There were good, ubiquitous replacements for VCRs when DVD players came out.
This would be like if Sony stopped selling VCRs in 1998 when they just happened to own the patent on blu ray, and a major movie studio.
Actually it's exactly what Sony tried to do with minidisc, except it worked.
- rahoulb 8y agoNot really. I use Bluetooth headphones - they are branded but not a major brand (in fact a company known for something else). Bluetooth is pretty ubiquitous and has been for a decade. The charging case means I have to recharge them every ten days or so (so I don’t worry about it), the sound quality is good enough and I don’t get tangled any more. The only disadvantage is switching between multiple devices can be a bit fiddly at times - which is where AirPods do come into their own.
