bringing "in-air" gestures to airpods

I can't wait for stories of people brushing their hair away and the earbuds take that as a sign to raise the volume too high or something equally dumb to happen because they won't be able to differentiate between a normal gesture meant for it and something not meant for it.

Gesture controls are cool, but what happens if they are too sensitive to movement or think gesture xyz is the same as gesture zyx?

I think the problem would be there aren’t sensitive enough and you have people walking around talking to themselves and waving their hands all around in frustration

If someone is wearing them you will never be truly certain if a bee is flying around them or not.
