Not that I know of.
Only shipping products are Beats Solo 3, Powerbeats 3.
Beats X and Airpods are W1 enabled but not shipping yet.
I hope they open W1 up to third parties but I guess they will want to keep it in house to control quality etc.

Most of the great noise-cancellers are pretty expensive and none have the W1 chip. What headphones do you have right now?
The W1 chip is Apple's proprietary technology so unless they themselves release headphones with noise cancelling or licence the technology to third party companies I very much doubt it.
Waiting on the next gen Studio headphones to have the W1, but not getting my hopes up for a version any time soon. The current Studios are a great price in the right store online, however.
They may not be your cup of tea, but the solo 3's are actually pretty decent.
I feel beats instantly get negative reviews which in the past has been justified . I owned some Solo HDs back in the day and they were awful.
The solo3's are a good feel and the sound, with the right tweaks, is pretty solid.
Yes. The Beats Studio 3s include the Apple W1 Wireless chip, and the ability to turn the noise-cancelling off, when you are in a quiet environment (unlike the 1s and 2s).
