I have the newer Hammerheads and I can attest they are significantly better than the 2nd generation Apple EarPods in low-end and mid-range frequencies so there is a noticiable "oomph" and overall sound quality, especially for $99. The only bad thing about it is the lack of any modern Bluetooth codec (e.g. no aptX or LDAC, but the "gaming mode" helps with the latency), shorter range than the EarPods and the short battery life.

People still play Pokemon?
Niantic is doing a great job trying to kill it by banning millions of players, good job.
No sensible company would say we don't need your business, especially to that many people.
At best this might become a collector's item.
