That there are headphones with better audio quality is completely irrelevant. It'd be like saying "yeah the Nissan Leaf puts an electric motor in a small car, but a Lamborghini is so much faster!". Quote:

If I can have EarPods with AirPods-like drivers for $39, maybe a bit more, I'm in. |

— Fortunately, this thread has accomplished one thing. It has made me realize that the iPhone was never innovative at all. You see, touch screen phones existed before. Phones with graphical UI existed before. Bluetooth existed before. WiFi existed before. SOC's existed before. Flash memory existed before. Batteries existed before. Since these things all existed before the iPhone, the iPhone was not innovative at all! Yep, sounds absurd. AirPods, like iPhone, were the first product of their kind that brought their respective feature set together into one place. That is innovation. If it isn't, then the iPhone wasn't innovative, either. Nor was the Mac, or the iPod, or Tesla or Space X or any other product, ever, as their respective technologies all pre-existed in as their bit parts in some capacity. Innovation is the sum of the parts, not the parts themselves. To continue stripping out a single part and claiming "this has been done before" is grandiose straw-clutching, and nothing more. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet.

I haven't read ANY of the conversation on this page.
Just stopped in to say that I finally bought some Airpods and they're AMAZING. So incredibly convenient - more transparent operation than any other headset I've ever used with any mobile phone - simply stunning. All of this makes me really sad that I lost my left airpod less than a week after buying them. But I will buy a replacement enthusiastically, because I'm so angry at myself for having waited so long to try these out. ... |

Don't worry Drew, I was a late adopter too. I'm really glad I went for them when I did. I still don't live by them simply because how my daily life works. When I want them though, they are awesome. Really, I should get the Beats version since I normally need the sound isolation more than voice calling.

My daughter just got the Beats Studio 3 wireless. I had already sampled them at work—they are awesome!—and told her to go for it when she bought her (hopefully last) college computer (a new MacBook Air). She loves her Beats—which, by the way, use the same Apple-only-has-it bluetooth pairing system found in the AirPods. She asked me how to set them up and I said, "read the instructions" and she was like, that's it?
Yep. And now she can study in her room, listen to music, and not have to hear her grandpa's blasting TV in the next room. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet.

How well do they work for phone calls? I assume just as awesome as AirPods but figured I'd check since you've had first hand experience with them.
Edit: wait, I thought those were the small bud style. I'm more looking for those other wireless options that are closer to the AirPods.

(But neither Beats Studio 3 nor Beats X have the H1 yet, only the W1. The PowerBeats Pro do have the H1, I believe. If Apple ever revises the Beats X to have the H1, I think that's perfect for me.) |

Yes, the PowerBeats Pro is exactly what I have in mind! It does have the H1 as well.
