    Question…

    Why did you purchase them in the first place then?

    Hype? Advertising? Apple ecosystem? Lack of foresight that the batteries aren’t replaceable?

    Edit: Downvoters too upset to answer the question. They actually have adapters to use wired headphones on iPhones ya know.

      Trust that it works well and it does. However, first gen was not as good as after it.

      1. Good microphone quality. Not true for first gen after some time in my experience

      2. Reliable connection. True most of the time.

      3. Apple ecosystem, yes to a small degree. Ability to see battery level is nice.

      4. Fast recharge times

      5. Endless usage time if using one headphone at a time. It is my preference usage method.

      Cons: high price. After several years I expect to find comparable competition. It exists, and i use it, but i lost: 1, 2, 3 from my list. And usability is crap: accidentally touching headphone turns it off.

      You dare question an Apple product purchase? you’ve angered the cult.

      FYI You should know fanboys and their anecdotes beat studies critical to Apple every time.

        Oh I know. I’ve repaired over 1000 Apple devices in my days of tech repair, and the only thing I personally gained from my experiences is that they’re overpriced eggshells that are literally designed to fail.

        Planned obsolescence ☹️
