I am still in awe how Apple is playing masses. They are releasing overpriced piece of hardware, incompatible with other standards, with questionable solutions, closed architecture.
And people are amazed by it, thought of it as luxury, what a band of sheep.
I think you missed the most important point of all.. product quality.
In case you missed my topic here on it there is NOW a class-action lawsuit for the latest drama..
Touch-DiseaseRemember Bend-Gate ?
Over priced ..ya it would be if the shit worked LOL
In other words it's far worse than that.
And on the topic here ?
I have to shake my head..
I like my full size headphones for at home on my stereo when i might play Counter-Strike
But i have a collection of Earbuds i spent years shopping for.. check out Head-Fi.org
I have actually ordered some off Newegg tried them once and then gave them away.
I like to try cheaper ones and see how they are etc.
For some reason i always end up favoring cheaper Sony Earbuds though.
When i got my first pair with 9mm Neodynium magnets the tech was newer and you had to spend $100 to get them.
Years later they cost $10 now at Wallmart.. same tech specs and build quality etc.
People just assume if it's cheap it has to be crap.. NOT so !
I would never by any Beats bullshit though..
I did lots of research before on Wireless Earbuds and was ready to spend any amount of money needed.
Problem is the tech is actually crap.
Google search it and get into it and you will all see.. this is a primitive technology still.
Wireless headphones are not a good option for those that want quality sound.
If your a noob-lemming and don't care then yeah have at 'er go nuts.
Me ? No thanks i will pass thanks.
