Finally time to ditch my Powerbeats 2 and sell my Airpod 1 for like $70
At $329.95 Canadian ... I have to consider the following:
Apple Canada allows AirPods as trade-in for PowerBeats Pro (they do to lower price of iPhones I've seen last week).
Wait until June ... buy 1.5 stocks in Apple and keep until end of year, continually buying more.
Buy 3 ... sell 1 on Kijiji, the other on eBay and ship globally at a profit to offset price of 3rd which I'll keep.
decisions.

Why would you speak any differently than when holding a phone to your ear?
LOL. Have you never come across a person talking loud when wearing headphones? Part of how we control our voice (volume wise) is hearing our voice back through our ears. This gets made worse by headphones that are good at isolating outside sounds.
Muahaha ... I cannot wait to see the look on
@az431 's face when he/she comes across and behind someone talking on the phone with a bluetooth headset and thinks their crazy, lol. Circa 2005.
The worst I've seen is people with a wired EarPods on their iPhone (or other phone brand) practically swallowing their microphone to speak - makes me laugh out my nose every time. Especially those that treat their phone like a PopTart trying to eat it to talk on the phone's mic itself.

Apologies for being slightly OT but for wearers of headphones that enable you to take a call, how do you know that you aren’t speaking too loudly? I’d feel very self conscious taking a call in this manner.
Then again I’d die of embarrassment if I had to say “hey Siri” in public. I hate saying it to my homepods and that’s in the privacy of my own home!
Simple ... speak in a normal tone of voice as if someone is right in front of you on a quite day. Or ... in the same small room. At least until they say they cannot hear you.
I'm STILL wanting to and waiting for us to pre-program the command "Hey Siri" into what we feel like:
- Twiki (Buck Rogers) would be mine.

I disagree, the Powerbeats looks better for workouts which is what I use my Airpods the most for. Everytime I'm biking I worry about one of them slipping out, it hasn't happened and I don't think it will but the waterproof and clips around my ear would give me piece of mind.
I'm upgrading to those once my Airpod's battery crap out (which is likely in the next 6-12 months).
I'm going to really like these!
Working out at the gym with various exercises these will have a huge benefit for me:
Bench Press, Incline Bench Press (barbell/dumbell) my AirPods tend to get very loose and fall out.
Chin-ups ... when letting go the bar there is about a 1.5FT drop to the ground, that tends to dislodge my AirPod's out.
Squats ... I could not use the Beats Studios cause well I'm bald and thus the band at the top doesn't hold onto anything and the headset slides to my neck which gets in the way of the barbell; and very distracting.
I wonder if even half the people on here are active enough to even justify the intent of these earphones?
Oh I'm very active ... began bodybuilding again after 4yrs ago ... I go 5 days a week on a 3 workout split ... sometimes twice a day.
