The Beats Flex are a set of good value, feature-rich Bluetooth earbuds from Apple.They are significantly cheaper than their predecessors and Apple's AirPods, but little has been sacrificed in sound or function. The headphones have simple pairing, seamless...
It's a strong performance from such an affordable set of headphones - although you could argue that Apple is still profiting by no longer providing a set of headphones with new iPhones, thereby forcing many people to buy an extra set such as the Flex.Neve...

If there's one word to describe the Beats Flex, it's 'convenience'. The design is lightweight and easy to wear; the sound is well balanced and easy on the ears; the magnetic buds make playing, pausing and answering calls really easy; and the battery means...

Punchy lows, Durable build, Extra features for iOS users,
Treble is rounded off, Fit may be an issue,
If your budget can stretch northwards a little, Earfun's true wireless option bypasses potential cable noise, sounds better for detail through the higher frequencies and lasts longer before needing a charge.That said, the Beats Flex easily betters much of...

Beats Flex is a good pair of headphones and a decent choice if you're picking up an iPhone 12 and don't want to spend more on AirPods. The smarts that come from the W1 chip is great to have at this price and the sound quality is ok, if a bit flat.ProsSome...

The Flex are Beats most affordable earphones to date, and they're ever so close to being considered a bonafide bargain. The design is clever, the materials miraculous, and the price tag palatable. They're feature-rich, pack generous battery life, and pai...

The Beats Flex bring the brand-name wireless headphones to the masses at a lower price, but it's not without making some big sacrifices in sound quality and design. We don't love them as much as the top-tier AirPods Pro or even the Powerbeats Pro, but if...
