Are the $150 Beats X Worth It?

2017-02-09
hey guys Boston so these are the brand new beats X headphones but for $150 are they forcing so they showed up this morning straight from Pete who system out a couple days before they go on sale so it is these are wireless headphones they're meant for working out and other wireless headphone activity so these being beats are probably going to sound like these headphones which may or may not be a good thing so they do have some cool features including the w1 chip from the Apple earpods as well as it beats solos they've got eight hours of battery life as well as fast you'll which supposedly will give you about 2 hours of additional listening with only a 5 minute charge similarly do we have the headphones themselves which are nicely magnetic together we also do have the inline controls love these two things I'm standing is where the batteries and the electronics are there's like one button here and what looks like maybe a lightning point we also have all the interchangeable ear tech so like most in your headphones you have different sizes depending on your ears as well as a little here hook guys just look at name for these right your class I feel dumb I'm just going to move on now that's a little carrying case for our earbuds as well as a wedding cable so one like this deep solo threes which use micro USB which was weird this actually does come with a proper lightning connector which you should be able to just plug in like this and charge on your non courage Edition macbook fill your ears with three three months of Apple music well I mean if you guys might use that before so since these do have I can't talk with these day so sis please have the Apple w1 wireless chip in theory if you do have an iPhone a Mac or an Apple watch it should be pretty easy as hair so if I press the button here hey that was quick so if I hit connect that should pretty much be it there we go so not only is this now paired with my iPhone but it's also not attached to any of my devices on iCloud so that would include something like my watch my macbook whatever it is it should pretty much be seamless all the way around so what give them a listen there's not a ton of base are these actual beefs is that says BC right so a little bit more base here but it's still more of a balance down than I was expecting I really do you think I have to compare it with some other headphone so these are the jaybird freedom now these are another pair of very very small bluetooth headphone you see that while they keep a little bit longer on the beats they're pretty comparable now these are maybe not the greatest sounding headphones in the world but I'm curious to see how they actually compare I will say the bass is less pronounced here the beats are more neutral than I thought they were going to be but there's still definitely more of a kick than these and I go back and forth here a little bit these sounds there's just lots of a punch which I think was kind of surprising when I first put these on with it they don't have that real signature meilleur major sort of scoop the most beats do where it's a lot of highs a lot of lows and not a lot in the middle this seems to be a little more of a flatter curve definitely not flat but compared to other beats it is over we're going forth interesting it's a really good way of testing headphones when I export all your reviews right here on the Austin Tennis Channel so if I untangle my wireless headphone disaster here something else I'm interested in comparing these with are the Apple earpods so while these are about 130 150 these are like $160 so it is kind of in that same sort of price category that never gets old it's so fast literally clothes I open it up and boom I'm done so it makes the air pause a little bit different is if they are fully wireless so when you pull em out of the case you can see that the actual air pots themselves are completely independent so if you want you can just put one in or listen to both but there are no wires whatsoever going between them it shouldn't be a huge surprise these are very much ear pods that just happen to be wireless they don't sound bad but the bass is nowhere near as pronounced it's more of a tinny sound with that w1 chip it is easy to pair these with an Apple device but they do also work with other Bluetooth devices such as Android yeah that works completely fine so no does it work on Android pretty much exactly the way it does on iOS but also we have our inline controls which work here too so even though this does have the W one ship and it works well with Apple devices it should work for prima changing the supports bluetooth some of the big advantages of using wireless headphones like this is the ability to go exercise without having a bunch of cables running all over you so they do actually have the option of dropping on the wings to really lock them in your ear but honestly for me I can just put them right in and they're nice and nice and secure this is what nice and secure looks like by the way how does your absolutely going to tackle me there so one of the cool things about the beats X's is if they actually do stay in your ears pretty well even when you get surprised tackled you've been using the air pops Krypton yes sir I'm trying to yes I have what you think they fit really well they don't seem to work very well with front-flip ease fit better than any in ear headphones I've ever tried I don't know but just because like they're the right size for my ears or what I feel like we should still have a little challenge air pod versus peeps yeah are you faster than me I think you got to be three two one your fault nope the procurement yeah so they both say we're going to surprise me is isolation something that I can't hear anything so that's the one thing I noticed too definitely better at isolating sound so while these might not be the greatest sounding headphones in the world for $100 I think if you do a lot works speaking of my buddy John did a video comparing these with the Apple earpods to be sure to go check that out and I'm curious what do you guys think about the beats X let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
