The Beats Flex are a cheap pair of earbuds that are a solid choice for many people, but not everyone.
The Beats Flex wireless earphones were first released in 2021. But we still feel the same way about them now: they're affordable, but still premium, earbuds from Beats. They have traditional Beats sound with a traditional Beats design and many of the same features of other Beats headphones, but at a quintessentially non-Beats price.
Some of those included features are the Apple W1 Wireless Chip; a built-in sensor for auto-play/pause; a 12-hour battery life with Fast Fuel and, our personal favorite, a laser cut micro-venting chamber to reduce in-ear pressure. This is why they're one of our top picks in our best Beats headphones guide.
On paper, the Beats Flex are a great deal. But, spend some time with them, and you’ll understand why the price is what it is. Take a look at our best wireless earbuds guide and best budget wireless earbuds guide for alternatives. Read on for our full Beats Flex review.
•Available in four colors
•They cost $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$99.95
•A good price for a premium brand
The Beats Flex launched in January 2021 and came in four colors, Beats Black, Yuzu Yellow, Smoke Gray and Flame Blue.
The Beats Flex are $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$99.95. This makes them some of the cheapest wireless earbuds Beats has launched.
But you'll find plenty of similarly-priced alternatives from other brands. Check out our SoundMagic E11BT review, which cost $90 / £69.99 / AU$125. And take a look at our Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0 review for a cheap true wireless option at $99 / £99 / AU$185.
•Wireless, but not true wireless
•Slightly annoying neck band
•Cool sensor pauses music
Although Beats hasn’t said it to us directly, the Beats Flex seems to be a direct sequel to the older BeatsX Headphones that the brand released in 2016. Both are wireless (but not fully, take a look at our Beats Powerbeats Pro review or Apple AirPods review for true wireless alternatives) and look identical.
Beats Flex Specs
Colors: Black, Blue, Grey, Yellow
•It takes a while to find the right fit
•Clear, decent sound quality
•No noise cancellation
After trying a few combinations of eartips we eventually landed on a decent seal and were finally able to test out the Beats Flex’s audio quality. What we heard is pretty much what you’d expect – a deep v-shaped sound that accentuates the highs and lows of the audio spectrum at the expense of the mids.
In our two weeks with the headphones we listened to a bunch of songs on Amazon Prime Music and Spotify, and have a good idea of what you can expect in terms of sound quality. What we found was that the sound quality was actually relatively clear for a pair of in-ear drivers, however they don’t have a very large soundstage to the audio. Thankfully, there wasn’t any drop out or delay in the audio during our testing, which can be a problem with wireless models, so that stability is a huge boon for the Beats Flex.
While all songs mostly had the same steep v-shape, a few examples worth calling out were bass-heavy classics like Rick James’ Super Freak and the treble-rich Jackson 5’s ABC that truly exemplified the rich treble and chunky bass. Unfortunately these songs also highlight how anemic the mids sound, so proceed with caution. On that note, there’s also no real way to tweak the EQ if you’re not happy with the default sound – which is a bit of a bummer.
The Beats Flex are a decent pair of budget buds. But they're not for everyone.
If you have a hard time getting earbuds to stay in your ears or want buds for working out, these might not be the right buds for you. Without wingtips to hold them in, the Flex can easily fall out.
If you're looking for sound quality or premium features, it shouldn’t surprise you that, at $50 (£50, around AU$70), the Beats Flex don't have cutting-edge feature like hands-free Siri or active noise cancellation and the sound quality is just OK compared to some higher-end earbuds. If that stuff matters to you more than the name, then maybe the Beats Flex aren’t right for you.
However, if you need a cheap pair of headphones for your new iPhone, these might work for you. With Apple removing pack-in earbuds from new iPhone boxes, the Beats Flex are a fairly obvious replacement if you need a pair of headphones.
We'd recommend the Beats Flex if you love Beats and want a second pair of wireless earbuds. You can throw them in a bag and take them with you as a back-up. At $50 (£50, around AU$70), you won’t feel bad if you lose them, and they offer most of the same features as other, more expensive Beats buds.
For anyone looking for more from their buds, take a look at our suggested alternatives below.
If our Beats Flex review has you considering other wireless headphone options, then here are three alternatives for you to look at.
SoundMagic E11BT
One of our favorite pair of budget wireless headphones, the E11BT from SoundMagic are super cheap with a great design. We think they're more comfortable than the Beats Flex and more likely to stay snug in your ears.

Sennheiser CX Sport
If you're looking for a cheap pair of wireless earbuds specifically for working out, then the Sennheiser CX Sport are a great choice. They'll stay in place as you move, and offer fantastic audio quality.
