    Has anyone been able to pair their W1-equipped Beats to non-Apple devices?

    I recently picked up a pair of Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones and I love them. They sound great and it's super convenient switching them out with all my apple products. But I also have a Samsung 4K TV that has the option to output sound via Bluetooth that I'd like to pair them with, but when...

    What went wrong with the AirPods and USB-C

    I am an apple sheep, I love everything apple makes. But sometimes I need to admit that they are pretty stupid. Apple wants to go into the future with usb-c, they knew they where doing this when the iPhone 7 came out. Why didn't they make the 7 with an usb-c port? They didn't do that because...

    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...

    Apple Watch W1 chip?

    What does everyone think of the possibility of the W1 chip coming to future Apple Watches and iPhones? It could lead to a much more energy efficient connection between the iPhone and Apple Watch as opposed to a regular Bluetooth connection. Do you see this as a possibly or is it even...

    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...
