Apple Marketing sometimes can be incredulous:
>"First with our contour design that delivers sound directly to your ears"
What does that even mean?!? These are in-ear headphones, how else are they supposed to deliver sound?
Feels silly to have such a comment to make a two point slide.
- MBCook 5y agoThey like to make the page a certain size, and when there are only a few improvements over the previous generation… they get creative.

- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoThe point is, they didn't get that creative this time.

- theshadowknows 5y agothey _could_ project sound outward, using beam forming, such that the sound ricochets off of the walls and other surrounding objects and is directed onto the bones behind your ear. I'm not saying that would work, but it's an option!
- gumby 5y agoPretty sure that these are the only ones with their contour design, so I suppose this is truth in advertising.

- CharlesW 5y ago> "First with our contour design that delivers sound directly to your ears" Google shows this thread as the only place this quote exists. What Apple does say is, "Apple today announced the third generation of AirPods [marketing speak deleted] in a new contoured design", the benefit being that it "[sits] at just the right angle for comfort and to direct audio into the ear". This is a reference to the previous design of AirPods, which worked great for some people and not well for others (I was in the latter group). The implication is that the new design will be more comfortable for more people.
- vickychijwani 5y agoNo, the "delivers sound directly to your ears" is a direct quote from the event (I watched the whole thing). You can also find it on The Verge's live blog (they caught that silly quote too) - https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/18/22731639/apple-2021-macbook-pro-unleashed-keynote-live-blog https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/18/22731639/apple-2021-macb...
