I don't know if I necessarily agree the line of thinking that Airpod users will buy more than one pair, but the potential to push Airpod Pro's syncing capabilities to other rooms is interesting.
A fun example would be to use Airpod Pros as walkie talkies with other Pro users in the same house or area.
Definitely would interested in tinkering with any Dev kit came out for building Airpod apps.
- soneil 7y agoBuying more than one pair happens quite easily - I did, but I didn’t set out to do so. When the second generation came out, I upgraded for the wireless charging. I tend to sleep with one in (a pre-existing habit, and as I’m an “active sleeper”, one that benefitted from being freed from the tangle), so I kept the previous pair as my bed-pair. This usage is noticeably detrimental to the battery, so I figured keeping the old ones like this would save me doing the same damage to the next pair. Now I’be upgraded again to the pros, but kept the gen2 because they better fit the times that I only have one in one ear (which the pros don’t seem to suit well at all). So I now have three pairs, not because I wanted three pairs - but because the situational uses I’ve found for them, feel more appropriate than discarding them while they still work. And I can’t imagine this is going to be a very rare outlier, thanks to the huge ick component of their resale value.
- msci100 7y agoInteresting! That's a great example of why to have multiple pairs. Learn something new every day.
