What the hell is a SMART personal audio device?
It's a freaking headphone. Call it what it is.

Have you ever heard of an innovation called "hearing protection earplugs"? I always met audiophiles who always wear that thing. To say that their ears are damaged from using earbuds at high volumes are so laughable, and they don't do earbuds in the first place.
Also, I never have an experience of getting different answers from diffrent audiophiles. I was once attended an international Audio-Visual show and was roaming all the booths looking at the representatives demonstrating their certain product. No one give different opinion, everyone in the room agree the same with one another.

No thanks, will NEVER go Bluetooth ever again after a harsh real life experience happened to me before when I got my phone updated to latest software version.

Its mostly about having anc and being cable free tha having good music playback. Playback through bt and cable is about as different as seeing concert on computer and being there - cannot enjoy it in the same way.
Hopefully some comes with lossless wireless for ear/headphones, bigger devices already got few.

Bluetooth headphones are not good for your health. Just stick with earphones that has a 3.5mm jack or USB-C connection.

1) You actually brought up the Beats and audiophile argument which is so 2016. We are in 2020.
2) Audiophiles? If you asked 10 audiophiles a question, you would get 8 different answers. Most of their ears are probably damaged from using earbuds at high volumes; and
3) Do you really think this article was written because $300.00 beats are dominating Bluetooth sales or do you think it was written because the Airpods have been so successful and are once again dictating what everyone else does in this space? Which is more likely?

I fully meant to say that why buy Beats, Bose and other pure wireless brands where they can buy the likes of ATH-M50X for $190 which is a hundred less than the rest but way better due to the headphone jack.
USB-C headphones aren't mainstream especially the Over Ear models.
