If you give our Beats Studio Buds review a read, you'll find a pair of wireless earbuds that outperform their affordable price. We love the small, imminently pocketable case, and the noise canceling impressed us with how much noise it was able to block. We liked them so much, in fact, that they earned a very solid 4 stars, and a whole hearted recommendation from our tester.
I also love the Beats Studio Buds, and it's all down to their case. I am what you might call a "case connoisseur," with very particular criteria that an earbud case must match before it gets a "hm, this is a good case" from me. I wear skinny jeans (because it's still 2012 in my head), so I like a slim case that slips effortlessly into my pockets. Too fat, and it sticks into my leg. I like a case that's a smooth shape with rounded corners, rather than a sharper square or rectangle.
The Beats Studio Buds case matches every single one of my case criteria. It's small and thin enough so it doesn't dig into my thigh. It's a pebble like shape, so there aren't any angles or edges. It's a great case, and it lends the earbuds an extra 16 hours of battery, extending the 8 hours you get out of the buds. Nice.
