Steve Jobs felt compelled to make some bad decisions. Indeed he might have had failed on this one too.
But he did a lot of very good decisions, like seeing Tim Cook as the one to lift apple to new heights, which he did.

These look like they were designed to compete with all those other non-Apple buds out there. AirPods is king of the buds and in a category all by themselves. Now, Apple will use these beats to attempt to completely take over the market.
He most definitely said Apple was doing so in the next few years. Not that they were never going to use the brand name again going forward.
Beats: cheaper and more “fun”. Also keeps people in the ecosystem. They must be thinking “why not?”.
I think Apple’s number 1, Beats is number 2, Bose and Sony close behind, then everybody else. They likely won’t “take over” but is likely to “maintain” their position.
got wing tips for my airpods pro for this very reason, making them the best pair of earphones i’ve ever owned by far. Never fall out no matter what, gives me the peace of mind to never worry about it at all and it feels great.
I only see myself upgrading in 2024 or later, after my replacement APPs that I get on the last day of my applecare in 2022 start having battery issues.
The brand has value. It still outsells the rest of the industry. As long as that’s the case, it’s still valuable for them to keep the “b”
Does your case close completely without taking off the wing tips? If so, can you shoot me a link?
Every pair I've seen so far keeps the lid from completely closing.
What do you want from an update? I got a pair of PBP a couple of months ago and love them. Wouldn’t phase me in the slightest if a new set came out tomorrow.
There will always be new tech just get what you need when you need and live a happy life.
Why would they kill a brand that makes money?
Many android users don’t want to buy Apple products, many android users also don’t realise they’re buying Apple products.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple prices these just below the cost of AirPods Pro. Just enough to make you consider owning both.
Of course I do not expect these being lossless compatible, but I do hope they'll be spatial audio compatible.
When on my desktop I'll still go with my dac-decent cable-decent headphones setup, but I'd love something like this in mobility.
I'll watch these closely

I'm no expert at all but from what I'm reading on this forum, anything Bluetooth is not lossless audio compatible. Is that correct?
These look pretty cool!
I wonder if they'll have transparency / noise cancellation, or more regular AirPod feature set?
And I wonder if the pressure valve type of thing is still there, that is one thing nice about Pro and the PowerBeat Pro, you don't get that pressure built up in the ears.

Airpods, Airpods Max, Airpods Pro, Powerbeats, Urbeats, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio wireless 3, Beats Solo Pro, and now Beats Studio Buds? Apple has the best line of headphones. And yes that includes Bose.
