I’ve been a Louis Vuitton fan since the early 2000’s but even I was skeptical of these.

In short, these are amazing. Sound way better than the airpods, they charge via USB-C, they have zero lag when using with YouTube or movies like many have, and they have the pause when removed from ear feature.

Leather case is great. Charging case has a non-slip bottom, sapphire glass and charging indicators that tell the charge status of the case and both earbuds separately.

I got the black pair not the gaudy red, white or striped pair.

Happy with my purchase.

Love the tortoiseshell! They do sound much better than AirPods (they better for the price difference). Battery life is terrible though always dies on me.
 
They do sound incredible. I have the master and dynamic version and only the Sennheisers come close to the sound quality. Not a lot of bells and whistles and the battery life is subpar, but if you’re looking for fantastic sound in a wireless speaker, these are it.
 
$700 extra. These headphones are like a filtering mechanism for bad taste and poor judgment.

Why does it qualify for bad taste? And poor judgment.... $1000 is barely a percentage of my world so why not?
 
Hey OP, people on MacRumors will not understand this mentality. I'm a LV fan as well and those are nice grab to be honest. I'm buying the roadster bag in a bit and can't wait. But you like100% sure they sound better? Lol I remain skeptic.....

I promise you they sound amazing. They have a better seal than the airpods and the sound is just fuller. I love the roadster bag, totally jealous! If this year’s bonus is generous enough, I might get a Tambour Horizon 2 to replace my Apple Watch.

Hm interesting I might have to check them out as well. I've been waiting on the Air Pods 2 heard it was coming out in March? But these could be the answer hopefully? Yep been eyeing the roadster for some time now pulling the trigger this weekend. Get that bonus and cop the Tambour Horizon those look amazing!!

My angst was the connectivity but they connect as soon as you take them out, they pause when you remove them, and they don’t have the video to sound lag.

I work at a hospital across the street from the Apple campus and have seen workers testing the new AirPod case.... it’s basically the current one and someone took sandpaper to remove the gloss. My hunch is next year they’ll have the real Airpods 2, this year will be more AirPods 1S.
 
I expect they are crap, just like their handbags...

Actually they are probably very good since they are made by master and dynamic. The master and dynamic versions are a lot cheaper at only $300. I’ve got the m and d version and they are pretty fantastic as far as sound goes. Not sure why anyone would pay the extra $ for just a paint job and name, but that’s none of my business.
