You do understand that their are plenty of wireless headphones on the market, right? And that their is a large selection that are cheaper (and look nicer) than the Airpods, right?

Well I guess a grammar policeman working on the forums is a step up from the YouTube comment section. But I still think they try to tell people things they already know. I already knew that grammar officer. Where are these people when you need them to work on autocorrect?

How many times are you going to edit your post until you decide on the best response? Is that the best you've got for all your soap-box "I told you so" posts?
And I'm going to laugh at you for getting so worked up about $160 set of headphones... their are so many options on the market that it literally doesn't matter when they come out.
Your definition of cancelled isn't Apple's... or anybody else's. Sorry to admit but you're wrong.
Also, care to provide evidence to your claims about why Apple removed the Jack? From the start, it was water resistance and room for the haptic engine and battery... straight from the iPhone launch event.

Essentially not releasing a phone this fall...? Yea, no. If Apple didn't own beats, I'd agree, but with the plethora of quality wireless earphones and headsets available, this is a non issue - nules cone who only buys things with an Apple logo.
Honestly, I have a pair of PowerBeats 3 and the primary reason for me to want AirPods or even BeatsX is to phase away Micro-USB as much as possible, I already have the Apple Smart Battery Case which charges via Lightning, my Apple Watch which has it's own charger, iPad which charges via Lightning so if I get the AirPods/BeatsX then I got practically stop using Micro-USB minus one Mophie as a fail-safe just in case I need to charge any of the aforementioned devices so essentially I can wait, hopefully not until 2017 but I definitely can wait for them.
This is the most cringe worthy thread I've read through in a while. They're just wireless headphones, relax... If they haven't come out yet then there's nothing you can do besides wait. End of story. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.
And why should anyone listen to you? If people want to wait for them, it has 0 impact on you. So stop with all the crap. It's a damn pair of headphones. I might buy them I might not, but no one on this thread needs to deal with your soap-box BS.
That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm gonna zip my lips.
For now. But January 1st you know what's coming.
I'm more concerned about how Digital Audio composition gear will evolve along with USB-C:
AKG MPC's and such,
Speakers from JBL, Polk Audio, KRS, etc ... what will DJ's and musicians connecting to their old mac's due when they upgrade to the new late 2016 MBP ? sorry if off-topic but similar

As if this thread wasn't already teetering off the rails. Now Tim Cook "Confirms" the release of the Airpods. Maybe you should notify the editors for a MacRumors, so they can post an article on your findings.
LOLOLOL are you trolling? Apple literally never said they removed the headphone jack so they could create air pods.
And cancelled means never coming out ever. That's the definition.

He didn't say two weeks (assuming it's really him). He said few weeks. Few could be 3, 4, 5.
Typically Cook has a league of advisors who assist in his daily E-mails and a reply directly from him is unlikely, but possible. Also, excellent point,@Canyonero misquoted there own post, it's not "Two weeks", it's weeks as You mentioned.
Are you expecting us to take that seriously? because i think the majority of us don't. If that was genuinely from Tim Cook, why wouldn't the email show Tim's email address for a start.

Exactly, but Apple have not mentioned the word CANCELLED, they have said delayed, but the thread starter seems to think that Apple has cancelled the AirPods.
I'm surprised by the amount of reviews and videos posted about these in September. Apple gave out a few samples to media for a few days as if these were supposed to launch with the iPhone 7...
I'm warming up to the idea though if sound quality is "incredible" as Jony Ive said.
