It may be less than a week till Apple unveils the iPhone 8, its most highly anticipated gadget of the year. But before that happens, the tech giant is giving its latest Beats by Dr. Dre headphone, the Studio3 Wireless, a rare opportunity to bask in the limelight.
And you guessed it. These iconic cans are now better than ever, boasting powerful new features that’ll please even the fussiest of audiophiles.
For that, you can thank a feature called Pure Adaptive Noise Canceling (let’s call it Pure ANC for short). Basically, Pure ANC uses complex algorithms to continuously listen to your environment, blocking out annoying ambient noise like conversations or a train’s movement, so you get to be stuck in your own little musical world of bliss.
It’s not a new tech by any means, but the game-changer here is that the Studio3 Wireless’s Pure ANC is extremely comprehensive. It adjusts for musical leakage caused by different ear shapes, the movement of your head, and even glasses or hair. It also re-calibrates wherever you go, so whether you’re in an airplane or café, noise canceling is at an optimal level.
Now if you thought that was impressive, we’d like you to know that the Studio3 Wireless is also Apple’s most powerful Beats by Dr. Dre headphone ever. Courtesy of a formidable W1 chip, the Studio 3 Wireless has a total of 22 hours of playback time with Pure ANC switched on. Turn that off, and you’ve got an amazing 40 hours of non-stop listening time.
Run out of juice? No problem. 10 minutes of fast charging gives you three hours of playback. Not so convinced by a wireless headphone? Well, the Studio3 Wireless might change your mind as it has incredible Bluetooth connectivity, especially if you own an iOS device (don’t worry Android users, it’ll work great for you too).
Last but not least, the Studio3 Wireless retains the same spiffy design that made it popular in the first place. If you want to cop it, it’ll be on sale from today (September 6) onwards via www.apple.com/sg for the price of $478. Right now, the Studio 3 Wireless is available in Matte Black, White, Blue, and Red, as well as special edition colours Shadow Grey and Porcelain Rose.
