The design is a copy of the Bowers & Wilkins. As for the sound, well, I still can recall the Beats scam/catastrophe. All in all, not sure if I'd pay 550. For that price you can get some TRULY GOOD over-ears

I’ve got to agree, they look far to similar to the B&W’s and there’s no wow in the design for the price tag. Very curious how it stands up in audio quality compared to the other great over-ears out there

@pau_todo I own the B&W headphones, to me they look significantly different. I'l stick with them too, they are great quality at a better price.

@pau_todo @andreasduess I don't really see the similarity, unless a Toyota is similar to a Tesla because they both have four wheels and a chassis?

@pau_todo I think 'copy' is a tad hyperbolic...

Is there any point in ProductHunt "reviews" on pre-release products? Seems like more of a sentiment tracker, considering it's not possible to give an actual product review

Am I the only one remembering all experts that laughed at Apple AirPods when released? “Nobody will buy them because they’re ugly, will get lost in the snow, don’t have X, Y, or Z, and are too expensive.” Just a few years later, AirPods have an estimated market cap of $175B-$200B USD and would have been one of the 50 largest companies in the US. More than 50% of all wireless headphones sold are AirPods, and all other companies are copying them. I recommend not to bet against Apple.

I'll stick with my rechargeable, Bluetooth in-ear hearing aids. Yes, they cost more but they do more. Beautiful design, color, and they came with a great case. :-P

Assemble

Surprisingly, not a fan. They look kind of like old school air controller headphones from the 80s. Usually Apple is spot on with design.

I wonder who the honest demographic is... If you're a melomaniac or a music professional, I'm sure you'll go for better audio quality and features (for a more affordable price), and if you're just a standard person, I find it hard to justify spending this money in a market that is so competitive. Interesting release from Apple's part.
