Is it, in fact, the Bluetooth headset’s heir apparent as the universal dick badge? Is it some kind of sinister omen of a future in which we each live in our own warped fantasy bubble?

"780mAh battery" yeah, no thanks. I've seen what batteries do when they overheat; but hopefully they won't have a Samsung situation.
