Airpods or Beats X or PowerBeats 3?

Bumping this thread

Is it true for any Powerbeats 3 owners that the build quality is terrible and you basically will most likely have them breakdown within a month lol?
The AirPods a better choice due to durability?

My 3's lasted longer than my 2's did but went the same way. I had multiple pairs of PBs replaced due to the same fault. There's clearly still an issue with the waterproofing of them, possibly the mic/remote unit which lets moisture in over time.

The Beats X or Powerbeats 3.

Way too much bass. Ruins the music.

Yes, the Powerbeats build quality is a joke. If you use them to workout and sweat at all, they will break very quickly. My wife has had hers replaced so many times it is laughable. I can't speak to the durability of the AirPods as I don't own then. I will probably pick up a pair of gen 2 AirPods when they are released this year.

Ahh so the Powerbeats is a big nono ! I won't bother getting them then!

Yeah this is what I read and apparently they start to wear away and the mic falls off

I do not plan to work out with them though...just use them on the train and at college. But still I don't want to spend over £100 on headphones that will fall of in like 6 months lol
