How do we know they offer better sound? I’ll wait for some reviews. Apple doesn’t enter a product category like this lightly or without careful price setting analysis. This is almost exactly the reaction people had to AirPods when they were announced.

I don't see how that's an exception at all - price sensitivity is presumably really low at that end of the market, and Apple priced accordingly. Who's realistically gonna pay $6,000 for a monitor and then buy an aftermarket stand to save $900?

You got me there, but that isn't a mass consumer product, either, so I think they are just charging whatever they feel like.

I would love to read that thread

Use hn search (algolia)... I was just skimming it. People were super skeptical about the original AirPods. Then they tried them :)
