    It’s the same problem google glass had. It can be the most information rich and user friendly device in the world but if you look like a dingus wearing it, it will never catch on.

      That’s what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

      The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.

        People on here are wired.

        Air pods just look like regular apple headphones just without wires.

        They sure as shit look less goofy than my huge pixel buds that stuck an inch out of my ear.

        I’m kind of surprised people felt that way about AirPods. I don’t remember that at the time. They seem quite mild to me at this point - people didn’t mind wearing regular earbuds around, why worry if there’s a cord or not?

        Then if you wear it you’ll be an even bigger dingus and make other dinguses look less dingusy. It would kinda be a public service of sorts I guess.
