Our Verdict

Plantronics Backbeat Pro Wireless 2014

Beats Studio Wireless

The Plantronics Backbeat Pro Wireless 2014 are slightly better headphones than the Beats Studio Wireless. The Plantronics have a better control scheme than the Beats. They also have a longer battery life and a better wireless range. On the other hand, the Beats have a more balanced sound quality but do not pack as much bass. The Beats also have a more comfortable and sleek-looking design, and that's a bit more stable for physical activity.
