The headphones can be connected with other devices by means of Bluetooth. However, Sony WH-H900N has the advantage of providing aptX HD and NFC support.

Sound

Sony WH-H900N has an amazing relaxed sound signature. The bass is emphasized somewhat above neutral, there is a pretty decent amount of sub-bass punch that makes the headphones great for bass-heavy music.

The device Beats Studio 3 provides a rich, crisp sound signature with a focus on high-mid definition. But the headphones have poor soundstage due to the closed design.

Comfort and design

Both of the headphone models come with a carry case. The audio cable, which you get with each of them, is 130 cm long in the case with Beats Studio 3 and 120 cm long in the case with Sony WH-H900N.

Speaking of voice control, the headphones support Siri and Google Assistant.

You will hardly feel any difference between their weight, as Sony WH-H900N has 290 g and Beats Studio 3 has 257 g. They fold and their headband can be adjusted.
