somewhat full review without crazy detail
first of all is the sound, it's amazing especially upgrading from my JBL live pro 2 and it's relatively clear rather than bass focused like the pro 2's though can still be lowered. the beam 3's have a clearer soundstage and separation while the bass is still slightly centered in the lower frequencies without it being overwhelming.
battery is nice for the usual time I listen to music or whatever, so as long as your not listening to loud it should last the whole day.
comfort is lackluster for people with big/ shallow ear canals, for me (small ear hole/canal) it's nice and fit's pretty well though I still have to adjust it occupationally but not too bad really. maybe to snug for some.
isolation is rather strong without noise cancelling enabled and better with it on... though it doesn't handle noisy environments well, so the anc is not it at times.
connectivity is perfect, at least with my phone.
to touch up on the case, just make sure the screen is pointed out when it's in your pocket or it will turn on and skip you music.
it's only been about 3 weeks with it so far, so I can't say to much about the water/ dust res, though from the other reviews I've read it was rather exceptional for the price.
in conclusion it's a 4.7 out of 5, my only concern is the screen durability and degradation of the product over time. the ANC could be better but does the job for whoever finds themselves in a quiet place or somewhat loud one (bought in September 2026 btw)
