Good news: AirPods will just barely make it in time before Christmas. Bad news: Apple's other pair of highly anticipated wireless headphones, BeatsX, are delayed until February. 。
The wireless earphones were announced alongside the AirPods and iPhone 7 back in September and were originally slated for launch by the end of the year. 。
SEE ALSO:After long delay Apple's AirPods are finally on sale 。The delay of AirPods is believed to be one possible reason for pushing back BeatsX. Though it's only a guess, it's possible Apple wasn't able to secure enough W1 wireless chips to meet the demand for AirPods and BeatsX this year. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
Both the AirPods and BeatsX sport Apple's W1 chip, which pulls double duty for making Bluetooth pairing easier with iOS devices, Mac and Apple Watch, and as a power manager to help improve battery life.。
BeatsX wireless earphones get up to eight hours of battery life, which is exceptionally long compared to the competition; it's three hours longer than the AirPods. Unlike Beats' other W1-equipped wireless headphones (i.e. Powerbeats 3), the BeatsX aren't as chunky and heavy on the ears, making them more ideal for use while working out or running. 。
It sucks whenever any product is delayed, but if you've waited to buy the $150 BeatsX, what's another two months?
