BeatsX Earphones Launch on Apple Store for $150

[RunningDenver]

Just got 2 pairs from the Apple Store in Cherry Creek, Denver. I'd planned to get one black (for me), one white (girlfriend), but seeing them in person decided on 2 pairs of the white ones.

Listening currently, and confirm they've definitely got great sound, with good base. Better than any other BT sports headphones I have (which is quite a few as I run a lot).

Only complaint so far is that there seems to be a lot of cord. Could have been a few inches shorter on both sides - so there's a bit more around your chin than you need. Will take a run with them later.

These will be a better value than the AirPods, but Beats are still pretty overpriced for what they are. There are better options out there at this price point.

Not with the W-1 chip though. That's the diff for me anyway.

Exactly, which is why I ended up going with the Powerbeats3, the ideal set for my weightlifting, running, etc.

Fair point. For me, sound quality and comfort are the top two considerations, but the convenience of W1 is probably as important to a lot of other people.

I agree the beats brand is not for grown folk. I think grown men wearing beats branded products look ridiculous.

and shaming people for their preference in headphones is about appropriate for 10 or 11 years olds. Congrats

Good quick review. How is the mic quality. I use headphones a lot to take conference calls and sometime calls in public locations (while commuting). Did you test the mic quality and if it has any background noice reduction? AirPods does a great job with mic but they don't fit in my ears.
Thanks in advance for your response.

I thought the Powerbeats3 were a no-no for working out because they're essentially allergic to moisture.

You don't know how old I am. People of all ages have internet access.i could be closer to that age than you think.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised

But here you are quoting me.

LOL where did you hear that?

Order mine online for store pickup. Just walked into the store. Online order not showing in system. Just get one off the shelve. Cancel my online order.

There must be 12-20+ In stock at the century city store at 10:05am. I took one of them. Good luck all.

What's the battery life on a phone call? The AirPods are 5 hours of music, but 2 hours of phone calls.

 

[lolkthxbai]

Anyone having success with store pickup? Ordered at 8 EST and haven't received the pickup ready email yet.

Same here, still waiting.

Went to the Orlando store where I placed my online order for. Something is wrong with the Apple online system, they did not have the order yet even though I placed it 5 hours ago.

They had around 10 on the shelf so I bought one and am cancelling the other order.

I think for my work outs, my Airpods will be for my weightlifting and the Beats X for running.

I wouldn't use anything else for gym/running. Exceptional product.

Those are nice. But they weren't available at the time when I made my other purchases.

Fair enough. If you are ever in the market again then check them out. They really are great!

You are scaring me! Placed the order at 5 AM eastern and still no news. Really hope they did not mess this up, as just now I see they are no longer in stock in black at my local store...

Seems a somewhat common complaint in Amazon and Apple.com reviews.

Same here - ordered at 4:30 am. I just chatted with Apple online and they said not to worry - that pickup inventory is separate. I'm still worried. My store is now showing out of stock as well.

@Kabeyun quotes:"The phrase "Get rid of that awful 'b' logo or refresh it" is not an example of dumbness or arrogance. Dude, he just doesn't like the darn logo. Relax."

But yet, telling someone else to "Relax" and calling them "Dude" is not an example how you defend someone setting a positive example over your definition of "Rudeness." This post depicts you completely contradict your original intent. You can't right with a wrong with your own execrable comments. It doesn't work like that, but maybe double standards do for you.

If you think "dude, relax" amounts to an execrable (detestable, cursed, decried) comment, I wish you luck in the future. Personally, I'd save those adjectives for when they actually apply, lest you dilute their meaning. Peace, out.

Would someone who has purchased these mind measuring the length of the cord from earbud to earbud? Useful to know how long they actually are.

33.25in / 85cm

Yet, you're defending your flippant comments, which placed you in the spot you're in now. You didn't get very far.

Aside from that, Excellent deflection. Besides taking the time to Google the definition of a word you were ignorant of, you haven't proven anything and doesn't shy away from your snide remarks from your previous post(s). Being facetious only puts you in the problem, It doesn't disclude you from it. You're a product of your own environment. Thanks for the wishes.

That's long... I just checked my Jaybird BlueX (original version) and it's got 22 inch / 58cm.... I hope it won't be too long for me.
