【A Male Friend Who Spins it Around】

After several months of unexplained delays,A Male Friend Who Spins it Around Apple's BeatsX earphones can now be bought from Apple's online store for $149.95.

The main difference is that the AirPods are fully cable free, while the BeatsX have a remote-equipped cable that goes around your neck, thus (ideally) making them harder to fall out of your ear and perhaps a bit better for use during physical activity.
