One-touch pairing - easy, one-touch setup instantly pairs with every device in your iCloud account 5 But there are a few niggling issues. Noise cancellation is akin to the AirPods Pro, but they’re not quite as powerful as other earbuds from Bose and Sony. And although the wing tips hold them in place, during our testing we found they also add extra pressure to the outer ears. It's also worth mentioning that Android users won’t quite get the full experience (i.e. spatial audio and hands-free voice assistance) that iOS users get. Fast Pair requires a compatible Android device running Android 8.0 or later, with Google Play Services enabled.

However, there were some criteria that we wanted to see from all of the headphones, including a comfortable and solid design, quality audio and good value for money. an iCloud account and a compatible Apple device running the latest operating system software or a compatible Android device running Android 8.0 or later, with Google Play Services enabled. footnote11Fast Pair requires location enabled. Full access to features requires an Android 6.0 or newer device with Google Play Service enabled and Google Account. No, we’re not looking at a rival to the likes of the Sony MDR-1000X or Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless, but there’s a pleasing level of crispness to the Beats EP’s sound. There’s no digital clipping when the volume’s cranked and there’s a better balance to the output than you might have expected.

Highly-Rated Over-Ear Headphones

Think of the Beats Fit Pro as the Apple AirPods Prowith a few modifications and at a lower price. They have a robust feature set that includes active noise cancellation, spatial audio support and hands-free Siri on iOS, as well as a prominent wing tip, which helps to hold them in your ears when you’re working out.

Both the Beats Solo 3 and Beats Solo Pro are over-ear headphones that offer hours and hours of listening time. They look similar too, with a sleek band and the Beats signature B on the cups. However, there are some key differences. For example, the Beats Solo 3 don't have active noise cancellation. Of course, this makes them considerably more affordable than the Solo Pro, but does mean you won't get the best audio experience. Are Beats headphones worth it? Press and hold feature customisation requires an iPhone running iOS 14.6 or later, or an Android device with the latest version of the Beats app installed.

The battery has massively improved since previous models as well, which means you can enjoy music for up to 22 hours, or 40 with the active noise cancellation turned off – you get a similar experience with the Beats Solo Pro. These are the Beats headphones for the everyman. A more balanced, well rounded sound will appeal to the masses, while touches of the classic Beats look will appease those who demand their headphones are as much of a fashion accessory as they are audio enablers. Some of the most notable features of the Flex include the Apple W1 Wireless Chip; a built-in sensor for auto-play/pause; a 12-hour battery life with Fast Fuel, and, our personal favorite, a laser cut micro-venting chamber to reduce in-ear pressure. Fast Pair requires location enabled. Full access to features requires an Android 6.0 or newer device with Google Play Service enabled and Google Account.

Switch feature requires compatible Android devices running Android 8.0 or later, with Google Play Services enabled.

This guide is a little different as we've included all of the latest Beats headphones you can buy and then ranked them based on which we think are the best and likely to appeal to the widest range of people. They have slightly better battery life and a smaller carrying case than the older Powerbeats Pro and deliver better results than the similar-looking Beats Studio Buds, which makes them well worth an upgrade.
