Beats Flex

Lastly, if utility is more your focus—and you want to pay as little as possible for a pair of Beats earbuds without totally sacrificing quality—then the Beats Flex wireless earbuds are worth checking out, too. They’re not truly wireless, as the ’buds are attached via a small cable, but if you don’t mind that (or the fact that they’re not really sweat-resistant and don’t offer noise cancellation), then this budget-friendly set could serve you well, especially on sale. These ar e on sale for about $58 (down from $70), and while they don’t deliver the same pizzazz as the Fit Pros or the Powerbeats Pros do, they still offer a customizable fit, up to 12 hours of listening time, and connect easily to Bluetooth thanks to the Apple W1 chip included in the design.
