Since when in 2016 Apple launched the first model of bluetooth wireless earphones, the AirPods, the innovation of the product had to fight the idea of an object too light and small to be as valid, sturdy and long-living as regular earphones, the ones that made the revolution of portable music starting from the Walkman. Even with all the doubts Apple was promising absolute comfort and safety, and in the end managed to convince everyone that the innovation was worth the change.
When, right after the launch of the AirPods, they started to introduce the fist proposals of accessories that would prevent the losing of the little headphones, like the now famous chains from Tapper, the nonsense was so high that the products were not even taken in consideration. It was the confirm of a product too nice to be true, in other words a failure.
What they only realized later is that it wasn’t a failure they were talking about, but it was actually a new way of seeing the AirPods, a way that would still respect all the characteristics stated by Apple but that could even enhance an already valid product through accessories. And with accessories we are not talking only about the various covers for the case of the earphones but about a series of gadgets that could make the AirPods easier to find, more comfortable to wear in a frenetic day and for a distracted mind and most of all customizable, we’re talking about actual jewels, as beautiful as useful!
