The price hasn't changed, and neither has the high-gloss finish - a problematic combination if you pick up a black pair which are finger-print magnets. As for color options, you can grab a white, red or black colored Studio 2 for you guessed it, $300. It doesn't get any more mainstream than this. So yes, the new Beats Studio are magnificently designed, and everything about them including the accessories has been designed to be as sleek as possible. The new Studio 2 headphones are lighter, more comfortable and more durable than the previous model, but that's not all that's significantly different as you shall see later on.Īt first glance, the Studio 2 have almost a one-piece design that conceals all moving parts, screws and joints, yet they still fold and have articulating ear cups. When Beats said it redesigned the new Studio 2 to be more streamlined, they weren't messing around. You could call it a curvier design because that's exactly what the difference is between the older Beats headphones visually which look outdated by comparison.
Apart from the distinct Beats logo on each side, the new Studio 2 share a similar design language with their predecessor that's now sleeker and more streamlined (apparently more aerodynamic as well?) as you'd expect out of an updated model.
