The popularity of AirPods, which has been released for two years, is still high.The airpods of 16,800 yen excluding tax will be sold out by the evening even on the Apple Store.The AirPods are sold only one ear in Mercari and other places.
メルカリで「AirPods 右」で検索してみたIt is not only Mercari that AirPods is "sold" for left ears, right ears, battery cases.Amazon.Child.Some JPs are eligible for Amazon prime.
Amazonで売られている片耳AirPodsThe price market is Mercari and the one ear is about 4000 yen to 7000 yen.On Amazon, the right ear is 7479 yen and the left ear is 7495 yen.
Apple offers one ear and battery case replacement.Nevertheless, why is it sold?
In the first place, AirPods is easy to lose.Many people complain that it is easy to come off because many people do not fit the shape of the ear.It is lost for a variety of reasons, such as being blown away by the wind, it was gone, dropped, stepped on, and flushed in the toilet.It is probably not effective even if you write sutras.
In the coming season, there are likely to be more opportunities to hook masks and mufflers, etc.If you drop it on a snowy road, it will be hard to find like a winter rich butterfly, so it is difficult to find it.
It is unlikely that both ears are lost at the same time.If you have one ear, you usually notice.
Then one ear AirPods is born.
When one ear is lost, you have the option of obtaining the other from somewhere or the rest in Mercari.
And the current situation is that in Mercari, even one ear is trading with a reasonable amount.
Apple publishes the price of one ear and case on the support page, and the price is not much different from the selling price in Mercari.7800 yen excluding tax with one ear.Why don't they buy from Apple?
AppleのAirPodsサポートページAirPods片耳の交換品は税別7800円だAccording to the Apple Support Page, if one ear is lost, it will be treated as a repaired repair, and it is necessary to bring one ear and case remaining in the Apple Service Provider, such as Apple Store, Quick Garage, Kitamura, Big Camera, etc.。At a directly managed store, only the parts cost, but otherwise, the technical fee is included, so for example, Kitamura costs 1822 yen due to one ear loss.In directly managed stores, there is a demand for battery replacement, and it is difficult to make a reservation.
One Mercari store openers explain that it is "conveniently convenient and convenient" to purchase stores, given time and transportation expenses.It may be true if you think that it will arrive in 1-2 days as early as possible.The same goes for Amazon's exhibition.
AirPods users can get the benefits of selling roses.
Rival products are not so.For example, Sony's full wireless earphones do not sell only one.It is explained that "the left and right headsets and charging cases are required to be connected only for repair, so we do not sell only one."If you lose one, you'll need to replace it.
On the other hand, AirPods can reset it by yourself if you have an alternative even if you eliminate one of them.This simplicity is due to W1 chips.
Full wireless earphones other than AirPods receive a Bluetooth audio signal from a smartphone with one (parent unit) and skip it to the other (a slave unit).On the other hand, AirPods sends left and right independent signals by W1 chip.This is not only advantageous because of the low level of sound and the lack of sound, but also the simplicity of pairing, and there is also the merit that can be used as a monaural Bluetooth earphone alone for each left and right.
これができるのは現在のところAirPodsだけ。最近になってようやくQualChildmmが右のイヤフォンと左のイヤフォンにそれぞれ信号を独立して送信する「TrueWireless Stereo Plus」を発表した。だがこれでも十分ではない。イヤフォン側が対応Bluetoothオーディオチップを搭載するだけでなく、Androidスマートフォン側にSnapdragon 845以上を搭載し、さらにオーディオ周りの対応を個別で行う必要がある。
In other words, even if the earphone is responded, the indoor smartphone is not ready and the ease of pairing as AirPods will not be available.
If there is something that can stop the winning of AirPods, it is likely that one theory will be "AirPods 2", which will appear in the first quarter of 2019.
