I doubt these were made for high mobility. Not seeing a mechanism that would anchor them in the ear.

Not taking advice from someone who thinks Beats is good. Thanks anyways.
I will certainly be adding these to my everyday carry. Amazing job Apple.
Right, because you know of so many better sounding Bluetooth headphones right? The Bluetooth is the audio quality limitation, doesn't matter who makes them really. Beats makes good ones for working out that don't fall out and have great battery life. Now, they're going to have this W1 chip and whatever advantage that brings.
So the lighting earpeace are not good for your 9 hours per day work? Bad news for you. 3.5mm jack is gone bye bye and this iPhone 7 will sell like a hot cake regardless.
Really think I'll get these when they're released. Seem useful for music/podcast listening as always and I really like the feature that directs the 2nd stereo channel to one earpiece when only one is in - really useful for office/home office conferencing when you want one ear free.
They do make at least one good product. I'm not going to bother debating it with somebody who trash-talks products they've never used or even seen 'in the flesh'.
You're clearly just here to vent. Why don't you scream out of an open window and save us having to skip your posts?

You're flying it wrong.
Don't complain. Resistance is futile. Apple is always right in all things.
They seem targeted at different demographics to me. My mom would never want Beats.

This crowd just mostly ripped into Woz the other day for calling the headphone jack removal a mistake.
If Jobs said that- and I think I recall he did- do you really want to set up a clash of the titans here... where this crowd has to choose to rip Jobs or rip Apple? It might cause some guys to completely meltdown to choose between God in human form and God in corporate form.
Edit: we recalled a Jobs quote wrong...
So dongles are OK!

interesting product. Interesting case. Something about the design leads me to believe that it will not be an improvement in sound quality. I still have my corded earbuds and they are functional. I take care of them and the cords are not bent or frayed.
I will save my money.

I gotta say, these caught my attention more than anything else so far. I'm a little disappointed at the 5 hours of battery life, but the battery case was a great idea.
EDIT: $159!? NOPE
$159!!!
On top of that it looks kind of ugly the way they stick out like that. I'm hoping gen. 2 looks better or there's some better looking 3rd party option. More like AirFuglies or tech earrings.
The Verge has a hands on look at the earbuds.

They stick out because the extended pieces are directional microphones.
Take a break... pop them in the charging case for 15 minutes... and you'll get a 3 hour charge.
You can stop listen to music for 15 minutes... can't you?
But I don't have to do that with wired headphone.
