And I love it. The comfort, the industrial design.
I considered other options, such as the GearX and other less known, and nothing really bit the buttery laugh, comfort and integration. I finally got fed up with wires when my vacuum machine would pull the headphones out of my ears.

Just the way these things slide out of the box in the picture on their site makes me cringe.
Have fun.

The case serves as a mobile charging unit for the headphones, and it's extremely small. All other options either lacked a case completely, or had a large case that would be too much to carry in the pocket with other items. The latency seems to be minimal, which is also something that is problematic with other ones I looked at (but not all).

I believe you that the thing is well designed and does its job better than the competitors.
Apple still has this "just works" feeling (most of the time).

Except when you open your 2016 MBP and the screen and/or touch bar remain black.
It "just" "works".

Do they come with those typical soft things that usually are placed on the part going in to the ear on ear plugs or do you have to use them without those things?
I ask because I've never worn an ear plug that is comfortable when they don't have those things.
*edit* "those things" are apparently called silicone tips, that's what I was talking about  |
No silicone tips on these ones. They either fit or not, it seems. For me, they are perfect, never fall, weight almost nothing and don't fatigue the ears.
I suggest you ask one of your friends / family with an iPhone to test their normal, corded headphones. If those fit and you like the sound signature, then you will love these. |

Well I think they look weird on people when im walking around the city.. they are big and bulbous, i always wonder what if i get bumped and one falls out / gets lost.. Also dont really think wireless brings much to the table, i dont have a big problem with the cable on my headphones.
I have a similar opinion of 'smartwatches' as well, what do they do my phone doesn't > they look big / weird not stylish on people wrists.

Looks like small Wall-E penises that you put into your ears.
