We had no doubts before but the harm this will cause is unbelievable.

At least until now you kind of sort of was forced to interact with actual human beings if you met them face to face although already the smartphone made a dent in that. Now... much less. See https://disconnect.blog/apples-vision-pro-headset-deserves/ for more.

Of course, it'll be a success, everyone was in agreement openly wearing a bluetooth phone headset https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bluetooth_headset.jp... was basically a sure sign of the wearer being an asshole but Apple painted it white , rotated it downwards and presto! it's now trendy.

Let's be honest, a Bluetooth headset like you've linked is very different to that of a pair of earphones. One was build for calls, the other is built for music and calls.

The Airpods aren't just trendy, they're actually an excellent pair of earphones.

Jobs is dead but the reality distortion field survived.

I think you have a reality distortion geared towards Apple hate.

Because Apple was totally the first to make wireless earbuds that could allow you call people.

But hey, if it helps you sleep at night

The first says you have half my attention and I can interrupt you at anytime, the second says my attention is somewhere else when on and at you when off.

That’s what makes it asshole vs socially acceptable.

No, this is made up bullshit, there's nothing more socially acceptable , it's just one is Apple the other isn't.
