Honestly though.... anything that doesn't require MAX VOLUME while outside is an upgrade over the current #AirPods. pic.twitter.com/Gv2bg9VTpV
A user compared the earphones to a popular cartoon character, Pingu's beak whereas someone else stated that Mario had the same set of earphones.
Former Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, cracked a joke wherein he stated that the world's richest people are the AirPod users followed by Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos and Microsoft founder, Bill Gates.
Ridiculed for the design and the size
When the Apple AirPods were introduced back in 2016, they were ridiculed for the design and the size. A few people said that streets would be littered with these lost earphones and would seem as if discarded gloves and socks worn by newborns. Also,
Apple struggled to convince people that the AirPods was a really good option as jokes about the pods being compared to toothbrushes dangling from people's ears started doing the rounds.
The price tag of $249
The AirPods Pro has been released with a price tag of $249 with an adaptive EQ for an improved sound quality to customize the low and mid frequencies based on the shape of a users' ear. With the feature of wireless charging, the AirPods will come along with an IPX4 water and sweat resistance feature.
