When Beats first appeared on the scene in 2006, the company's headphones came in numerous loud colors with the signature stylized lowercase "b" adorned on the earcups or earbuds. Beats is now owned by Apple, which has had significant influence on the desi...

Apple's Beats X aren't perfect — but as a small set of noise-isolating wireless buds, they still might be the best of the bunch.For the last month, I've been actively testing all of Apple's W1-chip wireless headphones: The AirPods, PowerBeats 3, Beats S...

The best part of the Beats X and battery life? I don't notice it. The headphones have pretty much always exceeded my expected 8 hours of battery life, and its two-hours-for-five-minutes Lightning quick charge has been a huge boon whenever I've found mysel...

Last fall, Apple killed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 and tried to convince us all that we would be much happier with Bluetooth headphones instead. Apples flagship solution for all of that woe came by the way of the AirPods, $160 headphones with ab...

I've never been a fan of Beats headphones. Whenever I've given them a go, I've found the sound quality to be less than stellar, with far too much bass. So when Apple unveiled Beats X wireless headphones alongside the AirPods last fall, the weird-looking w...

Priced at $149, the Beats X run slightly less than the AirPods at $159. But in my opinion, they sound better and will definitely be a better fit for most people, thanks to the interchangeable buds and wingtips.This marks the first time I've been impressed...

It's hard to say precisely what took Beats X so long to arrive. Unlike Apple's own house-branded AirPods, the company didn't really start from scratch. Sure, it's a somewhat new form factor, but the wireless earbuds don't stray all that far from the comp...

When Apple released their iPhone 7 it was missing a certain 3.5mm jack that we've all come to assume was going to be there. Their reasoning was that everything is going to be wireless soon anyway. I'm still not a fan of getting rid of the headphone jack...

So that makes the BeatsX the winner. We didn't get to it, but another major factor to think about is price. At $149 the BeatsX are also the most affordable of the three. Of course, if you're in the market for a pair of fitness headphones obviously the Pow...

In-ear headphones (or earbuds) are great for portable listening — most can literally fit in your pocket — but you want a pair that offers up quality sound, too. The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute logged more than 20 straight days worth of music to test for sound quality, battery life, and comfort. Here are the ones they recommend for your daily commute, workout, and more.
