As the market is hardly saturated with rappers who decide to launch their own brand of clothing and consumer electronics items, Will.i.am arrives to present a new range of wireless headphones, headphones that offer nothing more than a silkscreen and eye-catching design. It is the key, the more striking the better. And this is the way a new product reaches Apple Stores around the world, by this we mean that Wiil.i.am's Buttons headphones will be sold in the Apple Store at their usual price, so that Apple's Beats are not the only choice in terms of sound you make when buying a new device.
All this comes up just when rumors, from unreliable sources, about a possible delay in the launch of Apple AirPods do not stop. However, these the i.am + Buttons of the North American rapper will arrive at the Apple Store for the modest price of 160 euros (approx.), They will give us around 6 hours of playback and conversation, while in standby they would last up to 120 hours. To charge them, you will use a microUSB cable, the truth is that it is a regrettable charging mechanism in a product of that price and that it does not differentiate them from those that we can find for € 20 from brands such as Energy Sistem.
On the other hand, the BeatsX that include the Apple W1 processor to improve battery consumption, they cost 150 euros (approx.), so it seems that these headphones will not have much market beyond what we know as "posture" and that is so the order of the day.
Meanwhile, we continue with diffuse information about AirPods, however, our colleague Luis Padilla will bring us a fantastic review of them as soon as they arrive in Spain, do not miss it.
