I get what you’re saying here and even sort of agree, with some of it anyway. The problem is that none of this changes the fact that it’s impossible to even almost create the same kind of experience, today, with your music using the tiny integrated amplifiers and DA convertors that would fit in that pretty little face fucking stick …. it’s just impossible. So what you’re left with are so many compromises in audio quality, sound clarity and non-distorted loudness that make this product just utter shit beyond use as a standard blutooth headset. We rely on these devices very heavily to deliver our favorite music to our ears, for some, even more than for communication For this purpose, and a huge part of the iphone/itunes target demographic, this is going to be a huge (read it in Donald Trumps ridiculous pronounciation) let down from previous generations of Apple audio capability.
