What owners single out
Fit instability during exercise and sweating is the weakest aspect for buyers, directly matching video reviewers' concerns about the earbuds falling out during movement.
In their words
“Let me start by saying these are extremely comfortable and fit well. I find it difficult to find ear buds Im not constantly readjusting to fit well in my ear. The sound quality is 5/5. It’s more balanced than you would expect for beats since they are known for their heavy bass. Don’t get me wrong though the bass is still there!”

“My Beats Studio buds may be the worst pair of headphones I’ve ever purchased. They are retailed at $150, but I got them on sale for $100 and at that price, you’d expect some decent quality, but no, these are far from it. When I first got them, they would chop out constantly almost every time I tried to listen to music.”
