Ditched my Studio Wireless (Matte Black) for the Bose QuietComfort 35 (Black) and I've not looked back since. ANC on Beats was lacking, there was a distinct distant hiss when no music was being played and slightly moving your head made the hissing worse. Celebrities are responsible for making the Beats "popular" hence that Ad to further, uhh push it. Next new Ad should be called "Strings Attached" w/ the next version of the product and maybe the sound quality would get better.
You must be forgetting the Eminem iPod commercials from around 2005.
[doublepost=1476815030][/doublepost]Cool. Now someone needs to do a parody version with Ultron.
I love my Powerbeats2's -- they never fall out and I never get tangled or tugged on by a cord, and they actually sound really nice.
Granted, mine had an issue where after about eight months the front plate of the little controls unit on the cable fell off -- but Apple shipped me a return box overnight and overnighted me the replacement unit, no hassle whatsoever.
The 6 hour battery can be a bit of a pain -- the powering down jingle is possibly the saddest song in the world. But if you get into the habit of charging them at night it's enough to get you through a normal day. And connecting is rarely an issue -- unless you try to connect to another neighbouring device, like your Mac. Total nightmare, as is getting reconnected with your iPhone again afterward. Sounds like the W1 chip solves that, but I'm not about to drop another $200 just to do away with that occasional issue.
All that said, I still love these things -- one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Just because it comes from a woman doesn't mean it's not sexist.
I admit that I don't think I recognized half the folks in the video, her included.
Not sure if this is a good time to drop a Beats by Dre ad right now considering all the outrage at Dr Dre because of the Surviving Compton movie that aired a few days ago...
