Pass. 
I'm not interested for several reasons.
First based on my experience with EarPods, I expect they will be hugely uncomfortable. 
Second, based on EarPods I expect they won't stay in my ears.
Now I can already hear people saying "you have to try them". No. I tried EarPods and they were uncomfortable. I tried EarPods with the wires cut off, and they still fell out. Maybe my ears aren't "typical" shape but EarPods were such a utter failure for me that I'm not going to drop a couple hundred on something the same size and shape that I'm absolutely convinced will not work. 
The third reason is hygiene. Just a week or so ago I ran across an article on cleaning your AirPods. It showed close up pictures of all the nasty wax and crud that builds up inside them. No thanks. I'll keep using $10 wired earbuds that I can throw away every few months. They're good enough for when I'm working in the yard, working out, or whatever and when they get to be unsanitary, they're gone. When I want good audio quality I use my muff style noise cancelling earphones.

Wow, had no idea the whole Vertical Video thing was such an emotional subject. Doesn’t it depend on the subject matter. Like a video with tall buildings, redwood trees, etc., etc?

”TVs are horizontal, computer screens are horizontal, movies screens are horizontal”, books are . . . oops, no, newspapers are . . . oops, no. I know that the last two aren’t moving images, but a computer screen subject isn’t always either. 

Let’s embrace diversity and artistic expression!

I've always wondered why in most cases, iPhone batteries have less capacity than Android smartphones. Is Apple simply trying to save money on batteries or just trying to keep the iPhone bulk low? Anyway, I just thought it was odd for Apple to give up battery capacity to Android smartphones of similar size.
