It’s been two years since Apple and Beats released the Beats Studio Buds, a pair of tiny earbuds that looked and sounded pretty good for around $150. Now, as everything becomes more expensive, so too have the Beats Studio Buds, with a new version named the Beats Studio Buds Plus hitting shelves. Imaginative name aside, Apple tells us that they’re a significant improvement over the previous pair – and you’d hope so, for $20 more.
But with a notable price bump, just how much better than the old buds are the new Beats Studio Buds Plus, and how do they stand on their own in a market that is now absolutely loaded with competition – not least from Apple and Beats themselves?
