Reply to comment by AffordableTimeTravel in Nothing hikes price of Ear 1 earbuds by 50 percent - The $99 earbuds will soon cost $149 by speckz

Airpods Pro costs more?

I'm not here to tell Nothing how to run their business, if they lose sales that's on them, I don't really care. Maybe for their customer base, the Nothing name brand is strong enough to justify the premium.

I'm just talking from the perspective of a consumer who has seen the reviews and has a basic idea of the specs, I disagree with people who think at $99 this was a bad deal

I know they cost more but my point is that I’m buying from companies that are well established in the realm of production and innovation. So you typically get what you pay for.

‘Nothing’ is well known for their unique design aesthetic but not much more, and unfortunately for your average consumer aesthetic is not always enough to rationalize a high price tag.

Warranties, name recognition, and public opinion are more important, and Nothing doesn’t compete in that realm as compared to Apple or Google, so they get to charge higher prices.

Sure, I'm just not sure how that's relevant to discussing if Nothing earbuds are worth $99. Apple doesn't sell $99 earbuds, the Pixel Buds A don't compete with Nothing's feature set.

Okay in that case then maybe It’s just an opinion of mine. Not really sure how to move this dialogue forward anymore.
