Ok, so I am historically a huge fan of Beats headphones. I seldom purchase any headphones that aren't Beats headphones. My favorite are in ear headphones, and I have had my Beats Tours for about 3 years now and they sound just as good as they did on day # 1. I bought a pair of inexpensive bluetooth headphones to work out with a year ago, but they weren't always my favorite as the sound quality was pretty poor (it was a great $30.00 Groupon deal).
In any event, I wanted a nice pair of bluetooth headphones so I immediately looked at the Powerbeats 2 wireless by Beats. I had the original Powerbeats and I was NOT a fan of them at all. I like in ear headphones that create a good "connection" with my ear canal. The Powerbeats did not do this, so I didn't have high hopes for the Powerbeats 2. I checked the reviews on Best Buy and while they were good overall, they highlighted the two things I really look for that they didn't have - a solid connection in ear and loud volume (I definitely blast my music).
That said, I looked everywhere for solid headphones that would meet my needs and came across these Sol Republic Shadow Wireless headphones. On a whim, I clicked on them and read the reviews. They were outstanding. Hmm... Also, they were half the price of the Powerbeats 2. Ok, so I went online and read reviews. Everyone loved them - the only thing that was a minor complaint was that they couldn't go a very far distance when using them or the connection may distort. Considering I use them right next to my phone all the time, that wouldn't be an issue for me.
I bought them yesterday, so I am 24 hours in here. All I can say is - What in the BLEEP is with these headphones?! They are INCREDIBLE! They sound amazing, very loud, clear mids, clear highs, deep and rich bass. They weigh nothing, you have no idea you have them in your ears, the neckband is completely lightweight, but weighted enough on the ends to be balanced. When I say these are loud they are LOUD. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and while the headphones are at full volume, I am only at about 75% volume on the phone because any louder and I'd be deaf =oP. I used them to watch an entire film, two television shows, four hours of music, and about an hour of phone calls before I got the "low battery" warning. That's about 8.5 hours of use before they needed a recharge. Very impressed.
At the end of the day, this is a fantastic purchase! I WISH they came with a carrying case of some sort, but I ended up reusing the little bag that came with my old bluetooth headphones. The neckband is flexible, bendable, foldable rubber material and it folds up to be quite small so it worked out really well. I highly recommend these as a great alternative to Beats. Huge, huge fan. #solrepublic #believer
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does the cord retracts in and out of the main unit
No, it does not. The cord hangs out of the main unit, but is not obtrusive or anything like that.

Is it being removed from inventory permanently?
The previous question was answered with 'the product is being removed from inventory and therefore won't be available in most locations.'
Is this going to be a permanent thing? I really wouldn't mind waiting for a month or two if it means getting double the DDR and a superior chipset.
I love everything about this laptop and kind of have my heart set on it, but if there's no chance of getting it, I might as well order the Surface 2 now.

It is being flagged in all Best Buy systems as unavailable to order, even if you go into a store. I called a friend of mine today that works there and by a miracle they found one in the store behind a ton of other laptop boxes. It wasn't even in their inventory. They added it and sold ti to me which was amazing. I believe it is delayed because it's not supposed to be $1199. It is $1599 on lenovo.com so they are probably working that out. Definitely pick it up if you see it - it's awesome :)
