Hi! I’m Bonnie Average Consumer. Nice to meet you. > Ok, 3.5" headphones are objectively: cheaper, Perfect, I have no money. > simpler mechanically, That's nice I guess > more reliable, Neat > easier to use, Oh yeah I can just plug it in, easy. > easier to connect to different devices, Yeah I can just plug it into those, lots of stuff has that sound hole. > never run out of battery or require charging, that's true, plus I couldn't use them while they're charging, so if I forget it's a big issue. > you can't lose 1/3 of them, That is something that could happen. > and oh, yeah, they tend to sound better at the same price point. I'm no audiophile so I'd probably spend less to still get a decent pair. > A set of Shure SE315s will blow AirPods Pro out of the water on sound quality and noise isolation. $300 is pricey for mini-speakers > Yes, wireless headphones are wireless. That's all though. They play noises too I've heard. > None of this makes AirPods Pro a platform. Okay. > They're neat wireless headphones. Among the best wireless headphones probably. But that's still all they are. Okay. I guess my point is we can make up any kind of person, call them and average consume and present them with thoughts and opinions that match our own. Your comment was nothing but dismissal under the name of 'an average consumer' Yours, Average Consumer

Wow, it's almost like there are millions of different people with a wide range of preferences and wealth! Maybe there is room in the market for this product after all. Maybe that explains how it has already sold in the tens of millions.

  It's funny because I own both AirPods and 315s. I always have thought "Why did I pay so much for the 315s when I can get a crappy ol pair of wired headphones for $20 that work well enough." There wasn't a fantastic bluetooth connected option, I have owned 6-10 bluetooth wireless solutions, but nothing matched airpods.
