I am not a fan of earpod form factor at all but Jabra's wireless earphones are rated better by many sites like Wirecutter and at least I find the sound quality of Jabra much better.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoEven if Jabra is better, how many people discover Jabra as they cycle through a bunch of pretty bad options? It's kind of like suggesting that Lenovo's T14s (I picked it at random) laptop is better and cheaper than a Macbook, so why would anyone a Macbook: People still have to wade through the X1 series, the P series, the rest of the T series, the X series, the Yoga series, the E series, the L series, the 11e series, just to find that one Macbook-killer. Or they can just go to apple.com and buy a laptop and be done with it. Except in this case, it's bluetooth earbuds.
- actuator 6y agoIsn't that the point we are making here? This would eventually lead to a handful of companies dominating so many major markets. Jabra, Spotify are not competing with Apple on just merit. Apple has the advantage of pushing Airpods, Apple Music on their Macbook/iPhone customers because they have the cash and branding space on a red carpet for them.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoApple is successful because they make good products. I'm extremely satisfied with Apple Music, my iPhone, and my Airpods Pro. So are almost all of my friends who use them. We all want to blame a boogeyman for all of our problems. There are plenty of alternatives available to Apple Music, the iphone, and the airpods. How many brands make wireless earbuds? how many phones? and Spotify, Amazon Music, Google, etc, all offer competing music streaming services. Apple certainly leverages many advantages is has, so does every other company. That doesn't make it monopolistic.
