What is your point? MacDonalds make the best hamburgers because they sell so many of them? Windows is the best OS because billions of people use it?

>Do your "solved problem" bluetooth headphones allow EASY audio sharing when the kid is sleeping and you want to watch something with your wife? These are two bluetooth devices on same audio stream.

So in your mind, 'solving' a problem is buying not one, but TWO $500 headphones instead of $10 earbuds and a $5 Y connector? Oh wait, you also believe that the headphone jack is stupid. Yeah, sure, sell people a $1000 solution for a problem you created. Great job!

>It's amazing to me how many folks seem to have no clue about what folks value in the apple ecosystem.

I'm not a fan of Gucci products either. ;)



The headphone jack that all of the other mobile manufacturers are dropping too? Putting its removal at Apple's feet alone is a bit disingenious when it was the obvious direction for smartphones. Eventually one of the manufacturers was going to be "brave" and the rest would follow. Also, a long trailing cable from your TV / accessories across your living room to a y-connector to two more long trailing cables to two headsets is incredibly inelegant and for some houses, an impractical solution. Having wireless headphones that support a Bluetooth standard (because no two implementations are the same) that allows multiple speakers for a single source, is very nice.
