Hopefully the delay is a chance for the product designers to go back to the drawing board. I simply cannot fathom why anyone would want to own a pair.
It's often used due to mental laziness or lack of empathy. I personally don't want a pair either, but I can certainly imagine why it appeals to people.

You don't see any merit to beam-forming microphones for noise cancellation, seamless paring experience, Siri access, other-earphone awareness, or lack of tangled wires? You don't remember how iconic the white earbuds have been as a status symbol? It's fine, and even expected, to say, "This product doesn't fit my use-case." But to be unable to fathom why any person on the earth would want to buy the product... that ta…
I have tested at least a dozen Bluetooth-headphones for sports (running, gym, etc.) and they all died due to sweat after max. 2 months. Anyone has a good suggestion? (was really looking forward to buying the AirPods even though not sure about sweat-resistance...)

Would you mind elaborating the flaws you see in them? Curious to see other point of views. Personally, I am more of an in-ear earphones user, so I am more drawn to e.g. Bragi earphones, but even then I am missing the option of custom in-ear moulds, so I am sticking with shure audio drivers + Westone bluetooth cable. I do welcome Apple entrance because I could see how they might be able to push development of the sect…
Compared to the Klipsch earphones, the AirPods:
1) Are more than twice as expensive ($159 vs. $69)
2) Have significantly worse sound quality
3) Look ugly as sin; wired earphones like the Klipsch ones look just fine, and come in colors other than white
4) Require regular charging (only 5 hours of listening time); wired earphones require no charging at all
5) Are considerably easier to lose or misplace (either one or both)
6) Will have a finite life, as the battery wears out; standard wired earphones will last forever if you look after them
7) Are only compatible with current generation Apple devices; standard wired earphones have universal compatibility
8) Will likely be depreciated within a couple of generations of Apple products; wired earphones will endure

On a higher level, software is part of the supply chain. The only difference is that the vendor is a internal business unit.
Well then I guess hamburger is vegan because it's made of cows which are made of grass.

9 times out of 10, "I can't fathom why anyone would want product X" can be swapped with "I don't want product X." It's often used due to mental laziness or lack of empathy. I personally don't want a pair either, but I can certainly imagine why it appeals to people.
I've racked my brains and I simply cannot understand why anyone would prefer these to existing wired or wireless headphones.

What are the odds they just cancel the product? I haven't seen much excitement for them (since they're pricey and can be so easily lost), and if they're having trouble making them, I could see them just cancelling them and going back to the drawing board.
