- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019I had a pair of these before that were grey. Had them for almost three years and then the left earbud stopped working after I spilled water on them. Great sounding earbuds and the battery life is incredible for such a small pair of headphones. Better than airpods, better than most wired earbuds, and better than most wireless earbuds in their category. The only gripe I've got is that it isn't noise-canceling, but I wouldn't expect that from headphones at this price range. The noise isolation is good though, perfect for travel and daily commuting. Get them. They are good.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020This is (technically) my third pair of BeatsX. I absolutely love them, and didn’t realize how much until my last pair died, and I decided to try Airpods. What a waste of my time to order and return those before being able to buy a new pair of Beats!
Pros:
- Sound quality is great (better than the airpods)
- Actually fit in my ears (I guess I have small ears and the airpods didn’t fit. They were constantly falling out)
- very comfortable in ear (besides not fitting, the airpods hurt like hell)
- controls from the earphones (including play/pause, next, volume, and phone. It’s something you don’t think is a big deal to not have controls because you’re always by your phone anyways, but trust me, it makes a big difference)
- personally, I like that they have a neck cord. (You don’t have to take the time to store them somewhere safe if you’re constantly switching between tasks that you do and don’t want to be using your headphones for)
- connect to phone seamlessly
- the battery life is pretty good (I wouldn’t say great, but the charge is very fast. Five minutes gives you another three hours and probably fully charged within 20min)
Cons:
- this is my third pair.... they kind of die after a year and a half like clockwork..... Make sure you have the two year warranty and apple will replace (that’s why I say technically my 3rd pair). So basically you get three years out of them before having to replace at your own cost.
- nothing else to complain about. The above and the fact that the airpods have a charging case are the only reasons I wanted to try them instead. Regretted it fully and will not stray from the beats again!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020I bought my first pair of these in November 2018 (Black Friday Purchase ace). I LOVED them. Good sound, comfortable, easy to carry around, everything. After just over a year of owning them (right at one month after the warranty expired) I started to experience drop out on one side. By the middle of January 2020 the left side stoped functioning entirely.
I thought long and hard and was worried about ordering another pair. For the price they should last a lot longer the one year and one month. I have a pair of wired earbuds that came with my iPhone 5 that still work just fine! I decided to order a set of Beats Powerbeats 3. Very bad idea, not only were they uncomfortable but one side (left side this time) had dropout out of the box. So I thought to hell with it, get another pair of Beats X. Wish I had not!
The new Beats X arrived and out of the box they never turned on. I charged them for an hour before even trying and nothing. Charged them for 24 hours and nothing. DOA! Nothing, nada, zero sound out of them. To make things so much worse Amazon got me good. Before I can get a refund for whatever reason (two defective items in a row, Amazon being evil, cannot replace, whatever) I have to wait until they receive them to get Amazon credit or TWO WEEKS after they receive them to get my credit card refunded. This whole this is a flipping nightmare.
Now not only do in STILL not have a functioning set of earbuds but I have to wait until I can get access to a printer in the middle of a GD lockdown before I have a prayer of getting a refund.
Save yourself a whole heap of trouble, frustration, and hassle and skip anything with the Beats label. You will be better off with something else!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020This review is honest. I absolutely love these headphones.
This is my 3rd pair.
My first were refurbished and they cut in and out often. I ended up setting them down and one of the ear pieces went into my cup of water.. so that got ruined. My mistake.
My second pair lasted me 5 months. Then I got in an accident. They were in my vehicle when it got towed and they were stolen. So, that’s my mistake for leaving it in my car after the accident.
This third pair, I didn’t buy refurbished. They are perfect and I hope that these will last a lot longer than my previous two.
Read the manual. Seriously. The battery life is exactly as it states. The moment it’s fully charged, turned on, and dies, is 8hrs. And just like any battery life, the integrity of a battery diminishes throughout time and with excessive use. So, don’t give it a bad review if you’re not handling them properly.
The sound quality is AMAZING. Noise cancelling. Selecting the right ear piece size is critical. Gotta make sure it fits perfectly to work perfectly. It’s normal common sense.
I will constantly be buying these, when needed!! They are perfect for working out as well. They stay in and stay in place. I love that they are around my neck for safe keeping as well.
I’ve had different Bluetooth headphones, and these are my favorite. I’ve B used the AirPods and I don’t care for them. They hurt my ear. These BeatsX have never hurt my ear. They are comfy!
I 100% recommend people to buy these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
I love my beats and when my new phone didn’t have a headphone jack, I bought these Bluetooth ones. They are great on my 5k walk/runs. They come with different sized silicones for different shaped ears. Very comfortable and great sound!!
