I imagine the Apple marketing team are still slapping themselves silly over the fact that they can sell such a cheaply manufactured product for such an inflated price. Those little earbuds are like life-saving prescription medicine. Whereas my earphones come from the dollar store.

The base AirPods are really good sounding though. It’s annoying because I was planning to return them when they didn’t stay in my wife’s ears well, but ended up keeping them for myself.
