When not in use, the Flex's earpieces magnetically snap together, turning them into a sporty necklace and automatically pausing audio to save battery life. Listen to music, catch up on podcasts, make calls, and leave voice messages for up to 12 hours with an all-day battery pack, which tops up in 10 minutes using Fast Fuel charging for an additional 1.5 hours of playback.
If you're looking for stylish headphones that get you from point A to point B with some musical accompaniment, look no further than Beats Flex. But beware of wearing them during a sweaty workout or rainstorm; they lack an official IP rating, so it's not recommended you get them wet.
The good news is Beats' partnership with Apple means users can tap into the W1 chip for seamless pairing of the earphones to a nearby iOS device. Compatible with Bluetooth 5.0, two pairs of Flexes can even share the same sound source.
