Mic Performance and Noise Cancellation
For the price, the Studio Buds provide adequate active noise reduction. They don’t use adaptive ANC like some earlier Beats devices, but instead use a fixed filter. It’s also not the same as the ANC on the AirPods Pro.

Modes

With Active Noise Cancellation, outward-facing microphones detect external sounds, which your Beats Studio Buds then counter with anti-noise, canceling the external sounds before you hear them. An inward-facing microphone listens inside your ear for unwanted internal sounds, which your Beats Studio Buds also counter with anti-noise. Transparency mode lets outside sound in, so you can hear what’s going on around you.

Switch modes on your iOS or iPadOS device

1. Open Control Center on your iOS or iPadOS device.
2. While wearing your Beats Studio Buds, touch and hold the volume slider until you see the additional controls.
3. Tap the Noise Control icon   in the lower-left corner.
4. Tap Noise Cancellation, Transparency, or Off.

You can also switch between listening modes in Settings:

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
2. Tap the “i” icon   next to your Beats Studio Buds in the list of devices.
3. Under Noise Control, tap Noise Cancellation, Transparency, or Off.
