these are fifty dollars, fifty dollars! - because they say up to twelve
hours - ah there's no remote- okay I'm interested to try theirs out.
Hi y’all, it's Annelies and your girl went to the Apple store today to pick up some things,
and yes I did get the new solo loop it's the wrong size I have to exchange it, but the main
star of the show is the new Beats Flex. As soon as I heard about these guys I wanted to get my hands
on them because although I do love my AirPods, which are in this really cute Baymax case, I
really loved my Beats X and from the looks of it these guys looking awful like the Beats X,
but at a way cheaper price tag than these Beats X were when I got them so I'm gonna go ahead and
open these up give you my first impressions and see if these are the type of headphones that you
want to be spending your money on. so these are the Beats Flex that I picked up today they come in
a way smaller box than the Beats X ever did, but let's go ahead and open up the box I haven't done
an unboxing in so long this is like so exciting even though this is just like a tiny little gadget
of headphones that are not gonna be my daily driver headphones unless if they're amazing like
who knows there's not a lot going on in here oh interesting okay things I'm seeing right off the
bat before we get to the headphones we have this thing which I'm assuming holds like the papers the
earbuds but most importantly right now the charging cable now I read something on the
box that made me not sure of what type of cable was in here but this is in fact a USB-C to USB-C
charging cable which I mean cool that we're moving towards USB-C for everything like iPhone 13 with
USB-C who knows but I'm surprised they made this choice when they just came out with an iPhone
that's lightning connected maybe this is supposed to be more marketed towards the not necessarily
iPhone users because I feel like AirPods are definitely marketed towards the iPhone users I
don't know something that points out right here on the packaging is fast fuel is 10 minutes of
charging gives you an hour and a half of playback time which I find interesting because 15 minutes
of charge on the AirPods gives you three hours of playback so in the package you have your standard
like regular in-ear earbud type dealios and then contrary to the Beats X you get three different
attachments which look like a small a large and then what I would consider to be an active tip
in the middle where it has these like two domes on top of each other kind of like a half snowman
and i've used these types of in ear pieces before and they're meant to be better for working out
but then that's what the wing tips came with the Beats X I don't know I'm interested to try theirs
out do we get any precious Apple stickers got a beet sticker so excited to put that on something
now I don't know if y'all have seen my review on the Beats X but before I got my AirPods
these were my headphones that I used every day I used them at the gym I used them for phone calls
video editing everything at even at some point I started using them to sleep in
because I had roommates like people sharing the same room with me and I like listening to like
music before I go to bed so I would sleep in these these are amazing long lasting headphones
so to see that they came out with like a new generation of it that claimed to have I believe
better battery life because they say up to 12 hours but these also look the same so I
don't know let's just check it out feel wise something that I can tell right away is that
I think maybe because i've had these for longer they feel more rubbery but this neck piece on
my Beats X and like the cable feel a lot more grippy and rubbery and on here it feels a lot
smoother but that could be because of like the oils in your skin or some nonsense like that
something I'm noticing right away too is that on this end of the the left side of your like neck
loop thing there seems to be a microphone there which oh there's no ah there's no remote okay
so on our Beats X we've got a remote in line so like your volume up your volume down Siri button
microphone is here so it hangs right about like mouth level from your ears so on the left hand
side you have your mic and then on the bottom you have your usb-c charge port and then on the top
it looks like we've got ourselves a volume rocker right there I cannot tell because there's no plus
or minus on there but I'm gonna assume that's what it is because there is no inline remote and on the
right hand side all you have is the power button so as you can see they're already magnetized
together that's one thing that I absolutely loved about the Beats X is that they magnetize
at the bottom they kind of magnetize like a little necklace at the bottom which I always thought was
really cool because then you could just drop them out of your ears and they kind of found
their way together now something interesting that I just learned about these is that apparently now
when they magnetize together it is the same as like when you take out an AirPod and it pauses
your music when they magnetize they pause so I'm definitely gonna test that out but now that we're
unboxed let's go ahead and get a little bit of a first impressions check I'm gonna power them on
what apparently I need a software update to get some features of this
audio accessory require a newer version of iOS setup with limited functionality
let me update my iOS I'll be back. Okay, here's the thing, it's taking too long
and I'm impatient and I also read the description for this update I don't see anything about hearing
updates of the wireless thing sorts so… I'm just going to connect these bad boys because I just
want to get them connected, and also I wanna finish this video. So limited functionality,
the same sound (bad dum bad dum dum dah dum) that the other ones do, so... oh,
something I noticed while I was just sitting here like screwing around is there is an
extra button on the left hand side let's find out what that's for...
oh it's playing oh this volume rocker in the middle is not like the inline remote on the Beats
X because there's actually like the Siri button so I think this is our play pause Siri let's see,
it is okay, we're gonna play this song um obviously you don't get to hear it
but it's one of my new favorite songs it's called Little by either Jany or Johnny green
so far there's a lot of detail
okay I'm going to switch to a podcast just to get some straight talking audio for a second,
it sounds really clear. Okay, let's switch to a different podcast. Okay,
I have to say my volume is like more than halfway up, but it sounds really clear just
because I want to for the sake of like this little first impressions I am gonna try out
the Beats X with this I feel like the audio is the same let's give this a go now something that
is really cool about the Beats Flex is that they are accompanied with the same W1 chip
of the Beats X and the original AirPods so you get a lot of the cool connectivity things it's
easy pairing the same way you do with an AirPods just when you turn them on boom they get paired
right away and they're also synced to all your devices within the same iCloud account just like
the AirPods do so that's really cool now the current AirPods have the H1 chip so they are a
little bit ahead and I'm not entirely sure of what the difference is between the H1 and the W1 chip
are but it still has the same great W1 chip that I love with the i've got too many things around
my neck right now with the Beats X so let's just see how with this podcast how these guys sound
okay we're going back to Beats Flex oh that's really cool so soon as I disconnected we haven't
even tested out the play pause yet as soon as I unmagnetized them it's automatically switched
to Beats Flex you know what I can't really tell the difference right now which is pretty exciting
considering that these I don't know if i've mentioned this at all yet in this video but
hopefully I'll put something earlier because you need to know that these are only 50 dollar
headphones what that's amazing, and so far I think they are pretty comparable to the Beats X so I'm
I'm so far I'm jamming um now let's go ahead and chest the a quick um sound check on these bad boys
okay so I'm just recording a voice memo right now using the mic with the Beats Flex so I think I'm
actually going to include the voice memo in this video so if I did this right the audio you're
hearing right now is directly from the Beats Flex let me know in the comments how do you think it
sounds. I don't know how it sounds yet but the Beats X never had an amazing microphone but I
think as long as it works and honestly the AirPods don't have a great mic either so as long as you're
able to be heard I think that's what's most important you're not going to be able to record
voiceovers or a podcast using these headphones probably but if you can get the thing done with
maybe making a voice memo maybe making a phone call and doing a FaceTime call that's that is what
is most important to I feel like the average user okay just because I need to know how it sounds
okay so I mean that's not perfect but I i think that's pretty good also remember folks
these are 50 50 and the sound is honestly I'm so happy with it because I watched a review or two
and people were saying they were very unimpressed by the sound and I was kind of worried that they
were comparing them to the Beats X and saying that they were worse than these and to know that
if you're somebody who is wanting a good quality hair of Apple wireless headphones and honestly the
one thing I do miss about my AirPods like about my Beats X now flex whatever is if I'm wearing them
and I'm talking to somebody oh I can just rip them out of my head and here they are they sit
around my neck I'm definitely gonna do an in-depth review on these after i've had them for oh yeah
These are great, so far I'm jamming with these, just getting these out
of the package and up and running and I'm not even on the latest operating system,
so who knows what that's going to include but I am definitely going to do a review
on these guys because like I said I love my Beats X and I'm so spoiled with my AirPods,
but maybe you don't want to or can't afford to spend AirPods money they're in there I promise
but you've got 50 bucks to get a nice pair of headphones I loved working out on my Beats X
so but so far I honestly thought I was just going to return these after reviewing them
but I think I'm going to hold on to them because I these have been through the ringer and uh
I don't know, I don't know just, just so you know I'm not like an audio file or anything like that
so if you want like a big audiophile fans review go check out somebody else there's probably a lot
of great reviews out there but I'm just I'm just your average girl on the YouTubes who loves tech
