It was definitely in the upper range of prices for over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones, not like this even matters, because people just _did not_ pay $500+ for headphones before the Maxes dropped.

are you sure? why do you think this?
I think they’re saying that apple is selling $500 headphones to people who would otherwise not buy $500 headphones
Just wanted to piggyback on this. I was just commenting today to my coworker on the number of people I see walking around Manhattan/Brooklyn with AirPods Maxes on. I swear I see at least a pair or two every other minute while walking down the street.
Most of these people, like you said, we’re likely not blowing $500+ on headphones before Apple made that concept mainstream.

They're also selling much worse headphones than what an audiophile would buy for $500+, but trendier.
some people obviously did pay $500+ for headphones. We don’t know how many sets has Apple actually sold…
