Everyone paying 299$ for inear buds with a display case
Great, now people will buy a case to protect their case.
Oh wait, they already do
Thanks. I hate it.
I did not know there were that many options. I knew they have cases because I've seen Erik try to sell some raycon travel case using code BIGMONEYSALVIA.
Waiting for the airpod triple case to show up.
For the fancier aftermarket case cases, it really is prudent.
Absolutely revolutionary creams in pants I have never before witnessed this level of utter genius before in my entire 30 some odd years of existence. I was right in front of us checks notes this entire time and we were blinded by our own hubris.
TLDR; Nature finds a way.
I mean, IF they also add internal storage for mp3 files and it would act as an oldschool mp3-player/ipod, that would be actually cool … but I don’t need another display … you already have one on your phone and maybe also on your wrist
I have earbuds that don’t need to be charged and use a cable for easy connectivity and sound quality.
You know what's easier than a cable? No cable.
I'll give you sound quality, but the whole reason that wireless earbuds took off is the hassle of wires.
No, what did it was removing headphone jacks and selling only crappy non-repairable headphones.
And also no latency. Even expensive Bluetooth headphones and earbuds have crap latency. The systems that don't are either proprietary and not widely supported (e.g. aptX) or expensive 'phones-and-dongle arrangements that must always travel in a pair and still don't compete on latency with a pair of dollar store earbuds.
If you're listening to podcasts or music, latency doesn't really matter.
Unless you're using them for gaming or some other interactive medium, latency doesn't really matter though. For music, latency is irrelevant and for video, your device will take care of syncing the audio and video playback so it's a non issue. Audio quality is an entirely different matter of course.

I finally went wireless a week ago. I realized their advantage when the cable on my headphones broke for a millionth time.
This is what did it for me a decade ago. So many wasted wired earbuds, I was literally buying a new set every 3 or 4 months because all it took was one bad yank to destroy them. I'd wear the cable under my shirt and tuck the slack into my pocket, but the fucker still got caught on... well pretty much everything it seemed like. The countertop, chairs, my hand, somebody else, vegetation, my bike. Sometimes their own momentum was enough to yank them out of my ears when I was skating or something. I still use wired at my PC and with my roku, but if I'm not sitting still then wired are simply too fragile and annoying for me to use. As annoying as a spotty Bluetooth connection can be, a failing wired connection is way worse.

You really think that's a dunk? "Wireless" just means you plug it in when not in use. There's nothing hard about plugging in a 3.5mm audio jack. I've never been sufficiently convinced to actually use wireless headphones. They seem like more of a hassle for a worse listing experience.
Omg you people are some literal dinosaurus rex. New bad

The lost technology of the ancients is most glorious.
Both have their pros and cons. I miss my Westone 1 IEMs that I had back in college. My buddy's dog chewed them up. They were comfortable and super light, had great sound quality, a cord that wasn't obnoxious. Not having a cord is great though too especially when I'm working. Multipoint connection is great too. I can be listening to stuff on my phone with it in my pocket, no cable getting in the way, and when I get a call on Teams, my Pixel Buds just switch over to the computer.

people are going to lose and break these and it will cost than so much
That's why the next generation earphones will be wired.
New air pods can't be paired to them.
Just an excuse to charge more for them. Cant think of any useful reason to have a screen on the case when you have your phone with you.
It's an excuse to keep your product in the news/review cycle. You can't just create a useful product and leave it at that. You have to constantly change shit so people are constantly talking about it. Why do you think iPhone keep switching between rounded and square edges? It's not because one style is better then the other. It's so reviewers have something to talk about. It's why commercial OSes keep getting features no one asked for. It's why car and truck bodies keep changing even though body lines have no effect on driveability.

Apple patents all sorts of weird shit. 99% of it never gets made. They just want the money from patent litigation and licensing.

Tbf this might be the most original thing apple has done.
Look at JBL, i have a pair.
It's annoying af, as the screen also has controls and somehow they respond to my sweaty back (from cycling) while i locked it before i left.
There are tons of chinese brands that offer this type of headphones with display
Yep. I have two pairs already.
I would agree, but yet again, this is something I've seen 4 other versions of before apple gets to it.
