Would have been nice to mention the case has a battery in it, and charging the AirPods in the case for 15 minutes gives you 3 more hours of listening. And, that can be done many times on one charge of the case (for up to 24 hours of listening). Can't wait to get my hands on these things...
Turns out they're AAC with Apple devices. So they should sound pretty good. Why Phil didn't focus on that in the keynote I have no idea.
I don't think you understand what "Hands-on" means
Ok, I saw how you double tap for Siri, but how to you change the volume, start/stop, etc., without the wired mic/volume control on the current EarPods?
