Beats President Luke Wood: Powerbeats Pro is 'Culmination of the Full Integration' of Apple and Beats

[RickDEGH]

I don't think you've experienced USB-C to its full potential then.

In my home office, a single USB-C cable connects my laptop to my docking station and:
* Charges my laptop
* Connects all standard USB peripherals from my docking station to my laptop (keyboard, mouse, iPod...yes, I still use one as a hard drive in my car)
* Transfers all video data from laptop to docking station supplying video up to two 4K monitors (I just use one big one though)
* ...and IMHO, it's really the best of both worlds; "non-handed" like the lightning connection while also being small enough to integrate into phones, headphone cases, etc.
* Transfers audio to headphone/speakers connected to docking station
* It's "universal"...companies (like Apple) just need to adopt it instead of lightening cable.

You really mean a SINGLE usb-c cable doing all of that? Or multiple usb-c cables, like we all use multiple cables for different things.

Just for jokes: perhaps all cars should adopt the same tires because it would be convenient to switch them around different cars.

In my post that you quoted I very clearly said it’s great if you’re all in on USB-C as you are..

For those of us who aren’t though, it’s frustrating and will be a long transition.

But that’s my point, I’m not “all in” on anything.

I own ONE USB-C cable (and it came with my docking station)....it just happens to do all of the things I mentioned.

Cable/hardware connections will always change, but this seems to be the next “big” one universally utilized by all (even Apple). Why not utilize it more (especially in place of lightening which is so similar)?

A single USB-C cable connected to my laptop transfers all of that data and power...yes. Of course, I still utilize other cables to connect all of the peripherals to my docking station.

The point is, I walk up to my desk, plug the single USB-C cable into my laptop, everything is connected/powered. My desk has never been so clean...hah.

Guess i'm different then. Never been a fan of loud sounds, I love Bass heavy music when listening to it on headphones such as beats, but the second I get in a car with subs it starts making me feel real uncomfortable real fast and I just want to get out of the vehicle. Don't really prefer concerts either.

I feel the same about loud car subwoofers. However, it's not a matter of volume. You can feel bass at comfortable volumes. Imagine listening to jazz. Again, it has to be delivered by a proper room speaker rather than headphones. When the bass is emphasized and isolated to the ears, it can have an ill effect.

Glad you enjoy it

What a liar ... apple and quality where does this man live ... parallel universe?!

Seems he lives on planet earth. After being a part of MR for a few years, I think a parallel universe might really exist.

for me, the best thing is, to use them seperatly. One for my Car and one when i am on my Roadbike. Each piece has full control - perfect! They will replace my beatsX
