Anker's version of BeatsX

Thanks for this. Ordered. Didn't want to pay $150 for headphones, these might just do the trick.

 

Do these have the auto-off feature if you haven't been using them for a while? I don't see it in the product descriptions.

 

From the previous Ankers, yes. But an annoying thing is you can't skip backwards on a track. Not sure if they have changed it on this model

And this isn't Anker's copycats. They've used the same features for a while in £13.99 wireless buds for a year or more

The magnetic element of the Beats X surprised me as it was these cheaper companies who did it first

TBH I got these and I'm totally happy with them. The sound quality is just the same as The precious PowerBeats:

why are companies making these darn wires so long? the Beats X wire is absurdly long and that neck band piece is so big that I rather just get wired headphones at that point..... I thought part of the appeal of wireless headsets, was to minimize the amount of wire hanging from your ear.

 

The Anker ones look more like JayBirds than BeatsX.

 

I had a previous version of Anker bluetooth earbuds and they sounded absolutely horrible. Has anyone compared these to the old ones? Are they better? I normally love Anker stuff but I was really disappointed with the earphones.

 

I would try these if my Bose SoundSports ever crap out. I have loved all of my Anker products to date.

 

Got them in today and I think the sound quality is awful. Gonna send them back to Amazon.

 

I received my pair to day as well and will be sending them back. I found the cable too short and even when connected, when my phone rings, i can't use the earbuds to answer the call? It disconnects and I have to take them out. Happened on 2 separate calls.

 

Well there is a reason why they are 3 1/2 stars on Amazon..
