I've spent weeks with the Beats 360 — the design and sound both won me over
The Studio Pro aren't going anywhere, but the new Beats 360 are something different entirely.Beats calls them "the next chapter" of its headphones story — and after spending the past few weeks with the 360, that confidence doesn't feel misplaced. Beats set out to build much more streamlined headphones that are designed to move with you throughout the day, and feel at home everywhere from the gym to the office to an airplane.And the first thing you notice is just how light they are. Compared to the AirPods Max at about 386.2 grams or Sony's WH-1000XM6 at 254 grams, these fall somewhere in the middle, but they actually feel far more streamlined than the number suggests.The profile itself is remarkably thin, too.
