Beats Flex Wireless Earphones vs Soundcore Space A40 Earbuds

The Soundcore Space A40 is the better buy for most people. It adds active noise cancelling, a charging case with up to 50 hours total, Bluetooth 5.2 multipoint and IPX4 water resistance, and owners rate it higher. The Beats Flex is a neckband with no case to lose, physical buttons, Apple-friendly pairing and a cable between the buds, but it has no noise cancelling, 12 hours of play and no multipoint. Pick the Flex only if you want a neckband you can drop around your neck and never hunt for.

• Choose the Beats Flex if you want a neckband that hangs around your neck between calls, with physical buttons and simple pairing with an iPhone.
• Choose the Soundcore Space A40 if you want true wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling, a charging case and multipoint for switching between phone and laptop.
