Powerbeats3 with W1 chip now available


The $199.95 Powerbeats3 earphones are now available for ordering from Apple and Beats. They're expected to deliver the first couple weeks of November. The headphones utilize the same W1 chip as Apple's $159 AirPods that aims to make wireless pairing a seamless experience.

The advantage here is it gives you another option to experience Apple's attempt at simplifying wireless listening without Apple's AirPods. Other two options are Beats Solo3 and the still upcoming BeatsX.

I'm most interested in the BeatsX because I prefer in-ear phones with rubber inserts vs earbuds.
