I would not buy it for that price

published

These headsets had great sound but other that that its just useless. I paid around $150 for these and it was a waste of money. The batteries did not last for more than 3-4 hours specially when making calls and the mic wasn't good without bringing it next to your mouth. So I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Pretty pathetic for the price, junk to pair and I have a set of JBL headphones that are better sound quality. For the price, you’d expect better, but then that’s apple for you. Once they get your money they dont give a tinkers.

Now just useless plastic to go in the landfill.

published

I purchased some Beats x and they paired with my iPhone and iMac and were fine. Then I didn't use them for a while. I charged them last week and turned them on. They would not pair with my devices. I looked the problem up and it was suggested the firmware needed updating. So I downloaded the upgrade. Then when i went to install it I found my software was incompatible and it would not install. My software is up to date. So basically they are now an expensive piece of useless plastic. I am furious and appalled that such a recent purchase is now a throwaway. Shame on you Beats.

So Bad I'd Rather Die

published

I have owned these headphones for 2 years. In that time I have replaced them at least 5 times, for they constantly break and are made from cheap materials making them not very durable. If you are looking for some high quality daily-use headphones, I would not suggest these. You are definitely paying for the brand not the actual headphones.

Worth every penny

If you are into trance and electronic music and if you enjoy flat bass, this is it. Don't look elsewhere. These are absolutely phenomenal. The only little issue is that battery life is not that great. But the sound quality makes that issue rather pity.

Ok but not great

published

These headphones are ok if you aren't doing any physical activity (walking/running). I've found that the buds just continuously fall out no matter what buds I use which is a shame but is also a person thing.

The two things I do like is how quick they sync with my iPhone and the quick charge feature (15 minute charge provides roughly an hour of listening). I don't expect full rich sound like 5.1 surround sound but these do the job.

Would I recommend them? Hard to say I would, you defiantly need to try them on before purchasing which would be difficult!

Great sound, poor build

published

Sound: 4. Call quality: 4. Build 2. Broke after 9 months - simply do not turn on. Apple replaced them, but it's only a matter of time I think until they break again. However features wise it's a great set of headphones. Calls are great, the magnets work well and sound is clear. I only wish it would also power off or pause when the magnets are activated too.

Perfect for everyday uses

published

I’ve been using Beats X for listening to music and phone calling while on the bus and walk. The sound quality is extremely good for average man like me. Suitable for everyday uses., and you can use it for exercise activities since it will stay on your ear and not falls off easily. It also have fast charge capability as well.

I’m very satisfied with this product

We use our headphones through our phones and it’s perfect. Easy to operate and once finding the perfect ear piece they don’t fall out while running! We love these head phones and the sound is great.

I love it!

published

This headphones is easy to setup and use. The quality of sound is amazing. Good value for your money. I love the way it connects to my Apple devices. My only complain is there's no sound when you turn it on, or turn it off. I had to see the light to verify if its already on or off. Call quality is good as well. Surprisingly because normally, wireless headphones are not good for call use. This one is just fine. Aside from that, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Best headphones

published

These are brilliant! Since buying them I literally have never gone anywhere without them. The noise cancelling quality is excellent, blocking out noise which is great when walking outside or when at the gym. The quality of the sound they produce is superb.
Very easy to set up on your phone and they automatically connect every time you turn them on. I won’t ever use any other headphones again.

Great headphones

published

Excellent sound quality. good microphone. I quickly got used to just wearing them as a necklace when not using - the magnetic connection between earbuds is handy this way. (and nice that the neckband is flexible so they can be coiled up in a pocket.) Quick connection and on/off with iPhone due to W2 chip. On/off switch design is funky though. There is a 5-second delay from pushing the button to when you hear the chime saying it is on. And if you hold the on button longer than 1 second, it goes into pairing mode.

Love at first sight.

published

Out of the box, these seemed great. My iPhone popped up as soon as these were powered on, and all I needed to do was hit "continue". Once they were paired with my phone, they were also paired with my watch without needing to do anything. Pretty fancy.
The included eartips fit perfectly, which was a real shocker. I almost always need to go to a size up, or end up getting Comply foam inserts, but these were excellent without changing anything. Sound quality was... well... these aren't reference IEM's, and being made by Beats, I wasn't at all surprised that they were so bass-forward. But for the price, they're quite good.

A trend in the headset industry,

published

Bluetooth wireless headset Does solve the problem,The headset's overall design can be said to be very traditional, like the traditional Neckband bluetooth headset. But the advantage is that the overall texture of the headset is very good, silicone non-stick, and the skin's feel is very refreshing, and the material of the neck belt is relatively soft, in the premise of maintaining plastic fit neck, will not let people feel that there is obvious hard material brought about by the foreign body feeling.Within the scope of use, and the functionality is strong enough.

Is it with bass? I bought one and returned because I could not feel the bass at all or my one is faulty?

I have the same problem. Beats have a reputation for going overboard with the bass, these seem to be the opposite! Very bright and incredibly fatiguing.

Running through the spectrum there is artificial boosting evident around 700-1400Hz, 5000-8000Hz, and 11,000-12,000Hz. The part I don't understand is response tapers off under 400Hz with almost nothing below 80Hz.

Weird. In summary cheap sound with some boosting to give it the impression of sounding crisp and clear.

I will be returning and buying the Bose Soundsport.

Good on gym, but the bass is flat. Do you feel the bass? Or I got a faulty one.
