Maybe. I use an Android phone and still prefer my Airpods over everything else I've tried. I really don't think it's just branding that made them the hit that they are. Apple Watch has just not been useful enough for my lifestyle, but everything I hear and read about them, compared to the competition, gives me a similar 'vibe' to the AirPods: even if feature-by-feature there might be better products, they do a good job making their core usage smooth in a way that other products don't. I don't know if that's true, but for me it definitely was for the iPhone, AirPods, and even MacBooks despite their recent slump. It bothers me that people are assuming that I make my choices just because of branding.
