BlueTooth Showdown
Apple Airpods vs. Beats X Wireless headphones
I am a huge fan of Apple devices. I must admit before
February of this year I was not a fan of Bluetooth headphones. Why? They seemed
inconsistent with limited range. Although even my old ones from 2012 had
amazing sound. My 2016 ones were dope too but they broke. Albeit those
headphones wer like 15 dollars
In February of this year I say lemme get the Beats X
wireless headphones from Best Buy. I love Best Buy…its my 2nd home
lol. Luckily they were on sale for just $90 instead of $150. I love them. They
work like regular wireless headphones but they have the W1 chip which means
they connect to Apple devices very easily. And switching between devices is
simple too! The Beats X are just great. They come with lots of accessories too
like a charge cable (lighting) and different ear buds and sports buds.
Recently I got greedy and got the Apple Airpods. They are
frigging awesome. There’s so much technology packed into these little things.
If you raise them to your ear they start playing music or whatever your
listening to. Take one off or both and it will stop. Also if you tap them you
can access Siri or do next track. Its up to you…since they are customizable.
Also they have the aforementioned W1 Chip.
So we’ve seen what they can both do. So its time to give
them both a score to determine which is the best. Lets refer to the table.

Okay so first we’ll look at Design. Airpods get a slight
edge here for not having no wire. Battery Life is easily won by Beats X. They have
about twice as much battery, plus they can get like half there power back in 5
mins of charging! The sound quality for both are great but neither has much bass.
The airpods can be programmed and the Beats X have additional earbuds and earhooks…but
I give the edge to the Airpods. And finally I feel all things considered the way
the airpods charge via charger case is just so cool.
In Conclusion both of these are great Bluetooth headphones, but
the Apple Airpods are just something we haven’t seen before. So I give the
Beats X a 9.2/10. However the Airpods I give a 9.5/10…
APPLE FOREVER!
