I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.

I think that will fade. I don't know if you remember how mocked the airpods were when they first came out ("They look like q-tips"). All it'll take is a few celebrities spotted using one and they'll turn cool in no time.

I don't recall the AirPods ever being mocked. Why would they be, after years and years of almost identical-looking earbuds being sported in public?

But long before that we had DoucheTooth (or BlueTool, whichever you prefer) earpieces. Now those were mocked.
