Our Verdict

Beats BeatsX Wireless

Sony WI-C400 Wireless

The Beats BeatsX Wireless are a better wireless headset than the Sony WI-C400 Wireless. The Beats have a better wireless range and latency performance than the Sony, especially when paired to an iOS device. They also have a better-balanced sound quality and more durable design that's flexible enough to fold and fit into your pockets. The Sony, on the other hand, have much a longer battery life but don't perform better than the Beats in most other categories.
