These still have 6 week shipping..
Doubt there will be a thread for the Beatsex but hopefully will have some impressions in here. My backbeat go are so frustrating I don't use them these days - the rubbery cable drags on my neck/collar/jacket so tugs on the ears (kind of pointless being wireless at that point), and I can't find a comfortable position for the wingtips to keep them in.
Airpods dont' let you easily control music although maybe with my apple watch I can manage. If the Beats X cable is ok that might be the route to go.
Edit: damn delivery on black ones is march already
I'm super keen on the beatsX myself and would love to have impressions here.
It seems like a decent compromise on the features of the airpods for the sake of better sound.
Here, they cost like 15% less so that's cool too.
I left my phone in the kitchen, while dropping the kids off at the pool in the basement. Double tapped Siri and listened to a podcast. Even sent some text messages. No connectivity issues AT ALL.Yeah I've had no issues with my connection. If someone's having that many disconnects it's time for an exchange.
So I've been having continued issues with my pods and finally decided upon taking them in a few days ago. Got a new pair and have the same issue with my iPhone 7 plus. So now I'm unsure as to what is going on, but it wasn't specific to the pods I had. I think something is a little funny with the W1 chip on my phone. I'm going back tomorrow to verify the issues I'm having so they can be escalated to a higher level service tech. I think short of an actual engineer I won't be getting the experience I payed for, which is a major bummer.
bought the Beat X's in grey to check out them out while I get this sorted out.
Your phone doesn't have a W1 chip in it. What's going on?
The auto play and pause feature when physically putting them on and off is definitely the best feature and might make me keep these over the Beats X.
ooh, you get a card in the box for 3 months free Apple music, but when you go to redeem it, the screen has a little button underneath saying 'give me app store credit'. Press that and you get £29.97 in app store credit. As I spend money on the app store regularly anyway, that effectively brings the cost of the earphones down to £100.
Haha, so it would be a wireless remote control? I think they probably think the Apple Watch is that. I agree with the silicone tips though — I used my airpods in a coffee shop yesterday and I had to crank up the volume to block out the noise.I want
-airpods lack of cables so they don't snag on my collar
- Beats X remote control inline so I can skip tracks and change volume easily
- Airpods auto on/off when you take them out of the case/ears
- Beats X silicon tips for better noise isolation
- Airpods self-contained charging (not requiring a lightning cable to top them up)
- Beats X battery life between charges.
Also I don't really understand the fuss about the W1. First time pairing maybe but after that it seems similar to other BT devices. auto connects to last connected device. Swipe up in control centre to choose the headphones Vs go to BT settings and tap on device to switch headphones.
wait what? apple is giving free credit with airpods?
Yeah, I'd also love some kind of noise cancelation tips for when I'm doing chores (vacuuming the house especially). Anything out there yet?I used my airpods in a coffee shop yesterday and I had to crank up the volume to block out the noise.

They are perfect as is for walking around town etc.
Thanks, their EarPod version looks great. Reasonable pricing and shipping to my country too! Following.
Man, I really want these but the EarPods hurt my ears after a short while so these will probably too.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Delete Facebook, lawyer up, hit the gym (with your AirPods).my wife made fun of AirPods when they were announced and thought they were silly. Now that I have mine and has seen how they work (especially with the charging case) she wants a pair haha

Try them on at an Apple Store if possible, you might be pleasantly surprised?
Now that the Switch has confirmed BT Headphone support, I'm stoked to pair one of these to the Switch, the other to the iPhone app for voice chat!

Do these work with two iPhones simultaneously? I have my personal and a work iPhone I have with me at all times. When I activate one for AirPods the other one de-syncs.
My other Bluetooth headphones work for both simultaneously, so it shouldn't be a Bluetooth limitation.
No they don't
Kinda thinking of the same actually. I just bought the Beats x and they come Wednesday as well. Gonna use them for a bit. Might keep the Airpods for work and use the Beats x for working out and anything outside of that.Took the plunge on BeatsX black. They arrive Wednesday. I like how I agonized over AirPods or BeatsX and because of the way Apple spaced out release I ended up buying both. Well played, Tim.
Silly question perhaps but has anyone managed to pair these to an "unsupported" Bluetooth device (say, Windows PCs or Android), then use them with your Watch/iPhone etc. and not having to run through the pairing process again on the unsupported device?
Maybe I'm just missing sth, first BT headphones. I'd like to use them with my Windows tablet occasionaly and that works fine but I have to repair them every time.
another problem I'm having When I'm using windows media player or iTunes the sound comes out crisp on AirPods but when I use chrome or IE the sound comes out as if I'm in a call ? Happen to anyone else ?Silly question perhaps but has anyone managed to pair these to an "unsupported" Bluetooth device (say, Windows PCs or Android), then use them with your Watch/iPhone etc. and not having to run through the pairing process again on the unsupported device?

Most decent Bluetooth headphones switch easily between devices - before my beats x I just went to the BT settings on a device I'd previously paired with, and they'd switch immediately to that device. I'd expect AirPods to meet that basic level of functionality
Yeah, I should have been more clear. I don't actually have to re-pair the AirPods (using the button on the case) each time. I simply have to go into my settings and manually tell it to pair them (they're already listed).
It only switches automatically between iPhone and Apple Watch, and that's because the Apple Watch is basically a slave device to the iPhone.there's no other way for it to work, it only connects to the last thing it was connected to. It works the same even on iOS devices, if I was last listening on my iPad but want to switch to iPhone I have to use control center to connect to my AirPods
Probably just the w1 stuff.It only switches automatically between iPhone and Apple Watch, and that's because the Apple Watch is basically a slave device to the iPhone.
But I actually find their pairing memory to be pretty awesome, as I've yet to find a limit to it. I remember other devices having a limit and sometimes even advertising they're capable of being paired to 2 devices as a feature, like my UE Boom speaker. But do other bluetooth headphones feature that kind of memory like the AirPods?
Returning mine.
The sound quality during a phone call is absolutely horrific. Talking to other owners, this appears to be part of the design.
Nah. I think it's a limitation of the current bluetooth technology since you're sending and receiving at the same time. So there has to be some quality trade-off to keep everything stable.I thought there was an update to that in 10.3
