While both sets of buds are equally comfortable, Apple's are better built, their noise isolation performance is significantly better, and they have an H2 chip, so you can easily pair these buds with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. On the other hand, the Beats have a longer continuous battery life.

The AirPods Pro is a vast improvement in both including ANC and simply better isolation than the AirPods (2nd generation). The Beats Studio Buds struggle to attenuate frequencies below 1000Hz. Active noise canceling performance is slightly better on the Apple AirPods Pro.
