AirPods and AirPods Pro are much more competitive.Why buy AirPods Pro when you can buy XM3's? Why buy AirPods when you can by 1000 other bluetooth earbuds that cost nothing?
Maybe Apple haven’t, but the people that buy them have. For what they offer they are just to show off to everyone else you have the means to purchase them. If you were seriously into wanting a good, useful set of headphones with good features and accessories you wouldn’t give these a second look.They are made by Apple, they don't need to have any benefits over XM4s etc. You make some good points but the points about NFC support and wireless charging is pretty moot, why would Apple care about Android users? and wireless charging would be ridiculous for a pair of headphones, do any headphones of this shape charge wirelessly?
I think I saw on Reddit they are all pretty much sold out everywhere and its expected they will continue to sell well.
Apple have certainly not lost their minds, look at their financials. When was the last time they released a product that didn't do well?
I certainly won't be buying them but I won't stop my missus buying them if she wants them.

Arguably about £2/300 too strong considering XM4's, 700 or QC35.
Interesting to see reviews though, particularly how close they are to Beats.
I posted something similar above, but then I thought about cameras. Sony have been making cameras for years, but look how far ahead Apple and Google are with mobile photography.

Hey hey, look at all the people over there doing something I don't think is a good idea! They can't be right, because I'm right!Apple could release a dog turd with an apple logo and people would still buy it... Doesn't mean its a good product though does it?
The problem is the moronic sheep who will go and buy whatever apple sells and acts like its the best thing ever. Cant fault apple for taking advantage of those idiots, because we'd all do the same thing if we had the same level of control over them
From early reviews it does look like they are "a good, useful set of headphones with good features and accessories". The price is pretty much irrelevant, people are spending 1k on a phone when a £10 one does the same job. This is the same, its not a bad product. The value for money can be argued but they are genuinely not releasing bad products to the market.Maybe Apple haven’t, but the people that buy them have.

People love to bash Apple.Ah, ZP9, always coming in with the strong anti-Apple views. Why do you even come into this sub-forum if you dislike Apple so much? I really don't like Football, but I don't go into the Football thread and tell everyone how much I dislike it.
What annoys me most about these is the charging via lightening. Just why?!
I'm not the target for these at all, but jeez they really need to decide whether they're going to use USB C or not
I've just spent the last ten minutes going through the last few months worth of your posts in the Apple forums @ZP9 and then came back in here to basically post what's been said above.Ah, ZP9, always coming in with the strong anti-Apple views.
