To any of they naysayers, I'd say survey the competition for AirPods. They are far beyond anything else available in terms of ergonomics and battery life for wireless earbuds. Audio quality is less of an issue in the first place if you're talking about Bluetooth anyways. Audiophiles should stick with wired.

They're also, at least as of a month or so ago when I last looked, fairly low-priced for their product category.

If you want a "true wireless" headphone (and, from personal experience with these, I find it quite compelling), you're not going to pay much less than Apple's price. I think the cheapest I've seen is $150, and that's lacking the Apple polish.
