You know what would look good on these? Me when I put on my makeup every morning. Money well spent. Jokes aside, these will sell like those $699 Mac Pro caster wheels. I'm going to settle for my 1000XM3 since they are incredible already at the discount I purchased them at.

The price is absolutely astonishing. I really hope at some point consumers start pushing back. As for looks, it's ugly, but it's Apple. Apple no longer like making good looking products. A phone with an ugly notch, airpods, and now this. Beats were ugly, but they became insanely popular. These will also be popular. They go for unique designs so people can identify an Apple product from a mile away. Also, I assume they sound garbage for that price.
Consumers are ALWAYS pushing back. However, it’s not nearly enough to counteract the consumers that have already purchased them. Folks say “make your voice heard with your wallet”, but that only works if enough people agree with your voice :)

The replacement cost of those earcups is ridonkadonk.

The cost of 2 earcups is how much I paid for my Sony wireless NC headphones, and my Sonys are fantastic. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Are the earcups on the Sony’s replaceable? Because that’s a thing I realllly hope other companies copy, like TOMORROW.
 
The white and silver looks good, but the colors are ugly.
And the price is 👎🏼.

And the name is terrible ! Who was in charge of this product ?

This would have made more sense if you said “the same company...”
It would have made more sense if you had said, “What company was in charge of this product” instead of “Who was in charge of this product” :) Just following your lead!
 
It’s so dumb that getting a desired combination requires buying the pads separately and you can’t just customize at checkout.
Something tells me by March 2021 THIS will be a default option if not sooner when sales are NOT as high as expected. I somehow see these as something we all want yet when it comes down to it ... the price is such a big border of entry that like the HomePod it'll be frowned upon yet still be wanted within the next year.
Thanks, but I will pass on this one, save 600 bucks and carry on with my life.
XM3's are looking really nice right about now, XM4's as well - even if Spatial Audio is capable yet not something Apple will allow outside of their ecosystem devices.

Within the first 2 months anyone wearing these will exude DOUCHE!
 
Good thing nobody wants em. As all the models but 1 shipping times slip several months into 2021

edit: And now 30 minutes later they all are

Well at least swappable ear cushions are affordable. Unlike the AirPods max.
