I'm doing the other way around, I'll skip the Beats X and go with the AirPods. I saw a couple of reviews on the demo pair and people were like shaking their head like they were in a heavy metal concert and they still didn't fall so for a journey on the bus or walking home it will be more than enough. Also I really need a pair of BT earphones and wanted ones with the W1 chip, but in no way I'll wait until February for the Beats X...
