I live in a major European city and this is the only portable Apple product I haven’t seen even once in public. Understandably, because it’s the ultimate ‘I have more money than sense, rob me’ accessory.
I have the XM-4s, they’re not comparable, APM outclass them by a huge marginAgree; given the price of comparable sets from Sony and Bose, I’d go for these at £400 or even £450 (there’s a markup in the UK given Apple’s price conversion) for the instant pairing with all my devices.
Not remotely bothered about the no power off.
That’s what I’m saying. They are so insanely expensive compared to the regular crap on the market it doesn’t even make it into consideration.$400 or so would make it a good stretch buy if you were considering the Sony or Bose, considering premium build quality
Weird purse case and no real power off makes this unattractive buy for me. I think they missed the boat somewhat on the sound signature for my taste
Agreed.I have the XM-4s, they’re not comparable, APM outclass them by a huge margin
Same I see regular airpods and airpod pros hundreds of times a day on my commute, haven't seen these once. Plenty off Sony xm1-4 and Bose QC's but these are a no show.I live in a major European city and this is the only portable Apple product I haven’t seen even once in public.

Then I guess nothing. You will never see a $200 price tag on these.Still too expensive, <=200 or nothing.
Fair, but I suppose I’d question whether I’d notice the £200 worth of difference regularly enough for it to be worth it. £350 is already at the high end for headphones, and the XM-4s are already absolutely “good enough”.I have the XM-4s, they’re not comparable, APM outclass them by a huge margin
Not for me, sadly, can’t go back for comfort and sound quality reasons; XM-4s are resigned to house chore use (mowing/vacuuming).Fair, but I suppose I’d question whether I’d notice the £200 worth of difference regularly enough for it to be worth it. £350 is already at the high end for headphones, and the XM-4s are already absolutely “good enough”.
What an utterly bizarre statement.XM-4s are resigned to house chore use
