Wonderful! Very well done! Room to Improve.

Where to start?
Background... I have had many Bluetooth Headsets over the years. Some, I've loved. Others, not so much. But ever since I've been able to listen to my music sans cord, I have. From back in 08-09 with the original Moto S series to Plantronics Back Beat and Back Beat go to the Beats Solo2 Wireless, Studio Wireless and Power beats, I've seen or heard all kinds.
**I was researched and prepared I understood the 60-180 min battery life and I realized the charging time was long.
Thoughts:
Pros:
1. No wires....Zero
2. Perfect fit.
3. Fairly intuitive touch controls once you use them once or twice
4. Sound Quality is better than Power Beats and fell short of the Beats Solo2. Full and clear. Very impressed. I was expecting something closer to Plantronics Back Beats.
5. Very quiet. The sound isolation is awesome.
6. The ambient sound pass-through is also awesome. Robotic, but great way to keep an ear on what's happening around you.
7. The carrying case doubling as a charger is 100% necessary, but also very cool and convenient.
8. Volume is really not bad. Again, more than expected as some buds have lower volume range. Better than Back Beat Pros, Fell short of Solo2.
Cons: Rather than cons, Ill call them not so pros as much of this should be expected when you buy. None of the following surprised me.
1. Price. At $200, they aren't the cheapest thing out, but when you compare to a set of Power Beats/Solo2 at about the same price It seems more reasonable.
2. Battery. 1 Hour 20 Min. Is about my average (I have used these as of this writing 4 times) for streaming music. This includes the use of all the fitness tracking and ambient features as well. 2+ Hours for playing music stored on the Icon X itself.
3. No pedometer. No big deal, but would have been nice considering the inclusion of the HR sensor.
4. I think my biggest issue is the charging time. It takes about an hour to top off after a complete drain. Considering how short the battery life is to begin with, I really would have liked a 15min quick charge feature just to give me a quick pop of initial juice.
Honestly, I'm very impressed. Sure the battery life is low, but with something this small, I understand. Let's be real, we aren't looking at these for superb audio fidelity or battery life, we are looking at these for extreme portability - And they deliver. The surprise was really nice audio as well. Sure I have to think about my workouts a little differently regarding how I'm going to listen to music. With no cords or head bands to get In the way and buds that never feel like they are going to fall out..... its worth it. I'll just keep my Beats for backup when I want a long workout. Thought I'd be returning these when I bought them even before I even left the store.... I was wrong. Very happy with the purchase.
My Best Buy number: 053068670
I would recommend this to a friend!

What is the expected battery life? This key item doesn't appear in any of the specs. Thanks.

My experience so far over 4 days: 1 hour/1 hour 20 min streaming music. 2hour-3hour listening to music stored on the Icon X.

When will this be available in store?

It is available online as of today. I had a lot of trouble finding them in store over the weekend. Don't expect many reps to understand what you are talking about. Best bet is to buy online. There are dummy sets in the Samsung area if you want to get a feel for size.

Do they have a microphone?

Yes. They work as a BT Headset to answer calls. They also have a Mic that functions to allow ambient sounds in to hear your surroundings. Sound quality is as expected from a BT headset. Your callers will hear you clearly with a little background noise.
