. No charging case. No ANC
Kinda meh unless you listen to bass heavy music, hip hop and edm generally speaking, mids are meh and highs are little more meh than that, but bass makes up for it, so the quality is dependent on your use case.
I'm not really happy with the ear tips, I find them slipping out of my ears after an hour or so. I ordered the memory foam ones reccomended on another comment so I'll try them when I get them.
The magnetic heads do securely latch and they stay safe around your neck if you're not actively wearing them. Also, they feel pretty durable and can be stuffed into a pocket inbetween uses quickly and pulled out as needed.
There's 2 identically shaped control bumps/pills so you can't tell which one is left and right by feel and the tips aren't labled, the one with the charging port is on the left and the power button is on the right so you can learn which one is which that way. The charge port is open so it can sweat in it I imagine. The double bumps can also be awkward if they're in the wrong position on your neck and they can make the ear buds slide out if you're moving your head alot, like while cooking or eating or working out. They're fine for sitting still as described in another comment, which can be great if that's what you need them for.
I use Sony XM3s primarily, but I wanted something less bulky but with more battery life than true wireless ear buds, I'm pretty unhappy with these beats tbh but I'll give them a try with the memory foam ear tips and hope they make the experience better.
Update: Turns out I had some compatible memory foam ear bud tips laying around (same brand) and they do improve the sound quality and experience of the beats flex. However, I also got these delivered: https://a.co/d/b7h178J and THEY BLOW THE BEATS OUT OF THE WATER, the tips on these were even worst so it's really crappy out of the box, but once I applied the memory foam tips on them I was completely amazed at the sound quality, the volume control wheel is a nice touch and the on/off is whether or not the magnet heads are latched to each other. If you have an android, the software and equalizer options plus the spatial sound really added nice sound stage. Not appropriate for every listen, the options degraded the podcast and audio book experience, but man did it really make psytrance pop. I am 100% returning the beats flex because the CMF Nothings have better (for me) on device controls and much better sound quality (with the same memory foam ear tips).
Oh and the microphone works better and is clearer (tested on android sound recorded)
Better battery life too I think
The beats charge using a lightning cable. No charging case

Regardless no ANC and can't take the sweat

they don't look or feel cheap - won't last 6 months. superglue/baking soda can't save em. one pair was from apple store. 2nd pair was $20 on eBay - don't recommend these
Please explain.
I like the form factor though. Harder to lose. Not a lot of selection to choose from nowadays. They were popular for awhile. Wonder if there is still a good pair out there?
I have been waiting for a price of 25 or less before I buy more. I was hoping they would drop the price on BF but it didn't happen. Still they are good headphones that can take a lot of abuse....though not as much as I dole out..... that's why I have brought so many over the years.
For a "seamless pairing with an Apple device" makes it superior?
But never about the audio quality?
