Fitness-focussed in-ears get the W1 treatment
Great battery life ; Solid bass response ; Good wireless range
A bit bass-heavy ; Fit could be better ; High price

Supremely practical buds with a more-than-decent sound
Good fit ; Great battery ; Bassy, fun sound

They're not the best in-ears around from an audio perspective, but the fact they keep going and going, stay securely in your ears and pump the bass
W1 pairing with Apple products is so convenient ; Long battery life ; Secure fit

Pricey, but still the best sports headphones iPhone 7 owners can get

Competing models are just as good or better and cost less; not a major upgrade over Powerbeats2 Wireless.
The PowerBeats3 Wireless is a decent step up over its predecessor, but it's no bargain in an increasingly crowded market for wireless sports headphones.
