Beats is owned by Apple, and the Studio Pro is marketed towards people like myself who want a quality over-ear wireless noise canceling headphone but also don't want to spend $400 plus on the AirPods Max. The Studio Pro offers great audio quality, better than any other Beats headphone, and very good active noise cancelation. It carries over a lot of Apple's trademark features like spatial audio with head tracking, one touch pairing, and "Find My" functionality. It also has a Transparency mode so you can listen to the environment around you without removing your headphones.
The Beats Studio Pro has a USB Type-C port for charging. In fact, you can also listen to music via USB Type-C and charge the battery simultaneously. That's a rare feature in a wireless headphone since usually you would use a 3.5mm audio jack instead. Curiously the Studio Pro has a 3.5mm audio jack as well. Most of the time you'll probably listen to your music wirelessly over Bluetooth, and the Studio Pro excels here with up to 40 hours of listening time on a charge. It's also easy to travel with since the earcups can fold in for compact transport.
