Beats by Dre is still making people feel cool, now with added flair—and they are beating the frenzy that is the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack.
Beats just launched new products and upgrades to some of their bread-and-butter items. Wireless earphones BeatsX, along with the next generation of two current bestsellers, Powerbeats3 Wireless earphones and Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones, make this headphone line still a leader in classy, cool musical products (because Dr. Dre!). But what else? They include the Apple W1 chip, Class 1 Bluetooth and Fast Fuel charge, which basically means they dance around the headphone jack issue, can go wireless and charge up like a boss.
“Beats has always been dedicated to delivering the best possible music listening experience,” said Beats president Luke Wood. “Now that almost everything we consume in media has a sound component, superior audio playback quality is key. With our new product, we are delivering great design, innovation and sound so that you can hear everything the way the content creators imagined.”
BeatsX
BeatsX has stellar sound quality, and its simplistic and somewhat traditional design keeps the ‘phones extremely light and nearly unnoticeable while wearing. It’s compatible with all our favorite devices and—wait, what?!—can hold up to two hours of battery after only a 5-minute charge. The RemoteTalk allows you to take calls, play music and activate your favorite friend—Siri.
BeatsX will be available this Fall 2016 in black and white for $150 (US) from Apple’s retail stores in the US, Apple.com and authorized resellers. At launch, BeatsX will be available in black and white, with additional colors to follow.
