Take a look here. They are clearly white regardless of what Apple calls them.
Clearly off-white. Apple calls them ivory.

Yeah, that wasn’t so much literal as a hyperbolic comment on the relatively high price for a pair of headphones.Or save up for a few weeks or months. Maybe pickup some extra hours.
Isn’t that what people do when they want something they can’t afford to just go buy?
Oh I got that. That’s why I made that sarcastic comment about having to save for a few months or having to work extra hours for something with such a relatively low price.Yeah, that wasn’t so much literal as a hyperbolic comment on the relatively high price for a pair of headphones.
Good grief.
I was surprised at how few people were complaining about the looks in the thread where they were announced a while back.
Way to use a product photo instead of the real thing. These are clearly white, off-white, etc. But white regardless. And in reality they don't look like the photo you linked. This is what they look like. And pretty telling that CNET who has used them calls them matte white.
There is no digging here mate. They are clearly white.LOL. As they say, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
Not really. A significant portion just whips out their credit cards.Or save up for a few weeks or months. Maybe pickup some extra hours.

I’d say neither are exactly beautiful, but it depends on whose eye is beholding them.I wonder if the people who thinks the Powerbeats pros are ugly, think the AirPods look good?
We used to aspire to make rocket ships. Now we aspire to make a basket.

I'm more than happy to accept a slightly bulkier earpiece in return for dispensing with the connecting cable, which is a royal pain in the...
The connecting cable aside, I've found my Powerbeats to be much more stable whilst running than my cable-free Bose SoundSport (an older model than the current SoundSport Free), which needed constant attention to push them back in again.
This new version of Powerbeats looks to be the best of both worlds - whichever colour you might prefer.
Sony' great noise cancelling WH-XM3's got rid of the awful micro usb, still used by Bose!, and adopted USB-C, which is nice. Bose has definitely fallen behind the Sony's (only 20 hrs versus 30, no USB, sound not quite as good, NC not quite as good), but Sony needs to improve on connecting to multiple devices and phone call quality. Still waiting a bit to see if Apple comes out with the rumored OTE noise cancelling wireless.
So off-white is white, and ivory is white... if you can’t see the difference, maybe you’re not using a color-accurate display like an iPhone/iPad/iMac?Way to use a product photo instead of the real thing.

Yeah, what we need is:
Bose QC35 noise cancelling quality, mixed with the feature set of the Sony WH-1000XM3, with the connectivity of the Apple H1 chip (with the bonus of having "AptX Low Latency" to watch real time TV broadcasts!)?
In two or three types:
over the ear / in the ear / on the ear (as the third option).
How all that's going to ever happen, even without the H1 chip from Apple...? As no one offers anything like it, despite it mostly being about software. :-/
Ivory is essentially off-white. They are not the beige tinted depiction in the product photo from the Beats website, which was my original point before people felt the need to chime in and say otherwise, for some reason.So off-white is white, and ivory is white... if you can’t see the difference, maybe you’re not using a color-accurate display like an iPhone/iPad/iMac?

Your original point may have gotten lost when you switched from “not beige” to “clearly white regardless of what Apple calls them.”Ivory is essentially off-white. They are not the beige tinted depiction in the product photo from the Beats website, which was my original point before people felt the need to chime in and say otherwise, for some reason.
Huh? Isn't it like 9 hours? How long are you thinking it could even be in that form factor?
Still wanted them in RedIt's not white. It's ivory.
Which is why Apple called it ivory.
No, you’re all wrong. They are actually ecru.So off-white is white, and ivory is white... if you can’t see the difference, maybe you’re not using a color-accurate display like an iPhone/iPad/iMac?

This is a classic Apple spot: graphic, iconic, and the visuals do the talking. The technique of keeping the earphones in the same spot on the screen, despite different athletes at different distances, is really engaging.
For sports, these seem like a great alternative (or supplement) to AirPods.
Ugly sons of a gun. I wonder how much Apple had to pay out to get those athletes to wear it LOL

Can only - and clearly - assume that you've never seen ivory, then.
Not everything in life is black or white.
LOL. As they say, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
