Every single time I see a person with Airpods or other true wireless earphones, i cannot help but smile.

Because it is always nice to see other people clearly marked as guillable fools, who marvel at the emperors new clothes.

I hope this trend never dies, because it really does provide endless entertainment to me.

And I suspect Apple hopes this as well, because they are making a killing selling expensive shit to the same people over and over again.

Why so? They solve a problem, namely convenient tether-free but non-intrusive headphones, and Airpods are nearly unrivaled in implementation.
AirPods are the earpieces Agent Smith wears in the Matrix.
That sounds like such a sad place to be, in a one-sided 'relationship' with everyone else, letting their personal choices get under your skin. They don't even note your existence, and that must hurt.
I really quite like my wireless earbuds, you condescending prick. They're great for fitness, and I've not lost them once in the 3-4 years I've owned them.
