Western women are comfortable clipping far more expensive diamonds, pearls, and gold to their ears. Sometimes they fall off and you look for them. Sometimes you lose one. This is sad. Life goes on. (Apple has already said there will be a way to replace a lost single unit.)

This analogy is pretty bad because most people who clip expensive accessories to their ears don't usually go jogging or commuting through very crowded trains/buses. I don't think losing them is going to be the main problem of the airpods though. I think they're too early for their time but have potential in the future.

  “This analogy is pretty bad because most people who clip expensive accessories to their ears don't usually go jogging or commuting through very crowded trains/buses” Have you never seen anyone jogging or on a train or a bus?

    I'm referring to more expensive earrings and necklaces that are used for parties and special occasions. Most people don't wear $600 earrings while going on a jog. The ones who wear expensive earrings to work generally don't have a commute on a crowded bus or train either. There are plenty of exceptions though. I've seen plenty of men with the stud earrings that are probably upwards of $400 that go jogging and do everything as normal but I've never heard of those falling off.

    Do people really wearing expensive jewelry on the crowded trains? If so I stand corrected. However, I'm not talking about studs or chains that don't fall off easily. I'm referring to dangling earrings that I consider "dress-up" accessories. And I know there are people, but I said generally don't.

Earrings need to either fail structurally or tear through your earlobe to be lost. Apple AirPods don't need to do either, they can just fall out.

  You're not wrong in general, but there are still plenty of men and women who wear clip-on earrings.
