Flop or not?

Flop or not?

Normies will lose these a lot.
To avoid the annoying questions like
>where did your expensive plugs go?
will buy more. Then it will run out of power. Then they will buy even more reductions.

I call it genius marketing plan. Long live the Apple!

I thought these haven't even shipped yet.

Floppy like a dongle.

The earpods already sound like shit

Making them wireless won't change that

The charge case is there for a reason and legit a good idea

The earpods already sound shit tho so i don't get the point

>The earpods already sound shit tho so i don't get the point
I know a guy who, genuinely, actually, will fight with you for hours on end if you disagree with him, thinks that the packaged earpods are just fine for any purpose. I tried to get him to listen to a pair of cheap $15 earphones I picked up from Walmart and he would not have it any other way. His reasoning for this was "if Apple included it as the default as part of their own packaging, it must sound good with Apple hardware". And when I explained to him that the audio source doesn't matter, he fell back on the Apple can do no wrong meme.

I fucking lost it when I saw advertising for the straps to not lose the things for like 20 bucks

>if Apple included it as the default as part od their own packaging, it must sound good with Apple hardware
I fell for this meme for 4 years and wasted around 160 eurobux
Then I discovered Sup Forums and so even more memes including android

fyi everything is a meme, including this post

I guess it could be like Xiaomi does and they have EQ presets built for their headphones that sound nice in Xiaomi / iOS devices

But I bought 4$ Panasonic Ergofits and compared them to a friend's earpods in my android out of curiosity. They're really not good headphones, and 4$ headphones shouldn't compare.

total flop

>new meme technology not even included with their debut device
>indefinitely delayed and normals now have to use an additional cord to use headphones

also
>160USD+

WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE AN ANGRY CRAB?

>use an additional cord

Every iPhone 7 came with both a Lightning->3.5mm dongle *and* a pair of Lightning EarPods, dipshit.

>a Lightning->3.5mm dongle
that's an additional cord compared to those that use a regular 3.5mm jack with regular wired headphones

Nice comprehension

>and a pair of Lightning EarPods

Nice comprehension

I bet you think the Xbox 360 controller required two cables, too.

You're pretending right?
dongle + headphones = 2 separate cords

ishit users are this delusional

...

underrated post

Oh, I get it! For the sake of an argument you're pretending to be too dumb to realise that the earphones in question are wireless.
Good troll my friend.

They still don't have a release date.

they literally haven't delivered a single unit, and i don't remember them announcing any sales figures, so there's not even room for anecdotal "i only see a few of them out in public so they must not be selling that well" commentary.

it's sort of shocking that apple is giving third party headphone manufacturers *this much* of a head start. it's either hugely confident of them (maybe wrongly, maybe rightly, so), or they really don't consider this a high priority.

they clearly stopped caring about displays, since they're no longer selling apple-branded displays. maybe down the road they're going to let someone else sell the earbuds under their own brand name, and just tell people to go buy those (the way they did with monitors).
