You've picked a remarkably poor example to make your point. My Airpods (not the Pro, intentionally) are easily one of the best consumer electronics purchases I've made in the last decade. And it has little to do with not having to wrap the cord up. It's that they're so light and unobtrusive that I can wear them for hours at a time, whether I'm listening to something or not.



I can see I have an unpopular opinion here. I really disagree that this should be a game changer for anybody, and I think it fits my original example quite well.

But please know, I don't mean this argumentatively. It's just a difference of perspective I suppose.


I downvoted your comment because you didn't present it as your personal perspective, but almost as a moral judgment that anyone who buys or enjoys consumer electronics just lacks impulse control or something. Sorry, but no longer worrying about snagging my headphones cord on workout equipment isn't a sign of a moral failing :)


Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate the further detail.
