Hi All,

I am definitely not a lover of the airpods, and find the BeatsX to be a bit expensive for what they are.

Does anyone know if we have any other alternatives that would charge via Lightning cable? I honestly do not want to carry around all these different chargers/dongles, and would love a 1 cable solution for my phone and earphones.

I have put up a WTB for BeatsX in the meantime, as it may be my only option, but if anybody has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it!

I have yet to see any - I'm not a fan of the EarPods but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy my AirPods...they are slightly larger and not having a cord really makes a difference.

The problem is the fact that they do not block outside noise is why I am turned off. I need some sort of noise cancellation for when I am flying or on the bus etc. The BeatsX should have "some" isolation, but I am still a little reluctant to spend $120 on so-so earbuds.
