What about the quality of the headphones?
For me that's the main problem of Apple headphones: they are utter crap in terms of sound quality.
Another problem I could see: you add weight to the chord which will make the headphones more likely to fall from the ear, that's a big deal if you do sports with it.
- prophetjohn 14y agoThe weight issue is a good point. It's also an issue if you have them hanging from your ears for hours. I would think it'll begin to hurt sooner.
- fluxxy 14y agoThese headphones are the standard issue Apple headphones but we could release a higher quality headphone with the same magnetic cord. As for the weight, the magnets are so small they make it only slightly heavier, about the weight of a quarter. From our testing there is not much difference. The magnets secure the split cable under your chin so they stay in place while running.
- jessriedel 14y agoHow much does the just the headphone cord weigh (i.e. without the ear buds or the jack)? I would guess it's less than a quarter, so that you're more than doubling the cord weight, but I don't know. It's the proportional change in cord weight which is important.
