Apple delays its other wireless headphones

BeatsX goes the Duke Nukem way


After forcing its iPhone users to dump their headphone jacks, Apple has been rubbish at supplying them with wireless phones that work.

Yesterday we revealed how Apple’s expensive Airbuds were put on the never-never after Jobs’ Mob could not get them to work. Now it seems that the the BeatsX wireless earphones also appear to be delayed indefinitely.

An email sent out from authorised Apple reseller B&H Photo Video said that Apple’s BeatsX earphones won’t even begin shipping for another two to three months if you are lucky.

“We regret to inform you that the manufacturer has informed us that they still do not know when they will begin shipping this item but they do know that it will take at least 2-3 months,” the email reads.

Originally introduced this past September alongside the iPhone 7, BeatsX earphones feature Apple’s vaunted W1 chip and can deliver an impressive eight hours of battery life on a single charge. Even more enticing is that a quick five minute charge will afford users two hours of additional playback. If they worked of course. Apple might as well have said they will deliver 24 hours of use and cure cancer, because the product is vapourware

Apple wanted to get BeatsX earphones out onto stores shelves in the autumn. What remains unclear is why Apple is having trouble getting BeatsX earphones to market as it is not much different from a conventional pair of earphones.

It might be a little tricky for the fruity tax-dodging cargo-cult to convince users to embrace its headphone jack free products while it is on track to win the Duke Nukem product award for speedy product delivery.
