I say Active lifestyle the Garmin is the best choice.  Just want connection and cool apps then iWatch is the best of the bunch right now. AirPods are junk to me never stay in and low sound quality and isolation.   JayBirds are my favorite workout headphones and I use them as my daily listeners...

Safer than losing your wallet.  Wallet they take what they want and use it.  Phone they have to hack into the phone then hack into the payment system. Prefer only using when possible. 

Never used Applepay the whole time I had an iPhone because it was so limited in where I could use it.  Now that I have an S8 with samsung pay that works everywhere that has NFC or a slide card reader I use phone payments all the time.  Only place I have not been able to use it is the Gas Station...

Agreed. Not a great book but a decent read for the references.  Atari, Trash80, Rush, war Games,etc.

I can't speak to the newer ones but I had a 2002 SS with all the SLP goodies that had 180,000 miles before I sold it.  I think most modern cars will last as long as you take care of them.

I feel like the new control center was broken in iOS 11.  I thought I would get used to it over time but no such luck.  Very cluttered and not good UI implementation.

JayBird has their version of wireless now.  Will have to get a pair and check them out when they are released.  At 179.99 puts them right there with the Apple ones. https://www.jaybirdsport.com/en-us/run-true-wireless-sport-headphones.html

Have you tried the Aftershokz?  They really let you keep track of your surroundings and you can still hear your music clearly.  Sound quality close or equal to your standard $30 headphones but do take some getting used to.  I used them on one long bike ride for MS in my state and they worked...

Never have been a big fan of Bose while they make solid head phones the pair I had presented to much in the lows and  muffled the mids. that and the B&O at the same prices ranges have better sound for me.  Definitely a choice on where you like your sound profile. I have heard the newer...

There is a personal opinion on what you like the sound profile.  I like a more flat sound or pure studio levels. I don't like so much bass that it drowns out the mids and highs.  A tinny speaker will be tinny regardless. Some people might prefer it but it will be tinny regardless.  For example...

This chip looks to be strong.  Just for performance in a phone the X is really the only one to get.  Just not sure I like losing my headphone jack, Touch to unlock, and the notch.   Still looking to migrate to the S8+ just for those reasons but maybe the facial ID wont be as bad as I think I...

Betron, AKG, 1more, Monoprice Panasonic RP, Sony MDR,Sennheiser,etc in the below $20.  If you go up to say $30 to $50 or so you can get Sony, Senhiesser, Marshall, etc. All of which fit and sound better. 

Regardless of fit the sound and noise isolation is lacking so wouldn't use them most of the time.  If I wanted to go with out it I would wear the AfterShokz.  Apple buds are inferior to most brands of head phones.

Could be the issue as I never preferred the ones that came with the phone.
