Apple-owned Beats' 2021 workout earbuds pair a secure wingtip fit with ANC and iPhone-friendly features. At least one owner reports them still going strong after two years, but small-sample owner reviews also describe earbud faults, pairing quirks and paint flaking off around the two-year mark.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
It depends on how you will use it. 66% would buy it again, which means roughly 34% would not. Paint flaking off after about two years.
Most owners are still happy with fit and sound at six months; problems tend to be individual earbud faults or pairing quirks rather than widespread failure.
Paint flaking off after about two years. Earbud faults within months, with poor warranty help. Auto-connecting to the wrong device or failing to disconnect.
Worth it for: Iphone users who work out; Runners and gym-goers; People whose earbuds fall out. Think twice if: Android users; Wireless charging fans; Buyers wanting replaceable eartips and wings.
