I don't want a Jaybird so that's not a winning argument for why I would want these.

I'm comparing them to my $90 noise cancelling over ear headphones that, while yes no exactly top tier, don't require their own charging infrastructure and have much better audio quality than stock apple.

I may as well have an entirely separate MP3 player that costs me a good bit less than $160 than deal with this BS.

Just because you personally don't like wireless headphone doesn't mean Apple's overpricing theirs.

Most pure wireless headphones cost more than $150. Are you the target audience? Probably not, but for people who are looking for that type of solution Apple's pricing is very reasonable.

Maybe he's suggesting that headphones are headphones and $150 is too much for what is probably a pretty mediocre pair in terms of audio quality and ease of use.
