Such an amazing product, this year they will reach over 100 million, maybe even 150 million.

People here who are saying there's lot better options in the market. There really isn't for Apple users. Tight integration with iOS is big part of their success. Also their call quality is superior to any other wireless earphones. You can't really tell the difference if you call with AirPods or phone.

    Wow, the disposable earphone market sure is getting traction these days.

          Apple is the best at removing features and sold the solution.

            SizN80, 15 Jan 2020Excellent performance by Apple, they make the best ones so ... moreI know you're a baiting troll, but how can you ignore the ones that literally have better sound quality, active noise cancellation and longer battery life *thinking emoji*

                      I bought Shanling MTW100 and I love them.
                      I recommend $60-100 good brand Chinese TWS than any popular sh** (like Apple, Huawei, Samsung, Realme TWS).

                            Well, this is actually true, so many m.'s i have seen last year on the streets with their "friends" walking with them but all having 2 oral-b toothbrush heads in their ears i have never seen before. Well i applaude apple for making people look even more m.'c then they already are. I smile everytime i see one... so i smiled quite often last year. I hope this year will come something even funnier.

                              Like most items Apple sells, Airpods are cheapo junk with the ugliest design ever conceived by mankind. Only their laptops are decent.

                                  And that's why, children, the headphone jack had to disappear, so that some companies Will milk more money from things we never needed before. Even a 15 pound classic headphones can match easily an 80 pound wireless pair.

                                    Beats is technically from apple too, so why not aggregate them the same way as Huawei-Honor?

                                      That was to be expected..

                                      Although there are many TWS options with better sound quality, battery life and features, people still prefer buying Apple in order to show off their apple product.

                                      But yeah, I agree.. having an Airpods makes more sense to those who are already using Apple products.

                                      Unfortunately, I have seen people using Airpods just to show off even when there phones are either Android or mid-range..

                                        If you want to look at the best TWS earbuds in existence, go check Anker Liberty 2 Pro. Those cost around Airpods Pro 2 and are almost 2x better.
