  I think the purpose of it would be to control the device the headphones are connected to, rather than be the source of the media

    so its basically an over-engineered version of this thing

      But you see, that one has wires. We aren’t supposed to like wires.

    But… My earpieces already have 2 touch zones and multiple press combinations.

    Right, so it’s not really an iPod Nano.

    I tried a pair of earbuds with the same idea from AliExpress. They had the regular controls, but also worked as e.g. a camera remote. Very cool if it had done anything it was supposed to do consistently, but unfortunately it was not well-implemented. If the AirPods Pro 3 (which I was already strongly considering) have a case with a screen that isn’t much larger than the Pro 2 case, I’ll probably buy that model.

    Don’t the headphones already do that?

      My guess would be that you could control things like playlist, shuffle, etc. Like a smartwatch interface but only for music.
