    I’m not defending anyone. I am not buying every product from Apple. Yes, those prices are absolutely insane.

    Interesting to see how others tag passioned Apple users with that one cliche as if they were all mindless cattle.

      still you bought a pair of 500$ headphones from apple where you’d get “semi-professional” ones from the leaders of that segment for the same price range (bose, senheiser, sony)

      for audio fanatics those 500$ seem insane as well … just saying

        No I personally haven’t.

        Apple is leading the sales on in-ear headphones. Are they the leaders? Who defines leaders? I admit that there are users who deliberately buy the feeling when purchasing specific Apple products. Mostly those who don’t need to review the price-tag a few times. But they are surely not the majority.

        And again: Its interesting to see how so many throw these two different buying personas in to the same pot and declare all Apple users mindless cattle.

          not wanting to throw you into any bucket … just want to point out that your argumentation isn’t 100% valid

          like this comment … are you saying, because they sell the most “in(!)-ear” headphones, they must be the leader of high quality on-ear headohones with anc etc?

          if you think so - thats fine, i personally don’t
