Do you also react the same to people with any of the many, many wireless headphone brands out there, or do you reserve your wannabe-cool smugness only for Apple users?

Most wireless headphones don’t really call attention to themselves. AirPods are truly, terribly ugly, and do. Granted, taste is a subjective matter.

If I’d ever noticed someone wearing the ridiculous Google Pixel Buds, I’d probably do the same thing. Life’s too short to waste on poor technology — and Bluetooth headphones are a poor replacement for headphones (and keyboards, and mice). I’m reminded a bit of those ludicrous TV infomercials: ‘Aren’t you tired of the hassle of tying your own shoes? Try new Velcro TieMasters™, and never tie a shoe again!’

I hate it when corded headphones get caught in door handles and yank out of your ears, it's such an uncomfortable feeling. Also, i've never heard anyone admit to smirking before.
