Cupertino worshipers would agree: They’re ugly.
There have been a million toothbrush-in-the-ear memes about Apple’s
incredibly popular wireless earbuds — and many asides about how the eartip-
free form inhibits function with a form that offers poor noise isolation and
bass response — and yet Apple hasn’t changed the exterior design in two
generations.
Today, Microsoft announced its own entrant into the true wireless headphone
space: the Microsoft Surface Earbuds. On specs alone, they appear to be a
capable pair of headphones, and, unlike the AirPods, they actually have
proper eartips. But they have the same big problem as Apple’s earbuds and
so many of their contemporaries: They’re hideous.

Mondo-sized discs attached to an inner section that slips into your ears,
the Surface Earbuds make virtually anyone who wears them look like their
ears have been stretched by cheap plastic gauges from Hot Topic. And they’
re far from unique in this department.
From Google’s woeful Pixel Buds to Bose’s true wireless Soundsport Free,
far too many true wireless earbuds from major tech companies look like they
were designed for some modern-day Frankenstein’s monster, jutting out of
your ears like oddly formed mushrooms while you’re jamming around town.

So why are big brands so bad at making good-looking earbuds? Maybe it’s
because they don’t want to.
One of the key aesthetic features of the AirPods is just how much they catch
the eyes of those around you when you’re out and about. They’re ugly,
sure, but they’re also distinctive.
This is probably most evident in the popular meme-ification of AirPods
ownership as a visual status symbol. Because they feature such a distinctive
design, it’s easy to tell exactly who’s wearing them, making them
arguably the most visible pair of headphones ever created.

Sure, many people agonize over which pair of headphones to buy by poring
over reviews, but many simply buy the pair they see the most, assuming it is
the best (or at least among the best).
And yet, there is still a way to remain both distinctive and distinguished.
Look at the gorgeous offerings from audio-dedicated brands like Klipsch,
Master & Dynamic, and Sennheiser, and you’ll notice that they offer both
style and substance, aiming to deliver the best possible experience to their
listeners while also giving them a little something to flash out in public.
Frankly, while the better-looking true wireless headphones out there make us
feel a bit less weird with two earbuds sticking out of our ears, I’d like
to see more of what companies like 1More and Jabra are doing with their true
wireless offerings: Striving foremost for a fantastic fit, rather than
using our ears as flashy billboards to sell more product.
That’s one reason the aptly named 1More Stylish remain at the top of our
list of the best true wireless headphones. They look good, they sound good,
and they fit great.

And so Microsoft, Apple, Google, and others, I implore you: Enough with the
wacky designs.
Instead of trying to stand out with your funky take on ear paraphernalia,
how about putting a bit more function in your form and a bit less hype in
your style?
Wireless earbuds may never be truly fashionable, but they don’t have to be
garish either. Personally, I just want to listen to my favorite music around
town, in the gym, or at my desk — without looking like I’m headed to
Warped Tour 2007.
