Will those $20 headphones switch seamlessly between devices, stop playing when not in the ear, have beam forming microphones, charging container, charge for 3hours in 15 minutes?
- kyriakos 10y agoProbably that and more. Xiaomi is actually really good.
- falcolas 10y agoThe seamless switching is going to be handled by the devices (thus the comments about pairing being shared via iCloud), not the headphones alone. Beamforming with two microphones creates a plane of enhanced sound, so anything directly in front (or behind) of you will be as enhanced as your voice is. 15 minutes of not having access to your headphones is not a trivially short amount of time, nor is 3 hours a reasonably long amount of time. I've had conference calls and remote coding sessions last longer than that, not to mention music listening periods.
- andrewvijay 10y agoThey will not do. That's okay though. I can switch off music by myself. Audio quality and ease of use are the only things that matter in head phones for me. And correction: charge was said to be 5 hours in the keynote.
- WayneBro 10y agoProbably not. But I bet the $20 pair will work a lot longer than 5 hours per charge. I have wireless headsets that last 20 hours on a charge. 5 measly hours is ridiculous and it makes all those other features "not worth it".
- J5892 10y agoNo, but they'll sound 10x better, and won't fall out of my ears every time a soft breeze grazes my head.
