Transcript excerpt

You buying the product or are you buying the marketing? Earbud edition. Sony WF 1,000 XM five. You're buying the product and the most ridiculous naming convention I've ever heard. Imagine telling your friends, bro, check out my WF 1,000 XM fives. Does anyone work in brand over there? Better, you're buying the marketing. We know this. Nothing tier. You're buying the product. Winning the award for the coolest design by far. Like, it's not even really a competition because everyone else is so boring. Apple, you're buying a technology dinosaur. They're fine, but I have no faith that they'll continue to be. Anchor, you're probably buying the product. They're just so practical. Samsung, you're buying the marketing. They make other incredible products, but maybe pass on these. Technics, you're buying the product. Who knew a turntable company could make good earbuds? Jabra, I didn't realize they were still a thing, a one hit wonder. You're buying a relic of the past.
