BeatsX Earphones Launch on Apple Store for $150

It seems like a lot of people are buying both airpods and beats x. Airpods for general use. Beats for gym for noise isolation. Apple sure know how to get people to buy multiple products.

The perfect earphones would be airpods with some kind of beats type fit seal for noise isolation or at least the option of. Then you get the best of both worlds.

But then you wouldn't get people buying two products instead of one. Sneaky ;)

Well in my case I would give the Airpods away if I bought these. I am wondering what kind of range they have? I love the Airpods but wouldn't mind something that is a step up in audio quality.

Not an urgent need by any means maybe I will wait and see how things progress in the next year. BT5 and all that jazz....

I would never go back to wired headphones after having a BT set.

Better than airpods in a quiet location ?

What's the fit like ?

Fit is great....fully charged now .....have put the wings on them (2 pairs included) along with three extra pairs of buds (varying size).....very comfortable....

Oh and the BIG beats sticker like the apple one

Going to use these as a backup pair and leave them in my bag.

I am addicted to the AirPods at this point, but now I carry those exclusively in my pocket cause they are so small (had powerbeats 2 prior to this, although the inline remote broke a while ago).

I definitely like the way these are designed, but having actual wireless earbuds has really changed how much I use them (that coupled with the W1 chip which allows quick switching between Apple products).

Agh so annoying to have to go back to wired earbuds but I'll probably buy these too. The airpods let in too much noise at the gym and I can't get into the 'zone' when I'm working out. I guess I'll pop over to the Covent Garden store today then if they're in stock there

Sound great.....I also have the Bose QC35....but after a couple of friends have had them snatched off their head, only use them inside or while travelling now....such a shame.....however...these I would say are on a par with them

Did they have many in the Covent Garden store? Tempted to try my luck tomorrow as my pickup at White City has been postponed due to an error.

Beats X is not sweat-proof.

Neither are PowerBeats. I'm on my second pair of 3's after warranty replacing 3 pairs of 2's. Sweat rolls off your ear down the cord and into the inline remote shorting it out. It's a well know design flaw that Apple is well aware of, and they've been cool about replacing them every time they crap out on me.
Long story short, if your main motivation for getting a set is because they are sweatproof, you should look elsewhere.

I was at Covent Garden at 10.20am and they had all gone. Regent Street had sold out too
 
Not sure if im getting my values correct, but these are cheaper on the UK site, even without the VAT added on for the US version

It's usually the other way around and would be even more so with the value of the $ being much stronger than the £

Or am i confused?
 
Why is this not available on Amazon?

I think you're right. Tim's meeting with May clearly paid off!

So happy to finally replace my Lightning EarPods
I couldn't use them with my work computer, and I couldn't couldn't charge my 6s and listen to music, and my Apple Watch was lonely

Anyone who has them, can you tell me how bad other people can hear your music? with EarPods if you turn the volume up in a quiet place other's can hear your music (a reason I don't buy headphones, as well as the ridiculous look)
Not saying I expect to have the volume at full blast in a quiet room and nobody can hear it, but I have some expectation higher than the EarPods
 
Ordered two this morning for in store pickup at Covent Garden. But a "system error" meant they were sold to someone else! Wonderful.
 
Still wondering why exactly they were interested in Beats.
There is no technology, it's just branding and Apple has a stronger brand themselves.
Establishing Apple as a headphone brand wouldn't have taken too long.
 
Over priced and much better options out there I will stick with my Sony xtra bass.
 
If you guys don't like the current color options, the BeatsX are getting sports colors (the gray and bright yellow, blue, and pink) treatment

Just picked my pair up from Apple Covent Garden, London.....apart from the initial issues with paying for them....the sound I can confirm is really clear, crisp and with a load of depth to the sound......

Lets see how they go over the next couple of days

Hehe, those "issues with paying" must have been because they were meant to be reserved for in-store pickup! Covent Garden said they sold mine to someone else... so that could've been you! Haha, how comfortable are they? Enjoy them! :p

BeatsX are different from the AirPods in a few small ways,

Thanks to the cable, however, BeatsX includes in-line remote control media playback

Does this also mean you can control the volume during phone calls? IMO, this isn't a "small" difference. This makes BeatsX far superior to the AirPods.

I was going to get the AirPods before I found out you couldn't adjust the volume during phone calls.

I've been waiting for these.

I got a pair of AirPods and returned them. They are a great product, but not for me. They only fell out like 3 times the the 3 weeks I had them, but each time was nearly catastrophic. Once on the subway platform, once into the washing machine...

And when you take them out the music stops playing. That's brilliant. But then you are holding this thing. Put in your pocket and the music starts back. My life is full of moments that I suddenly have to focus on something for 30 seconds at a time. I like the idea these just hang around your neck.

I also tried the Powerbeats 3. I liked them a lot too. But ultimately found them too bulky and uncomfortable.

Here's hoping this porridge is just right.
