I forget if they were coming out with a new set of AirPods or just selling a wireless charging case separately?

I'm ready to finally purchase a pair after seeing people on the board talk highly of them. Just trying to see if I should wait a few months or pull the trigger now.

They're only $160. Although, with black Friday around the corner, maybe wait and check out if any stores are going to have a sale on them.

My impression is that there isn't a new version, they're just releasing the charging case separately.

Wish they'd do black ones.

For those that have the Apple Watch and AirPods?


Which do you think is more valuable? Thinking about getting one now and one around Christmas time.

I currently don't have a fitness tracker or a good set of headphones. My current bluetooth headphones were $15 and a I have to reconnect them every time I go to use them.

I just purchased the Watch today because I'm training for some upcoming runs, and I really wanted a wearable tracker. The AirPods likely won't be far behind.

Pro Tip: This seller doesn't charge sales tax LINK

Thanks!

I have a tax exempt card with Best Buy.
I went ahead and got the Air Pods. Picking them up later tonight.

I will get the watch closer to Christmas time.

Are the AirPods that much of a game changer? I just picked up the cellular watch myself and now am looking for wireless headphones. I’ve seen a few articles that indicate there are much cheaper competing products that are on par if not better for half the price. And drawback to non Apple Bluetooth headphones?

I'll let you know in a few weeks. Only got one use out of them so far. Going to try and play some tennis and shoot some basketball in them this evening. Really want to see how well they stay in my ears.


How much do you like the watch? I need to look in how much of a difference it is from the regular 3 to the cellular one. I'd rather save the money where I can if it's not that big of a difference.

Just bought a pair 2 weeks ago and work like a charm. They are definitely no over the ear Bose but great sound. They hold in place good and definitely more comfortable than the wrap around beats. I have yet to hook them up with my tv but they should be able to work as well.

I started with a regular three and tried it out for a week. From that short period I realized the cellular would be that much better for me and I returned the regular one. Just having the freedom to go 30 or 40 feet away from my phone is well worth the extra $70 on the phone. I find myself now not necessarily needing to grab my phone to do basic task like checking text messages and emails.
I’ll hopefully be taking it for a few phone free runs soon and I expect the cellular to really excel in that regard as well.

They let you just return things after use? No questions asked?
