Back in 1992, when Dr. Dre's groundbreaking debut album "The Chronic" was released, it would be hard to imagine that the hip hop icon would be one day vastly more associated with an audio brand, Beats by Dr. Dre – but in 2017, web search volumes prove that it happened. Founded in 2006 and acquired by Apple in 2006, Beats focuses on premium (and hyped) consumer headphones and speakers, as well as car audio technology.

The Beats X earphones are among the brand's top products, offering up to 8 hours of playback per charge, and 2 hours after just 5 minutes of charging. The Beats X provide noise isolation, but have no sound cancellation technology, meaning no sound waves are created to oppose external noises; the manufacturer promises, though, "authentic, clear sound", and it's a truly comfortable in-ear option. Available in four colors (black, white, gray and blue), the Beats X come with eartips in four different sizes, and secure-fit wingtips can be bought separately for added stability. Its Flex-Form cable promises comfort, and a magnetic system ensures that your earbuds won't fall off your neck when not in use. Beats X are compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled device, although the compatibility of the built-in remote and microphone functions is only guaranteed for Apple devices – so if you don't intend to exclusively pair your earphones with one, you must keep that in mind.
