Every headset I have seen looks really unfashionable. Even the Vision Pro looks kind of bad. It is too bulky for the relaxing atmosphere Apple was going for in its adverts. And too rounded to appear more edgy. It is not commiting to anything, kind of like the new Macbook Pro design. This stands in contrast to Airpods (small but bold shape) and the Apple Watch (practical and elegant).

I must be one of the only people in existence who absolutely hates the aesthetic look of AirPods, for lack of a better word, they're abnormally "long" looking when they're hanging from one's ears.

The stems make them easy to orient in your ears without looking, and it brings the mics closer to your mouth.

This is what the Airpods look like to me:

Yeah people weren't exactly thrilled about the look of AirPods when they first released. Everyone thought they looked so unflattering. I do agree that the AVP does look too clunky for the general public, but it's not hard to imagine that this will be improved upon with every future generation.
