Beats's wireless headset "BeatsX" comments: perfect for iPhone. Can you replace AirPods?

"I won't be tied up again."

Since iPhone7, there is no headphone Jack, and the demand for Bluetooth headphones is growing at this time today. The solution offered by Apple is "simple, magical wireless"AirPods". The price of 16800 yen (excluding tax) is not bad, but the status quo is that it takes six weeks of patience before shipment.

Along with the AirPods is the BeatsX, a new wireless headset from Apple's audio brand Beats by Dr.Dre. This is 14800 yen (excluding tax) and is the most powerful candidate for headphones for third-party Apple products. This time, the Christina Warren of Gizmodo in the United States commented on the use of AirPods.

Apple's AirPods comment: if you find "full wireless" more attractive, buy!

The BeatsX is the third product in the Beats series with built-in W1 chips (including the Apple, the fourth as a whole). The wireless chipset designed by the Apple can extend battery life and instantly pair with Apple products (iPhone needs to exceed iOS 10.1).

To pair, simply pull BeatsX and iPhone closer. When you turn on the BeatsX, you will immediately start pairing with a nearby iOS device, so you can press the popular Connect button to listen to music wirelessly.

BeatsX is also comfortable to wear. No matter how many hours you wear it on your ear, there is no common pain. Beats also offers earplugs in 4 sizes. The smallest chip on my little ear is just right. And unlike AirPods, BeatsX is tied together with a neck strap, so don't worry about losing only one side.

Like many wireless headphones on the market, such as the popular Bluetooth headset "Jaybirds X3", the BeatsX uses a necklace design. When the BeatsX is not in use, the tip of the ear can be held tightly together with a magnet and hung like a necklace around the neck. I also like the "BUTTONS" of the Bluetooth headset designed with the same magnet, but it can also be easily done on the BeatsX and is very comfortable.

This necklace can control the volume, skip the music, stop or answer the phone. Unlike the Jaybird X3, the controller is lightweight and does not fall off the ear because of its weight. In addition, the biggest complaint of my AirPods is not that "you can only use Siri to control the volume" (you can control the volume through the L-end track control).

The BeatsX battery is light, durable and placed around the neck. Using Apple's Lightning cable to charge, a 5-minute fast charge can take up to 2 hours, and a full charge can reach 8 hours. Compared with the "Beats Solo3 Wireless" of the Bluetooth headset for up to 40 hours, it feels less, and the charging structure is not as good as the charging box that comes with the AirPods, but I think it is still a good salty plum.

And the design of the necklace shape is very convenient, especially when exercising. AirPods sounds great, but I'm still worried about whether it will fall off when I run. But if you wear BeatsX on your ear, you can exercise comfortably. Although not as good as the fitness-focused Bluetooth headset "Powerbeats3Wireless", BeatsX is also recommended for active people.

音質もグレート。AirPodsやEarPodsよりも低音が響きますが、ものすごく重く聞こえるというわけでもありません。Futureの『HNDRXX』を聴くとベースノートが忠実だし、Remy Maの"ShETHER"のような曲もクリアに聞こえます。Powerbeats 3 Wirelessは未使用ですが、BeatsXのサウンドは古いPowerbeats 2と一緒です。 高音域と中音域は鮮明に聞こえ、低音の響きもやり過ぎず、でも適度な存在感があります。さらに、ケーブルには音声通話ができるマイクもついています。

Overall, BeatsX is enough to replace AirPods. And in Japan, about 2000 yen for BeatsX is cheaper.

And can be easily connected to the iPhone, battery holding is also very good, the operation is also very good. It may not be as elaborate as AirPods, but in terms of practicality, I think it's perfect.

Last

When you buy Beats products such as BeatsX, you will get a 3-month free coupon from Apple Music. It's equivalent to 2940 yen!

Even without feathering lugs, Beat X does not fall off the ear during exercise.

One hundred and fifty dollars (14800 yen in Japan) is more expensive than a similar sound Jaybird X3 with a similar design. If you are an Android user and don't stick to the Beats brand, I think there are other options.

Pairing with iPhone is very simple, which is quite high for individuals.

The accompanying lightning cable for charging is very short.

It's a pity that Calabari doesn't have rose gold.
