Yeah, because I really want my fucking headphones recording video.
I think most people won’t be worrying about their own headphones.
Very true.
Or people walking around me with their camera headphones pointed at me even when they don‘t realize it. Fucking love this big brother economy.
It’s Apple. People will buy them no matter what
Apple is also developing smart glasses and an AI pendant that could launch as soon as early 2027, according to Gurman.
Nobody asked for this. This AI push is stagnating innovation.

This AI push is stagnating innovation.
I think it’s the other way around, corporate consolidation (including capturing our governments and getting all research funding) killed innovation a while ago and now AI is just the latest non-idea that is being used to cover up that none of the corporations have any new ideas. Even Apple’s latest good idea, ARM laptops, was basically done by cheap Linux nettops a decade ago.
Also, ARM laptops were Steve Jobs’ last big idea. He put in place Apple’s last 10 year plan before he died. The first M series laptop came out nine years after his death.
The reason being that Apple is actually considered to be one of the founding members of ARM so they have unique access to the core. Moving to ARM was always the plan after moving to Intel. Apple was the first company to produce a portable ARM device, the Newton back in the early 90s before Jobs’ return.
So even that innovation isn’t exactly new.
Finally, someone solved the age old problem of ears not seeing well enough
they saw the outrage at meta glasses and decided “I need this”
I hope they will be banned in EU.
Wait, isn’t the EU generally chock full of surveillance? Including some member countries going so far as to have facial recognition as a norm?
Not really, no.
England especially
England isn’t part of the EU.
lol I forgot about that
Ewwwww.
A solution in search of a problem
I like AirPods (Pro) but this is a real no-go (for me). If this really gets pushed and in the stores, will not purchase them.
I wish companies would just get away with AI and unnecessary crap like this.
I LOVE my pros but also for sure would not buy headphones with shitty AI garbage in them. I’ve never enabled Siri on anything and never will
I have Pros gen 1 and was thinking of upgrading in the not-too-distant future since the battery life is waning. Those camera ones can fuck right off, but that also means I’ll be able to pick up some gen 3’s in closeout.
Fuck. Tom Scott was right.
in-ear cameras. Didn’t even have this on my bingo card
Well atleast I know who to avoid once they are available.
Fuck.
Anyone know of any good headphones that have the airpod in-ear shape? (Like these)
Hate the Skullcandy style with the shitty rubber nubs, those hurt my ears. (Like these)
But that’s all anyone makes now other than airpods non-pro and cheap shitty airpod knockoffs (but I still want halfway decent headphones.)
No it isn’t “just the wrong size” don’t bother with that, I just have way too tight ear pussies and I need it to rest outside the hole like the first pic.
I imagine they’ll still sell the non-camera version.
In that case I’ll be fine, but tbh I’d like better ones anyway were they to exist.
I can’t use in ear buds because they get ejected by my ear canal. But I have to wear hats so I can’t wear 🎧 style. I got some Shokz bone conduction head phones and they are awesome during daily activities. You can get better sound elsewhere, but hard to beat the convenience.
They have at least 3 models for sale at any given time, last I checked. I can’t imagine they’d make all of them like this, as surely these will be dramatically more costly to produce and are likely to chug on batteries compared to the others. I think you will be safe for now, and the bubble will have burst by the generation after that, since it is already on borrowed time.
I wish you the best of like finding them, but I genuinely think you’re on the minority of the market. I upgraded from the first to the second and the original pods physically hurt my ears wedging a bit of hard plastic into soft tissue
You can probably still find the older airpods.
For now.
You’re right, I also prefer this shape but couldn’t find a good one. I’m using Sony WF-1000XM5 now and am quite happy with them, but it would be better if they made this shape
Endlessly asking AI what to do will cause people to lose the ability to think analytically.
That’s already the case, time to make it worse
No more using my headphones for masturbation. 😆
A resolution low enough to be able to identify “ingredients they have in front of them”. And they’re also planning to launch smart glasses (read: spyglasses) and AI pendants (read: consumer bodycams), as to be able to compete with Meta and OpenAI (with regards to harvesting data without consent?) But I guess you first introduce them into one of your most widely-adopted wearable, where the high probability of people being spied on, isn’t as obvious compared to relatively uncommon spyglasses or bodycams.
