I was really excited about some aspects of AirPods, like the IR sensor that could detect whether you had them in, and pause audio accordingly.

Then I saw a photo of what wearing AirPods looks like from the front (http://www.iostipsandtricks.biz/wp-content/uploads/1473/7957...)

Apple will still sell a mountain of them, because Apple is really good at changing peoples' perceptions of what looks bad, to looking good. The Apple watch is a perfect example. Square watches with rubber bands never looked cool. Motorola innovated a round digital face with the Moto360, and Apple responds with a square digital watch, with a rubber band.

Compared to what? Not wearing in ear headphones at all? Because with all of them you look the same, just with cables dangling too...


Have to admit it's the first time I see headphones that make you look like you inserted tampons in your ears.


Yeah, so that look should be avoided if you're 13 years old, because other kids will laugh at you since tampons are funny because its women stuff. /s


The Apple Watch isn't cool.


If anything it's good you can see them from the front, with no wires someone might otherwise not notice and start talking to you immediately.


What if Apple's secret plan is to sell fashion accessories that tie onto them?
