What Apple has done is produce something that isn’t a technology product, but is, rather, a fashion object
Is there a general consensus that they look fashionable? I was surprised how they look almost exactly like the old headphones with the wire cut off instead of having an entirely new design.
I think bluetooth headphones in general are great personally. Not having wires getting caught in things is ideal, there's no wire getting itself into knots, I find pairing easy and when some headsets have 20+ hours of battery the battery life really isn't an issue. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about myself.
Apple turned white earbuds into a fashion accessory back with the iPod.
Fair point, I remember how obvious it was iPods were getting popular when you saw lots of people in public wearing white cored earphones for the first time.
Not really. Having an iPod was fashionable and the white earbuds just let you show off your iPod. Samsung has white earbuds, you don't see many people wearing those.
