    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.

        Thankfully I was brought into loving music with the scratches, hisses, and pops of old 45 records. I can save a bit of money because I can overlook a lot, with respect to audio quality. I have listened to superior sound quality so I understand what you mean.
