5 reasons why BeatsX Earphones are worth a sound check

The neckband-style wireless headphone market is crowded, but BeatsX Earphones stand out from the pack with their value, sound quality and design. Apple users in particular can benefit from BeatsX’s versatility and comfort — whether worn on the treadmill or sitting at a desk.

Here are 5 BeatsX features to tune into:

1. Apple compatibility: Although BeatsX Earphones are compatible with other devices, Apple users get to experience the full suite of perks. BeatsX run on the Apple W1 chip, enabling super-fast automatic pairing with Apple devices. And it charges with a Lightning cable — aptly called "Fast Fuel" — so a quick, 5-minute charge will yield 2 hours of usage. A full charge takes just 45 minutes, and provides up to 8 hours of playback.

“BeatsX is an appealing neckband-style wireless headphone that offers a lot of the 'magic' of Apple's AirPods in a more conventional, sports-friendly design,” CNET writes.

2. High comfort level: Anyone who has battled with clunky, uncomfortable headphones will appreciate the design of BeatsX. "There’s no ugly, hard plastic semi-collar that goes around your neck," The Verge writes. And the feather-light Flex-Form cable “sits comfortably and contours nicely around the back of your neck.” The earbuds are magnetic, so they can stay secure around the user's nape, as well as tangle-free when stowed away in the included carrying case.

3. Easy listening: The headphones come with 4 sizes of eartips and 2 sizes of optional wings to keep the earbuds in place when on the move. The payoff? Everyone should be able to dial in a snug fit. "I wore the BeatsX for several hours at a time without so much as a twinge of soreness or strain on my ears," Wired writes. As for sound quality, BeatsX’s customizable fit means “excellent noise isolation,” according to The Verge.

4. In control and connected: BeatsX features a Siri-compatible RemoteTalk button. The in-line mic and manual controls make browsing music selections and taking phone calls a seamless experience. And users can expect a clear and solid connection, even when walking away from their iPhone or laptop. "BeatsX stay connected from farther away,” Business Insider notes. “I had to deliberately walk a few dozen feet away from a connected phone to get things to drop out.”

5. Good value: Overall, BeatsX lets music lovers tap into a lot of tech at a moderate price point.  While not quite state-of-the-art, BeatsX are dependable workhorses — suitable from everything from exercise to hands-free phone calls.

Simply put: BeatsX get the job done. And users from Apple to Android will get a lot of bang for their buck.
