If you know anything about sound you'd know Airplay is better than bluetooth. Sonos is better than Airplay. And cable is better than Sonos. So to my point, I was actually excited for today, my thought were that Apple would release a new software feature with Airplay P2P tech that could stream higher res format (eg. flac) to headphones wirelessly, without loss and maybe a longer buffer. I however don't know but think these headphones are bluetooth? If they are then I have no idea what Apple sound engineers are smoking. They are basically replacing an OK sound from 3.5mm to bluetooth low-audio streaming quality and then expect people to but Beats headphones, which is pretty much an 80 dollar headphone for 300 dollars with a built-in EQ. The Airpods are problebly 20 dollar sound for 159 dollars. I mean what the ****?
If you're a soundnerd like me you know how bad this is. Hopefully we will see audio-companies like Denon, NAD etc to produce Lightning DACs for this device. It's like we're going back to buying a seperate mp3 player just to get good sound quality. The more Apple "invents or copies" (iWork vs Google Doc in mind), the more I want to go back to the "original". It's like I want to go back in time and buy a compact camera, Mp3 player (or even CD), 6.3 mm headphones, just to get great quality. I may be just old, but it's how I feel. Where's the innovation? Where is my Airplay P2P? Where's Apple Music with Apple Lossless quality? Where's a new "Airplay adapter" for home audio (like Chromecast audio)?
