These are innovative products out of Apple. The new airpods will move people off wired headphones, out of the 1970s and into the renaissance. Also, they revealed the iPhone 7plus will retail out at $769, flaunting storage up to 256gb (the fuck).
Here is a photo dump that I stole from the good folks at Recode–because they do good work and I really don’t give a shit about this topic.
Apple’s share price is responding positively to this news.
Why would anyone buy the wireless Apple earbuds over Jaybirds? Looks like the Apple ones will suffer from all of the same problems that previous iterations had. Plus, the biggest benefit of wireless headphones is for working out…..so having headphones that stay put is a must. Jaybird has this market locked down. Bad move by AAPL IMHO. They think its a way to add revenue and profitability, little do they know their offering doesnt begin to compete. Would consider going long whoever own jaybird (if public) based upon this though. Only a matter of time until people sniff out the ones that work.
I hope for $159 these headphones have built in homing device. These junks are going to be lost in the first few days by aapl homers everywhere.
I know Jaybirds, but they most definitely do not have the market locked down.

So, do these earbuds magnetically connect to each other through your brain, to stay in when moving? That would be super cool.
Keep that shit off and out of your ears. It will cause you to go deaf. I’m serious.
Over ear headphones
Apple innovation died with Steve Jobs
they’ve remade & re released a 3 year old iPhone.
downgraded their innovation for the iPhone color.
followed & copied Android in every facet of their phone upgrades (except fingerprint reader which is a gimmick).
AND released extremely subpar 2ndary products
Also, burned through a few billions of $s in worthless stock buybacks.
i actually had my hopes up and they let me down

If you would like to preserve your hearing do not wear earbuds and headphones. They are a mainline into your ear. If something goes wrong you can receive a blast of high sound pressure level audio. At a certain level it is the hearing equivalent of losing a finger or two. Done.
I am not kidding.
Yep, some kind of electrical charge hit my wireless headphones the other day at the gym for a split second and I tossed them. The sound/pressure was incredible.
I am interested in if there has been a noticeable jump in patients to the ENT field guys out there yet?
