Wear reverse while working out

published

I love these earbuds...i workout, run, bike with these...for everyone having issues with these while working out (flat bench press) falling out, I've found that wearing them reverse and crossing them eliminates this issue. They are excellent at noise reduction, 5 minutes charge is amazing, super comfortable, only down fall is I don't think they get loud enough to blow my ear drums but I can live with that

Easily one of my most favourite purchases ever. The quality is unbeatable!

There's no substitute for crappy quality. These BeatsX are the best wireless headphones I've ever used. Super fast to charge, last for so long! Really simple to use. The range is quite large too if you are away from your phone. You can even use with apple watch which I love!

Broke only after 3 months

published

I first noticed the difference between the quality of the sound I hear. Then upon investigation, I saw that gluey substance from the inside of the earpiece was coming out, only from one earpiece though, the other one was fine. But it stopped working.



The fit was not good too.

poor fitting, very uncomfortable.

published

Cons: Quite possibly the worst headphones I have ever purchased. Terrible fit, they just fall out even when walking casually. I put the ear hooks on for running which helps but causes the earphone to smash right against the tragus and antitragus which after about 20 minutes of wearing, causes them to be unbearably painful.

Pros: sound is ok & they're wireless.

TLDR: Horrible and painful to wear. I literally hate them.

Best present idea!

published

I got gifted these headphones and I love them. They're super easy to use, stay in your ears while working out, you can control volume and song change through them, and they sit behind your head so they are never in the way. I do think the volume could be a little better but I just like my gym music to be loud. Awesome little earphones though! Worth the price!

Absolutely love my Beats X!

published

Had these for 6 months and love the simple but effective magnet system in them. It keeps them around my neck and I never loose them. The cord is made of a material that doesn't tangle and is supple enough to handle and hold. It is worth changing the ear plug fittings to suit your ear type, but it is very easy to maintain and clean.

Love how it’s wireless

published

I purchased the gold wireless beats, I love how sleek the design is and when you connect it for a first time it’s amazing, I love how it shows the battery percentage on the device connected so you know how battery is left, I like how it’s wireless so no cords getting tangled up and I can play my music in my headphones but have my iPad in my bag, I love the charge time you charge for 6 mins and it gives you 2 hours play back which is amazing, full charge for 8 hour use is 2 hours,

Better than apple!

published

I purchased these for my partner for Christmas 2017.
I was kind of sceptical at 1st that an in ear option would be better than over ear. With lots of research and testing so so many products in store I made the choice to go with the BeatsX.
My partner absolutely loves them! He says the noice cancellation is great- far better than he’s predecessor Panasonic overheads and is a big fan of the fast charge.
They are very easy to sync with multiple phones via Bluetooth and are overall a top product with amazing sound quality! He listens to mainly dance music and says the quality of the bass and sound is far better than he’s ever had with in ear headphones. Definitely would rate this product.

Okay bluetooth headphones

published

Pros: lightweight, sound is ok, powered by Lightning cable (handy if you are an iPhone user)

Cons: power button is small and hard to use, controls are on left not right (Apple headphones are on right), indicator sound plays when you connect and not when you turn on (would be more handy if it sounds when the unit turns on, especially because power button is hard to press), iOS 11 doesn't show battery levels (seems like known bug)

Overall I'm satisfied

Early wear not happy

published

I purchased a pair of beats dr dre headphones for almost $400 just over two years ago. When I returned them to apple to have them looked at they said it was standard wear. The ear pieces cushion component tatted peel and I was left with black flakes all over me. Very disappointed.

Good concept, average sound.

published

Love the concept of these, and they are good for people who have an iPhone 7 and above because you can listen to music and charge your phone at the same time. However, the sound quality isn’t as great as what it should be for the price. I prefer my Apple earphones that come with the phone.

Solid unit but pricey

published

Got these as well as a set of Gripped over ears and I must say they feel quite nice and delivery good sound but I can never get over the price of all beats products.
They capitalise off their name quite well but the product never matches the price tag.

The perfect bluetooth headset for work / gym

published

The beat x Bluetooth headphones are great for the gym and the commute. Good battery life and sound quality is crisp with awesome bass levels. The charge point is an iPhone lightning port - perfect for all you iPhone users not wanting to carrying around a micro usb cable! Feel is good and look great!

Perfect for all walks of life

published

These are the best earphones I've ever owned. Light and durable in design, and easy to use.
The fit is amazing and adjustable with the different size earbuds. The weights on the sides limits the amount of movement and locks them around your neck without any discomfort.

Easy to connect with Bluetooth. Lasts for around 6hrs on full charge, where it claims to be 8hrs, but I've only reached 6hrs. But the 20min quick charge to give you 2 hrs is perfect.
Sound quality is amazing, great bass, and clear and crisp sounds.

I've only had an issue with the battery failing after 9mths of having it, so lucky Apple were able to replace the unit. Apart from that, it has served me well through my gym sessions and travels.

Questions & Answers

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.

I haven't used it in the gym but I imagine it would be fine.

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