I remember the release and all of the reddit and HN comments were to the tune of “this is stupid” “you’ll lose them” “they look dumb” “now I have to buy a cable to connect the two”

The idea that you could have two, disconnected pods seems to have been quite bold.

You can also find a group of comments holding any opinion

The obvious idea of wireless is anything but bold

These weren't fringe ideas, they were all of the top level, highly upvoted comments.

While the Airpods seem completely obvious now, they were pretty radical and controversial when first announced.
