The AirPod jokes wave has crested once again though a popular variant involves people scared or confused by headphones with wires. They’re the modern version of the Bluetooth headsets everyone was making fun of a decade ago. The argument against AirPods is that they look extremely dorky, it feels like anyone who wears them is bragging about being able to afford them, and they make anyone who takes a phone call on them look like they’re talking to a ghost (and also, what if you lose one of them).
