I feel Apple ought to launch new EarPods with higher sound high quality

AirPods are nice, however are you aware what’s very fashionable? Apple’s wired EarPods – and so they’re manner cheaper than the wi-fi counterpart. With a well-established AirPods line (Apple at present sells 4 totally different fashions), the corporate appears to have forgotten concerning the good previous wired days.

Though Apple focuses on a wi-fi future, there’s nonetheless room for wired headphones – even when the corporate doesn’t plan to ship Lossless high quality. In a great world, the corporate would improve the scale of the EarPods audio system extra intently to the AirPods 3 and add a customized chip to deliver, at the least, Dolby Atmos with Spatial Audio performance.

Whereas the final replace to EarPods was Lightning assist, 2023 may very well be the 12 months we see one other revamp because the iPhone is ready to change to USB-C. As rumors and analysts give it for positive, a USB-C EarPods would make sense – and the product would additionally work with the Mac and a number of other iPad fashions.

Not solely that, but when Apple plans to enhance this product only a bit, it might cost greater than $20 and nonetheless revenue with out cannibalizing a future AirPods Lite mannequin – which can probably price round $99.

Though I’m nonetheless very a lot in love with AirPods, having EarPods generally simply makes issues simpler. I can concentrate on my environment whereas listening to a tune, it’s simpler to show the amount up or down, and so they’re manner higher when speaking about mic capabilities – that is why there are tens of millions of TikToks of individuals holding the EarPods microphone near their mouth as an alternative of sporting AirPods.

Just a few years in the past, The Wall Road Journal wrote an article about this product’s retro vibes and that each one the “cool children” have been sporting them once more. Apparently sufficient, whereas the article was printed throughout the pandemic, it nonetheless holds true virtually three years later.

I do know EarPods don’t ship the sound high quality most customers at the moment are acquainted with AirPods, however I really feel this can be a product that Apple ought to give one other shot. For instance, the corporate spent years and not using a new exterior monitor, after which it launched 2019 the Professional Show XDR and 2022 the Studio Show – and now it has dropped at life a market Apple uncared for for years. Who is aware of EarPods are the subsequent in line.
