we're going on guys to traverse consumer and today we've got a showdown we're gonna be comparing two brand new beep X versus the jaybird X threes you guys practically begging for this so let's do this so in typical showdown fashion we've got to start off with the design and since the Beast X or newer we'll start with these as you can see it has this new flex form cable which pretty much fits around your neck and the ear buds pretty much does chill here which actually is pretty nice in terms of keeping them in but we'll get on that in a bit but they do have these two interesting little I don't know lumps over here I guess you can say for lack of a better term but this is where you charge them you have your power switch the batteries probably inside of there as well so it's got an interesting look to it but honestly I think that the j-bert X threes look quite a bit cleaner these are really sleek but only has the inline remote and has a pretty short cable so it'll go around the neck put these in and these are really really low-key so in terms of design and looks I think I'm going to give it to the x3 I like how low-profile they are and there's not a lot of cable to mess around with really short easy booming and it's funny because beats has this reputation of focusing on looks over function and olympians I feel like it's kind of the opposite which leads to the next category which is comfort now I've said in previous videos that was never a fan of earbuds with this neck band design goes around your neck kind of sits there whenever I saw people with it was what was it like the LG tones I believe those one of the first ones that really came out with this kind of look I always thought it looked really weird but man after trying it my mind has been changed to me this is completely function over form all of the earbuds that I've tried with this neck band design I've had no issues with ear buds falling out because there's no extra weight being pulled down on it like with something with the expertise now the expertise even though it has a very short cable it still has this inline remote so whenever you're running around with them there's a good chanting my fallout just do a straight-up gravity where that's not an issue here but to be completely honest just like with my j-bird x2 when I use the included foam tips these have a much better time staying in my ear but they still don't compare to having something like this around your neck giving it some extra support not to mention the ear buds are pretty solid and expand the year with no problem so I got to give it to the beats X in terms of comfort now in terms of what you get you've got very similar items all across you of course have your ear tips in case you wants to tip the size the X threes also come with foam tip which I find very useful because it helps me to say in my ears a bit better I don't really need that with the beats X in sense that flexible on cable but if you need a really secure fit they both also include wingtips but to me I think the real key difference here are these travel cases and I feel about the beats X I wasn't so crazy about the travel case because it doesn't close all the way you can't really feel this while the X threes the case has this magnetic clamp so that you can have everything stuffed right inside of here and not worry about anything falling out not quite the case with the beats X case computer slash that's okay and the extras also come with these little clips if you want to make your cable shorter so in terms of accessories the travel case is a pretty big deal to me so I gotta give it to the ex trees now in terms of battery life you probably think there's a tie because they both feature about 8 hours of playback but I've got to give it to the beats X for a couple of reasons the beats X introduced this fast fuel feature that allows you to get 2 hours of playback with 5 minutes of charging which is crazy so imagine this you're driving through the library or the gym or whatever and you realize you forgot to charge these last night plug them in your car for five minutes and you've got two solid hours of playback that's the kind of thing that changes the way you look at the battery life and let's talk about the way you charge these the B's X uses a lightning cable a very common cable then if you happen to be an iPhone owner chances are you already have a spare so easy to charge even if you forget both cables there's a good chance you can borrow someone else's so charging this is no problem but with the X threes they've got a proprietary cable which means is going to be a lot harder to charge these in case you forgot them so if you're on a trip or something and you forgot this little adapter this is going to be a good chance you're not going to be able to use your expertise once they die you're not going to find somebody carrying this guy around so being able to charge the beeps ex with a lightning cable is a huge win over the X threes proprietary cable because if you forget this you're pretty screwed or even if you lose it you've got to go and buy another one which cost like 10 bucks but even as of right now this is sold out on their site so you're going to be pretty screwed if anything happens to this and I'm sure that's a deal breaker for a lot of people so in terms of battery and charging I've got to give it to the beat back now let's talk about these features these are both obviously Bluetooth earbuds so they're wireless they got all the bootys features inline remote yada-yada control your music without touching your phone typical stuff but they've got some special things up their sleeves and let's start off with beats X again so with the beat X if you happen to be an iPhone user you've got the w1 chip which makes an initial pairing of it very smooth and very simple all you've got to do is power it on next to your iPhone a little screen will pop up you press connect and boom you're done you got a paired super simple and that's the only time you have to use this feature but it makes pairing super fast and super easy but what's really cool about this feature is that if you're in the Apple ecosystem you can connect it to any other device that's connected to your iCloud account which could completely eliminate the pairing process for a lot of devices so for me I think that's a really awesome feature of course already mentioned that fast fuel which is pretty insane and really helpful and they've also got a magnetic clasp for both earbuds so should stop them from shifting all over the place keeps them together nice and neat got some good cable management going but with the x3 if you decide it's about listening for a bit and you leave them on your neck like this I've had the experience of these falling off from walking around so you've got to be careful with that something you'll have to worry about with the beep but let's talk about the x3 features I think one of the biggest ones right now is that these are sweat proof so if you plan on using these for the gym a ton and you happen to sweat profusely these will not clock out on you because of that personally I don't support a time when working out but it's nice to have that extra insurance and while being sweat proof might not be a big deal to me the app this thing has available definitely is within that app you're able to switch up the sound quality the X threes at the drop of a hat so if you happen to like a little bit more bass you can switch that up and get that or maybe if you like it tone down a bit more you can switch it to get whatever kind of sound quality you're looking for out of these and it handles that really well well that's a really cool feature if gear towards the more advanced user I can't imagine the average person picking up a pair of expertise is going to jump into the app and start tweaking all the settings so they can get the right sound quality if I give this to someone like Ari she probably will use this as is what it has a thing and I got to say guys it is really hard to pick a winner between the two of these because they both have some really awesome features but I think I got to go with the beat X because that w1 chip and the fast fuel teacher definitely sold me and here's the music category price beats X go for 150 X J's go for 130 $20 difference X Series win now if we've collied up each category you'd notice we've got a bit of a tie going on but we haven't talked about sounds which is one of the most important categories now after testing these both out quite a bit my findings were very very surprising we've had this reputation of being all based and nothing else but the beat X actually sounded very clear and the base was punchy but definitely not overwhelming songs had a nice amount but definitely very contained but with the X threes on their signature sound without jumping into the app and changing any of the settings these have way more bass way more based into X's and I was shocked to see that I love based oh I don't mind but if you're not into a lot of things you're going to have to jump into the X threes app and change that now this is kind of where I give the x3 the leg up the fact that you're able to jump in the app and start tuning it and changing all kinds of things like the base and all the travel all that stuff you can change that here but you don't have that flexibility with the beat X so because you have the ability to customize this to the perfect sound for you I gotta give sound quality over to the x3 and since Alan was a tie breaker for the showdown the overall winner are the X threes but let's be completely honest here guys this was not an easy showdown by any means and they both actually have some deal breakers between them that could swing your choice in any direction the fact that these aren't a sweat proof that might be a bill breaker for a lot of people and for the extras that we're charging situation that's something that a lot of people don't want to deal with and personally I think I'd have an easier time grabbing the X's and not because their beats but just because of the convenience of being able to grab these charge them with the lightning cable and heck even if you weren't talking about the exes even with something like my song is over here I've grabbed these over to j-bird to convenience is starting to be a big deal for me especially since I travel a lot so something that uses a micro USB to charge or lightning cable is a lot easier than this but you're still the winner but hopefully you guys enjoyed this video shout out to the expertise for taking the win today if you enjoyed it be the cool guy and go like this video thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer peace
