#117 Beats Studio3 Wireless: $286.49 Discontinued Amazon eBay

Pros: It combines Bluetooth with SBC and AAC, active noise cancelling and a built-in microphone, with about 22 hours of battery life with ANC on and up to 40 hours without. A 260 g weight and a wired option make it flexible for commuting. Bass between 60 and 200 Hz is about 3 dB above target, which gives a warm, punchy sound for pop and hip hop.

Cons: The low mids run about 3.6 dB over target, which thickens male vocals and can make the sound muddy, while presence from 3 to 6 kHz is about 3 dB low and a dip of about 8 dB near 4.8 kHz softens detail. A peak of nearly 7 dB near 11.9 kHz adds a sharp edge to the top end. The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 has an equal rating at a lower price. Discontinued.
