Whilst the design largely resembles the Studio 2, Apple says the internals have been reworked and the ear cushions are more comfortable than ever before, designed for all-day use. The basic premise is the same: they are over-ear versions of the Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones. In general, the new Studio 3 look much like the previous generation. With noise canceling enabled, battery life drops to a (still impressive) 22 hours.
The headphones listen dynamically to the surrounding environment and algorithmically adjust the intensity of noise cancellation.
The other flagship new addition for the Studio 3 series is adaptive noise cancelling. These look very much like Beats’ answer to the Bose QC35 headphones. The new models utilize the W1 chip for automatic pairing to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch as well as boasting up to 40 hour battery life.
Apple has added a new addition to its W1 lineup, the Beats Studio 3 over-ear headphones ($349).
