Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
Beats Studio3 Wireless
✓
Apple AirPods Max ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio3 Wireless allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Apple AirPods Max too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

✓
Apple AirPods Max ✓
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Beats Studio3 Wireless sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Apple AirPods Max isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio3 Wireless
20Hz
Apple AirPods Max ✗
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Studio3 Wireless's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio3 Wireless
20000Hz
Apple AirPods Max ✗
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio3 Wireless's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Studio3 Wireless
114dB/mW
Apple AirPods Max ✗
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Studio3 Wireless's measurement is 114dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio3 Wireless
✗
Apple AirPods Max 40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Apple AirPods Max driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Impedance
Beats Studio3 Wireless
32Ohms
Apple AirPods Max ✗
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Beats Studio3 Wireless's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Studio3 Wireless
✗
Apple AirPods Max ✓
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Apple AirPods Max have this type of magnet.
