we're going on guys traverse consumer and it's been a while since we took a look at a pair of beasts on the channel so let me introduce you to the beats X the beats X our Apple's newest line of Bluetooth in the air bud and when you pick up one of these you'll get a couple of things in the box of course the earbuds themselves a travel case multiple sized ear tips some wingtips for a secure fit and a lightning cable and this is actually the first pair of beats to include a lightning port instead of a microUSB port since being purchased by Apple but taking a look at the actual earbuds they've got what they're calling a flex form cable which falls in line with some of those earbuds with a built in neck band and I really like this now this band isn't super rigid but it does a job at keeping this in place and it allows for some flexibility when you want to stuff this into the travel case or maybe even your pocket the earbuds themselves are slightly curved so it sits comfortably in the air with no worries of them falling out whatsoever now I personally didn't need the extra wingtips to have you stay in place which says a lot because I have terribly shaped ears and usually with earbuds they tend to fall out of my ears a lot so I can't imagine that a lot of people will complain about comfort but it is pretty cool that they've included these in case you're doing some extreme activities and you need that extra secure fit now something I really like about the style of earbuds is that is great for working out due to that secure fit from the neck band but unfortunately unlike the power beats these are a sweat proof so if you tend to get drenched when working out you might want to be careful with these something you'll notice with these earbuds that have this neck band is that they have different styles of cable management some are retractable something's a clip but the beats X uses the magnet to keep the two earbuds together unlike other earbuds that come in this form factor though these still have an inline remote on the earbud cable which at least makes it easier to reach those audio controls they'll also launch with four different colors you can choose from and if these get the typical beat treatment I'm sure you can expect some more colors in the future now these are packing eight hours of battery life but the kicker with these is that there's got this fast fuel feature that allows you to get two hours of listening with five minutes of charging and that is insane if you have to take these anywhere and they died on you all you have to do is plug them in for a few minutes and you'll be up and running and if you plug them up for 45 minutes you'll get a full charge now one of my favorite things about the beats X is that it includes Apple's new w1 chip this makes paying with an iPhone as simple as pressing the power button for one second hitting connect on your iPhone and boom you're all done this is the best way to pair of bluetooth headphones that I've seen so far because it's just so fast another nice bonus if you're in the Apple ecosystem is that you're able to use this with other devices connected to your iCloud account by just selecting beats from the menu no having to pair all over again to a new device just select it from the menu but if you're not in the Apple ecosystem no worries just use the power button to pair it like any other bluetooth headphones now let's talk about sound quality honestly I think these are great I put these through the ringer with a ton of different genres and I'm walking away with no complaint the sound was clear the bass was definitely punchy but in no way overpowering and the vocals were clean now obviously I'm not going to call this perfect because sound is subjective but I really can't imagine what someone would complain about unless they're looking for something that has a really flat sound but you're not really going to find all consumer grade headphones because these are meant to be a lot more fun for 150 bucks I do think these are great Buy and if I had to nitpick I would probably say that the sweat proofing I wish that was included but I do understand that the power beats do exist so if you're looking for in earbuds that can handle a heavy workout they've already got something to cover that also maybe the travel case I'm not too crazy about it it'll definitely protect it here but but I do wish that there was some way that I could seal the earbuds in instead of having that open flap but I do think 150 is a fair price these are really solid pair of earbuds a lot better than I expected I thought they were going to be something on the lower end since they were a little inexpensive for the beats line but they actually managed to surprise me and I think it's safe to say that since Apple took over beats we've only seen improvements in the line and the beats X continues that but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy or girl that give this video a thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer peace
