These are gonna be the workout version of the airpods I hope. I used to workout and run with my apple earbuds and I ruined them cause I sweat so much.
The plot thickens! Wow. Already ordered the new $159 Pods. I'd expect these to be more pricey anyway.
Different people have different ideas of fit. For example, hip-hop gangstas wearing sagging jeans with their butts hanging out may think those jeans fit well. Since the jeans are not completely on the floor, the people wearing them could say that technically they have not fallen off.
Mine fall out constantly. At my desk, walking and almost in the toilet a couple times when I looked down lol
Why are you describing people as hip-hop gangstas that’s a disgusting derogatory statement

I hope these are released before the return window closes on the airpods I just ordered... I'm pretty certain I'd stick to the airpods, but would be nice to have the flexibility...
I hope these are Lightning or USB-C. Crazy to me they still sell these with micro-usb.
What you say is not true on the street....you likely live in a non-urban (yes that is what I mean) environment. The beats brand surpasses apple in anything sound related in that population. Case in point, at the gym ALL of the yuppies proudly wear their airpods, the buppies, to a person, have Beats.
If after inserting the AirPod in one ear and just sitting still, the AirPod gradually turns and loosens until it is sitting precipitously outside of the ear canal and requiring the wearer to repeatedly nudge it back to the original position, do we count this as fitting or not? Staying in or not? "But technically, it didn't fall to the ground..."

Maybe they will finally be able to withstand a workout without flooding the control switch after a few drops of sweat. I have a dedicated container of rice for my Powerbeats3 to combat the stupid flashing light moisture errors.
mine work great, sound excellent (aac with apple music), one touch connect is awesome. sorry you did not get the same experience. you could try samsung airbuds, but they have rated poorly already - drop a lot of connections. there is a lot of choice out there. I never trust ratings, too many people paid to write good and or bad reviews, use reviews from knowledgeable sources, a lot of pretty sleazy reviews around these days too.

Now if only everyone in the world had your same exact ears
And shoe sizes! Man I have small feet, almost impossible to get good running shoes, but so many people love brands that don't fit me, sigh! At least AirPods fit
Apple won't be cannibalizing its own AirPods sales...
"If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will." - Steve Jobs
If Apple is concerned about self-cannibalization, maybe it shouldn't be.
I honestly can’t believe people are paying $200 for earbuds. Wow. Never would have believed it was a possible sell if you had told me that a few years ago.
Because there are obviously two distinct groups of wireless earphone consumers (based on posts here on MR): those who believe strongly that all earphones should be in-ear design with adjustable tips, and those who don’t.
Also, AirPods are better for phone calls.
