Beats Flex All-Day Wireless Earphones - Beats Black MYMC2PA/A review
Beats Flex is a good pair of headphones and a decent choice if you’re picking up an iPhone 12 and don’t want to spend more on AirPods. The smarts that come from the W1 chip is great to have at this price and the sound quality is ok, if a bit flat.- Some AirPod smarts for a lot less
- Neckband design can be useful
- USB-C is great for Android users
- They're cheap
- Sound quality is a little bit flat
- USB-C annoying for iPhone users
- No sweat resistance makes them harder to recommend for the gym

The Beats Flex are decent for mixed use. They have a comfortable, lightweight fit and are stable enough for moderate exercise. They also have a bass-heavy sound profile to keep you pumped up at the gym or office.- Comfortable, stable fit
- Good build quality.
- No EQ
- Struggles to cut down bass-range noise.

- 12-hour battery life
- Full suite of on-board controls
- Quick pairing via W1 chip
- Inconsistent audio performance
- Design may be awkward for some
- No hands-free Siri
- No sound or controls customization

The new $50 Beats Flex are a very smart play from Apple’s Beats division. One reason why is obvious: with the iPhone 12 lineup no longer shipping with included earbuds, this neckband-style option could prove to be a popular substitute.- Improved battery life
- USB-C connector
- Easy-to-use controls
- Not rated for sweat resistance
- So-so noise isolation
- No automatic device switching

Beats Flex review: More bass, more battery, half the price
Until now, the most affordable set of Beats wireless headphones was the $100 BeatsX. With their balanced sound, easy pairing with iPhones, and excellent call quality, they were a good choice for Beats fans who wanted something smaller and less expensive than the brand’s classic folding wireless headphones. But the BeatsX were released in 2017, and the wireless headphone market has changed a ton since then. True wireless earbuds have become very affordable and the connection problems that once plagued these devices have largely been eradicated. This had the effect of making the BeatsX look unnecessarily pricey given their bulkier, behind-the-neck design. Apple’s response: The $50 Beats Flex. They have all of the features as the BeatsX, which the Flex replaces, but at a dramatically lower price that keeps them in the running when people are considering a new set of earbuds. Did Apple have to cut too many corners to bring the Beats Flex to their remarkably low price, or are these the Beat...- Great price
