The Beats audio range is known for its appeal to sportsmen, but mostly as a way of avoiding conversation while walking to and from the team coach. The Powerbeats3 Wireless, however, are suitable for use while actually doing exercise.They're Bluetooth-bas...

Price-wise these are on the high side for sporty headphones, but they do a fair job of justifying this.They stay on well and achieve a good, snug and largely sound-insulating fit, although clipping on the ear hooks can be a bit awkward. Design is fairly p...

The Powerbeats 3 aren't the best in-ears around from an audio perspective, but the fact they keep going and going, stay securely in your ears thanks to those ear hooks and pump the bass will be a huge draw to many. As will the W1 chip's pairing sequence...

When Apple released their iPhone 7 it was missing a certain 3.5mm jack that we've all come to assume was going to be there. Their reasoning was that everything is going to be wireless soon anyway. I'm still not a fan of getting rid of the headphone jack...

So that makes the BeatsX the winner. We didn't get to it, but another major factor to think about is price. At $149 the BeatsX are also the most affordable of the three. Of course, if you're in the market for a pair of fitness headphones obviously the Pow...

At $200, the Powerbeats3 are not exactly an impulse buy. In fact, Apple's own forthcoming AirPods (which also include the W1 chip, as well as a number of other advantages) are $40 cheaper. Still, the Powerbeats3 are priced at the same entry point as thei...
