[PTC Gull]

So Apple release this today.

Can the good folk of NSC give some examples of any other gadgets whose carrying case resembles underwear?

Not as mad as the price

They'll be very good, and you'll be able to sell them for 60% of what you paid for them after 1-2 years of use...

No, no they won't be very good at all. They'll be overpriced and mediocre sounding, but they'll have a little apple symbol on them which is the most important thing.

I realise the makes me a marked man, but that did make me chuckle.

 

[zefarelly]

oh dear

with any luck those wearing them will get run over and tidy up the gene pool a bit.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wow. Cool. 2020 isn’t all doom and gloom!

That's not very forward-thinking - who would run NSC then...?

I'm surprised [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] hasn't shut down NSC for six months for this announcement.

If you want real quality sound and build dodge Beats and these and get yourself a set of Sennheisers for 1/5 the price.

For £500 you could get yourself a decent studio level sound system. Absolutely insane.

How would he pay for his new earphones?

It's quite appropriate as you will undoubtedly feel a right tit once you've spent £550 on them.

Isn't that the idea, then in 6 months time version 2 will come out with a 10% improvement, then version 3 with another 10% etc etc etc, that'll be over £1k a year income from each Apple user, perfect business sense.

Not sure about that, but AKG have ruled the roost for headphones in recent years, some cracking stuff and well under 3 figures.

Apple’s !!!!!

with non-backward compatible upgraded plug/socket to maximise the improvement

I’ll probably just wear mine around my neck as an accessory so no need to worry about this. I wonder what they sound like? Any reviews on sound yet?
