Then you wouldn't get to choose which one to use on its own. And the short one would have far less battery life.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. The taptic engine looked like it was bolted to the back housing. I wonder if it's because the phone itself has so little mass that the whole thing mores and doesn't make the tap feel localized. Curious if they just had a little pin that tapped the back side of the button area if it would feel more natural.
Gladly.....

I personally love my V-moda Crossfades. I've had 2 pairs of Jaybirds and lost them both. I'm going to actually try the new bragis, kanoas, and airpods when they all come out and compare them all I think just for science

If you have to put stock in anything The Verge says, you might as well just give up on technology and live under a rock.
If you put an iPhone 7 next to a Note 7 and run a speed test, the Samsung will blow the iPhone away.
Literally.
Sorry... couldn't resist...

Everyone complains about wires and then when you take them away everyone complains about the lack of wires. Weird.
I say bring on the new generation of wireless audio. Those EarPods are just the first generation, just imagine where we'll be in 5 years and there on.
Certainly it won't be the same place as we'd be if we'd carried on using wired headphones, which is pretty much exactly the same place as it was both now, and 40 years ago.
Phil was right, dumping old habits does take courage, and it pays off.

Well said.
First thing I thought of when I read complains from people was this old Steve Jobs video...
Decisions are being made, and it's good.
Smelly? I've never owned a pair of earbuds that smelled like anything. Also never had any that developed shorts -- and I run with mine almost daily. If you treat them nice they'll last a long time. Also a good wired pair sounds better than an even more expensive pair of BT. BT isn't there yet in terms of high fidelity sound. It's just not.
Only an Apple fanboy can say something like that. You forget that Apple just removed a feature and made it an option by charging $9 for something that all phones should have out of the box. They just created a new revenue stream and you are applauding. It doesn't matter if it's $30 option, $9 or a 5 cent option. They just purposefully removed a feature and made it an option.
All the foolishness in here. Apple is moving ahead. I keep hearing about S7. You like wired headphones stick with Samsung. They will never lose the headphone jack. With lousy BT connectivity Samsung can't take a chance for another recall, lol...
I bought a pair of $300 noise cancelling headsets earlier in the summer. JUST BEFORE Bose released a bluetooth model
I'll just leave the adapter with the headphones.
Right where you said they'd fall out of your ear into Mount Doom or whatever. Since you clearly have no interest in buying them one is forced to assume you think they will be forced on you
Folksy.
I have no idea what it means, but there's a response emanating from my brainstem making me want to reply "Yup. Sho 'nuff. More scratches than three cats and a grasshopper, right there.".
ya apple is moving ahead alright - TRIPPING OVER IT'S OWN FEET
no small businesses will be coerced into buying new $200 upgrades
What do you mean? I just watched Apple's presentation and I was under the impression they just invented wireless audio.
The guy literally says "Up till now no-one has taken on the challenge to really deliver the audio experience wirelessly between your mobile device and your headphones in a way that takes advantage of the opportunities to do something new".
I guess AptX and NFC pairing never happened?
I'm very disappointed with the way Apple is handling the new iPhone without a headphone jack. The new iPhone 7 and plus should come with the wireless headphones. Why should we have to purchase it separately. That's a Real Bad Apple!!!!
I know they say don't believe everything you read or hear. But I thought this was interesting. One of the "suggested videos" when I looked up AirPods on Youtube.
Try a pair with the aptX codec? I would have said the same thing until I got a pair of really nice Plantronics Pro headphones with both class 1 BT and aptX and I can't go back to wired now. I wish Apple would put class 1 BT chips in the iPhone because it's great being able to wander 300' from the source (my rMBP), without cutting out.
