We’ve currently tested 18 pairs of Beats headphones. They’re a popular brand that makes stylish and comfortable headphones. The brand was acquired by Apple in 2014, which means that some models come with features meant for users of the Apple ecosystem. Also, while they used to be known for their excessively bass-heavy sound signature, some newer models sound more well-balanced. We’ve recently purchased a new pair of Beats earbuds, the Beats Studio Buds+ True Wireless, and will update this article once they’ve been tested.

The best Beats headphones we’ve tested are the Beats Studio3 Wireless. While these over-ears are older and more dated, their flashy and colorful design helps them stand out.
Like other products from Beats, they have a W1 chip, so you can seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They also have a noise cancelling (ANC) system that does a decent job of blocking background noise. Although they struggle to reduce the low rumble of bus and plane engines, they do better at reducing ambient chatter at the office. With their ANC on, they last 23 hours continuously too, which will be more than enough for long days on the go.They’ve got extra punch and boom from these headphones, making them a solid choice for genres like pop. Unfortunately, the extra bass muddies vocals and instruments while sibilants like cymbals are dark. Their sound delivery is dependent on the headphones’ fit, positioning, and seal, so it’s important to take the time to ensure a proper fit to achieve a more consistent sound.

The best Beats earbuds we’ve tested are the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless. These earbuds are a sportier sibling of the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless, but even if you’re not looking for sports earbuds, they offer a few extra features that make them versatile for everyday use.
They have an h2 chip, so you can easily pair them with iPhones and MacBooks, and they have Apple’s virtual surround sound feature Spatial Audio (although it only works with iOS devices). Their ANC system also offers better overall performance than the Beats Studio3 Wireless, helping to reduce a wide range of noise, including the low rumble of bus and plane engines.They have a slightly V-shaped sound profile out of the box, so audio has a little extra rumble and punch. Vocals and lead instruments are present and bright but can sound a bit harsh. Unfortunately, they don’t have sound customization features, but overall their sound is well-balanced enough for various genres. They have a fairly comfortable fit, but the buds have a bulky design that might bother people with smaller ears.

If you’re looking for earbuds to use during workouts, the Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless are the best option we’ve tested from Beats.
Instead of stability fins like the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless, they have malleable hooks that wrap around your ears for added stability when on the move. This design is more comfortable for most people and helps ensure your earbuds don’t fall out of your ears during intense workouts. They’re also rated IPX4 for water resistance, have roughly 11 hours of continuous battery life, and come with an Η1 chip for seamless pairing with Apple devices.Compared to some other older Beats headphones, they have a more neutral sound profile, which you might like if you’re not a fan of a bass-heavy sound or listen to a lot of podcasts or audiobooks while you’re exercising. Unfortunately, they don’t have sound customization options, and the companion interface is very limited. They won’t isolate you from much ambient sound, so they aren’t ideal if you want to escape distracting noise at the gym. However, you might not mind their low level of noise isolation if you’re running outdoors, as you can more easily monitor your environment.

If you’re shopping for a pair of budget headphones, the best option from Beats are the Beats Flex Wireless.
These lightweight earbuds come in a few bright colors and have a flexible neck cable. They’re comfortable, well-built, and will stay in your ears if you use them for workouts. They last about 11 hours of continuous use, so they can get you through your daily commute and workday without recharging. Apple users can appreciate their W1 chip, making it simpler to pair them with iOS devices like iPhones.Like many of this manufacturer’s products, they provide a bass-rich listening experience, with extra rumble and punch that works well for genres like EDM and hip-hop. Unlike some budget headphones, they have a companion app. However, it only lets you toggle auto-pause and auto-call answering on and off. It doesn’t include an EQ or presets for sound customization. Their mic has a passable recording quality but can’t separate your voice from loud ambient sounds, so they aren’t suitable for making calls from a busy street or bus. That said, if you want simple headphones, they have a solid performance for daily music and podcast listening.

Compared to other brands
-
Comfortable designs.
Most Beats headphones are comfortable and suitable for use over long periods. While their over-ear designs are the most comfortable, their on-ear and in-ear headphones tend to be more comfortable than similarly designed models. -
Decently well-balanced sound.
While older Beats headphones tend to have a bass-heavy sound that lacks detail, recent models are better balanced. However, they still deliver the rumbly and punchy bass that fans have come to expect. -
Stylish and sturdy designs.
Beats tend to shine compared to other headphone brands in their design. They have sleek, premium-looking headphones that stand out with bold color schemes. While they may not all feel as durable as other brands, their more recent models have a sturdy build quality that further emphasizes their premium price range.
While they may not all feel as durable as other brands, their more recent models have a sturdy build quality that further emphasizes their premium price range.
-
Expensive.
Beats headphones tend to be rather pricey, especially compared to other brands. The quality of the more recent models we’ve tested better matches their premium price point. However, they still feel a bit expensive for what they offer. -
Noise cancelling not on par with the competition.
Beats have a couple of models with active noise cancelling. Though some newer ones perform well, they’re still not on par with similarly priced from Sony or Bose. Check out our article on the best noise cancelling headphones for more info. -
No customization options.
Most Beats have an extremely limited interface for Android and iOS that doesn’t offer customization features.
Beats vs Apple
Since Apple owns Beats, some of their headphones have the same features for iOS users, like h2 chips and Spatial Audio. The brands still have distinct styles and product lines, but both make sturdy, well-built headphones. Apple noise cancelling headphones tend to have an edge over Beats’, making it the better brand if noise cancellation is important. However, Beats has a wider range of styles and prices, like sports earbuds and budget options. If you want to check out Apple’s lineup, check out our best Apple headphones article.
Beats vs Sony
Sony makes a wider variety of headphones than Beats, including gaming headsets. Their headphones are more likely to have very strong noise cancelling, especially over-ear models, and many have companion apps that include sound customization features.
That said, Apple users might prefer Beats’ iOS-specific features. Beats headphones are consistently well-built, while some Sony models can have a plasticky, cheaper-feeling build. Still, if you’re looking for more options, check out our recommendations for the best Sony headphones.
Overall, Beats make sleek and modern-looking headphones that feel like fashion accessories. Although older models have a mediocre-at-best sound quality, more recent releases have a balanced sound that doesn’t completely sacrifice bass. However, their headphones are expensive for what they offer, especially since the more feature-packed models aren’t on par with their competitors.
Lineup
Beats have a slightly unorthodox naming convention for their headphones, but they offer various models for different uses. Their product names can give you an idea of the style and features of a certain pair of headphones.
- Solo = On-ear headphones.
- Studio = Includes over-ear and earbud models with ANC.
- Powerbeats = In-ears with ear hooks that are designed for sports use.
- Fit = earbuds with a more conventional design (without earhooks) meant for sports.
- Flex = Wireless earbuds with a neck cable design.
- urBeats = A discontinued line of wired earbuds.

Conclusion
Beats have made great improvements to their lineup. They’re still a fashion-forward brand that focuses on bold color schemes and sleek modern designs, but their recent models sound much better balanced than what they’ve put out in the past. Their products are still a bit pricey for what they offer, especially their noise cancelling headphones, which don’t deliver the same level of noise isolation that models from competing brands provide.

The Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless are stable headphones great for the gym but disappoint with their sound quality.
They’re comfortable and are easy to carry around. Unfortunately, they have a skewed audio reproduction and don’t block noise well, which is not ideal for loud environments.
Our Verdict
6.6
Mixed Usage
The Powerbeats 2 Wireless are decent mixed usage headphones. They’re more geared towards sports with a good, compact and stable design but struggle under other test cases due to poor isolation and sound quality.
Cons
-
Poor noise isolation.
-
Uneven bass-heavy sound.
6.1
Critical Listening
Not made for critical listening.
They have a poor unbalanced audio reproduction and an in-ear design that limits soundstage.
See our Critical Listening Recommendations
6.2
Commute/Travel
Below-average for commuting. They poorly isolate listeners from ambient noise because of their partially open fit. They won’t fare well in loud environments
See our Commute/Travel Recommendations
7.5
Sports/Fitness
The Powerbeats 2 are good sports headphones. They have an incredibly stable hook design. They’re also wireless and compact enough to carry on your person everywhere you go. Also, their in-ear fit allows you t o monitor your surroundings while running.

The Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless are a good upgrade over the previous Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless model. While the design is fairly the same, a few performance adjustments were done. The in-line remote now offers decent feedback and buttons are now easy to push. They also have a more neutral-sounding sound with a small bass overemphasis, instead of having a really boomy and cluttered sound profile.
The Powerbeats3 also have more than double the Powerbeats 2’s battery life, and take less time to charge fully.

The Powerbeats 2 Wireless are well crafted in-ear headphones. They have a stylized in-ear bud design with flexible ear hooks that fit around the ears. They come in a variety of two-tone color schemes that are eye-catching and sporty-looking. However, the tips are a little larger than typical in-ears.

The Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless are surprisingly comfortable for an in-ear design.
The in-ear tips rest on the edge of the ear canal, reminiscent of an earbud, and do not exert any painful pressure. They would be a good alternative for those who find typical in-ear wireless models uncomfortable. They also come with a variety of tips to help listeners find a better fit.

These headphones have a decent control scheme. They provide call/music, track skipping and volume controls. Unfortunately, the buttons feel shallow and do not provide a good tactile feedback.
These headphones feel remarkably stable. The relatively thick ear hooks add a high amount of stability that some other in-ear headphones don’t provide. They will stay in place even during high-intensity exercises at the gym.
Their wireless design also makes them less likely to be yanked out of your ears because the audio cable got hooked on something.

Comes with a stylish soft case that will protect the headphones from minor falls and water damage. However, the case is not robust enough for high physical stress, like accidently stepping on it.
The build quality of these headphones is above-average.
The in-ear buds are lightweight and dense enough, to not get damaged by a few falls. The ear hooks are made of a rubber-like material that’s flexible and won’t break easily from regular use. However, the cable that links the two earbuds is susceptible to wear and tear and the inline control module feels cheaply made and not durable.

Poor Isolation. Although in-ears usually provide very good Treble isolation, the amount of Treble isolation provided by the Powerbeats is below average. This is due to their loose seal. Additionally, they fail to achieve more than 7dB of isolation in the Mid Range, and provide none in the Bass Range.

The Powerbeats have a decent wireless range. They’re quite far reaching for an in-ear model and won’t drop the wireless connection up to 30+ ft when the Bluetooth source is another room. As long as they are not too many walls between the headphones and the source. Their range in direct line of sight, however, is not the best so if your often outdoors or on an open field running laps the audio might cut out a lot sooner than the Soundsport Wireless. Unfortunately pairing them to your Bluetooth device is a bit tedious, and they don’t offer NFC.
On the upside, the auditory chimes provide a decent feedback when pairing.

However, they won’t be the ideal headphones to take on a long road trip or a particularly lengthy flight. They also don’t have any battery saving features, like an auto-off timer, so they will quickly run out of power if you forget to turn them off.

rating of professional sets of strong bits
Author: Lev Barsukov Updated: December 16, 2022
The most fragile part of a screwdriver is a bit. This is a nozzle-tip that twists self-tapping screws and screws. Although it is made of steel, it is easily grinded under heavy loads. Its durability depends on the quality of the material, processing method, hardness and design features. If you don’t want to change the equipment already on 5 self-tapping screws, then the rating of strong bits for a 2023 screwdriver is presented for you.

2 Bit and socket set JONNESWAY S04H52494S (94 pcs) Best bits for screwdriver
Gross Ph3x25 with limiter and magnet for GKL
Gross Ph3x25 single-sided bit is suitable for work that is not related to metal. Otherwise, the magnet is superfluous. It will attract metal chips that are formed in the process. Otherwise, it is a handy bit with a strong magnet that holds self-tapping screws well.
GRAFF Ph3x50 mm with magnetic head
This one-sided PH2 cross bit is 50 mm long. It fixes screws well with a magnet. But the plastic ring that holds it is unreliable – it quickly bursts or moves out.
ZUBR 26011-2-100-1
Domestic-made single-sided bit ZUBR 26011-2-100-1 has a length of 100 mm. It is suitable for mounting and dismounting fasteners with slot type PH2.
The tip is magnetized, easily holds screws. True, this magnetization gradually weakens and disappears after a year of constant operation.
Kraftool EXPERT 26128-2-50-1
One-sided bit for Kraftool EXPERT 26128-2-50-1 screwdriver is suitable for use at home, in the country and in the garage. It keeps the screws on the tip perfectly thanks to the magnet. It may not cope with the work on drywall, despite the limiter, and push fasteners very deeply.
STAYER socket 8 mm 26390-08
The STAYER socket 8 mm bit 26390-08 is useful for threaded connections. It is made of durable chrome-plated steel, so it can withstand heavy loads. The only negative that can interfere is a weak magnet.
Best Screwdriver Bit Sets
BOSCH Bit Set 2.607.017.164 (43 pcs)
Opens our ranking of the best handheld screwdriver bit sets from BOSCH. It contains as many as 43 objects of different shapes and for different works. Everything is packed in a plastic box, the clasp of which closes easily and does not play.

The best screwdrivers of 2023 – an overall rating of high-quality and reliable models.

TOP 6 best bit sets for a screwdriver
A screwdriver is a familiar, proven and widely used tool, both by professionals and amateur craftsmen.
In some cases, it is indispensable, for example, if there are numerous unscrewing or tightening of screws, bolts, self-tapping screws. A screwdriver can quickly cope with various types of fasteners. However, its use is effective only if the bit is ideally matched to the mounting head – in shape, in size, in hardness.
The best way to solve the problem of selecting the right tooling are bit sets for screwdriver . Placement of bits in compact plastic cases – it is convenient for both storage and carrying.
In a competent set, each bit is firmly fixed in its place, the marking of which corresponds to the marking of the bit. Bits, as a rule, are laid out according to the system (by size, slot type).
We offer you a choice of the best screwdriver bit sets, which are made of reliable materials, are distinguished by a variety and a large number of bits, a rich set, durable cases and a well-thought-out lodgment.
1. Wera TOOL-CHECK PLUS (05056491001)
|
Wera TOOL-CHECK PLUS Screwdriver Bit Set rightfully tops our TOP-SIX of the best. Pros:
Cons:
|
Despite the rather high price, this set is popular among professionals. There are only 39 items in a durable and comfortable case, but the quality of their workmanship is very high, which attracts buyers. The manufacturer is the German company Wera TOOL, which in itself serves as a guarantee of quality and durability. Production material – steel with a chromium-vanadium coating. Thanks to the chromium-vanadium coating, the bits are strong, wear resistant, and therefore have a long service life. The set includes single-sided bits with different types of slots: hex, cross, flat and “asterisks”. Shank type – hex (HEX), seat – 1/4 inch, length dimensions are presented in two values - 23 and 25 mm. In addition to the bits, the package includes a branded ratchet, a holder handle, a universal holder, an adapter for a screwdriver chuck, socket heads of different sizes. 
2. Makita bit set 11 pcs. (D-30651)
|
Every craftsman knows the golden rule that Japanese instruments are of the highest quality. No wonder the best 9 beats0133 for screwdrivers is manufactured by the Japanese company Makita. This set contains only 11 nozzles, and the cost of the case is at the level of sets, where the bit is 5-7 times more. In this case, the user pays money for quality, not quantity. The basis of the set is standard single-sided bits 25 mm long, cross-shaped and star type. Pros:
Cons:
|
Nozzles are made of durable chrome-molybdenum alloy. Spraying on them counteracts possible corrosion. Such bits will look perfect for decades, they are extremely resistant to wear.
