Really? I thought bluetooth headphones were a thing way before Apple woke up about it. This "Apple made wireless headphones the feature of daily life" is just bizarre to me.
May be for people who are stuck with Apple, anything that happens outside it doesn't exist.
- Gigachad 5y agoIt’s hard to understate how successful apple was with wireless headphones. I opened this thread while standing on the street, and as I look around, _all_ of the headphones I saw were AirPods. The AirPods are by far the most successful headphones ever.
- shmerl 5y agoDepends on where you are. May be in your area Apple usage is disproportionally dominating, so you simply don't see anything else. I don't buy this whole "Apple made it common" thing in general. They just like to present as novelty what existed long before they decided they think their users should start using it. And their users start thinking it's common when Apple decides for them.
