Questions & Answers
My ears and ear canals are extremely small. These are one of the few earbuds/headphones that actually fit comfortably in my ear canal. I can't keep any of the AirPods in my ears for more than 20 seconds. I've owned two pairs of Beat X headphones, as well as these (which replaced the Beat X). Every pair has been a perfect fit, and no matter how much money I spend, I have yet to find another pair that I like better!
It's simple to pick up a call, and the sound quality is excellent.
Yes, this is possible. My husband and I go for a bike ride together. He drives, and yes, I can wear this with my helmet just fine, even though it is a little tight. br>Perhaps this individual isn't the one behind the wheel?
As soon as I received them, I promptly returned them. And I'm not likely to purchase anything else from Beats. They employ a non-traditional method of communication. The charger is standard, and the cord that comes with it is a joke. I'm not going to spend the money on a special charger for Beats headphones because they aren't that great.

I figured they were charging via the "usb-c" port with a super-slim wall adapter. cable type "c" WRONG. It does not come with a wall adapter that can be plugged in. It's only about the cable. Please be aware that if your newer computer does not have a direct USB port, you will not be able to use it. c You'll need to purchase an adapter in order to charge your Beats. br>br>The charging description makes it seem like charging via USB isn't a big deal. If you don't have a compatible device that uses the same setup, you'll need to use a c cord. br>br>It's one of those "Ah Ha" and "Got You" moments you'll never forget.
I'm a big fan of theirs. So far, there haven't been any problems with these. It all boils down to whether it's better to spend a little more on more expensive earbuds (let's be honest, we all know I'm referring to Airpods) or get these instead. So: If you want to: br>br>Buy Airpods instead.
- I can't stand being around wires in any way. br>- Have a bit of spare cashbr>- Consider how a small change in sound can make a significant differencebr>- You'll definitely lose your earbuds if they're not in a casebr>br>Congratulations if none of these apply to you. Enjoy these puppies for a fraction of the cost of a new pair of Airpods. In addition: br>br> Because of the shape of my ears, I had to purchase ear hooks in order to use my old Airpods. This isn't a problem because they're a good fit. That's all there is to it. br>br>.
They're amazing for the price, and I wear them all the time:br>Let me address some of the issues I've seen in the reviews:
1 - There is no power source available. Yes, there isn't a USB port on this computer. The only thing you get in the box is a very short cable and a C charger. I don't have a problem with this because I have a half-dozen usb-connected devices. I don't have any c blocks around the house, and I wouldn't have plugged one in if it had come in the box.
2 - Sound quality is poor. My ears say no. They're not Bose, but they're a lot better than the average pair of cheap bluetooth earbuds I've bought in the past.
3 - microphone is not working properly. Once again, I'm not aware of it. I've used them on a number of zoom and phone calls, and no one has ever said anything.
4 - Buttons that are not ergonomic. It takes a little getting used to, but there are only so many places on headphones that hang around your neck where you can put volume buttons. It appears that this is a nit-picky situation. to me it seems like picking. Bottom line. br>If you're an Apple/iPhone user looking for some decent headphones with the same wizardry as AirPods but don't want to pay $150 for AirPods - look no further. You will not be dissatisfied with this purchase. If you're expecting something from Apple that costs $50 and is better than AirPods, AirPods Pro, or Bose earbuds, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
I'm not sure if I got a bad pair, but the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. br>I sent them back the next day. Three years ago, a pair of $20 headphones sounded a lot better! Advantages: br>br>
1. 2. Rapid chargingbr> Capacity and life of the batterybr>3. Auto play/pause and easy pairingbr>4. br>br>Pros: Excellent for phone calls and podcastsbr>br>Cons:
1. All of the buttons and the microphone are not in an ergonomic position. br>2. Because the mic is worn around the neck, it picks up any noises caused by clothing movement and sends them back to the earphones!
3. The volume rocker is not tactile and has a loose feel to it. br>4. The power button and primary function buttons are also mushy and not tactile. br>5. Static/noise levels are higher than a pair of Bluetooth earphones for $20br>6. The emphasis is solely on the vocals, with the highs and lows sounding muddybr>7. The sounds appear to be emanating from afar.
Disappointed and dissatisfied, to say the least. If you move your head too much, you'll hear a tinny sound, as well as noise. The money spent was not well spent. I should have bought a pair of Bose headphones instead.
It does not include a USB port. Block c for charging. Sound quality is good, but it's useless if you don't have access to a power source. $10- 12 for the charger, and I'm not going to be able to use my headphones until it arrives.
the- I was concerned about the microphone being worn around my neck, but after several test calls with friends and family, I've been assured that they can clearly hear me. br>The audio quality isn't up to par with the $100 category of headphones, but it isn't bad either. I can talk on a busy street or in the car with the windows down and my voice comes across clear with low background noise. br>The audio quality isn't up to par with the $100 category of headphones, but it isn't bad either. br>In comparison to BeatsX, these headphones are much lighter and more comfortable. There is less bass in the sound. Although they are heavier than the BeatX, I do not experience sound fatigue when using or wearing them. I also use these at work for Zoom calls, and they're fantastic. br>The additional feature of pausing music when the headphones are magnetized together is fantastic. The controls for pausing music, using Siri, and answering phone calls are all simple to use. br>Overall, these are a significant upgrade over the BeatsX, which I still own and use every day for the past two years.
Cons: There is no waterproofing, I can hear background noise and cable noise through the speakers even though the people I'm talking to can't, there is no carrying case like the BeatsX, and there are no earbud "wings".
My last Beats brand headphones, which I've had for a long time. I haven't been loyal because of the quality, but because it was the first brand I purchased and I was simply swayed by habit. I had grown accustomed to and expected each pair to last about a year, which was a bummer, but I made excuses. Heavy usage, etc. To summarize, there have been changes that I haven't liked, and they have happened slowly but steadily. I put the power beats to the test. I despise them, so I purchased a Beats flex in the hopes of getting as close to the original as possible. USB power cable C tp Usb- With them, you'll get a C. I have a lot of cables in my drawer. I've got a million iPhones, at least six pairs of beats, including the new power beat (which I despise), and guess what? I'm unable to charge my Beats Flex because I lack the necessary adapter. Beats. Done. What a load of nonsense. I'm confident that in the future, I'll be able to find a less expensive alternative with better sound quality than this, which has always been disappointing. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to make the change, but this is the last dollar you'll ever receive from me.
