I mean true. These will be the biggest selling $500 headphones just because they are from Apple and people who never thought of buying $500 headphones are the people who are going to buy these, not people who are high quality audio hobbyists. They will try and get them on the heads of athletes getting off the plane just like Beats etc...

I mean I will have to wait to see them in person but tbh they look pretty ugly, like a no-name luxury headphone you would see at bestbuy for $70 marketed to a female market.

The price point is ridiculous but the Bose go for like $350? so I can see it I guess. Will have to wait till reviews. For me on quality to buy they would have to compete the entry level prosumer stuff HD-650 etc. But they are closed back, active noise canceling so it is a completely other market that I don't even have headphones in.

For walking on the street or in a plane I am into chi-fi IEMs that are like $35 and compete with $500 stuff and just block out the sound through isolation.
