That's what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.

People on here are wired.

Air pods just look like regular apple headphones just without wires.

They sure as shit look less goofy than my huge pixel buds that stuck an inch out of my ear.

You’re probably thinking of the current gen AirPods rather than the original (comparison).

Lol. So Gen 2 they were finally like "let's shape this thing more like someone's ear". Then Gen 3 "Fuck it, ears are apparently different shapes let's just go with the tried and true method that's been around on $5 earphones for a decade"

Only “pros” have human ears. Everyone else must be mutants.

I'm kind of surprised people felt that way about AirPods. I don't remember that at the time. They seem quite mild to me at this point - people didn't mind wearing regular earbuds around, why worry if there's a cord or not?

I thought they looked like uncooked long macaroni.

They look like puss leaking out of the ear to me.
