The only product from Apple I've ever been impressed by was Airpods and now every other company has them. I bought mine on a huge sale because I don't respect their bullshit prices and I do like them a lot, but I'm sure there are other brands I would like just as much now that they've been around for years.
I tend to buy iMacs for my workhorse home machines. They tend to last about 10 years or more before I feel the need to replace them.
Great.
That’s funny because I think the AirPods are quite terrible, but what is great about them is how they just work. I have beats because I wanted them for working out, but they never have issues connecting or switching between devices. But they don’t sound great and you can most definitely get higher quality audio from other brands. But you can’t beat how easy it is to use them.
For me it's at least 90% the shape. I absolutely cannot stand the normal earbuds that have rubber you shove into your ear canal. It's insanely uncomfortable to me, borderline painful even with the smallest tips I've found. So when I first saw the shape of the original Airpods it was like beams of light shined down and harps started playing. So there's tons of alternatives now, but the ones I can choose from is still slim picking.
Yeah I hate the shape as well. The first apple earbuds (up until the most recent ones) are trash. I had to start wearing ear plugs to bed the past few years though so I've gotten way more used to stuff being in my ears. Still, earbuds suck.
