Critics' Take
Reviewers call the Beats 360 the best over-ear headphones Beats has made, built for the gym with an IPX4 rating, swappable cushions and long battery life. Noise cancellation is good but trails Bose and Sony. Sound is bass-forward and several critics say rivals and the Studio Pro sound better, and the lack of wired listening is a common complaint.
What critics loved
- IPX4 sweat and water resistance
- Swappable, washable cushions and headbands
- About 32 hours of battery life with ANC on
- Comfortable, lightweight fit
Common gripes
- No wired or lossless listening
- Sound is bass-heavy and not for audiophiles
- No wear detection or auto-pause
- Noise cancellation trails Bose and Sony
- Extra cushion kits cost $49.99 after the intro offer
