Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

PowerBetas3 with W1-chip have low-latency, low-quality (sound/comfort), and high battery-life. It also doesn't have multi-point, so it cannot easily switch between Apple devices (i.e. it can only connect to one device at a time). Note: AirPods and Solo are the same. On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 12:37

RE: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

So hang on, Beets have released a set of headphones with the W1 chip in them? Crazy that apple would allow beets to release their headphones before apple release their ear ods first, I know they are the same company but still I would have thought apple would be releasing theirs first. From:

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

I think it all depends on when things get sourced, parts are finished and assembly takes place. Apple likes to build up a big supply before they let something go. You have a very good point I just figure something in the supply chain held something up and they didn’t want to stall on the

RE: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

I was talking to ssomeone at apple today about these and asked them if they worked on the earlier devices such as 6 and 6s range, Seemingly the w1 chip in the pods works with the iPhone 7 but works with / beside standard Bluetooth, If your phone is an earlier device then the pods will use BT

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

I wonder why they're not released until end of October. It would have been great to pre-order AirPods along the iPhone 7 and Watch Series 2. On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 8:10 PM David Chittenden wrote: > Hello, > > The new Apple Air Pods, using Apple's new chip, are Bluetooth

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

Hello, The new Apple Air Pods, using Apple's new chip, are Bluetooth with an additional technology which, according to Apple, removes all delay from the audio. So, there should not be any delay in VoiceOver. The Air Pods will automatically switch between mono and stereo depending on whether

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

Do the AirPods address the inherit lag that is on *all* bluetooth audio devices, which is pronounced when using *any* screen reader? i.e. Hope the latency will be equivalent between lightning EarPods and wireless AirPods when using VoiceOver. On Sat, Sep 10, 2016 at 2:32 PM Robin

Bluetooth. Have read that there is no pairing button. May be right that there is one pairing button on the airbuds case. Is W1 chip the one that is in the airbuds and beats headphones? Take care > 9. sep. 2016 kl. 15.53 skrev Scott Granados : > > Did a little more reading

Did a little more reading on this. Seems the W1 is used in the phone and the pods and your dead on traditional bluetooth is supported. We’ll also be seeing this chip appear in other devices it looks like. I’m all for Apple stepping up it’s bluetooth game, this has been a weak area. > On Sep

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

Hi Scott. No, you're incorrect. The iPhone itself does not have the W one chip, that is in the air pots. It uses iCloud to propagate the set up of the air pots to your phone and your watch to other Apple devices running iOS 10, or OS X sierra. Also that includes watchOS 3. It does have standard

Re: AirPods hands-on: They stayed in my ears and sounded awesome

The edge is pretty old, I don’t think it will be as good. I forget which bluetooth spec it speaks, time to hit google and see if I can be more helpful here. Looks like the 5220 speaks a newer revision of bluetooth. > On Sep 9, 2016, at 4:23 AM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > >

I don’t see how this works though. The iPhone has a specific W1 chip included. I don’t know if bluetooth is the underlying wireless protocol but none of the other devices have this W1 chip. So how will my EarPods talk to my iPad air2 for example with no W1 processor? Must be some sort of

hang On, so if I pair these pods to my iPhone 6s+ which is running IOS 10, and if my watch is running OS3 and my iPad and iPods are all running IOS 10 as well, these pods will automatically be picked up by those other devices? Simply because I’m using my itunes account on all the devices.
