AppleInsider – 4\/5:<\/a><\/p>\n Overall, BeatsX is a well-made, decent sounding earphone that works in a variety of environments. Add to that an easy pairing process and solid wireless connection thanks to Apple’s W1 chip, and the package becomes even more appealing.<\/p>\n While we would not recommend the earphone for strenuous workouts, it is more than capable as a running companion, especially paired with Apple Watch. In that respect, BeatsX outperforms its Apple-branded AirPods sibling, fitting more ear types with its interchangeable ear tips and wing tips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n BGR:<\/a><\/p>\n Overall, though, the Beats X are the closest thing I\u2019ve ever seen to the perfect exercise headphones. Comfort and fit is exceptional, audio quality is more than good enough, and tiny details like the quick-charge make me more likely to reach for them on a daily basis. If you\u2019re an AirPods sceptic who wants to get in on Apple headphones that do legitimately \u201cjust work,\u201d they\u2019re perfect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n CNET\u00a0– 8.2\/10:<\/a><\/p>\n The slickly designed 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
