" ... They fit my ears well, though I did switch out one of the buds with foam Comply covers on the right ear (seems I have an odd shaped ear canal just on the right??) ... and they fit around the neck very securely, don't pull or make themselves a nuisance if you turn your head far one way or the other, when I take them out the magnetic heads stick together and I completely forget I'm even wearing a headphone necklace, and they fit quickly and compactly in the rubber carrying sleeve. ... "

" ... Stays fit if you choose the best tips. ... The magnetic attachment works wonders. ... You literally don't have to even think about them and they pull one another and stay attached while not in use. ... "

" ... These sound terrific if you like timid loudness and neutral bass. ... Build quality=A+, general sound=A+, loudness=C-, bass=C-, overall=B- ... "

" ... Although not as bass-y as other Beats headphones, they still sound great. ... "

" ... Speaking of the time it was working the sound quality was great with good bass as well. ... "

" ... Music is rich and heavy with bass. ... "

" ... The sound is not at all Beats-y, that is, it doesn't have booming, muddy bass. ... In fact, I'd go so far as to call them very balanced with a nice bass punch. ... "

" ... The bass isn’t that typical Beats bass which honestly I’m fine with for earbuds. ... I’d personally prefer a bit more punch in the lows. ... "

Cables

earbuds, lightning cable, wire, neck, tangle

+44%

-56%

" ... returned- earpiece wire was extremely long. ... "

" ... Horrible design - the cable in the front is too long and it makes it look like you are wearing a hearing aid. ... "

" ... The way the wire is setup makes it feel bulky and flop around. ... "

" ... The cords constantly bounce off your cheeks and are in the way. ... "

" ... The cords hang down and nothing to retract them. ... "

" ... Sound is good but wire is thick, heavy and stiff. ... "

" ... Wires are long and uncomfortable to me on some days. ... "

" ... The only problem is that they came open when they were supposed to be brand new, the lightning cable was missing, and when pairing the first time with my phone a message said “Irene’s BeatsX” which let me to believe that they are used. ... "

+70%

-30%

" ... These are all a soft silicone. ... "

" ... So I recommended these to her, same W1 chipset inside as the more expensive AirPods, but quite a bit more secure, and specifically made for working out in. ... Jokes and stories aside, good durable product here. ... "

" ... As per build quality, seems quite sturdy and Apple quality reflects very well in them. ... "

" ... They also 'clip' together magnetically which is a nice perk. ... "

" ... Its like buying a nice car all black but no red brake clips. ... "

" ... What's really cool is the back of the earbuds are like mini magnets, so they clamp together and makes much harder to lose them it. ... "

-33%

" ... EXCELLENT, GREAT PRICE SAVED 50.00 ... "

" ... But for the price, they're quite good. ... "

" ... -For the price I got it for $109 on sale which is still pretty expensive imo, but I think it’s worth the investment. ... "

" ... For me I do quite like them but I’d have to say they probably aren’t worth the 5x higher price tag compared to Anker sound buds Lite for example. ... "

" ... Best bang for your buck! ... "

" ... Worth the money. ... "

" ... Definitely worth every penny ... "

" ... Left channel goes out intermittent ... "

" ... Now randomly starting/stopping songs, volume changing randomly. ... "

" ... On the other side, the On/Off button I find requires way too much pressure to activate and is also very difficult to feel for while on the run. ... A more tactile clicking type button would have been a much better option than the existing shallow and firm button. ... "

" ... I’d personally prefer a bit more punch in the lows. ... "

" ... The BeatsX are single dynamic driver headphones, so couldn't hope to have the definition and frequency separation that the Triple Drivers have (though I was disappointed that the BeatsX couldn't even match the Triple Drivers' bass response). ... "

" ... At this price I expected these to be at least a little sweat resistant. ... "

" ... What I failed to read and understand was that they were not sweat resistant. ... How is Apple going to make a product like this - for this price - and not make them sweat/liquid resistant? ... Anker can make a product like this for an 1/8th of the price and make them sweat resistant. ... "

" ... There are no custom Windows drivers for the headphones, just a utility to update the firmware, and no amount of unpairing and pairing would make them show up as a selectable audio device in Windows. ... "
