feech has introduced three new wireless headphones ahead of the holiday buying season but only this one the beats ex is a truly new headphone and the first one designed with the help of Apple's design and engineering teams you probably won't see it in stores until November but I got an early listen and was pretty impressed with both the fit and sound of Beats first neck band style headphone the band itself which beats calls a flex forum cable has two wires running through it that are made out of a nickel titanium alloy which was developed by the US Navy in the 1950s and is apparently very malleable durable and lightweight key to it here is that it gives the band just enough rigidity that allows you to roll up the headphone so it fits in an included compact carrying case you can't do that with an LG tone headset the magnetized buds adhere to each other when you're not using them and they did fit my ears well they house eight millimeter drivers and the beats X sounds natural for a bluetooth headphone with good detail and strong bass that isn't overpowering like Apple's air pods the X also incorporates Apple's new custom low-power Bluetooth chip the W one and delivers up to eight hours of battery life which is decent on top of that if you give the headphone a quick 5 minute charge via its lightning for yes I said lightning not USB you get two hours of usage beats calls this quick charge feature fast fuel to get a more secure fit if you're running or doing something athletic you also get a couple of sets of wingtips the X's sweat resistant as an integrated microphone and beats has redesigned the remote talk button to make it more tactile and responsive at $150 this headphone isn't cheap but it is the least expensive wireless headphone from beats and cost less than Apple's air pause and sounds better I'm David carnivore cnet.com and those are the beats X earphones coming this fall and definitely worth checking out
