Thanks for the review. I just picked up some AirPods and likely won't be getting any other BT headphones anytime soon but it's good to learn about the other options available and the differences between them.

Nice review and thanks for letting us know that the BeatsX has more bass and has pretty good noise cancellation. Keen to wait for your one month on the BeatsX as well as a comparison review with the AirPods.

Picked up a black pair today. They sound really good. I wouldn't call them bass heavy. Listened some EDM and the bass is strong as it is supposed to be, but it is clear and not overwhelming the mix. The free three months of Apple Music translates into an Apple Music gift card value that goes into your account. So it looks like you can do the free 3 months if you have not and then use the gift card value after that. Not to sign up for Apple Music.

Anyone else having issues with the wingtips? They don't seem to match up with the designated L and R on the earbuds. Once you put the wingtips on the L only fits in the right ear, and the R only fits in the left ear. Both sets of wingtips have this issue. Did anyone else find this to be true?
