READ NEXT: The best cheap headphones to buy Beats Studio3 Wireless review: Sound quality and noise cancellation Pure ANC (Active Noise Cancelation) is another tweaked feature of the Beats Studio 3 Wireless. The Studio series has had active noise cancellation since 2014, but this new version claims to put an extra layer of smarts between noise and your ears. As EDM and hip-hop are two of my favorite genres of music these days, it’s nice to have a pair of cans that really let you feel the bass drop.

You might think of it as a fat, warm or full tone, which is what leaves a certain bassy aftertaste even though the Beats Studio 3 Wireless are not overloaded with genuinely low frequencies. In a lot of situations this works quite well. Podcasts aren’t underpinned by a bass rumble but voices still sound robust. Studio Buds are sweat and water resistant for non-water sports and exercise.

Holly Cole's rendition of the Elvis Costello song "Alison" is also a little weighty on the low part of Cole's vocals and the reverberation heard from the piano. The Studio3 makes the low notes of the piano and the bassline more boomy than more balanced headphones would from companies like Fostex or Grado.There’s some of the same effect in the Beats Studio 3 Wireless sound. Buy them, put them on, play a tune or two and very few people are likely to be too disappointed.

However, the Bose QuietComfort 35’s cancellation is still significantly better. The Beats By Dre Studio3 uses microphones to listen to your ambient environment and then matches the frequency to cancel out the unwanted noise, leaving you and your favourite music alone. Leaks caused by movement, hair, hats or spectacles will also be detected and this is very effective indeed. The plus side is that the music is not affected in any way by the active noise cancellation. Battery life lasts for an estimated 22 hours of noise cancelling listening.

Using the Studio3s on quite a few calls during my testing, the call quality was clear on my end. When I asked other people if they could hear me, on multiple occasions they told me that the audio was clear, and they couldn't tell that I wasn't on a handset.Unless you’re desperate for headphones made of real leather, aluminum or Alcantara, it doesn’t matter too much, though. Beats has been criticized for the build of its headphones over the years, but the Beats Studio 3 Wireless seem perfectly well-built to us. Like many other headphones, the Beats Studio3 Wireless include some convenient smart features.

Additionally, I could have multiple devices paired to the headphones, though they would allow only one active connection.

A great listening experience no matter what you're listening to. There’s sound width similar to some of the best travel-friendly headphones, and the Studio 3 Wireless have quite a forward presentation. This makes key parts of a mix seem close to your ears, making sure the sound isn’t too relaxed.
