My first pair of headphones had 4 meters of cable, so I can listen everywhere in my room including bed. Technics RP-F300 were I pain to use. So yeah, I think Apple is on the right track with wireless headphones. But I don't understand why they don't use USB-C for the iPhone. They can't even provide fast charging over Lightning.

Lightning predates USB-C by several years and I suspect the shape, size and reversibility feature is based heavily off Lightning. If you remember the shit storm that happened when they removed the 30-pin connector, I doubt Apple wants to go through that again; people already distrust/hate Apple enough.

As an Apple user I want to charge my iPhone and my Mac using the same cable. Then I want to use the same cable to connect those two devices. Steve Jobs will have done this instead of investing in Apple Car and Apple Watches.

Wireless is probably the right track. But it feels too early and not thought through enough. $159 is not a starting price to get people on board. Shipping a wired headset with the phone does not show initiative. Of course that is just me complaining about tech I was never going to buy anyway

They are dual driver wireless headphones with four microphones, two accelerometers, two processors, individual batteries and a battery powered case. $159 is pocket change, really.
