unit also uses an accurate micro-ventilation array and fine acoustic mesh, which can optimize the air flow and effectively reduce distortion.

Combined with advanced digital processing, the acoustic architecture provides tone-balanced audio with a total harmonic distortion of less than 0.02%, even at high volume.

When experiencing the sound quality performance of Beats Studio Pro, CTOnews.com first turns off the space audio function to feel the original sound quality effect of headphones.

First of all, I listened to the classic "Ferry". The most direct feeling of Beats Studio Pro is that the sound is very clear, the beginning of the drumbeat, then the guitar, the human voice, each track is distinct, including the crisp small drum in the drum seems to be in the ear, the thick drum seems to come from afar, and the guitar sound is also in the ear, the whole sound is full without losing details.

In addition, Beats Studio Pro restores teacher Cai Qin's middle and high notes clearly and sweetly, which sounds very delicate.

Then there is the live version of Hotel California. Beats Studio Pro's interpretation of the song is also satisfactory. From the beginning of the cheers and applause of the crowd, it showed a good sense of space, the sound field was wide, and then the guitar slowly sounded, and then the guitar was gradually accompanied by the crowd cheers, especially when the drums and sand hammers gradually entered, the rustling sound of the sand hammer felt very close to the ear, while the drums were distributed directly in front and on the left and right sides respectively. When you touch me rhythmically, you do have a feeling of being there.

Then CTOnews.com auditioned Meav's "One I Love". This song mainly listens to the details of the human voice, and Beats Studio Pro's performance is also very good. The details of the female voice blowing through the microphone, and even the small details of swallowing saliva during the breath can be heard clearly, so it can be seen that the voice resolution of Beats Studio Pro is really strong.

The pitch of some of the melodies in this song is still relatively high, and the presentation of the treble by Beats Studio Pro will not make people feel harsh, on the contrary, similar to the front "Ferry", it is more round and sweet.

2. Compared with Beats Studio3,Beats Studio Pro four years ago, personalized spatial audio is the largest and most natural upgrade, which naturally adds full support for spatial audio and can play tracks rendered with Dolby panoramic sound (Dolby Atmos), thus bringing an immersive 360-degree surround sound experience.

The headset has a built-in IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which consists of gyroscopes and acceleration sensors for dynamic head tracking on Apple's platform. With the blessing of these sensors, the headphones can be adjusted in time with the rotation of the head, repositioning the sound of the device, creating a sense of hearing surrounded by 64 speakers.

At the same time, Beats Studio Pro also supports personalized spatial audio, allowing you to scan your ears with iPhone, create unique spatial audio personal profile information that is only suitable for you, and enhance the listening experience for the anatomical structure of your ear.

During the actual experience, CTOnews.com turned on the space audio head tracking function, and then listened to a Mile Davis Freddie Freeloader in the Apple Music space audio area, which is a piece of jazz, in which piano, saxophone, jazz drum, bass and other instruments have their own positions, and clear and clear, relatively easy to experience the sense of space.

When using Beats Studio Pro to listen, when the head is facing forward, you can clearly feel that the soft jazz drum is far in front of you, the saxophone is closer in front of you, the piano is on the left front, and the feeling of space is very obvious, but when the head turns to the left, you will feel that the instruments are still in the same position, and the sound is coming from the right ear. When your head turns to the right, you will feel that the sound is coming from the left ear, which is consistent with the feeling of listening to the scene, which is naturally the magic of spatial audio.

Of course, you can also choose the "fixed" mode of spatial audio, in which the sense of direction of the sound will not change according to the rotation of the head, creating a three-dimensional audio space that is always fixed. Or listen to Mile Davis's "Freddie Freeloader", the most obvious is the sound of the jazz drum, when you turn off the space audio, you will feel that the sound of the jazz drum is coming from the left and right headphones, but when you turn on the "fixed" space audio, you will immediately feel that the jazz drum is directly in front of you, this is the correct position, this kind of listening feeling difference is very obvious.

In addition to listening to music, you can also watch movies using Beats Studio Pro space audio. Taking Tencent Video watching "evil prevails over evil" as an example, after turning on the "Dolby panoramic sound" function in the video, first of all, the sound has a strong sense of space. take the first part of the movie when the main actor returned to Beijing as an example, the roar of the train, the voice can clearly distinguish the direction of speaking, and driving a car in the city, the direction of the car can also be sensed by the sound. Then there is the sound of the old Beijing rickshaw "Tinker Bell", the sound of selling, and so on, the sound field is very open, and the spacious streets of the capital set off each other.

If you turn on the function of head tracking, then when your head rotates, the sound source of the movie will also change, which will make you feel that the characters in the movie are standing in a certain direction and talking in a certain direction, and your position will change. but they're still talking in place.

And when you move the playback device, it's equivalent to a change in the position of the actor's performance, and the direction of the sound you hear in your headphones will change, and it's amazing. However, there are some delays and some imperfections in the process of change.

Third, noise reduction and other use experience this Beats Studio Pro also provides active noise reduction function, which can reduce external noise through a comprehensive solution. Its outward-facing feedforward microphone continuously measures ambient noise to create custom anti-noise filters to eliminate noise. The inward feedback microphone helps to further eliminate the noise that seeps into the earmuffs due to poor fit or earmuff seal leakage.

When in use, you can choose noise reduction or penetration mode. When the noise reduction mode is turned on, the effect is still quite obvious. during the editor's test, there is an electric fan next to the desk. After the noise reduction is turned on, the original "whoo-hoo" noisy wind can only hear the "buzzing" sound, and more than half of the noise is cut off. The sound of tapping on the mechanical keyboard while typing is also much smaller. And because it is head-worn, after noise reduction is turned on, the sense of ear hearing is much softer than that of many earphones, unlike many headphones that plug the ear after noise reduction is turned on.

After turning on the transparent mode, you can let the ambient sound participate in the mixing and return to the natural listening experience. In this way, when you walk on the road and listen to music, and at the same time want to pay attention to the surrounding environment, in order to ensure your own safety, you can turn on the transparent mode.

However, at present, Beats Studio Pro does not support iOS17's adaptive noise reduction mode. I don't know whether Beats will support it through OTA upgrade in the future. You can look forward to a wave.

When it comes to noise reduction, there is another point that can not be ignored, that is, call noise reduction. Beats Studio Pro uses a new generation of beamforming MEMS microphones with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and fine-tuned machine learning algorithms. The software solution has been trained in a real-world environment for more than 7000 hours to help reliably capture voice in a variety of situations.

During the test, the editor Beats Studio Pro talked to a friend, simulated some white noise (full) in the busy streets around him, and then recorded the conversation he heard:

It can be heard that Beats Studio Pro reduces the noise of the surrounding crowd to a very low level, which can only be heard vaguely, and the shrill sirens of cars are suppressed a lot, and the effect of noise reduction is still very good.

In other uses, Beats Studio Pro is equipped with USB-C audio for the first time to support uplink and downlink connections. This allows you to listen to or answer the phone while the headset is charging, because many headphones cannot be used during charging, and Beats Studio Pro is not affected by this.

Connect the Beats Studio Pro to the iPad through the USB-C cable, turn off the Bluetooth connection, and the Beats Studio Pro can also be used as a wired headset. Thanks to high-quality DAC, Beats Studio Pro can also play high-resolution and lossless audio formats at the sampling rate of 24bit / 48 kHz, and the sound quality is also guaranteed. However, active noise reduction and penetration mode cannot be used at this time.

However, the Beats Studio Pro is equipped with 3.5mm input and cable. Active noise reduction and penetration modes can be used when connecting through a 3.5mm Jack.

In addition, in terms of battery life, the Beats Studio Pro can achieve a total battery life of about 40 hours. According to the editor's experience in daily use, in the case of medium and high intensity use, occasionally turn on active noise reduction or penetration mode, which can be filled in about 5 days.

And Beats Studio Pro also supports Fast Fuel flash charging technology, which can be used for about 4 hours after 10 minutes of charging. In short, Beats Studio Pro doesn't have to worry about charging and battery life.

Also, this time Beats Studio Pro is more compatible with Android devices. Through "Beats" App, headphones can be quickly paired with phones, active noise reduction modes can be quickly switched in App, and functions such as positioning Beats headphones are available, but space audio is not available.

Conclusion: also as headphones, if AirPds Max is a complete "Apple Ecology" product, Beats Studio Pro will undoubtedly be more open on this basis. When you use it, you can clearly feel that it is aimed at a wider range of consumers, such as Beats Studio Pro's better support for Android can be reflected, and does not use Apple's own chip, but Beats's own custom chip platform. Therefore, even if you are not an Apple eco-user, you can make Beats Studio Pro one of the important options for your headset choice.

Back to the Beats Studio Pro product itself, this is a more balanced high-end headset in sound quality, experience and other aspects. For regular Beats Studio3 users, the addition of further sound quality and spatial audio is obviously very attractive, as well as the advantages of long range and light weight. If you have been looking forward to Beats's new headset, then this one will not let you down.
