It works well but collects a lot of dust without frequent cleaning. They kind of float on a red silicone membrane that contrasts well to the black body and allows the earcups to adjust to pretty much any head shape. While the external panels are all super gloss, the internally facing panels haveВ a soft-touch finish.В The earcups have a really strange angling mechanism that`s both an aesthetic highlight and a functional addition, pretty innovative. The earcups are quite interesting particular, well finished with varying textures for an intriguingВ feel. The ANC does a good job blocking low frequencies but that`s it, so isolation on a whole is pretty good, better than most sealed headphones in fact, but most similarly priced ANC headphones will block more noise. A common comparison, the Bose QC25`s will block a LOT more noise, but the Studio 2.0`s have similar levels of passive isolation to something like the Oppo PM3`s with a little ANC on top. At first I thought mine were fake because the ANC was barely working but I can sense a slight pressure from the circuits and I`ve tested that both the internal and external microphones are working, it`s just not overly effective. This is pertinentВ because the active noise cancellation is pretty mediocre. I alsoВ noticed that the clamp force is quite high which, in addition to the great seal produced by the over-ear memory foam pads, results in great passive noise isolation. This box contains a hard case (containing the headphones) in a molded inlet and underneath that, a box containing the remote, audio and power cables in addition to a 1A wall charger. Sliding off the cover reveals a bright red, two piece box with the Beats branding. The front showcases theВ headphones surrounded by the usual black aether whilst the rear displays some of the accessories and basic marketing. The box is huge, its outer cover heavy in highВ contrast images for impact. The un-boxing experience of any Beats product is akin to opening a chest in an old Zelda game, so extravagant you can almost perceive aВ golden aura.ДЄs mentioned by consumers and reviewers alike, theВ packaging is very masterful. I`ve beenВ slowly restoring them to a listenable state over the past month and am ready to give my unbiased opinion upon the widely renowned Beats Studio 2.0`s. The unit I`m reviewing wasВ actuallyВ broken and,В as a result, I receivedВ them for a fantastic price (also verified authentic). But when the 2013 model was released, I took a liking to the much sleeker design and many reviewers similarly praisedВ it`s more balanced sound. I despised the first generation model, the sound was mediocre at best and the design wasn`t anything particularly sophisticated. I`ve actually wanted to have a look at the Studio 2.0`s for a while. And that`s no surprise really, they embody everything audiophiles scorn in general marketed through celebrities, popular with kids, have a poor price/performance ratio and worst of all, have gained mass popularity and recognition. Introduction вЂ“ It`s no secret that Beats have probably the poorest reputation of any piece of audio equipment.
