As Apple announced new Airpods yesterday, they also talked about new Beats; Solo3 and Powerbeats 3 (the headphone company by Dre they bought for $3b) with wireless capabilities.
The $200 Powerbeats 3 wireless headphone allows up to 12 hours on batteries and is aimed at solving the problems of having to adjust earphones while on a quick run or any other form of workout for that matter.
BeatsX is cheaper than both Solo3 and Powerbeats. It promises 2 hour of playback on five minutes of charging via a Lightning cable. The $150 BeatsX can last up to 8 hours on full battery charge.
