i would be concerned about hanging these on a stand. That constant pressure, for many hours at a time in a small area of the mesh might damage it.

Or… perhaps a stand that isn't just a sharp object putting pressure at a single point?

Really needs to go to 200BPM

yes, 220 is even better for practically usable.

If you have a legitimate reason for checking for a medical condition at such heart rates a simple two point reading isn’t what you should be going for anyways; and if you can’t get your heart rate below 150 to do a reading, then you don’t need a reading to tell you to call for an ambulance. 

Here's the tl;dr for this thread: "Everyone but me is stupid".

It's kind of fun/depressing to read all these comments that are all 173% sure the product will either fail or succeed; and yet absolutely no-one here has had a chance to actually f*cking listen to the headphones to give their opinion based on the sound.

Damn, some people really get triggered by the mere existence of us vegetarians and vegans. 

I can have all kinds of opinions about wattage and whatever without the people disagreeing making it personal, but question the use of leather in a product and people suddenly feel an urge to discuss the shape of their teeth, and whether or not their dinner was tasty. 

Just to be clear, in case I wasn't, I didn't question the use of leather per se, but was pointing out that myself and others will find it problematic.

Since posting I've found lots of alternatives on the market to consider, just not from Apple.

When I a couple of years ago got the leather folio from Apple I was ok with compromising about leather when there were no equally good other options; and at least back then that folio was the only one on the market with that sleep/wake functionality (which Apple since then seem to have stopped talking about; probably because FaceID and that whole attention thing).

But lately it's become so easy being vegan that it really stands out when a company like Apple still offer products that without any apparent reason isn't vegan friendly.
