Ten dollars for headphones? United States Dollars? Who are you, Bill Gates?!
Personally; I steal a bit of copper wire from whoever had the misfortune of parking outside my box, I mean, house, then wire it up to a couple styrofoam cups I dig out of the garbage can down on the corner. With how compressed MP3s are, I doubt anyone could tell the difference. I can't imagine why anyone buys headphones, really.
Then again... Airpods & Airpods Pro are reported by many sources to be the best selling headphones of 2021... but I'm sure, in aggregate, all those wish.com $10 cans outnumber their sales... and let's also, you know, not consider the more fair comparison of aggregating Alexa Buds, Sony XM4s, Bose Buds, Surface Buds, Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds Live, Pixel Buds, Beats Buds... If there's a reason why every company and their mother churns out Beans like they're going out of style, it probably isn't because they're, uh, selling. They're all Premium Brands making Premium Products for Select Clientele.
If you don’t think $129 for earphones is an expensive luxury for the average person, you are in a bubble. Apple offers payment plans for them because people can’t afford to drop that much cash in one go.
