BeatsX wireless headphones are finally on sale. One of the few headphones on the market that uses
Both devices have the same price tag and boththey are practically developed by one manufacturer, but nevertheless they use different approaches to wireless audio stream. So which device is better to buy? We will help you in making a decision.
Design
For two headphones developed by the companyApple, they have very different design philosophies. The difference between them can be compared to “wireless” and “no wires at all.” BeatsX headphones are wireless, but have a wire that connects both earbuds and is located behind your neck. AirPods headphones are notorious for not having a wire at all and are used independently of each other.
And although there are not many users,dissatisfied with how AirPods sit and neatly fit in the ears, but it's easy to see how many people prefer the BeatsX design. In case one of the AirPods earphones really falls out, then good luck in your search, especially while on the go.
The plus is the fact that the headphonesBeatsX uses silicone earmolds and a remote control for play / pause and volume. The presence of these features makes these headphones the best choice for use in jogging and intense exercise. The “wireless” concept used in the design is perhaps less secure in terms of losses compared to headphones, say PowerBeats3, but it clearly wins the “no wire” concept when it comes to running exercises.
Sound quality
Don't buy AirPods if you...want superior sound quality. Apple's advertising, of course, doesn't mention this. Almost all reviewers noted that they sound like traditional wired EarPods, like the ones that come with the iPhone. If you put them on, then there is nothing to brag about.
Early BeatsX headphone reviews indicate that theThey have good bass and they have good sound insulation. Which is not surprising, thanks to the presence of silicone nozzles, which usually block well any sounds from the outside. AirPods do not have these tips, so they just sit in your ears. AirPods are not suitable for you if you are often in noisy places.
But it should be noted that they’re not quite terriblesounding. Both models of AirPods and BeatsX headphones do an excellent job of reproducing sounds at a decent level. But if you're picky about sound quality, then definitely choose BeatsX headphones.
Wireless Features
In this regard, both devices are not much different.from each other, since both devices use the W 1 chip developed by Apple. In this case, it is worth mentioning again that there will be something to be proud of if you buy at least one of the two devices on offer.
Using the W1 chip allows devicesBeatsX and AirPods instantly pair with iOS devices. If you hold the accessories next to your Mac computer, iPhone or iPad, you will immediately receive a connection request. One click and you are already in the “game”. There is no need to fiddle with Bluetooth protocol settings.
The plus is the fact that theseHeadphones are registered in your iCloud service account, thus providing access to them from any of your devices. When approaching your computer, both AirPods and BeatsX devices will switch to the computer’s audio stream.
BeatsX and AirPods work great andwith devices based on Android OS, but the experience with Apple products here really surpasses that of Android products. In this category, devices work the same. But participation in the work of the W1 chip has the most positive effect on battery life, but this is the topic of a separate section.
Battery life
Battery life is incredibleboth BeatsX and AirPods, but each one offers its own advantages in its own way. BeatsX headphones offer eight hours of continuous use, which is on par with market leaders such as Jaybird X3 headphones.
An added bonus is the fact thata five-minute charge of BeatsX headphones gives you an extra two hours of play time. This is an incredibly nice feature of these headphones. Simple charging for a miserable five minutes and you can watch a full-length movie.
AirPods Headphones Provide Continuoussounding for five hours versus eight hours for BeatsX. Nevertheless, the presence of the case-charger, which automatically recharges the headphones when placing them in the case, provides 24 hours of operation. Recharging these headphones will mean that they will have to be pulled out of your ears more often, but the case will allow you to use the headphones longer if there is no nearby outlet, than in the case of BeatsX headphones.
In this case, everything will depend on yourheadphone preferences and practices. What do you need: long continuous use or shorter, but more travel-oriented use? Let's just say: BeatsX is more suitable for long flights, and AirPods are ideal in situations of a long working day, when you are constantly distracted and pull them out.
Prices
BeatsX headphones are currently on sale for 10,990.00 rub. ($149.95). Apple AirPods headphones are sold for RUB 11,990.00. ($159). In terms of cost, they are almost on par, but nevertheless AirPods are 1000 rubles more expensive. But if the amount of accumulated money is around the 5,000 ruble mark, then 1,000 rubles no longer play any role.
If you need superior quality headphones,then I would recommend BeatsX. The better sound quality and their more comfortable wearing are the main advantages that allow them to win the race with Apple AirPods. Even if you are very far from playing sports, then the difference between them is sufficient.
At the same time, if your preferences are more freedom from wires and longer battery life, more than eight hours, then AirPods headphones may be for you. Enjoy the shopping.
