@larand As I said, I'm a wired headphone person too. An accessory to a device should not cost more than 5-10% of the device the accessory is for. The Apple AirPods are a fair bit more than that, as are any "decent" headphones, wired or otherwise. And wireless headphones so far have been a shitshow.
If I had to make the choice now, I'd still probably continue on with Apple because I find the Android alternatives not to my liking in many other areas. In a year, when the 's' models come out, the calculus will likely be different.
