Am I the only one reminded of the SS logo with this?

THANK YOU.

When I saw the picture I immediatly thought so.

For that king of design to be sanctionned by Apple is weird... I mean, it doesn't let you engrave "****" (the four-letter word for human dejection, thanks censorship) on AirTags, but a barely modified Waffen-SS logo on a product is fine... go figure.

The logo reminds me of something you could get done on fiverr for the cost of a modest meal.

Alas, do what you can to cater to the urban youth ?‍♂️

I don’t understand why these headphones still exist.

They exist because I prefer them - as do others - because I would lose Air Pods in a NY minute. I have not lost these yet, and the sound is excellent for listening to music and putz around the house doing chores.

Beats Flex is gotta be on or near the bottom as one of the worst products from Apple.

Beats? There is no beat. The sound is flat so much so I exchanged thinking there was something wrong.
Next pair same thing, so had two different friends try them a a couple of family members to get a reading on them.

Consensus : They suck. And for the new recently raised price, its a crime.

These should be no more than 29.99 on a good day.
Beats dropped the ball and got greedy.
Luckily I returned the second pair.

People who find this as excellent listening for music are missing out.
 
I do have Beat Flex. It’s OK. The microphone and connectivity are much better than my no-name headset, battery life is much worse. Sound quality is similar. Overall Beats are more stiff and less comfortable. I went back to mainly using $30 no-names

You’re sort of highlighting the weakest part of Apple. :)

Actually. It is a strength for most of their products, because replaceable batteries are a physical weak point that has consistently been a top reason for failure in mobile devices that use them. It’s why Apple devices last longer.

Yeah I don't get it. These are the worst, most uncomfortable type of ear buds.

Speak for yourself. I think as long as you use the right size inserts (I mean they WERE uncomfortable, seated too far in, until I used the large size they came with) they are great.

I know I HATE trying to shove my earlobe through those "around the ear" clips- I don't know if other ones w/ scaffolding wings work, but they certainly look weird.

And the magnetic clips that turn them into a necklace? What could be more convenient than that? Certainly more comfortable than clunky big earphones around your neck, or having to carry around your little floss-box

The basic idea is sound. Paying extra for little SS-looking logo is a bit odd.
