Yeah... Bose and Sony are for those people that don't actually know what they're talking about. They're okay, but they're not worth their usual price tags. Sennheisers are the way to go, in terms of quality of sound.

I used to have a pair of bose headphones (they broke because I accidentally dropped them, but lasted something like 3 years or so) and I can confirm they were AMAZING. sometimes I still dream about the audio quality and noise-canceling.
he is thinking if he can sue them for copyright /brand infringement... airjordon airpods...
They have customers who either don’t care or would sell a kidney to get one... either way they win
Aww yiss - Peltors are the best! Many, many bad memories avoided by judicious use of peltors.

They will sell well. Not despite the high price but because of it. There are people who feel validated because they own the 'best' thing around (or at least the most expensive)
Unpopular opinion I love how people are making fun of apple but are gonna be the first to buy them..Lmao
The reason they’re so high is because diehard Apple fans will buy it no matter what.
You can get a really nice set of Bluetooth headphones for $150. Last a long time.

I don't own any of the products, so I guess I will never understand the cult of Apple.
The rules of the Apple cult... no one talks about the Apple cult... denies the Apple cult... and simply jot down the names of people leaving negative comments... for revenge when Apple cult rules the world 😂

I never bought an Apple product, so I don't judge their price or quality. The market is based on supply and demand. It may not be worth it for me, but it's worth it for some others, and who am I to say? I can find (probably just as) good quality alternatives for lower price, and I find no reason to splurge, but if someone else does, I don't think it's ridiculous either. (Of course if they use Apple albeit not being so well-off then it IS ridiculous). Apple keeps pricing their products highly because they sell. And if they sell, then their price IS appropriate.
I've had an iPhone before. I wasn't impressed. Honestly, I feel like because there's more competition in the Android market, there's more innovation and a drive to be better. Apple is the boutique product that looks good, functions, but is really just a brand.

Or people who are rich... it is all a matter of perspective. For most people, spending $549 is the kind of purchase you should stop and think about. But for someone who has 100x more money than you... this is just a casual purchase. Like you buying something for $5.50 vs a different brand for $2.25. Sure, the $2.25 one is a better deal, but if the $5.50 one amuses you, then what the heck, buy it for a laugh.

I defy anyone to tell me that they can hear the difference between Apple's Airpods and a brand costing 1/3 the amount in a blind test.
I've got a pair of wireless earphones that cost me £40 ( over £100 cheaper than airpods) and I genuinely prefer them to my old airpods. So yea.. airpods are a rip off that people only buy because they're apple and it makes them seem "rich" or something.

If you sold pants and you knew people would be $80 for them, you're saying you'd only charge $45? Right.

Seriously? I have Sony headphones and they were over half the price. Best headphones I’ve ever had.
This is exactly why I abandoned Apple products years ago. They aren't innovating anything, they're making the same stuff that Android companies are making, but for ten times the price.
I had some airpods. Then I bought a backup pair of cheap £40 wireless earphones and now my airpods have been gifted to someone else because I genuinely prefer the cheaper ones. xD
I’m not gonna lie, these were all kinda saying the same thing, and they were all true. Only thing I’m pissed about is that the AirPods Pro price hasn’t gone down yet, and I was waiting for this to buy those.
TL;DR version : too expensive, looks like a bra, funny comparisons.

Apple is ripping their customers and people still keep buying them
I wear my headphones...A Lot. I got them second hand from my sister and they are Bose. And I also used to sell Bose as a profession. They are still, hands down, some of the best I have used. Retailing at around $345 brand new.....I love them. They are a solid 6 years old and still going strong with zero issues. And I certainly cannot afford this even if I wanted....
It's funny, when Samsung creates something and it ends up on a blog, Apple people don't care. You don't see "You idiots should buy quality. Buy Apple!". They just go about their business and let you like what you like, but when Apple releases anything people get really angry. It's kinda funny. I like my Apple stuff. You can like your stuff. It's all good.
Yeah no thanks I’ll stick with my sonys and not getting jumped on the subway...I really don’t get hype brands...
Yeah, but I bet half of these people (probably more) have an iPhone or Mac. They can sell these at ridiculous prices for the same reason rents are so damn high; people will complain, but in the end just accept it and pay up. Welcome to the era of Captive Consumerism.
Like people were mocking the colored iMac, the iPhone and the iPad.
So no one mocked the AirPods Pro when they came out, but when Apple announced a full headset for just over double the price, everyone is apparently mocking them?
Come on, Apple are a status symbol, I know people who both can and can't afford them who have them, neither can justify it, you get vague "superior technology" waffle but none of them use it for anything techy, nothing that a device 1/3 if the price couldn't do.
iPhones can't be justified? Best UX, fastest processor. Done. Your last sentence is completely untrue.

From the producers of Beats, the most expensive less than mediocre headphones in the market... What could go wrong and overpriced? Does this U$S 550 crap cames also with lead weights to make it seem "more robust"?
Good quality headphones are expensive though. I pay $450 for mine (replace them as needed) and it’s worth it. I could pay $20 for a pair but then I wouldn’t get noise canceling, base, comfort without a headache, good microphones, long battery life etc. You get what you pay for, and Apple usually stands for high quality.
