A hacker audience (as the Hacker in Hacker News) likely has different criteria for a headset to be good such as

- not being locked down

- compatible with GNU/Linux and/or *BSD

- open source firmware which can easily be flashed by an own build

- publicly available documentation of the interface (e.g. USB bytestream)

- ideally: openly documented schematics

- ...

I don't believe that Apple's headset will deliver on these criteria.

Thus: Don't adopt the opinion of some influencer if there is a given likelihood that he judges a product based on different criteria than you.
