You think Apple's new Airpods look like toothbrushes, tiny shower heads... and Snoopy

Wireless "Airpods" were the most talked about announcement at Apple's latest iPhone launch.

The company is removing the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and introducing its own wireless technology.

Users will still be able to plug in regular headphones through the lightning port (the charging hole) - but only with an adaptor.

Socket rage across social media was inevitable - not least because the new headphones will cost £159 a pair.

Below is what the new earphones actually look like - and the funniest responses.

Hair dryers, toothbrushes, Snoopy... what DO they look like?

Noerdy thinks they look like Snoopy.

You could almost get entirely ready for work using some of these alternative uses for Apple's new creation.

First you have a shower...

Candice sees them as tiny shower heads.

Then you dry your hair...

Javier likens them to mini hairdryers.

Finally you brush your teeth...

Someone posting as Dr Sheldon Cooper goes with toothbrushes.

But if Xyer is correct, they'll not be around for long.

Xyer thinks they'll soon look like this.

Lots of people think they'll lose them

Tablo kicks us off with a Stranger Things screen grab.

And we would have lost them if it wasn't for those pesky kids.

But Anthony goes old school with Scooby Doo.

Let's talk fashion

They're going to make us look old school according to Simon!

Simon reminds us of the days of the Bluetooth headset.

We didn't even think about that Briana, now you've got us worried!

Briana is all about looking good.

And long gone will be the art of looking like you're listening to something to avoid being spoken to.

And what about those people who use their headphones for another purpose?

So how did Apple come up with the design?

Well this is one theory.

Shen Ye has this idea.

Hmm.... maybe not.

Mondaze thinks there's an easy way to avoid the £159 price tag.

"How to get the iPhone 7 Airpods for FREE!"

Kenney worries about what is to come.

Kenney jokes that Apple will remove the screen, home button and camera in the iPhone 8.

The practicalities are a common talking point

Perhaps it's best if Ross doesn't upgrade.

And Ross, who also thinks they look like hairdryers is clearly worried.

That'll be no listening to music in the park for Charlynn.

Charlynn uses the mighty American Office to highlight a good point.

Unless Dami is around with this great idea.

Charlynn... Dami has a solution for you.

Kishan, you have a very good point.

But there's no solution for Kishan's problem.

Did we mention you need an adaptor to plug in your existing headphones? Tommy is raging.

He tweeted: Hurray for #Courage! I can't wait to have adapters for my adapters to use my 3rd party adapters!

Not everyone thinks they're a bad idea...

Only Advice Animals used the late, great, Gene Wilder to show us their feelings.

We hate this too, so maybe you're onto something Kit.

Kit likes the idea of not having to untangle the chord.

One day we'll be nostalgic about the headphone jack in the same way we are (are we?) about the floppy disc.

And Kate thinks we will all be loving them in the future.

How else to end, but on this slightly sombre note...

Alex, we're with you. Rest in peace aux cord.

Alex, we're with you.
