I am torn. I like the upgrades. But the arrogance and the potshot taken at those of us who love our wired headphones really grated on me. Could have been handled better. I don't really feel like buying now because I feel like I'd be vindicating their arrogance.
I definitely don't appreciate the arrogance of reserving the new jet black color for the higher price/storage tier. But I know many will come up with great justifications for this.
Sia Ga Ga won't help sell me on this. I'll have to think about this using logic and reason and seriously evaluating what I want.
Definitely won't be preordering.
Assuming you are older(sorry) just like me (well maybe not that old. I am 64), we have to admit that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The new features etc. are nice, however they will still be there when I get my 8S.
By then there will be plenty of capacity to have black throughout the line.
No biggie anyway as I use a black case.
As for wireless vs. corded: It is hard to give up things one is accustomed to, especially when we have all these different devices that have the 3.5 mm connectors.
Rest assured that in a few months nobody is going to complain and in a year or so , wireless is the norm and corded will be hard to find.
The pain is softened by the bandaid adapters for now. Sticks and stones..., so any potshot doesn't matter and if that is how they feel, why not allow them to say so?
Just need to see a few reviews and try stuff at the store to see if earphones are worth $ 159.
Me thinks no, as I wreck stuff, lose things and just do not care about the quality of the sound for talk radio.
Sia doesn't do it for me either, except for one song, but then as one ages, music is not that important any more compared to teen and twen years.
Kids gone and working on retirement is a job all in itself.
Be good
