Wat. Vision Pro was a complete flop, Airpods aren't the best on the market, Apple Watch isn't the best on the market

VR in general was a flop. Airpods and Apple watch I'm fairly sure are way ahead of the rest in sales. Airpods on their own are bigger than most tech companies in sales.

Ya sure, they have more sales volume. Doesn't mean they're better. Toyota tells more cars than Rolls Royce.

Top-shelf wireless earbuds aren't from Apple. Same for smart watches.

"better" is subjective. Competitors might offer advantages in a narrow scope, but clearly as an overall package, consumers think the Apple product is best since they choose to buy them over the alternatives.

You are absolutely right. The average consumer is super smart. Has great taste. Definitely knows what's best.

Sells like a Toyota for the price of a Rolls Royce, kind of a win to me? And with a much better brand than Google or Facebook.

i love love my airpods pro. curious what is better than those?

Not for everyone obviously. But there are many, many, many, options at this level of quality.

I am not claiming these Sennheisers are the best. The parent claimed the Airpods are the best. Which is not true. That's all I'm saying.
