The AirPods Pro “Rattlegate”

Are airpods really universally agreed upon to be a "perfect product"?

Are we forgetting the price tag, the limited use time, the fact that they add 3 disconnected parts to your phone/headphones setup, or the fact that they were released along with the removal of a headphone jack, preventing users from opting out?

This is a pro in my experience. I think they were intentionally designed so that they earpieces would only ever be in 2 places: in your ear or in the case.

The success of AirPods continues to astonish me. I was gifted a pair, and they're sitting at the bottom of a drawer somewhere because I find them so irritatingly bad.

Highest customer satisfaction of any Apple product in history.

You sure as hell better be satisfied when you're paying quarter of a grand for an earphone.

AirPods were only $149.

Mine have lasted nearly three years, the first time I’ve ever had earphones last over 6 months without breaking.
