    Interesting Industrial Design. Not as pretty as Microsoft’s Surface Headphones but looks immaculately built.

      Only issue is that they are Microsoft. That’s a negative. And lastly those headphones are hideous.

      You know other brands sit around this same price. This is a fine price. Let me guess you think a Rolex is a good watch right? High end? I have bad news for you…

    The world as been and still in the grips of a pandemic and apple come out with headphones at £549 I had to look at the calendar to see if it was April fools day 😂

    They are way too big, fugly and overpriced. They only rest in their own brand, but nothing else.

    550 for headphones is not that ridiculous if the sound quality is better than Bose or Sony like how Sennheiser and Master Dynamic can be more expensive and sell pretty well. The problem is that Apple isn’t a purist audio company like those. I guess I will just have to reserve judgement when that “ears-on” comparison.

    • Matthew Choate

      December 9, 2020 at 1:24 am

      See that’s what no one gets. B&O dropped a pair for 800 bucks. If the sound quality is there. Which it could be the HomePod sounds amazing. Then it’s a fine price

  18. YiFei Pei

    December 9, 2020 at 1:14 am

    So they think it has same quality like PS 5?

  19. Reuben Lee

    December 9, 2020 at 1:17 am

    They’re a rip-off. You can buy headphones which probably sound better, have the same features and more for half the price.

    what you showed were the WH1000. not the WF. If you don’t know the difference, you shouldn’t be talking about ANC headphones.

    December 9, 2020 at 8:39 pm

    Those are not pods. These terrible naming conventions are just over the edge now. Pods are not shaped like that. Please name them appropriately Apple.

  31. COO415

    December 9, 2020 at 8:55 pm

    Typical, suckers will line up & open their pockets for Apple to take $550. Which $250 max is hardware and the rest Apple logo.

    Apple claims these are magical, so $550 is a serious steal for magical headphones. Wow, magical!

    December 10, 2020 at 12:45 am

    Let’s face it only apple fans will buy this because android users cannot evn have a charger for this. Besides apple is mostly a premium company and a pack leader when it comes to most things in tech.

    In Europe the Airpods Max cost 630 EURO which is almost 800 Dollars. If headphones cost this much. How much will the next iphone cost ?? Apple is going to far. First not include chargers and earphones now this. It was fun while it lasted but I am out!!

    Something I live about Apple is their boldness when it comes to pricing.
    They take something existing, slap a huge price on new it and it automatically becomes an innovation, first of its kind. That’s some tons of salesmanship we should all study

    Apple needs to stop with the headphones/AirPods/Smart Speakers, and design a COMFORTABLE keyboard for people who have full-grown, adult hands. I’d even pay $600 for it..but we all know they never will..😞😒😕

    AirPods are not pods. Apple should know this. These are Airphones. Who’s minding the store? I paid $350 for Bose QC II earphones at the Apple store 2 years ago. They have superior noise blocking with the juvenile television.

    Well the PS4 controller works with the Apple TV so I’m guessing that these headphones she’ll work with the PS4 since Apple in Sony I actually collaborating. But even if they don’t I probably will buy these because I have neighbors and I like to play my music loud they AirPods are good but they’re pretty much just for speaking on the phone if these headphones allow me to speak on the phone and answer phone calls I don’t know if they’re gonna replace my AirPods but I could see myself using them around the house answering phone calls. Of course the only great I have is the price point are they actually worth it in the only way to find out is if plane and people buy them and report that they’re worth the penny I didn’t expect Apple to come out with anything cheap because they have never done that and they just simply don’t like doing it because they like putting high-quality products out which I can respect and appreciate you not even rich but I understand the difference between cheaper products and more expensive products because I have purchased both in the cheaper products always break and only last for about a month.
