"Awesome! Suits me just fine for regular gym use! It would have been good to have a bit more quality bass but really that's just asking for too much. No issues at all.. sweat all over them haven't had any problems. Cable light enough not to get in the way when I'm jumping around or sprinting.

I went back to the store when I discovered this product is suitable for iPhone and not for Android. I asked a staff member, Ross, if I could get an exchange. Instead, he had another team member to connect this product to my android phone. It worked but it is not a good fit as it still turn on/off automatically till to-date. Should have gone to JB Hifi.

Needs better ear peiece

Hey, did you hear the news, Apple owns Beats now. OK, so it's not exactly new news, it happened years ago, but it's still a pretty big deal, and important for what we're going to say next.

Comfortable; cool; secure design; Impressive Bluetooth connection; Brilliant battery life

No noise cancelling; Let in a bit of wind noise; Not the deepest sound

The Powerbeats3 don't look all that different from . There are a few tweaks here and there, mostly aimed at getting them to fit better. The primary distinction is tucked away inside, a happy addition to the Bluetooth earbuds that arrives as a result of the headphone company's acquisition by Apple.

When Apple made their big iPhone 7 announcement in September, they managed to carve out the smallest sliver of time to introduce three new Beats products - the first set to directly benefit from the Apple's acquisition of Beats.

Fantastic bass response for a pair of wireless in-ears; great all-around sound quality; can get very loud; 12-hour battery life is stellar; fast charging is great in a pinch; W1 chip makes pairing with Apple devices a breeze

Poor fit relative to competing products; outer earhooks can be uncomfortable; some Bluetooth connectivity issues around walls (even at short range

If you're a fan of the Beats line and you own an iPhone 7, then these headphones are clearly the best choice for you, thanks to the W1 chip. Even without an iPhone, there are still plenty of benefits from the Powerbeats3 . They are very durable, and the battery lasts for a long time.

It's the combination of the W1 chip, smart construction and good sound that makes the Beats X an easy recommendation at $129. That may be a tall order for some looking for a simple pair of earphones.

W1 chip = simple pairing and super long range; Decent sound; Long battery life; Lightning cable charging

Relatively expensive, Not the best sound you could get for the price vs; wired earphones

You know how when you get a new pair of headphones, taking them out of the box is always a task You always end up ripping the box to bits because the headphone cable is tangled throughout and hidden away behind plastic and cardboard. But not Beats' new BeatsX wireless headphones.

There's something remarkable about the new Beats X earphones. It's not so much their sound quality - which is pretty good - nor is it the rubbery build, their wirelessness or the ease with which they rest in your ears.
