#32> "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." -- Slashdot creator CmdrTaco/Rob Malda about the iPod in 2001. I'm not saying these will have the impact of an iPod, but I am entertained by the amount of naysaying here. For one thing, how often have you fiddled with the knots in your headphone cord? It's frustrating enough to prevent me from using them in situations where I otherwise would.
Less often than I have had my earphones fall out because I was running, or doing anything that requires my head to move a little.
AirPods look to be perfectly fine (and extremely expensive for what they bring) if your usage of them is while sitting at your desk.

#33There's like a next-level Apple marketing babble on that page: "AirPods introduce an effortless wireless listening experience packed with high-quality audio and long battery life. These magical wireless headphones use advanced technology to reinvent how we listen to music, make phone calls, enjoy TV shows and movies, play games and interact with Siri, providing a wireless audio experience not possible before." Magica…
Magical - they're beautiful in a way that is 'magical'
Reinvent - well it certainly seems like a reinvention of the wireless headphone. What else would it be?
Not possible before - without W1 it wasn't possible to jump between audio coming from multiple sources transparently

That's standard Apple marketing language. It also drives tech people batty. This is also why Apple is successful.
Yup that's it. The only reason they are the most successful company in all of capitalism. /s

Wires are definitely frustrating, but what's worse is losing them entirely. If you're running and they fall out, you're screwed.

I love the idea of wireless everything, when it really works. Let's see how these play out.

You missed "interact with Siri"
Re: AirPods are now available
#38Very curious how long battery life actually is.
Also, will Apple include these within iPhone box to replace the clunky new lightning things?
Re: AirPods are now available
#39Why is Apple so obsessed with calling everything "magical". If anyone believes this is magic, they also need to believe Apple employs wizards & witches.

Yes, but other wireless headphones already exist, no?
