thats why i own apple stocks. as long as consumers are defending the company for even the craziest prizes - i'd be fine
monitor stand 1k ... no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MWUG2D/A/pro-stand
wheels for 800 ... no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-rollen-kit
thunderbold cable for 179 ... no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MWP02ZM/A/thunderbolt-4-pro-kabel-3-m
i'm happy when you are ... paying 500 for the headphones is ok if it makes you happy ... not for the value of the headphones, but your happyness is worth much more
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
Some of us just buy the computers/phones/tablets and buy the accessories elsewhere, you know.
apple is working on that as well :)
i mean if i think about the magic mouse with the touch guestures to scroll for example - even if logitech is doing a much better job, they just dont get access to the api to implement the smooth scrolling like you get with apple products
its those things which makes apple a nogo for me ... and of course the crazy prices
but i get old and tired of hating ... i just buy the stock and benefit from the users who are ok with all that
My logitech trackball works just fine on my Mac.
