Rivalling offerings from Sony, Sennheiser and Dolby, Apple's headphones include wireless pairing and noise cancellation, and is among the most expensive in the market.
The first Apple-branded over-ear headphones could be announced as early as this year, and the company has also been working on a smaller version of its HomePod smart speaker.
In 2021, the government allowed telcos to convert interest on deferred spectrum payments and AGR dues into equity. This made it the single largest stakeholder in Vodafone Idea.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
I think it will be hard to justify this $550 to listen to streaming music content and movies. Granted maybe a few Apple fan professionals who edit video and buy into this price tag as being the ultimate quality will purchase them. In a pandemic I don’t see this as a product for people who work at home or have jobs that couldn’t possibly afford headphones at this price. I mean at some point you see less and less benefit from audio quality when you consider the sources most listen too and the devices which don’t always have great D/A converters. Then there’s the fact Bluetooth is getting better but its still not great.
I find it hard to see where the costs play into this price given that Bose and Sony offer good and proven products for much less. Can Apple truly demand such a price in a market full of really good quality less pricy alternative? Well there are a lot of elitist Apple people who don’t see the price tag as a turn off.
Me, I value a more realistic approach in terms of buying audio products. Don’t spend too much if the source isn’t worth it.
