As someone who relies on either public transportation, or his own two legs to get back and forth, it goes without saying that my iPhone is essential when it comes to my daily commute. I’ve never really been a person who has been a huge fan of earbuds. I’ve always preferred headphones that go over my ears, instead of on top of them, or in them. I tried the first version of the Beats Studios, because of the Adaptive Noise Canceling feature, but I didn’t end up keeping them because they needed AAA batteries to function. Not only that, but the headphones themselves needed them to even turn on. Needless to say I did not keep them.
However, once the Studio 2.0 came out, I decided to give them another try. There were a number of changes that were made to the Studio 2.0 that really sealed the deal for me. First was the style: they are really sleek and very light. The cups of the headphones are very comfortable too, perfect for when you need to wear the headphones for an extended period of time. The first version of the studios were not very pleasant to look at, and to me, they felt a little weighty. But that’s changed completely with the 2.0. Secondly, there is a rechargeable battery built into the headphones, so wave goodbye to having to replace the batteries every 10 hours or so. The battery inside the Studio 2.0 headphones lasts about 20 hours, and with a battery gauge on the side, you’ll always know when you are due for a recharge. It is easy to be intimidated by the Beats brand, given the name, and all the hype that surrounds it. However, we have demo kiosks at all of our Small Dog retail locations, so come on in and check them out. I think you’ll be impressed by what you hear!
