Best Answer:
The Air Pods (the wireless headphones) that was introduced on September 9th are not included in the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus package. You'll have to purchase these additionally. The iPhone 7/7 Plus includes the lightning ear buds.

Answer
The Case is a charging station for the AirPods Period! You can charge the station and then place the pods into the charging station when they need charging... you don't have to charge them together... but the only way to charge the AirPods' themselves is in the charging station...

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. -
The highlights say "Quick access to Siri with a double-tap", but does "Hey, Siri" work as well, for example when wearing a helmet?
I'm thinking here of use while motorcycling, where a full-face helmet (and gloves) precludes tapping

How well will airpods work with hearing aid apps?
Hearing aid apps generall do not work well with Bluetooth earpods because of a latency problem that creates an echo when you are in a conversation. Are these new airpods different?

How quickly can these switch between apple devices? I have iPhone 7, Apple Watch Series 2, and MBP retina.
The only way these really appeal to me over my current bluetooth headphones is that I want to be able to use on all my apple devices seamlessly without having to unpair each time or turn bluetooth off on my iPhone each time. How will the process of switching headphone use from iPhone to MBP and vice versa work?

Answeryou just hit airplay by swiping up from the bottom and select them. takes maybe 2 seconds from start to end. much better than bluetooth only ones
