Beats Flex All-Day Wireless Earphones – Beats Black

The Beats Flex Black is the all-black version of Beats’ neckband earphones: two magnetic earbuds joined by a flexible Flex-Form cable that rests around your neck when you are not listening. Beats rates it for up to 12 hours of playback, and the Apple W1 chip gives one-tap pairing with an iPhone. In plain black it looks right with a suit, a uniform or gym clothes, which is why it is the version most people pick for a working day.

Beats Flex Black for the Working Day

A working day in the UAE often means a drive or a metro ride, hours at a desk and a few calls in between. The Beats Flex Black stays around your neck through all of it. When a colleague walks over, you pull the buds out and let them hang; there is no case to open and nothing to put down on the desk and forget.

The cable is Beats’ Flex-Form design with Nitinol inside, a nickel-titanium alloy that bends and returns to shape. It sits on the collar without pulling the buds out of your ears, and when you coil it into a pocket it does not keep a kink. Four eartip sizes come in the box, so you can find the size that seals well; a good seal matters more for bass than any setting.

Calls on the Commute: Microphone and Controls

The built-in microphone uses wind reduction, which Beats says improves voice clarity outdoors. It is a single in-line microphone, not a multi-microphone array with noise cancellation, so on a busy street the person on the other end will still hear some of the street. For a call while walking from the car park to the office, the Beats Flex Black is clear enough; for long conference calls in an open-plan office, a headset with a boom microphone does a better job.

The left control module handles everything: one press plays, pauses or answers a call; a double press skips forward; a triple press goes back; pressing and holding wakes Siri. Holding the button for about a second declines an incoming call. The volume rocker is on the same module, and the power button sits on the right one.

Magnetic Earbuds with Auto-Play/Pause

The back of each earbud is magnetic. Snap the two together around your neck and the music pauses; pull them apart and it resumes. Apple’s guide adds that attaching or detaching the earbuds can also answer or end a call, and you can switch the behaviour off if you prefer the buttons. Auto-Play/Pause requires iOS or iPadOS 14, macOS 11, watchOS 7 or tvOS 14 or later.

With the buds clipped together, the Beats Flex Black hangs like a necklace that does not fall off in the lift or on the stairs, which is its main practical advantage over loose true wireless earbuds.

Apple W1 Chip, Android and Find My

Inside is Apple’s W1 chip with Class 1 Bluetooth, which Beats credits for extended range and fewer dropouts. Hold the earphones near an unlocked iPhone and a setup card appears; once paired, they are available on your other Apple devices signed in to the same iCloud account. Audio Sharing lets you share a song or a film with a second pair of Beats or AirPods, and the Find My app can play a sound or show the last known location on a map.

On Android, the Beats Flex Black pairs as a standard Bluetooth headset, and the Beats app for Android handles setup and settings. Features tied to iCloud, such as Find My and automatic switching between Apple devices, work only with Apple devices.

Battery: Up to 12 Hours with Fast Fuel

Beats rates the battery at up to 12 hours of listening, based on its testing in August 2020; real runtime depends on volume, settings and use. When the battery runs low, a 10-minute Fast Fuel charge gives about 1.5 hours of playback, enough for the drive home. Charging is through USB-C, and a USB-C to USB-C cable is included; a power adapter is not.

Why Choose the Beats Flex Black

Black is Beats’ house colour, and the black Flex is the least noticeable on camera during a video call or under a dark shirt collar. It hides dust and marks better than the yellow or light grey versions, and the matte finish shows few fingerprints. The trade-off is that a black cable is harder to find at the bottom of a black backpack; Find My on an iPhone helps there.

If you want the same earphones in a colour that stands out, the Flame Blue and Yuzu Yellow versions share every specification with the Beats Flex Black; only the finish changes.

Who This Is Not For

There is no active noise cancellation or transparency mode, so the Beats Flex Black does not quieten an aircraft cabin or a loud air conditioner the way noise-cancelling earbuds do. Beats does not publish a water or sweat resistance rating for the Beats Flex, so it is not for swimming, and heavy sweat or rain is at your own risk. It is Bluetooth only, with no 3.5 mm plug for an in-flight entertainment socket. And if you dislike anything touching your neck, true wireless earbuds will feel freer.
