They largely don’t rely on influencers/hype, put lots of thought into initial R&D, release (mostly) mature product, and hold on to their models for many years, even when their own assortment is overlapping with newer models. Most “brand manufacturers” have a different approach. An example is the Moondrop Crescent…it likely had to give way for more expensive models.Īs a result of all this, consumers tend to buy the “latest and greatest”, which may end up in a drawer after a relatively short time, in order to be replaced by the next generation. And sometimes, the life of a worthy popular product (and therefore the associated hype) is cut short by the manufacturer itself, simply by taking it off the market prematurely. On the positive side, it stimulates progress, but at the cost of the customer. This shows that companies throw product on the market prematurely, which destroys “consumer confidence” in the long run. Who feels comfortable when a company releases a “Pro” version two months after having spent $200 on the latest “super hybrid” – and this over and over again. While this was somewhat interesting at the low end (almost everybody could and did afford the mass of KZ models at the time…until most of us got tired of it), it becomes problematic in the higher-price regions. Many manufacturers (and distributors/sellers) feed influencers for quick sales of large quantities of sometimes not so great product, and they keep the momentum going by flooding the market with new models in short succession (“shingling”). Promoted largely (but not only) by influencers, most are hot today and forgotten tomorrow. In India, the sales will be through Flipkart at 12:00PM IST.Budget to mid-tier Chi-Fi iems typically don’t have a long shelf live in our world of hype. Open sales for the ear (1) black edition will start December 13. Stock will be limited and available on a first come first serve basis.

Nothing would need to offset this cost through other measures to achieve neutrality, which they do by purchasing international renewable energy certificates (REC). The company now also prints the carbon footprint of each ear (1) on the box, which in this case is 1.78kg CO2e. Nothing has also revealed that the ear (1) is now carbon neutral. The charging case has also been updated to feature the same matte black finish on the previously white painted elements, with other parts such as the hinge and pairing button also colored to match.Īside from the color, the black edition is functionally identical to the standard edition, which has sold 220,000 units since it went on sale earlier this year. The new black edition of the ear (1) features a smoky matte black finish for the earbuds along with the usual transparent elements of the standard model. The company also announced that the product is now carbon neutral and can be purchased using crypto currency. Nothing today announced a new all-black edition of the ear (1) truly wireless earbuds.
