Apple announces $159 truly wireless AirPods earbuds

07 September 2016
The previously leaked Apple AirPods have been officially announced at the company's big event today. They are truly wireless earbuds, following in the footsteps of only a handful of other such products - things such as the Bragi Dash, Earin, Samsung Gear IconX, as well as the recently unveiled Jabra Elite Sport and Bragi The Headphone.

    Everytime i get new iphone (not this time), like a lot of people, I just ignore the their 3.5mm headphones for these reasons:

    1. The shape and material of their headphones hurt my ears in prolonged use.

    2. Earbuds are not reversible. (not good when been running for 45minutes, concentrating on my breathing and pace and conserving energy,..... having to divert attention which earbuds goes where when it drops.

    3. Keeps falling off during my running sessions.

    4. Quality is mediocre at best.

    AND NOW......

    Airpods with iPhone 7 adds this problem.

    5. If this tiny little things drop off my ear. and it goes to a drain.

    Added to the fact that its not rubberized, really uncomfortable for my ear fit.

    what the hell apple.

        $159, just too much. also, the design very similar to existing wired ear set, very easy to slip out. there would be lots to be found on floor, in toilet seats ...

              Anonymous, 08 Sep 2016Wireless headphones are just one more thing that I need to ... moreExactly, the wires aren't just for signals, it's also a safeguard against one falling out and disappearing by the wayside. Next they'll release an "innovative" "AirPod safety band" that fixes them together and charge extra for --that--, too.. and claim to be the first people to think of it....

                    Wireless headphones are just one more thing that I need to charge every night = MORE cables, and I constantly have to worry about the battery in the headphones and these look like very easy to accidentally lose one of them because they are not connected to each other and are very small! This is the beginning of the end for iPhones and for Apple!

                        mir, 08 Sep 2016Truly expensive Airpods...To be fair all of these sorts of headphones are around that cost. Samsung's are $200 iirc, although I'm not sure of the differences. Can't say I care to check though, its such a niche market that would pay for this sort of thing.

                              What do you mean by truly wireless. Do you think that such earphones are not available at all?
