About the Beats Studio3 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

The Beats Studio3 Wireless are over-ear headphones with Pure Active Noise Cancellation (Pure ANC), which actively blocks out external noise. Real-time audio calibration preserves the listening experience. Soft over-ear cushions add comfort and noise isolation.

Apple's W1 processor provides Class 1 Bluetooth connectivity and helps the battery last longer. Battery life is up to 22 hours with Pure ANC on, and up to 40 hours with Pure ANC off, which switches the headphones to low-power mode. With Fast Fuel, a ten-minute charge gives three hours of use when the battery is low.

The on-ear multifunction controls let you take calls, control music and activate Siri. The headphones also play audio over a wire using the RemoteTalk cable, which has built-in controls. They fold for storage.
