BeatsX battery life

[Rocko99991]

I am getting close to the advertised 8 hours battery life. Havent noticed drastic difference between call and music battery life.

I sent mine in to Apple and they returned it saying functions as designed.

After running several tests, I was consistently landing only 3 hours of call time on a full charge @ 75% volume. I was a surprised by this given my 2-year-old powerbeats2 still get more than 3 hours of talk time. I called Apple support on the issue and, after sending in my unit, they ended up sending me a full replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement only got marginally more talk time @ 3.5 total hours. The replacement unit also had an issue with the mic which was muffling my voice in almost all scenarios.

I'm curious: has anyone measured their battery life for music vs. call time with the beatsx? When I called Apple support, they were not able to answer that for me and just gave me come canned response from their script saying "I just says 8 hours." But, if the 3 hours of call time is in fact what this device is capable of... well, the airpods are suddenly looking a lot more appealing...

[doublepost=1524926251][/doublepost]Hi I’m getting around 4 hours of continuous play out my beatsX I’ve sent them in 3 times and still getting around the same amount of talk time/music play out of them. They do not last 8 hours even when they are idle the battery depletes. I had 100%at 7 am and it’s now 10:30 and I’m at 25%. This really sucks ugh

Can anyone comment on their battery life/drain while the headphones are turned off? I'm losing about 20% of my battery every day with the headphones turned completely off. This doesn't feel normal given my older Bluetooth headsets can go weeks being turned of while still holding *some* charge.

Also, Hxlover, you were saying that you were running them all day (7-7) with some usage and some standby and still seeing 40-50% at the end of the day. I feel like this suggests the earphones can go way farther than 8 hours when they're on and idling.

I am seeing 1-2% an hour drain with them powered off. I lose between 14-18% per hour of use-music from my iPhone at about 60% volume. No calls.

Fully charged my BeatsX on Friday evening, and shut off them right away. Picked them up this morning and they were at 97%. So they lost 3% while shut over a 28-30-hour period.

This morning I used them for my gym session and here's what I got out of them.

8:52 AM - 94%
9:12 AM - 90% (4% in 10 minutes)
9:19 AM - 88% (2% in 7 minutes)
9:36 AM - 85% (3% in 17 minutes)
9:45 AM - 83% (2% in 9 minutes)
10:00 AM - 80% (3% in 15 minutes)
Total: 68 minutes = 14%
Theoretically this would give: 485.71minutes/8.09 hours for a full charge

**Was about 2 feet away from my phone for about 40 minutes, then 10-20 feet away for the remaining 28-30 minutes.

So far so good, curious on the long run how they will maintain this 8-hour life.

I seem to be running into similar issues myself. I purchased my pair of BeatsX less then 72 hours ago and on a full charge I get less then 50% off the advertised 8hrs of play back time.

I need to measure mine - no way do I get 8 hours. Maybe 4. I commute around 2 hours each way and have to charge every day or they'll be dead on the way in to work the next day. Phone in my pocket so very close to the headphones. Bought at launch.

I literally just returned mine back to Best Buy I only had my pair for 3 days. So I exchange them for a pair of powerbeats3,call me an extra $10 from what I paid for the feed sacks because they're having a sale on all of their powerbeats3 other than their decade Edition for $109.99

I literally just returned my BeatsX after owning them only for 3 Days to BestBuy due to this battery life issue. For an extra $10 I got the powerbeats3 because Best Buy is having a sale on them for $109.99

Much better battery life but the exaggerated bass ruins the music.
