Cool..but is it worth it?

Great article Chris! I too was impressed by Apple’s decision to address accessibility to the ‘earable’ market but feel they missed the mark in relation to product design and price point. The original white headphones were A. very cool and B. very cheap (free). But charging $160 for a mainly generic design will reduce adoption. Plans ahead may involve airpods that are designed to be more stylish and status bearing, displacing the current design to a more generic/in the box companion, but for now it’s not worth my $$

In any event, thanks for spending time writing the post!
