The sad thing is, people are going to wear these in public, and nobody is going to think they look dumb, because Apple.

- scop 3y agoI will think they look dumb (and I'm an Apple user...)
- jacurtis 3y agoThey do look dumb. But compared to most other VR headsets, I think they are the best we have seen so far. The problem is, that you are still going to look weird walking around with these. I am also not sure if that is practical (ie the battery/power situation).
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoThese look at least somewhat inspired by Daft Punk's helmets, which feels almost intentional, since the guys from Daft Punk have made about the most socially acceptable robot "look" that a layman knows about.
- gwd 3y agoI can't imagine people walking around with them on. But I would absolutely wear one of these on a train or bus.
- ketzo 3y agoPeople relentlessly mocked the appearance of AirPods when they first came out, but we all know how that ended up.
- epolanski 3y agoI still find people wearing their Airpods 24/7 rude.
- stouset 3y agoWhy on earth is this something you care about?
- Jtsummers 3y agoNot GP, but I don't care if a random person does it. I care when someone who is, ostensibly, intending to interact with me does it. You can't actually tell whether they're engaging with you fully or not, like if I were conversing with someone (in person) and started typing this comment at the same time.
- epolanski 3y agoYou never know if the person you're interacting is actually listening to something and distracted or not. Remember when I used to go to the office and I had to guess whether my colleagues were on a call, listening to music or "available" because there was no way to know from the outside since they never removed them.
- bjohnson225 3y agoThis is very different though - it completely covers much of your face and there is no comparable device that is used in public, whereas AirPods are more or less the same design that we’ve seen in earphones for decades only without a cable.
- anonzzzies 3y agoI don't care if I look dumb, but don't use Apple.
- supergeek133 3y agoI hope we all remember how much we dragged Google "glassholes" when that mess happened.
- deanCommie 3y agoTo be fair, that's true about a LOT of fashion. Airpods look idiotic - like the worst of the 90's/00's era "bluetooth headset bro" stereotype, only on BOTH ears now. But they're considered fashion-forward. Humans and society vote with their feet.
- jejeyyy77 3y agothis guy still wears wired earbuds :D
- msie 3y agoOnce the influencers get their hands on it. The youth will follow.
- yreg 3y agoI would find the opposite sad. Let people wear what they want to.
