You guys realize wireless headphones have existed before this right?

They really don't look that much different than a bluetooth headset, and are a lot less noticeable than those giant ass Beats headphones.

Headphones, yes; Earphones, no.

You can't exactly lose or have your headphones ripped from you that easily, earphones you can

They should have gone for a design that wrapped around the ear. Then it could have at least been fairly low profile.

Yes. People are already waiting in line in front of Apple stores.

Better yet: a wire that attaches directly to something hard and weighty in your pocket to protect from theft. Like a phone.

What? It's easier to rip Beats headphones off of someones head than it would be to shove your fingers in someones ear to get the pods out.

When it comes to losing them, yes I can agree that we will see a bunch of idiots losing one of the pods.

>>56500098

Shut the fuck up asshole I wasn't even convicted.

>>56500097

>>56500062

Well there's also the added problem that I don't know how much any particular pair of beats headphones is worth/whether they're knockoffs which are everywhere. When I spot these itard earphones I know they're $160

>>56500097
>>56500097
And?

It's still easier to grab a larger device such as wireless headphones than it is to grab a smaller device like the EarPods.

Or are you saying we should use or wear anything in public because "You can steal it if you pull really hard"

also

>I know a person who steals earrings

Nice to know /g/ is full of degenerate niggers

This board is so fucking shit. Filled with autist Drumpfkins flooding in from /pol/. Nobody gives a shit about your outdated tech, how long has headphone jacks existed? It's not the fucking 19th century anymore, it's time to move on. Yeah, you didn't think touchscreen phones would work either. And for a while, they didn't. Until they did. Because apple pushed that technology forward.

This is the future they're making. Get on board or get left behind you pathetic permavirgins.

holy shit, they went with this design for the actual noise producing bud
it's like the worst possible design for earphones
I have a pair of apple earphones as my emergency pair and I fucking hate them, leakiest earphones ever, and the speaker / hole placement is like they never tested or even considered the function of them
if I'm in a loud place I literally have to hold one of the phones in to my ear just to drown out the background noise

and they're 160?
and there's no fucking jack hole on the phone?

I want to say they fucked themselves on this but it's probably not even true

I don't mind giving up old tech as long as the replacement is better, in which case it either:

1. isn't

or

2. has not been presented well enough to convince anyone that it is

>>56500212

If you're using wired headphones you can wrap the cable a few times around your belt and there's no way anyone can snatch it smoothly; they can try but I will react in time. With wireless a snatch is way easier. Haven't you ever mugged someone?

oh look, another tourist from /fa/

I can't believe they figured that a good use of the freed up space was to add another speaker.

Because obviously stereo on my phone's crappy speaker was what I've been missing all this time.


And I sure LOVE listening to other people blasting music on their phones in public.

Yep, that extra speaker on the phone is totally gonna make up for a lack of a headphone jack.

>>56501048
>not realizing that normies use their phone as a loudspeaker IN THEIR OWN HOMES

I realise that this board has a lot of audiophiles who wouldn't accept anything that didn't come with directed gold cables and old fashioned vacuum tubes, but c'mon. Normies don't give a fuck, normies just stream some shitty music on their phones.

>>56501079
I get that, but even then the speakers are already still crappy. And most people in their homes have some sort of speaker/sound system they can hook their phone up to if they regularly listen to music in their house.

>>56500241

>I get that, but even then the speakers are already still crappy. And most people in their homes have some sort of speaker/sound system they can hook their phone up to if they regularly listen to music in their house.
They do indeed, and that's why jack doesn't matter. And they would gladly pay Apple a gazillion dollars for a new set of earbuds too, because, you know, that's just how it is.

I mean, most of these people doesn't even realise that there are alternative phone brands. To them, a smartphone is synonymous with an iPhone. An MP3 player is synonymous with the now defunct iPod. A tablet is synonymous with an iPad. A computer is synonymous with a Mac etc.

>>56501158
Well on the other hand, iphone sales have been falling over the years. People do seem to realize there are other brands than apple for phones. At least they know androids are a thing.

I've been seeing more and more non-iphone phones around in public.

>>56501190
I think it's gradually becoming popular to dislike iphones and apple in general.

Hahaha, you're such an autistic nigger. I hope you're joking with wrapping the cable around your belt...

>>56498670

>>56501410
Sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Not so much for the preventing stealing but more for looping the remainder cord so it doesn't dangle so much.

apple is for imbeciles

maybe they will market an accessory for the airpod and ties them together so it fits around your neck

only $60 for the purple edition
