The author is a fanboi; I, and countless others have seen these as the most idiotic, expensive geek crap ever, solving a problem that they themselves created at 50x the price. It will sell a lot of Androids.
“I would lose them in about 10 seconds...”
Maybe someone could figure out a way to tether them together. Better still, how about tethering them both to the phone? Oh, wait...
Without foam pads the earbuds are useless. With foam pads over them, they are just fine. I looked around for other reasonable earbuds that had an inline microphone, but couldn’t find anything likeable under several hundred dollars. The Apple wired earbuds are awesome in my opinion for price/performance. I’ve already blown out some of my hearing due to rock n roll and I like my heavy metal loud, so it’s nice to just be able to replace the Apple earbuds every 6-18 months when I blow them out. I think the bluetooth market is really going to take off with some nice earpods that don’t fetch prices up to $800.00 for wired earbuds like some “high-end audiophile” lines have now.
This is an ad for apple products and has nothing to do with conservatism or repealing government largess.

Not a single word of truth in your entire delusional post. Fact: the competition' similar Bluetooth stereo earbuds with less battery life cost $229 to $249 a pair. Apple's are only $159 a pair. So sorry to so easily sink your toy boat again.
By-the-way, they aren't manufactured anywhere near Beijing. Another set of lies.
I’m with you on apple iPhone speakers. They don’t fit my ear, and always fall out. No way I would buy wireless iPhone buds.
Plus they look stupidly similar to ear gauge/ear ring jewelry.
NO SALE
he must be talking about November 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th . . .how many ugly days 2016 has thrown at us so far.
Heh heh . . .
I’d like to see a real review of these.
I’ve been wireless for a couple of years due to the fact that wired earphones ALWAYS short out at the plug.
I’ve had good luck with these for running and mountain biking:
Should note: Mine are black which seem to be soldout right now.

We got 2 pair in for eval purposes. As noted earlier, it is loose for my right ear. The sound is very good. Not great but better than the ear buds. But, because of my distorted right ear - I give them a pass. Personally, I think they look dorky.
Our designers are meh on the design. I think most will continue to use what they use now - buds or good quality headphones when in the office.
