They sell Beats, no?

That should tell you everything you need to know about whether they care about audio quality.

Hint: They don't. Obviously Apple doesn't want to make audio complete garbage, but any audio quality you get from Apple is a secondary consideration to pretty much any other criteria--design, form factor, fashion, etc.

LG sell fridges, that should tell you everything you need to know about whether they care about audio quality.

I gave you an example of an Apple product with known garbage audio quality.

And you compared it to a refrigerator.

Sorry. My brain is clearly insufficient to understand your hyper-advanced reasoning.

My fridge has garbage audio quality. It’s made by LG. Therefore LG doesn’t care about audio quality.

It’s not hard to understand. It’s your argument after all.

I would actually counter that with the fact that a fridge has audio at all, already places it ahead of most products it its category in terms of audio quality.

On the other hand maybe silence is superior.

I think my point was that a fridge is as much targeted towards audiophiles as Beats headphones are. Maybe a microwave would have been a better example.

What are you talking about.

If anything, if you have such disdain for Beats, you should applaud Apple, since they killed the product.

Apple acquihired Beats to build Apple Music with the industry connections, and since then, Dr. Dre left the company to do whatever, and they have completely neglected Beats as a brand for headphones.

Now it's in some weird place where the AirPods are the premium brand and Beats are this weird, budget athleisure brand that they never advertise and will probably kill soon.

They sell Beats? What? It’s like judging McDonalds from a vegan burger made by Beyond Meat. You should try a stereo paired homepods and then judge Apple sound quality..... Hint: it’s very good.
