    Audio Lag when Playing Through PowerBeats3

    I got a pair of the newest PowerBeats, and they have definitely not been anywhere close to spectacular. I received these as a Christmas gift, and I'm already on my second pair. The first shorted out after I worked out in them for a little more than a week (thankfully AppleCare shipped me another...

    PowerBeats3 at retailers other than Apple?

    Anyone have any idea when the PowerBeats 3s will be available from other retailers? I have some Best Buy gift cards that I would love to put towards some PowerBeats3. I know they just started shipping from Apple, but I haven't seen them available to preorder from anywhere else. Thanks!

    Beats Studio's loudness compared to Solo

    Hi, I've just compared my Beats Studio Wireless' loudness to a pair of Beats Solo (2 or 3), it seems like the Solo version is much louder than Studio at the same volume level on the iPhone. How is it possible? Is it a bug?

    iPhone 7 Plus/Beats Solo 3/W1 Chip

    Hey all! Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the new Beats Solo 3 Wireless/W1 Chip and their iPhone 7. I just bought the Solo 3's a few days ago. The ease of pairing is unbelievable, and the ease of switching between iPhone and iPad is a huge plus. However, I do have a problem...

    W1 Chip Question

    Is the W1 chip in the AirPods and the new PowerBeats3 just in the headphones? I have a 6S Plus and an Apple Watch Series 2, will I be able to take advantage of the easy pairing if I get a pair of headphones with the W1 in them? Thanks! Macaddict16

    Beats Solo 3 - Keep needing to re-pair

    Anyone else got these? They've been fine for the most part. However it seems after they've been turned off for a few hours the next time you turn them on they don't automatically pair, you have to put them close to the phone again and click the little dialog box to say 'connect'. Pretty sure it...

    Beats Solo 3?

    I'm not usually a fan of headphones but there's something about the Solo 3 and those 40 hours of battery life. I'm sold on the w1 chip, however I can't decide if i should go for something smaller like the airpods. The airpods will be much smaller to move around with and also just use one...

    iPhone 7 - Solo HD 3.5mm to Lighting Cable

    Here's a good question. Does/Will Apple sell a 3.5mm to lighting cable for existing Beats headphones? Since the cable can be removed from my beats I'd like to skip the need for the dongle.
