That cost $160. Let's not dance around that. Airpods are extraordinarily expensive compared to the headphones everyone used to be able to use.
- matwood 9y agoThey are not extraordinarily more expensive than any BT ones I have used that work acceptably. If you mean wired, those still work just as they did prior. The iPhone comes with the adapter.
- Bud 9y agoYes, the first iteration of W1-headphones are pricey. Point granted. But that will change. (Also, they are worth the price, which helps.) BeatsX (with W1) are at $150, by the way. So the price is already down several percent! ;)
