      This the result of rushing out in the market. The product is not test in all situation and function. Every manufacturer are rushing to bring out new product and go lucky for the people who going to buy.
      Be wise to spent your hard earned money! Good luck!

        Does it really matter? It would look really fancy earring covering your earholes!

          This is the counterpart to the Note7 release which was rushed. These will not be rushed and will work like they should, although it takes some time

              apple has said AirPod earpieces each receive independent signals from an iPhone, Mac or other Apple device. But Apple must ensure that both earpieces receive audio at the same time to avoid distortion, the person familiar with their development said

                AnonD-558092, 10 Dec 2016I thought they didn't released it because they were aware t... moreYou don't even know what you're talking about. Just to bash apple, I suppose? You're not even being forced to buy these things.

                  Those are pretty valid concerns! May be they could implement it like the JBL "Connect" works in a daisy chain fashion.

                  Having the source stream to both the units at the same time is not a good idea in the first place IMO. The other unit should be smart enough to auto connect back to the source in an event of losing the first one or when that is out of power. Just my two cents!

                                I thought they didn't released it because they were aware that non-Apple users will not buy these overpriced earphones while they can buy similar quality, less expensive Bluetooth headsets. I bet they are looking for arguments to make Android users buy it, which may explain the delay. But they should hurry, Christmass is coming soon!

                                    Wired Headphones have no problem with distortions pretty much why wired internet connection have low latency, less bad packets, faster or maximized speed, less prone to distorions, etc. compared to WiFi.

                                    That's why gamers or remote connections are suggested to directly connect via lan cables.

                                        Maybe they should have had these completely ready to go before removing the headphone jack on their phone?

                                        Fail...
