Apple cuts back Beats Flex price to $49 as a ‘special’ offer

Update: Apple is also giving $20 off for Beats Studio Buds (now $129.99) and $50 off for Powerbeats Pro (now $199.95), although you can find them at better prices here and here.

Beats Flex replaces BeatsX for $49 with USB-C charging, longer battery life, Apple W1 chip

BeatsX wireless headphones landed three years ago as the first Beats product to feature Apple’s W1 chip and Lightning charging port like the original AirPods. The $149 headphones eventually dropped in price by $50, and today Beats Flex are replacing BeatsX for $100 less than their original launch price.

Beats Flex wireless headphones still use Apple’s original W1 chip like BeatsX, although the Lightning port has been replaced with a USB-C port (like the iPad Pro and iPad Air) to better service Android users.
