I think the vast majority of people on the airpods to airpods pro path are on because like most people they hate the apple hard plastic headphones.
The reason that the people that have both pairs they polled is because the people in their family/friend group that they would give them to don't have airpods specifically because they hate the hard plastic.
It is very interesting that they still look quite stupid when you see people wear them but it is enough of a different type of stupid than google glass that people won't laugh at you out loud in public.
- Animats 7y agoFrom the article: "This technology prowess and manufacturing acumen goes to waste if people don’t actually want to be seen wearing the devices. Apple’s success at redefining luxury, combined with the company’s design-led culture, gives the company a large advantage in the area of understanding what people will want to wear on the body." Apple, after all, is the company that successfully positioned white-wire earphones as cool. Users could easily have been ridiculed as "iDweebs", like Google's "Glassholes".
