Well, that was never the case.

Apple screens have never, ever been cheap.

I know.

Yeah, I think it's III, but it doesn't matter.

I actually tried one of their pairs of headphones back when I was reviewing headphones during that brief time in my life before there were way too many of them.

And they were fine.

But that's all I could say about them.

They were fine.

But I wasn't impressed.

I mean, one of the ways that things like this have been modular in the past has basically been, like, you can clip on a cover, like a plastic cover of a different color where you want it.

So you can customize your color scheme.

And, like, there was a brief phase.

I think I was part of that.

I don't know if that's still what they're doing now.

Yeah.

There was a brief phase like in like the mid 2010s where like every headphone brand had some kind of like, quote, modular design like that, where they would they would sell you like you can get any of these five different translucent plastic things you can clip on your headphones and make them unique.

So that's that's one version of modularity.

I don't think that version of it ever went anywhere.

Yeah, and all you're doing is adding weight where there didn't need to be and adding bulk.

Yeah, exactly.
