Beats Flex review: cheap connected wireless earbuds made for Apple users

 

The Beats Flex buds do work with Android but if you own an iPhone you'll be able to take advantage of more features

Flexible rubber neckband stops you losing them ; Work well with Apple products ; Comfortable and isolate noise well

Battery life and sound quality is just okay ; You can’t use all the features with Android ; Connecting cable is too long

These connected wireless earbuds are a bargain, they have loads to offer for Apple users. You can hook them up to the Apple Find My network and you can share your audio with other Beats headphones and Airpods. You will have to make some sacrifices in...

Beats Flex Wireless Earphones review

 

The new Beats Flex offer affordable wireless audio… with a few caveats.

Affordable price Fast-charging Auto-play/pause

Sound is a steep v-shape Tricky fit without wingtips Limited codec support

The Beats Flex bring the brand-name wireless headphones to the masses at a lower price, but it’s not without making some big sacrifices in sound quality and design. We don’t love them as much as the top-tier AirPods Pro or even the Powerbeats Pro, but...

Beats Flex review

 

Fun and fuss-free wireless Beats headphones

Punchy lows ; Durable build ; Extra features for iOS users

Treble is rounded off ; Fit may be an issue

A solid, decent-sounding set of entry-level wireless in-ears – and you’ll never worry about losing one

Beats Flex review: Brilliant if you're on a budget

 

Beats' neckband earphones might just be the best value for money that we've ever seen in this category.

Flexible and durable design ; Lightweight and convenient to wear ; Sound is genuinely brilliant for the money ; W1 chip for easy iPhone pairing

In-ear feel a bit pressured at times ; Fit sometimes needs adjusting as no ear fins ; No official waterproof rating (although is weather resistant)

It's hard to imagine a more complete pair of affordable neckband in-ears on the market right now, whether you're an iPhone or Android user. If all you need is something that stays around your neck all day and lets you conveniently answer calls and...

Beats Flex review

 

Beats goes affordable, but are the Flex a bonafide bargain?

Attractive price ; Versatile design ; Commendable battery life

Hit and miss sound ; Not true wireless ; No sweat or water resistance

So close to being brilliant, the Flex still represent fifty quid well spent

Beats Flex

  (Rating Hidden)

The Beats Flex are entry level corded wireless in-ear headphones from the popular Beats brand – they're the successors to the BeatsX model and very similar in design. But can they take on rival models from Sony and Bose, or does budget price mean...

Beats Flex review: More bass, more battery, half the price

 

Even if Apple had simply sliced the price of the BeatsX in half, we'd be happy, but the Flex's bigger battery, great sound, and auto-pause option seal the deal.

Great price ; Comfortable ; Very good sound quality ; Very good call quality ; Easy pairing with Apple products

Quick charging is slower than BeatsX ; Controls can be a bit finicky to use ; USB-C charging cable doesn’t fit regular USB ports ; No official IPX rating

Beats Flex Review

 

Affordable ; Powerful, bass-forward performance ; Apple's W1 chip provides seamless integration with iOS devices and audio sharing functionality

No water-resistance rating ; USB-C charging only

The Beats Flex earphones offers a bass-forward sound signature and the easy connectivity of Apple’s W1 chip for just $50.

Beats Flex review: wireless earbud basics done right

 

Lengthy battery life, easy-to-use controls, and decent sound quality.

Improved battery life ; USB-C connector ; Easy-to-use controls

Not rated for sweat resistance ; So-so noise isolation ; No automatic device switching

The new $49.99 Beats Flex are neckband-style earbuds with 12-hour battery life, easy-to-use controls, and decent sound quality. They’re the first Beats earbuds with a USB-C connector, a sign that the company is trying to appeal more to Android users.

Beats Flex Review – EarPods’ Eulogy

 

It's fair to say that the big Beats Flex news last week got buried under confirmation that you won't get headphones in the iPhone 12 box. Apple's thinking is that most people eith…

Most affordable Beats earbuds so far ; Apple W1 makes pairing easy ; Music quality punches above the price tag ; Great battery life

Doesn't get Apple's newest audio chipset ; Auto-pause is a little clunky ; Beats doesn't include a carrying pouch ; No water resistance
