Good headphones to go with Mac?

How do I know they are poor or are going to be poor if they are not out, nobody has used them and more importantly, I have not used them???
They might be the best headphones ever, they might just be okay or they might suck.. I won't know until I try them and I generally don't look at things with my eyes and mind closed.. They will get a chance and I'll evaluate them with real world usage..
So yes, I will buy them.. Are they poor? Who knows unless you have some inside information and / or extended hands on time with them (Beats X) that you'd like to share..
Great advice. If you really want to find out about headphones, visit this site:

How do you find the AirPods?I use Airpods with my MBP
The freedom of movement is fantastic!
I actually saw someone on the underground yesterday with the AirPods and had a little giggle to myself, they just look funny hanging down like that. lol
Can you elaborate on the range? About how far can you get away from your source while maintaining reliable operation? Thanks!
Did you check out the site I recommended? Sorry, would help you out more, but we're 2 people down at work this week, so I'm swamped.

400ft!?!? Maybe across a field, but not in real life situations I'm guessing. I've not heard Bluetooth go anywhere near that.
I think it's a bit unfair to say Beats are awful but there are certainly better headphones available for the money. I had to dump my Beats headphones for reasons unrelated to sound quality but I was glad in a way as I was able to go back to Grado headphones. They may not look cool, which doesn't bother me as I don't wear them in public, but the sound quality and clarity is superb.
Apologies...we've had a bit of thread drift! I can't really as I'm not keen on them and only rarely use the ones that came with my iPhone.
I was reading the updates on this thread and was thinking this very same bit. That web site is amazing, and amazingly to the point! Cheers! +1
I can confirm the sound is not impressive on the Bose QC35 and the Noise Cancellation is ok. I like that I don't feel like I have ti baby them when handling them though and that they come in a travel case.
Unlike my Parrot Zik 3.0 which I love for the amazing sound reproduction (use the companion app to tweak it to your liking). I feel like I have to handle them with care but they are superb.
I have to get the Sony MDR-1000X to see what they are worth.
The QC35 are for sale if anyone is looking for a pair and save $50 on retail.
They'll come in their box and all if its original contents. Used them very gently (I take care of all my toys) for about a month on 3 flights. Send me a message if you are interested.

It started me down a very fun, but expensive path, towards maximizing my listening pleasure!
Sound quality is better than the wired version, especially the bass. No more getting tangled to cords when you move around. Lasts Just a little over 6 hours. Music or video pauses when you take one of them off your ear, resumes when you put it back on. Activates instantly. I used wireless over and on ears before, but the Airpods, albeit not as good sounding due to having no form of noise isolation, are the most convenient for me.
I wish Apple had designed them like the Bragi Dash: the best fit I have ever felt/ seen.
The AirPods need to go in the ear canal to offer any sort of noise reduction and better sound reproduction.
Totally agree, there is no way you can wear these on the daily commute and underground!
I had these and the Sony MDR-1000X, gave away the Bose QC35. The sound is far superior and NC about the same. Battery about the same. Comfort about the same.
