Beats 360 Review: Customizable, Stylish, and Fun
Beats’ new flagship headphones are customizable, stylish, fun, and great for working out. But there are stronger options for everyday use.
The Beats 360 headphones initially failed to impress the reporter, who viewed them as over-ear workout headphones. However, after realizing their potential for gym use, the reporter found them to be stellar. Despite being heavier than earbuds, the Beats 360 offer a secure fit, IPX4-rated water resistance, and swappable cushioning, making them a great choice for customizing over-ear workout headphones.
The headphones have a slim, smooth design with a soft-touch finish and an adjustable headband, making them appealing and comfortable for workouts. The main feature is the swappable headband and ear cups, which come in two fabric options: Performance Knit and UltraPlush, catering to both working out and everyday listening. The Beats 360 may not excel in high-resolution audio but are a joy to use and have strong noise cancellation and transparency features.
While the sound quality is not as impressive as higher-end models, the Beats 360 are a solid choice for gym use at a price lower than Apple AirPods Max, making them a good alternative for Apple users.
