Sorry, it was a sarcastic reply. They've just been announced and no one knows how they actually sound. I suspect they're just the regular EarPods speakers with wireless capability.
What is this Airbus? You should trademark that word before Apple gets it.

Dang...and they still charging us $159 for them.
Nice features they added but They need to up the Audio Quality.
So people have headphones they want to use but don't want to use the adapter but somehow using other headphones would solve the issue? How does using other headphones help them use their headphones? And if using other headphones helps them somehow, they could then simply use the headphones that are included with the phone which don't need an adapter.

And how does that relate to lack of a headphone jack given that all the iPhones on sale so far have one?
Also how does having witless earphones included--which is what you stated this thread about--address anything related to the headphone jack being gone?
I will just cut the wires off my old wired earpiece, put the tips in my ears, and talk to myself while walking around in public. No one will no the difference! 
Dah.....knocks on head with cane.....anyone home?
Wireless = Bluetooth
W1 chip = low power, increased functionality, no more wait for pairing nonsense, connection to other Apple devices, watch, iPad, Mac. Accelerometers detect double tap to answer phone, Siri commands, no switches, sensors to detect when in ear, single or duel mode automatic.
Totally. They're basically the same shape as earpods and I see those flying out of ears with explosive force on the tube all the time. Those things are taking eyes out*
*not really though. its pretty silly, isn't it
"Safe to use"
Apple iPod batteries blew up and Samsung batteries get hot. Just remember that when you stick two tiny batteries into your ears.

Yeah I'd rather have a case and extra chargers in the box too but it's a ridiculous fantasy that makes zero sense
Actually the batteries don't go into the ears. The battery is in the stem outside the ear. But always be careful with any Li Ion battery if it get really hot.
Will Airpods work with iPhone 6s and can I pair it with other devices that use Bluetooth? I question this because Airpods use special W1 chip to pair, it's still using Bluetooth connection but handshaking part is handle by W1. I want to pair it to my TV so I can listen wirelessly.
