How is the fit? Are they secure when running and shifting head position? Do they slip out? Sound quality as good as in-ear buds?
When I use the regular headphones that come with the phone, they slip out of my ear sometimes because i have somewhat smaller ears than most which is why i use in-ear buds most of the time. I'm wondering if they're secure and if the sound quality is good before i make the purchase.

AnswerThey won’t pair at the same time but yes I have been able to pair them with three different phones very easily. Not sure if there is a cut off as far as number of devices but at least three different phones and a total of 7 different Apple devices.

Might a future update to the AirPods allow them to provide "noise cancelling" capabilities? See description below for the logic behind my question.
The descriptive text states: "when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with beamforming microphones to filter out background noise...." Because of this statement, I'm hoping it can be changed for more "full time" use -- optionally, for when I'm flying -- I'd like to avoid needing to take a separate set of specialize headphones. I understand that this might not be possible -- because you'd probably then need a bigger battery OR you might be able to communicate with the iPhone to provide the actual noise cancelling -- you already have the microphones needed.....

AnswerDon't think AirPods will change its design to include noise cancelling.
But do checkout Apple's Beats line of headphones. They have W1 chip and do have offerings in different shapes and functionalities. If there is going to be a noise cancelling model, it is likely that they will be added under the Beats side of product line. -
