The Beats Flex Wireless Earphones are a lightweight, neckband-style set of earbuds built for everyday listening on the go. Magnetic earbuds snap together around your neck when not in use, so you never have to worry about losing them or setting them down on a dirty surface. The flexible cable is designed with a nickel titanium core, letting it bend and twist without kinking or breaking over time. Powered by the Apple W1 chip, these earbuds pair instantly with iPhones and other Apple devices, while remaining fully compatible with Android phones through standard Bluetooth pairing. A single charge delivers up to twelve hours of playback, and if you are ever caught with a low battery, a quick ten minute charge using the included USB-C cable provides about ninety minutes of listening time. Built in controls on the cable let you adjust volume, skip tracks, and answer calls without pulling out your phone. Beyond the core listening experience, the Beats Flex includes multiple ear tip sizes for a customizable fit, awareness of ambient sound thanks to open ear tips, and a durable sweat and weather resistant build suited for workouts or daily commutes. Whether you are heading to the gym, working from a coffee shop, or traveling, this earbud offers a no fuss wireless audio solution that stays comfortably around your neck between uses.

Great for workouts — Marcus T. (2024-02-14)
These stay put no matter how much I move around at the gym. The magnetic clasp is a nice touch too.
Good value — Priya S. (2024-01-22)
Sound quality is decent, not amazing, but for the price I am happy. Battery life is honestly excellent.
Wish it had ANC — Danny R. (2023-12-30)
Comfortable and easy to use, but I do miss noise cancellation on my commute. Still solid overall.
Perfect for travel — Elena K. (2023-11-18)
Fast charging saved me during a long layover. Love that I can just wear them around my neck between flights.
Reliable daily driver — Josh M. (2023-10-05)
Pairing with my iPhone is instant every time. Bass is a bit light but overall a dependable pair.
