  • Better sound than what, an actual apple?

    • Are you implying that i should've compared it to other thousands of similar form factor available earphones and mention that in the description or are you trying to say these sound so bad that an apple sounds better?
      In both cases, your comment does not make sense.

      If you ask nicely then i say, i apologize, i should have mentioned 'compared to previous versions'.
      And mention that this is my first time posting a deal as i think it is a good deal for this product.

        Just FYI, apple engineers tuning a sound, doesn't make it good, nor does it actually mean anything. I think that's all they meant. Apple has no pedigree in sound tuning or signature. Not saying these don't sound good, just commenting on your description

          It kind of does tho…

        • What i was trying to say was that when beats were not part of Apple it had overly Bassey sound and overall sound signature was not that great as the brand name itself was.
          Since apple took over, each one of their earphones have a higher quality sound and controlled but loud enough bass and overall better sounding earphones.
          So, yes, According to my experience apple engineers tuning sound does make a difference. You may not agree to it, and i can respect your opinion. But i have seen a ton of reviews mentioning what i mentioned above.

          • @dealdoodler: Yes, they're far better than previous beats. Thank you for your opinion.

            Bass Amount
            1.75 db
            Treble Amount
            -3.41 db

            Now, this is by far better than previous generations, but this is still bad, unless you love bass and hate Treble. That's from rtings, not a review but actual measurements. You miss a lot of the bass as it doesn't seal well at all.

              @onlinepred: User experience is what matters to most people and that's why reviewing stuff is a whole career,
              For other 5% of consumers who give more importance to numbers, yes you are probably right.

              And for Airpods, it is 8 billion dollar business for apple(if you want numbers)
              Fortune 500 by itself.

              Hence, going by the numbers they sell, most people agree that apple makes good sounding earphones.

              That's all.

              Please list a $128 earphones with better sound.

              • @dealdoodler: You are right, that's all there is to it. The wired airpods are the best sounding buds ever created as they sold the most of a single product. They cost far less than these beats sports earbuds. You have pointed yourself in the right direction. You need to sell these and upgrade to the biggest selling earbuds of all time because sales = audio quality to 95% of users. Good luck!

        • I think youll find Apple are capable of hiring 1st rate sound engineers or at least hiring the services of an organisation with 1st rate credentials, without sweating. Not saying they did… just commenting on your assertion.

          • @Tuba: I'm sure they can, having had the airpod wired, airpod wireless 1, and airpod pro, I can confidently say they haven't hired those people yet

      • Have these and agree that these sound better than older Beats headphones.

        Better sound than what, an actual apple?

        @Kundi stop being a snob. These are $128. Suggest something better in the price range with similar features and you’d have had a leg to stand on.

        Certified bargain op, good find!

  • Good deal but no stock available anywhere unfortunately

  • I have the pro version (true wireless) and honestly, couldn't be happier with them. The sound is damn good.
    For $128, well worth it.

  • Not sure why the site didnt show white for me but South Melbourne had some in stock when I was there before this deal was posted. White, black and that red one.
    For this price they are great if you can still find some. I like the way they sit on my ears compared to some others so have stuck with these for a while.
