Not beats fault - I like the product. Bought these for longer battery life. Apple bought beats, then forced everyone with iPhone 7 to use Bluetooth headphones. Not a coincidence

For iPhone 7 work well for telephone purposes; Great sound for music

You need them for iPhone 7

The Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless earphones use the Apple W1 chip for superior Bluetooth performance and deliver a highly sculpted, bass-forward audio experience.

Powerful audio performance for bass lovers; Uses Apple W1 chip for quick pairing, better connectivity with iOS devices; Sweat- and water-resistant design; Very secure fit

Insanely boosted bass and sculpted highs aren't for anyone seeking an accurate sound signature; Expensive

The Beats X headphones offer all the cool connectivity functionality of the Apple AirPods in a more conventional form factor.

Big bass as you'd expect; Comfortable fit with multiple tips; Quick charge feature is great; W1 chip connectivity is super easy; Bluetooth range is great

Awkward fit with shirt collar; Lightning charger means Apple focus; Bass might drown things; Magnetised fit out of ear doesn't stop the music

There's something remarkable about the new Beats X earphones. It's not so much their sound quality - which is pretty good - nor is it the rubbery build, their wirelessness or the ease with which they rest in your ears.

I get that Beats has a kudos that a company such as JBL is lacking, and that the styling of the AirPods makes them a no-go for many a prospective purchaser. And if you choose the BeatsX headphones for those reasons, you at least won’t find them unpleasant in any way. But if sound quality matters, you can do just as well for far less money by going for the JBL Everest 100s. On the other hand, if it’s techy awesomeness you’re after, the AirPods have got a heck of a lot more of that. In short, the BeatsX headphones are fine, but you can do better than fine. And if you’re determined to get some headphones with Beats emblazoned upon them, the Solo3 cans and Powerbeats3 sporty buds are both far easier to recommend.

These are good headphones. I use them with my iphone 6s Plus, and they work pretty well, but not perfectly. I'm 6'3", 280 lbs (male) and the cord is just long enough. Other reviews stated that the cord was too long, but I find it almost too short to sit in place over my neck.

It's the combination of the W1 chip, smart construction and good sound that makes the Beats X an easy recommendation at $129. That may be a tall order for some looking for a simple pair of earphones.

W1 chip = simple pairing and super long range; Decent sound; Long battery life; Lightning cable charging

Relatively expensive, Not the best sound you could get for the price vs; wired earphones

Beats headphones have always divided opinion, and in this sense BeatsX are the most "Beats-like" yet
