“they’re actually amazing for the gym. Way better than the Bose, the Sony’s, and the AirPods for the gym. Noise cancelation is a 10 out of 10, and they never get hot in your ears.”

“they’re actually amazing for the gym. Way better than the Bose, the Sony’s, and the AirPods for the gym. Noise cancelation is a 10 out of 10, and they never get hot in your ears.”
“I find that they clamp hard too but that suits for gym use as they don't slip. The cups are a little small for large ears.”
“I got a pair and ended up returning them because it didn’t have on ear detection”
“mine would also lose 10% battery per night while off. Some folks on Reddit said turning "Find My" off would fix it - not for me. Hopefully others don't have this problem. As for me, I returned it and I might take another swing in a year or so. But for now, it's just too much money for what feels like an oddly wonky product.”
“I love mine. The update really helped with the mids. They were super uncontrolled before”
“I hear no hiss at all and the highs are crispy. They’re aren’t perfect at all especially at the 350 price but they sound good to me”
“its the only over ear headphones that are sweat/water resistant tho, so Ima keep them for the gym and eventually hopefully soon they will release a update to fix the battery drain”
“I actually ended up taking them back, I like beats. But the anc buzzing was terrible and I couldn’t handle it”
“I am now 3 gym sessions into using these and I love them. They are the perfect gym headphone”
“I have never been more disappointed with a pair of headphones. They are loud with zero depth.”
“No hissing sound on mine. Best headphones I have ever had.”
“Swapped it. Now battery lasts forever and ever. Day and night. Hiss on neither. I think they manufacturing quality as well as (complete lack of) QC is total piece of shit.”
“No hiss on mine (or maybe my tinnitus masks it lol) but I notice that the sound is inconsistent. Sometimes the bass sounds full, sometimes it doesn’t (in the latter case, it’s all thump and no rumble).”
“I got my beats 360 today. It’s comfortable and sounds great. They don’t squeeze my ears like my AirPod max 💞 I have a small head and tiny ears. With my Airpod Max I felt pressure in my ears when I put them on so I gave them to my son. Happy with Beats 360.”
“Mine hiss like crazy. Especially during podcasts and audiobooks.”
“Had to return my first pair because at random times the right side would have this rattling sound (like a blown subwoofer)”
“Got mine and tested them at the gym, as I sweat a lot. They survive and the knit cushions look fine and don’t smell. After JBL got rid of the rock workout headphones, finely these can fill the void. Sound is good and loud.”
“I’m no audiophile I think they sound good not as much bass as I’d want and no eq hurts. They’re just good enough for me not to return for the Bose qc 2.”
“I think it looks cute and comfortable and to me it seems durable enough for regular gym use and u can be heavy-handed with it. As for the sound, it’s alright and misses the iconic heavy bass in Beats headphones.”
“I personally love mine , but sadly the hiss is still annoying at quit places. Going outside i didnt really noticed it tbh.”
“Mine, the battery percentage goes down when not in use after being charged all night. So when I got to grab them after a couple of days they’re already at 50%”
“However, for the gym, the lighter weight, the air fit for the changeable ear pieces, and noise cancelling are good enough for me. I don't have the hiss which is lucky. I wouldn't get the 360s for anything other than gym.”
“I really like them I cannot hear the hiss but I seem to be losing a lot of battery while they are turned off. I’ve made sure to turn them off properly and I have turned off “find my” but they still drain around 5% in 10 hours of off time.”
“The comfort, design, and customization are awesome, but the audio tuning and hiss just didn’t cut it; definitely not worth the price for me.”
Ranked by the share of owners who recommend each one.
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“Great to hear! Hopefully the niggles can be solved with an update. I also find it strange that they only turn off after 7 hours and don’t give you an option to change that”
“I had this issue as well and resets didn’t work…until I chose forget this device in the Bluetooth settings before doing the reset. Haven’t had an issue since and it actually holds its power percentage overnight with no issues.”
“The ear cup size/shape is definitely a problem if you have big ears. Maybe after market will make larger cups but don’t count on it.”
“The battery dying fast is caused by the find my feature on the beats. For my samsung/android device I had to change the permissions in the app for my location. Now that location os turned off for the device my battery life is much longer.”
“When you have them connected to your iPhone, go into settings, beats 360 and turn off find my. It fixed that issue for me!”
