Hello. I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong thread.

I got the BeatsX for free when ordering my iPad Pro in 2017. The quality is great, and i love it.. however, the wire is absolutely horrendous. I don’t like to wear it behind my neck! It’s either cold and uncomfortable or warm and sticky. When i let the wire hang in the front I can hear it moving around through the music, and creating a sound similar to being under water.

I’ve considering buying the AirPods by Apple but I need to know: are they a downgrade from the BeatsX? I want something simple and easy to use without a wire in the way, but still great sound and no audio leaking. Im a self conscious person, and I don’t like people knowing what I’m listening to.

I’d appreciate any advice, suggestions and recommendations. Thank you.
 
They are an upgrade. I use them in the gym, running, or basic calls. They are much better and a bit more professional looking in an office setting.
