The $159 (£159) wireless earphones are now available to buy online with Apple vowing to start deliveries next week. The earbuds will also land in Apple Stores and other selected retailers next week.

The Laughing Cavalier was a true gent and the two figures lurking in The Scream were the artist's friends: Secrets behind masterpieces are revealed in new book
Paintings such as The Scream (top-right) and The Laughing Cavalier (top-center) have graced art books and walls for so long now that they almost seem commonplace. But within those paintings - and many more - lie rarely known details (circled in red) that bring them to life all over again. Those details form the basis for Susie Hodge's new book Art in Detail: 100 Masterpieces, CNN reported. These paintings - which also include (counter-clockwise from top left) Joseph the Carpenter, Entry of the Crusaders in Constantinople, are some of the most fascinating and illuminating.
The mystery of the 'brightest supernova ever seen': Astronomers reveal explosion a trillion times brighter than the sun was actually a supermassive black hole shredding a distant star
Last year, astronomers at the Dark Cosmology Centre in Denmark spotted an explosion a trillion times brighter than the sun that they dubbed the 'brightest supernova ever seen.' But that massive explosion of light, which outshone the whole Milky Way, wasn't a supernova at all, but a supermassive black hole. According to a new study, the black hole was in the process of shredding a distant star that wandered to close, creating an incredible amount of light.
The weirdest AI chatbot ever? Microsoft reveals 'what if' face mashup system that can you show everything from Voldemort in Kiss to Donald Trump in Game of Thrones
There are often those moments in life that cause us to wonder, ‘what if’ – but, Microsoft’s new chatbot might make you wish you never had. The new bot called ‘Murphy’ generates mashup images for any hypothetical face combination, with hilarious, and often terrifying, results. Pictured on the top row are the MurphyBot’s take on ‘what if I were a superhero,’ ‘what if Tim Cook were Siri,’ and ‘what if Yoda were BB-8?’ The bottom row shows, ‘what if Chewbacca were Yoda,’ ‘what if Trump were Cersei Lannister,’ and ‘what if Voldemort were in Kiss?’
How SpaceX makes its rockets: Elon Musk tweets hypnotic 'spinning fire' video of giant nozzle's taking shape
Elon Musk has revealed a glimpse at one of the mesmerizing processes that helps bring a SpaceX rocket to life. The CEO tweeted a video of a rocket nozzle being manufactured, showing the cone-shaped component spinning under the fire of numerous torches. While the video offers little detail on the technology, many have speculated that the nozzle will eventually be used for one of the firm's Falcon 9 rockets.
The hypersonic concept jet that could travel from London to New York in two hours via SPACE
A new hypersonic jet could ferry passengers from London to New York in just two hours, its designers claim. On its flight, the Paradoxal aircraft would also include a short suborbital trip to space, enabling passengers to gaze down at the Earth and stars. The experimental aircraft, which has a blended wing body similar to Nasa concept designs, is still very much at concept phase. The designs were published on Canadian site Imaginactive , a hub for vehicle designers. They are the work of Juan Garcia Mansilla, an industrial designer based in Buenos Aires, while the concept was originally thought up by the site's founder Charles Bombadier.

Back from the dead: Haunting reconstruction lets you look into the eyes of a Neolithic man who was beheaded 9,500 years ago
The 'Jericho skull' was found in Palestine by British archaeologists in 1953. Until now nobody knew what the man had looked like, but micro-CT scans unveiled a ream of new information about the skull, and inspired the Museum to undertake a full plaster reconstruction. The reconstructed head will be displayed in the British Museum in London.
Take a trip over Mawrth Vallis: Stunning simulated flyover of Martian surface reveals the vast valley scientists say is the 'best bet' for signs of alien life
Based on images taken by ESA’s Mars Express, it shows a flight over Mawrth Vallis, a 600 km-long, 2 km-deep outflow channel at the boundary of the southern highlands and the northern lowlands of Mars. It is one of the largest valleys on Mars, and scientists say it may have been habitable up to 3.6 billion years ago.
Incredibly bizarre moment a snake 'plays dead' by remaining completely still after realising it can't get away
When approached in Texas, US, the snake began to squirm vigorously to get away but, realising it can't, it stopped dead, mouth gaping and contorts its neck to appear as if it is broken. The eastern indigo snake was spotted on the ground by Eric Johnson, who noticed the unusual behaviour. The reptile remains limp and lifeless as Mr Johnson inspected it, but when the self-taught snake expert stepped away it 'came back to life', darting its tongue forward as if nothing is wrong. Even stranger though, as he approached the strange serpent once more and waves his hand over its head, the snake once again returns to its seemingly lifeless state on demand, as if being conducted by his movement.
Take the mind-bending tests that reveal how our brain 'makes up' part of our peripheral vision
The world around you might not be exactly as it seems. In a new study, researchers have found that some of what we see in the periphery – the areas just outside our eye’s direct focus – could be a visual illusion. A series of ‘uniformity illusions’ reveals this phenomenon at work, as our brain ‘fills in’ part of the scene to make up for our less accurate peripheral vision.
