Everyone always says this but I feel like it's a non-starter. I haven't ever misplaced my earbuds and I've owned them for several months. House & car keys have a similar form factor and don't have a cable, yet most people don't seem to have problems keeping track of those.
House/car keys didn't migrate form factor
Oh Reghinold! I disagree!

> The killer feature of AirPods is the form factor and not having an annoying cable connecting the buds Ehh, the ability to lose those things really easily is not what I'd call a killer feature. The cabled bluetooth headphones are easy to keep draped over your neck when not in use. Someone actually sells a $10 string that connects the Earpods so they too can have this convenient feature [0].

Listening to podcasts in mono via a single earbud is my favorite use of the AirPods. So glad they're not wired behind the neck like these Pixel Buds.
"They’re wired behind the neck but they’re every bit a competitor to Apple’s AirPods" Umm, no. The killer feature of AirPods is the form factor and not having an annoying cable connecting the buds. As other posters have noted, Amazon is full of cabled headphones. Language translation is certainly cool, but for most people that's not an everyday need.

If they really went nuts I’d say it be cool if the thing also charged the headphones. But I mean, what a crazy world that would be.
Sorry, but they’re not truly wireless, so they don’t compete at all Also, Android uses SBC for Bluetooth streaming by default; until they fix that (by using AAC), BT audio will sound like shit

> I chatted with a member of the Pixel Buds team following the demonstration and she confirmed that the demo was done entirely over the internet, without downloading the languages directly to the device. This guy is real excited to have all of his conversations stored in the cloud
I also think the situations where I'd find useful this kind of translations are when I'm not in my home country which most likely means my data plan does not work or is very expensive, which makes it less useful than it sounds at first.
Also, being able to travel around in europe without any extra roaming charges, means that I can still use this, wherever I go in europe.
I'm very excited to try these as soon as I can get my hands on them.

As such, the AirPods form factor is a killer feature if they fit your ear and stay through activity. If they do not stay, there is no point in trying to "extend" them.
