Telstra.com is selling black BeatsX wireless earphones for $96 delivered.
Next cheapest price (other than Megabuy) is JB/Harvey Norman/Officeworks (possible price beat @ Officeworks) for $139.
I have no views as to the quality but not bad for branded wireless bluetooth earphones…
I prefer my BeatsX over my X2s as far as sound goes, and the longer cable between that “sits still” works better for me.
I've been using jaybird freedoms for over 2 years now and love them. How do these compare?
I've owned one for a year until I lost it. Sound quality is decent, definitely not worth the original price of $199 when launched, but I'd recommend it for $96. It has the W1 chip, so you can switch between devices easily, worked with android as well although there was a slight delay when switching between android and ios. Battery life is alright. I bought a soundpeats for around $40 (forgot the name, but looks almost similar to beatsX) after I lost the beats X. The sound quality is at par with beats and has amazing battery life. I am not going back to beats although I am quite tempted by the W1 chip and price.
if you have been using some kind of other headset then you are good those are better than this beat. full stop.
Brother got this. Soundpeats is better
I bought them a while ago and the left earbud suddenly stopped working in less than a year. I think it was due to my sweat but I expected it to resist that. The wire is quite long as well which isn't very running friendly.
Similar thing happened to mine - left earbud lost most of it's volume after 6 months. Got them repaired and then it happened again after another 6 months so they replaced them with a new set.
Apple will replace if under 1 year.
I know Beats are the brand people love to hate, a reputation it mostly deserves, but I think for this price it's a good pick. I have these, and I like them. I switched from Jaybird Freedom's because I could just not get a good seal with any of the supplied tips.
I use these for running, to my ear they sound good and I've never had to fiddle with the tips. The easy pairing with the watch is nice. Just a warning that they're only water/sweat resistant, not water proof, so be careful in the rain (I have run in the rain a few times w/o issue, but I realise I would be SOL if they broke due to it).
I got it on sept 2017. I already replaced it twice and seems like it will be thrice soon(led is not working properly). They don’t last long.
Got these at $159 a few years ago, and would recommend at $96.
I use these daily at the gym for 15 months. Decent audio for Beats when used with Comply Foam tips. Great price.
Been using these for a Year … find the volume a a bit on the low side …anybody else ?
Not too shabby for me otherwise.
Does anyone know with the warranty if you’re able to take them to a Genius Bar (as Beats is owned by Apple) or do you need to go back to Beats?
Been using them daily since release , sounds okay and easy to connect to devices, just have to keep them clean
Do these have microphones and if so what's the call quality like?
I get complaints when I make calls with my QC35 so looking for a better alternative in a set of sports earphones
Yes, works well.
great price for a very decent paid of in ears
Telstra delivery is always very quick!
Ordered these yesterday around 11:30 AM and they were delivered at 9:15 AM this morning :)
Side note: These are the new version and they don't come with wingtips or the carrying case like the older version did.
Didn’t know that. I used to wear the wingtips but don’t seem to need them now. The carrying pouch has been a bit weird as it was always shove it in and hope for the best. Dust magnet too!
Seems back in stock.
How are these for working out? Been using Jaybird X2s
