These Budget-Friendly Beats Flex Earbuds Are 57% Off Right Now

While wireless earphones may be convenient and allow greater freedom of movement, wired Bluetooth headphones are harder to misplace and are significantly more affordable. THE Beats Flex Headphones are Apple’s budget-friendly wired neckband headphones, and right now they’re just $30.01 (originally $69.95) in black at Walmart, about 57% off the regular price.

If you’re in danger of losing your wireless earbuds, the Flex Earbuds snap into place magnetically when you’re not wearing them, allowing you to keep them securely around your neck. When they click together, the sound will automatically pause, saving your battery life. The tangle-free neckband design houses a charging port, microphones, and volume controls.

According to PCMag’s reviewwhich rates them as “Excellent”, they feature a secure in-ear fit with a design that eliminates cable pulling and deliver balanced sound with powerful bass with 8.2mm drivers. Battery life is approximately 12 hours on a full charge, and 10 minutes of “Fast Fuel” charging will give you approximately 90 minutes of listening time.

The headphones use Class 1 Bluetooth for extended range and Apple’s W1 chip for seamless pairing. Two pairs of Flex can share the same sound source; when a second pair is nearby, you will receive an on-screen prompt to connect. They are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and support AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs, but not AptX. Charging is done via USB-C. They don’t have an official IP rating, so you should be careful when wearing them in heavy rain.

If you don’t need active noise cancellation, water resistance and accept USB-C charging, the Beats Flex Headphones are an affordable option with bass-rich sound and Apple’s W1 chip, making them an especially good option for budget-conscious iOS users.
