This is an update to a post I wrote 18 months ago, when this e-mail list was much smaller.Other stuff this week: Apple’s Wearables business (AirPods, Watch etc.) sold $41B in 2022, which is in the ballpark of sales for companies like Volvo ($49B) and Nike ($51B). It is obviously hard to treat these businesses as standalone (to wit: you can’t pair Apple Watch with an Android phone) and there are broader regulatory concerns.

So that’s what we did. The Verge hit the streets of New York City with a bunch of noise-canceling headphones, from the original Bose QC1 to the Apple AirPods Max, the Bose Noise Cancelling 700, the Bose QuietComfort 45, and the Sony WH-1000XM5 — not to mention a pair of $1,300 aviation headphones — to see how they compare and to see how far ANC has come in the past 23 years. To do this, we rented a Neumann KU 100 dummy head microphone to replicate what you would actually hear while wearing them with active noise cancellation on. You can watch how that turned out in the video below.

His response: "Absolutely." "College is not for everyone," he says. "It's just sort of the traditional approach around what you do and what you're supposed to do." Continued here
