The noise level about the removal of the headphone jack and these new airpods reminds me of Apple's refusal to include Adobe Flash support in iOS.
It was bold, brave and the right thing to do.
Who now thinks that flash support should gone into iOS?
I bought a nice pair of bluetooth headphones over a year ago and I hate them over BT, plugged in they deliver great sound. To me it's not a failing of the headphone manufacturer but a failing of the bluetooth technology.
If Apple's W1 can deliver the same quality of sound over wireless that I get from their wired ear phones then this will be proof that they can continue to lead in their field without Jobs.
I think the only thing missing is Jobs himself and one of his "open letters", about why the audio jack had to go.

AirPods will definitely come shipped with iPhone 8. We're in a transition phase this year.
Apple could've only shipped Lightning EarPods, be grateful for a change. They're giving you a choice.
idk why people were being anal about losing them. Same issue as any other bluetooth wireless earphones
Apple actually tried to minimize this with that case.
Hope they released other colors though like black

So magical you can brush your teeth with them.
Totally. It's so overused. You would think Apple was run by Harry Potter and located within the confines of Hogwarts castle. He really needs a new word. If a word is overused it begins to lose impact.
Yeah, that headphone jack was a real security risk.
Tim Cook almost seems angry in this interview. Like, he's sick of everyone's sh*t already.
MacRumors have to love days like this.. Its been at least 10 articles today.. Driving tons of clicks.. I wonder how much $$$ they made today alone lol
Stop it!
Because the subject is about Tim Cook, you'll get no traction here with the "regulars" unless you act immature.
I think i would rather get the bragi ...i know they have connection issues but if they short that out and i can swim with me...
game changer.

The large majority of people don't buy bluetooth headphones. That's why people have concerns.
I have an iPhone and I'm currently typing this on a 2014 MBP so, I obviously understand the concept of paying for premium goods but $150.00 for wireless earbuds? Give me a freakin' break lol. I think the free wired ear buds provided with my iPhone will do.
Sweats the details? They literally didn't with these because not only did they not even bother to create a new form factor that looks both less stupid and better fitting, they also didn't bother to give them water resistance. So they missed the one major target group that really benefits from Bluetooth and wireless - those working out.
I guess Tim was having a casual stroll on that treadmill, because he definitely wouldn't be running and sweating into these earpods, even though that's a standard feature on cheap Bluetooth earphones.
