However, Apple has since unveiled the Beats Flex earphones. These earphones are part of the Beats brand that is owned by Apple and could be a good alternative to the EarPods. We say “good” because these will most likely sound better than the EarPods, but they are also relatively affordable at just $50.
Plus they are also wireless which means that you don’t need to deal with cables or adapters to get it to work with the iPhone. They feature a similar neckband design to the BeatsX and also come with magnetic earbuds that can pause/play music when they are connected/disconnected from each other.
They also boast an impressive 12 hour battery life, a new acoustic driver, and also an improved microphone. While it probably won’t deliver audiophile grade quality, at $50 it does seem like a pretty reasonable price and could be a better option than the EarPods.
