Ill stick with my Bose QC15s. Still work, still cancel noise and still dont got $350 bucks!
It's a mobile phone company now that also happens to sell computers.
If they are on ear they should be compared with (cheaper) Beats Solo, not Beats Studio.

....I have Grado's (325i 50th anniversary edition, and Alessandro MS1e and MS2i), they're definitely far more my flavor than Beats (I have Solo 2 Wireless) as I prefer the sound of open headphones -- but in fairness to the Studio3, they're not competing for the same use case as Grado headphones, so a direct comparison ("better" vs "worse") isn't useful as a generality.

But the ANC on the Studio3 isn't anywhere near the level of the top ANC headphones (Sony WH1000XM3, Bose QC35 II), so it'd make more sense to compare them to the next tier of ANC headphones like the B&O H9i (over-ear) and H8i (on-ear), which do not apparently sound horrid at all when wired. (I do have a pair of Parrot Zik 2, which are probably the world's biggest joke when used passively -- which I never do except the one time I did for kicks to test it.)
Because they've already profited billions of dollars from the purchase, through Apple Music alone?
I'm so confused about what upgrades everyone is clamouring for with the W1 chip... Can someone elaborate on what specifically you're looking for other than a 2 or a 3 for the sake of a higher number after the W?
because 3, honestly though I do enough work at work to being doing it on here too. Not trying to be a jerk at all but you know where to find the answer your looking for..
Wow! Ugly, sounds like crap, and costs 2-3 times more than some of the best-sounding headphones ever made?
Go buy an Audio Technica ATH-M50x for less than half the price.

Apple advertises W1 chip as "seamless switching" between Apple devices. What they don't tell you is that it can take 20 seconds or longer to complete the switch. Sometimes it fails to switch and requires a second attempt- With the AirPods, anyway. At this rate, there is little advantage compared to regular Bluetooth headphones. Also, many non-Apple Bluetooth headphones can already pair with multiple devices - some as many as 8. Of course, people will point out that the pairing is not automatic like W1. But this will not be an issue for everyone.
What I'd really like to see are headphones that actually remain connected to all the different devices without having to switch between them. I want to have my headphones on all day and be able to hear all my devices at the same time instead of switching back and forth.

Yes, but don't worry you get a participation trophy.
Apple stuff started going to **** when they started gluing stuff. Just look at the naming scheme in the mobile/ipad area. I think may be a correlation between glue vapors and apple's declining image.
Exactly...I'm in the market for high-end headphones and I'm waiting for beats to upgrade/refresh their line with W3 chip, better ANC and better sound on the level of Bose.
honestly didn't even know that...i dont like over the ear headphones so never been interested in them. with that said, i still think thats a grip of cash.
I am not a big fan of over head headphones either. I got a pair free with my already discounted MacBook pro last month and debating with myself if I should sell them or keep them. I love my AirPods and not sure if Beats Solo 3 would benefit me.
If more speed and range means more bandwidth that could mean better sound over wireless since you would't have to truncate the sound.

Those are sponsorships. Players get paid to wear Beats.

They meant back when they used to make incredible computing hardware, like this stalwart:

I also think better range could mean better battery life because it won't need as amplified of a signal when it's closer, BUT I don't know exactly how these work, it just made logical sense to me.
