That's funny, that was the bit of copy that jumped out the most to me as well :)

At $549 they better be rather impressive. The same amount of money can buy you some fairly high end conventional headphones.

"Hey, cool, something not in-ear, this could be just what I was looking for."

See's price: Nope... I'll stick with what I've got for now.

Those are some of the most expensive headphones I've ever seen and I thought Bose's QC3's at $350 were overpriced. This kicks it up a notch further. I'll be curious what the reviews show for sure, but too rich for my blood.

$549 a pair. Yikes.

I'm fairly confident I've reached my own personal peak for Apple pricing. As a spectator I've no doubt these will sell massive numbers but I'm curious to learn what the market will bear for Apple's products.

OH, my… What are you doing Apple? Why so many products with so many versions? Will you do an Apple Printer again?

Please don't.

When the mention of the magnets came up, I figured this was a bit more than I wanted to spend. What a bummer, but I hope it ends up being real audiophile grade hardware.
