Ya that's a fair point, but the flip side is that there are people in the comments ready to preorder, also without having tried the product. There's something cringy to me about that level of blind brand loyalty.

- leafmeal 6y agoI suspect return policies are often used to justify unnecessary purchases. How many times have you bought something online you didn't actually want, but then didn't return it because it was too much of a hassle? Even if things are returned, they can often end up in landfills still (though I doubt that would happen with these $500 headphones). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/marketplace-amazon-returns-1.5753714 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/marketplace-amazon-returns-1....
- 1123581321 6y agoIt's perhaps more fair to say that generous return policies reduce the risk of choosing a premium product in a category because they let the buyer verify the (subjective) value of it.
- fatbird 6y agoWho says that loyalty is blind? Typically the preorder purchasers have a bunch of other Apple products and are happy with them and trust that the headphones will live up to that. It might be optimistic (it definitely is sometimes), but it's based on an expectation built on history.
- tshaddox 6y agoWhat? There’s a difference between buying a product before trying it and making specific claims about how its sound quality compared to other products before trying it or even seeing any reviews. I buy tons of products before trying them...that’s how you try them.
