Great comment on Mac rumors said something about this getting air pods banned at gyms.

I wonder if it will also make it hard to wear AirPods anywhere because of social stigma. I don’t want people afraid I’m recording them.

The release will be a critical time for a reaction. If too slow "everyone" will have these just like you see airpods in almost everyones ears. A gym might then not want to ban them anymore since almost all of their customers are wearing them. Apple and their airpods might have the right amount of mainstream pull to make this a new normal, unfortunately. It is something that Meta was not able to do with their glasses.

I'd feel bad for any casual airpod owners but....that would be so, so funny if they went from the product you were uncool for not using to the product that gets you glares

Yeah I wear mine quite a lot, the seemless movement between devices is very nice, but I would 100% switch to different headphones if this is true
