They're not doing so well in the market, it seems.

There are a ton of airpods alternatives for 1/4 of the price. I've recently tried Xiaomi's mi buds 3 and they are quite good for their price 30E. They work flawlessly with both iphone/macbook pro the only feature that's missing is the dynamic switching between devices.

      'but at least they (AirPods Pro) offer an in-ear fit'
      Didn't know in-ear fit is a premium feature for which Apple needs to ask more money.

Or any BT headphones/earphones for that matter. I've had highest end wired earbuds from Sennheiser and AKG as well as Philips and AirPods 2 sound so good I couldn't really tell them apart. People who pretend they could are full of s**t like people describing wine in poetic superlatives.

          It depends on which one fits better in the ear. And secondly, the price between airpods 2 and airpods 3 is not that big of a difference.

            Anonymous, 06 Apr 2022That's why they aren't good. Go for other brands.... moreSennheiser sold off its consumer products division last year to Sonova. We'll probably see some changes to "Sennheiser" branded products in the coming years.

              Wireless headphones are a very competitive market. I'm not surprised.

                I kinda doubt people realized how bad they sound.
                Maybe TWS market is simply way too saturated for any brand marketing to make some significant impact ... goood .... gooooood.

                      So every maker will surely go that path. No one cares for your ears.

                        Oh great, everyone jumping on the bandwagon of dumb silicone in-ear tips. I hate that crap and just like with wired earphones we soon won't have much choice than 300 billion variants of stupid silicone crap shoved into our ears. I don't even care about ANC at all.

                            They forgot to remove AirPod 2 from sales. So people rather get AirPod 2, else go directly for Airpod pro for anc.

                                Apple cutting orders for the SE 2022 too, right? Most buyers just went for the 12 and 13 Minis instead because there really isn't a huge gap in prices. SE 2020 was successful because there was no Mini model at the time.

                                  They're priced really close to the Beats fit pro as well, which is basically the airpods pro without stems. Unless you have very specific needs in regards to ear fit, the Beats fit pro has the better value proposition of the two.
