People are satisfied because they need to justify their purchase. If the airpods costed much less, im sure we would have people complaining about audio quality and other minor issues, but when you pay that much you overlook the little things to justify your purchase.
- pklausler 9y agoOr, maybe they just really work well? I adore mine, and I have no idea what they cost when my wife ordered two sets.
- colept 9y agoI doubt that very much. Having owned Jaybirds Bluebuds and Airpods - I can say that without a doubt the number one selling feature is the convenience. The pairing is seamless. Switching between phone and computer is fast. Most days I forget they're still there until the battery dies and I have to charge them. If it weren't for the price, I would get a second pair. Airpods are just "well done." The audio quality is not exceptional, but everything else marks the definition of the new standard for bluetooth headphones.
- derefr 9y agoApple customers (and I am one) are, as a class, some of the most perfectionistic, whiny-if-it-isn't-just-right people I can name. Consider the new MBP with the touchpad. It cost a lot. People—people who own the thing—routinely call it garbage, just because they lost their Fn keys. I doubt a pair of earbuds is immune from that.
- rkho 9y agoYes, let's jump to conclusions that are thinly veiled in passive-aggressive commentary.
- glhaynes 9y agoNope, I'm actually satisfied. Bought a couple for friends because I liked them so much. They're both satisfied despite having paid $0.
- mordant 9y agoMy girlfriend loves her Airpods, too. First Bluetooth headphones she's been willing to put up with, heh - because they just work.
