Hahahahaha $549 for a pair of headphones...HAHAHAHA, oh wait they are serious? I was reading the press release and was like...hmmm present for wife for christmas, then I got to the punch line...hahaha...yeah no.
Could come later after people buy the more expensive one thinking it is the only option.
It requires macOS 11.1 and iOS 14.3, so are those released as well?
It's almost the price of a regular iPhone.. This is crazy! Now everyone will follow this trend. Goodbye affordable premium headsets..
Nope! Don’t want another pair of headphones. If Tim Cook wants my money he can FINALLY upgrade the 3 year old AppleTV. It’s obscene they sell this ancient tech for full price. I need to buy 4 of them!
Too cheap. I don't buy any Apple Products under $1000 anymore.
My next charger (that's environmentally not supplied with the $1000+ device anymore) I'll buy for $1000 too! Same as my monitor stand (so I don't have to lie it on the ground) or my Macbook Wheels. Give it to me Tim!

$549?!? What are they smoking over at Apple Park. 
The mock-ups were not so far off though.
Hey what you know they look like the rumored photo a few posts back.
guess the speculation that it’d look different was wrong.

They look nice, but I'm going to stick with my MX3s.

It’s the HomePod pricing all over again

Apple should have saved the Pro moniker for these. At least it could then justify the price to the professional market.
LMFAO that's $50 more than a Bang & Olufsen H9, which is already expensive enough. Thanks Apple but no, thanks.
Can’t wait to listen to heavily compressed Apple Music!
They'll be released before this is available in stores I guess.
Ya that's a bit out of my price range. Happy with my airpods pro. Id rather have a PS5.
That price is absurd doubt these are going to do well if I’m honest
I think there's a misplaced decimal point somewhere.
You have got to be kidding. $550? That’s a no from me. I’ll stick with my (already overpriced) AirPods Pro.
At least they didn’t call them pro or studio, neither of which is possible with these! Without a wire, headphones are useless for recording music.
if the noise cancellation, transparency mode, and spatial audio translate over to these...I'm sure it'll be amazing.
$550 is a crap load of money though
