To me they look like shit. I'm sure gen Z and Alpha will love it.

I'll be interested in seeing a review on specialized sites. The 20 hours of battery life is impressive.

20 hours is low in this category. The Sony XM6s are 30h, the Bose QCs are ~24h. Sennheisers can do 40-50h. All with ANC on, the numbers are slightly higher with ANC off.

I don’t know that it should be a generation specific thing. I’m a millennial, and I like their look.

For me its the first product that caused a sensation of instant repulsion. Which made me think I'm falling outside the target audience.

Strongly assume most tech marketing is focusing on the newer generations of impresionables.

It looks to have near identical design to the initial iteration from 5-6 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

All colors? As a Gen X graybeard I think they simultaneously look like Completely Generic Cans and Macaroons On Your Head.

At AU$999 here in Australia, I'm not so sure they will.

Wired headphones and earbuds seem to be having a moment as well.
