Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“I replaced a pair of Apple AirPod Pros with the Beats Studio Buds+. Both had one earbud that drains faster than the other. I’d say it’s about a 7-10% difference if I wear them until one runs entirely out of charge.”
— timetravelinwrek on Reddit
“They are a bit brighter than most earbuds but to me the bass is very deep. It doesnt have a lot of upper bass(boomy bass)”
— akii_idgaf on Reddit
“I found that enabled fixed Spatial Audio vastly changed the sound for the better”
— tgrassy on Reddit
“the bass is very deep but it’s not much punchy”
— Shesii on Reddit
