A hacker audience (as the Hacker in Hacker News) likely has different criteria for a headset to be good such as - not being locked down - compatible with GNU/Linux and/or *BSD - open source firmware which can easily be flashed by an own build - publicly available documentation of the interface (e.g. USB bytestream) - ideally: openly documented schematics - ... I don't believe that Apple's headset will deliver on these criteria. Thus: Don't adopt the opinion of some influencer if there is a given likelihood that he judges a product based on different criteria than you.
