The good: Apple’s stylish, cool, and crazy expensive wireless earbuds Airpods are now available for purchase, with online orders arriving as soon as next week. The bad: the Beat X wireless earbuds, which were originally scheduled for a fall 2016 release, have now been delayed to at least February.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Beat X earbuds, this shouldn’t come as too much of a shock. Retailer B&H Photo recently told its customers that they wouldn’t have the earbuds for another two to three months, and now we know the delay wasn’t on them, but higher up.

When the earbuds do hit, they’ll retail for $149.95, just ten bucks cheaper than the Airpods. Whether you choose to get the Airpods or wait for the Beat X, one thing is certain: your wallet is about to get a lot lighter. Oh, and you’ll get to listen to some quality sound? I’m more concerned about the light wallet thing.
