One thing I noticed which does seem strange and doesn't make sense is the type of charge cable they come with. The Beats X come with a lightning to USB cable and the Power Beats 3 come with a micro USB to regular USB cable. I think the lightning to USB is better as it allows you to use the same cable you would for your iPhone or iPad. I'm not a big fan of Beats as a brand or ear bud type headphones but I'm tempted to get the Power Beats 3 just for the W1 chip. I just wish they came with a lightning to USB charge cable.
I think it's cause they didn't want to do any redesigns on the older models. The Beats X is a new design but Solo3 and PB3 are just the previous models with the W1 chip crammed inside. I'm assuming switching to lightning would incur more costs.

$50what's the difference between the Beats X and the Powerbeats 3? Also, what about the Bose Soundsport wireless?
