I wonder can we use one of them at a time like AirPods. That would be a win. I like the black and like another poster mentioned, these are the black “AirPods “
 
Are they sure they will be released?

I like the ear loops. I'm always afraid I'll lose airpods, so I've avoided buying them. But these are a definite maybe.

Me too. The Apple earpods don't fit me and I assume they are virtually the same size as the airpods. Both airpods and Powerbeats version are priced way to high though.

Really hope the case supports wireless charging like the new AirPods case does
 
Glad I held off on Airpods 1.5. Plus these would replace my use case for both my original Airpods and BeatsX.
 
Good to see this, I was wondering when they would distribute their airpod technology elsewhere. I won't be buying, but this should cut out tons of other random workout headphones that are in the market.
 
This will be the silver bullet for some. I prefer not jamming things into my ear canals, so I love my AirPods.

I'm on the other end of the ear spectrum... love "jamming things in my ear canal." I'm still rocking old wired etymotic mc5 because they go into the ear canal. This way they are secure and don't come out when I'm running. It also provided some degree of noise isolation.
 
Might want to check your headline. Billboard say "totally" wireless, not "truly."
 
I personally prefer something like BeatsX.. making it totally wireless with earhook and silicone buds, less sporty looking than Powerbeats, but with more snug fits and noise isolation compared to AirPods. That’d be my ideal earbuds.
 
The loop is a dealbreaker for me. Makes the powerbeats so cumbersome and awkward to put on... Plus it makes the headphones look clunky and awkward in the case as well.

Ewwwww how horrible - huge tacky billboards right next to people's homes! I bet little Eddy Cue would be the first to moan if we stuck sh*tty Beats headphones ads on his home!
Very poor taste!
 
Say whatever you want while keeping that anti-Beats bias, but these do look good, and avoid mercifully the douche look. Prediction (without proof): these will sell out like gangbusters.
