    What is going on with Beats?

    Beats Solo 3 Won't Power On With Audio Cable Plugged In

    Hi All. For over a decade, I have worked from home and had it all to myself, minus a few months when kids were home during the summer.

    Are the Beats X wires too long?

    I'm interested in the new Beats X to use with my iPhone, but the wires that attach to the earbuds themselves look way too long and look as if they'd smack into my face. Does anyone have experience with the new Beats X and can they confirm this? Would just like some extra insight.
