After Apple unveiled AirPods Max this morning, the internet jumped quickly into mockery mode. The pricey over-the-ears headphones come with a case that lots of jokesters think looks like a bra.

And that’s just the start.

Put on your AirPods Bra

Noted Apple tipster L0vetodream suggested the BRA Air.

Others likened the case to a sleep mask.

Or a purse.

Let’s not forget the price

AirPods Max starts at $549. That fat price tag drew some humorous criticism, too.

While others have been quick to point out all the other gear that costs less than AirPods Max.

And no poor people need apply.

AirPods? Really?

There have even been quips about the name, as these over-the-ear headphones don’t have much in common with the original in-ear AirPods.
