Yup. It does look worse and goofy. I don't know how or why, it just does. And those few trying to convince people otherwise are an interesting bunch.I don't understand the problem. The old EarPods look almost exactly the same.
But they also have a white cord that hangs down from both sides of your face... across your body... and into a pocket.
Are telling me that cords hanging from your head and body looks better?
