It’s a native feature of the device that allows its user to get enormous amounts of attention, in real life and subsequently online, by simply wearing it in public.

Sounds horrible. I guess I’m not someone who seeks attention at any cost like some people, it public is the last situation I’d use this thing in. I would feel like a complete dumbass wearing it at a coffee shop and waving my hands around.

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.

You’re probably thinking of the current gen AirPods rather than the original (comparison).

Image comparing airpods to Ben Stiller in Something About Mary with come hanging from his ear and the text "anytime I see someone wearing apple airpods"

Lol. So Gen 2 they were finally like "let's shape this thing more like someone's ear". Then Gen 3 "Fuck it, ears are apparently different shapes let's just go with the tried and true method that's been around on $5 earphones for a decade"

Only “pros” have human ears. Everyone else must be mutants.

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?

I thought they looked like uncooked long macaroni.

They look like puss leaking out of the ear to me.
