OMG. I just pee'd a little in my pants. How cool would this be?  No "helmet" on your head??

i wanna drive with them on. LOL 

Hummm. So where's the "hands on" part. I mean some dude was shown accidentally wearing them LOL but how about... oh I don't know... how they sound?  How they feel?  Did they sound better or the sane as the current plugged in models. You know... an actual review. I mean why write "hands on with..." if you're not going to say anything about them?

maybe I'm just to demanding. 
LOL

Hopefully, they hired some acoustic engineers to try and make them sound good.

You should try out the new Beats Studio Wireless some time. As I've before in this Forum, they're the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The acoustics are outstanding.

I've been touting the same thing about "Studio" on here myself. We are a mastering facility and they have excellent high to low balance. They quickly expose what needs to be corrected without having to go to the Tanoys and I even use Powerbeats2 as a companion for proofing as well when I require a lot of moving around (cycling, driving, etc). I will say though in fairness the rest of the Beats lineup is crap.  I don't mean Beats professional line up from Studio, I mean all the lower end models below Studio. They're just thin, brittle and non-appealing to listen to,but STUDIO is worth every penny.

I wonder if this patch was in iOS 10 beta 7 and its why they rushed it out last Friday.

I guess it's ok to talk about it now... beta 7 was rushed out after I found a serious serious battery issue that caused the battery to drop rapidly. I found it Monday after beta 6 , but I thought maybe my charger wasn't working properly so I just dismissed it. 

Then Tuesday morning I grabbed my phone at 7:00am after charging all night and started to read a book. In 30 minutes my battery dropped to 84%!  Holy crap. After another 30 minutes 64%. And so on and so on. 

I immediatrly called my contact on the inside in engineering and explained what was going on and proof that it wasn't just my fault hone. My roommate complained Monday that by 12:30 his phone completely died and needed me to bring him a charger. He's a pharmacy manager and they use it to check drug interactions if the computer gets moving too slowly. I also told him that I had been taking screen shots to have proof. 

My contact sent me a program they use at Apple to "log" battery activity (I'm trying to be as vague as possible abd word things carefully so I don't get into trouble). 

After installing and getting the initial info to them, they had me re-charge my phone to 100% and start over, I also sent a screen shot every 15 minutes to show how quickly the draining was. By noon I had only 2% so I sent it quickly then it died. 

Kerp in mind I had NOTHING open and NOTHING running. I even stopped reading. I just left it on the table next to the laptop. 

The next day they sent me a version of IOS to see if it fixed it the problem. It did and the following day beta 7 came out. Now everything is working correctly.

I thought it was strange when they released beta 7 there were no release notes but my friend said the word "battery" is a word they try to avoid using at all costs because mentioning it causes people to start obsessing with their device and even a 1% differential and people start reporting "the sky is falling the sky is falling". 

The main thing is they were able to identify "it" (the problem) quickly and (the battery life) is actually working better than it has during any of the 6 previous betas. I want to say exactly what is was but I was reminded of the NDA about 100 times during the process of testing and fixing so... just glad it's fixed and even improved now. I swear I'm getting an extra hour than I was before. I guess that's the obsessing thing they try to avoid. GRIN
