No thanks.

Lightning headphones are fine.

I don't think you've taken a look at the battery life on most BT headsets 5 hours is about the right range.

Company that basically invented the mp3 player, please make it harder to listen to music. Want something extra that's small and expensive to charge please.

Disrupt the headphone marketplace. Dongle the world.

I have never purchased wireless headphones, period.

Maybe I bought an IR/RF set back in 2001.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I think the airpods are cool but I can't stop from losing headphones with like 8 feet of wire on them so these things would be gone within a day.

cool so charging my phone and having it plugged in to the aux jack in my car at the same time is never gonna happen again, thanks for the courage, apple

Just buy a Bluetooth adapter because any car after 2015 is going to probably go Bluetooth with no aux port.

My car doesn't have a Tape deck. It does have an aux port though. and yeah I know you can get a bluetooth adapter for that.

i was being ironic, it's really stupid that cars are getting rid of 3.5mm when there's no possible argument that there's not enough space
