The see-through Beats Studio Buds Plus have dropped to their best of the year

Here at The Verge, we’re big fans of the translucent Beats Studio Buds Plus, which are more eye-catching than most wireless earbuds — including Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro. They offer significant improvements over their predecessor, too, making them a worthy upgrade. Not only do they sound better and offer more effective active noise cancellation, but they also last longer. They don’t tune out noise quite as well as the latest AirPods Pro and their transparency mode doesn’t sound as natural, but they offer native support for both iOS and Android features, making them a good buy for those who want more flexibility in terms of ecosystem.
