 AirPods is too easy to lose, and the New York subway wants to post an announcement saying that you should not use it when you are riding a car.

 The advent of wireless headphones has liberated people's imagination that the headphones must be dragged by a line. Modern wireless headphones can be quite light and easy to wear even under the technology blessing.  We all know that Apple has made a lot of money in addition to selling music, and accessories such as peripheral accessories are also a big source of money.  Among them, the recent AirPods wireless headset is one of Apple's best-selling products.  Many people may not only get rid of the entanglement of the headphone cable, but because they see this little thing popping up, they will buy the novelty gadgets one by one.  However, lightweight wearable products always have a troublesome shortcoming, which is easy to lose.  New York Subway Recently, because of the large number of passengers using AirPods headphones on the platform and in the car, many people have lost the problem because they don't see the headphones loose.  There are many losers who even risked picking up because the headphones fell on the railway.  In this regard, the New York subway even hopes that everyone will not wear AirPods headphones on the platform and in the train, so as to avoid the price of a little expensive novelty products become plastic garbage on the rails:

 Apple has started from the recent generations of smart devices, step by step to remove the 3.5mm headphone hole that blocks the way, I hope you can use the Lightning interface headphones or wireless headphones to listen to songs.  To this end, not only the officially launched Lightning interface headset is included in the mobile phone, but also the AirPods such a novel and interesting small earphone for everyone to buy.  AirPods later set off a global wave of popularity. Many people bought it and used it with the iPhone. Therefore, if the 3C product with the highest loss rate is now, it may not be a mobile phone watch, but AirPods is the leader.  After all, how well it is designed, but the contact with the body is only at the ear, and it is really hard to feel at ease.

 Recently, the New York subway has also said something.  Since the AirPods became popular, they have been smashing AirPods wireless headphones across the station.  Even the railroad tracks saw many white plastic fragments and the lucky AirPods that escaped.  These phenomena show that this little thing is not only an exception to let people wear it, but even if it falls, it may not be possible to find it.  If you find it and find it is lying on the railway, when the tram is about to enter the station, should it be hard to catch the tram for this gadget, or simply buy another group:

 This phenomenon is obviously not the first time it happened.  But for the New York subway that serves the public, this situation is obviously more than a bit of a sign.  Therefore, some people have become land-based fishermen in order to save their own baby who bought them with hard-earned money.  The more exotic the headphones are, the more people there are.  Their fishing rods are usually a special long-handle tool with a magnet on the top that can save any little things that contain metal.  Whether it's a key or a headset, these home-style modifications come in handy as long as things fall off.  As long as the headset is not too bad, send it back to the Apple store or have a chance to recess a new one.  This is more meaningful than throwing money into the puddle in vain.  These modifications are not only used by ordinary people, but even the staff of the subway will use this kind of thing to clean up the debris on the railway.  That's why AirPods' loss is much smaller than other things:

 Perhaps because of the amount of garbage... cough, 3C products are too often found in the list of lost and found, and it is easy to find the headphones that are dropped on the rails, so that the subway personnel are bothered, every time a passenger asks for help to pick up and drop.  The headset, the staff will replace the passengers on the rails to retrieve the dropped items.  When the frequency is high, it naturally becomes a daily business that is a little troubled.  In general, even if you lose a headset, it is not a small loss.  Consumers will have to spend some money if they want to go back and buy one.  So the New York subway simply considers asking passengers to collect their AirPods, not to use them on the subway, wear them, etc., which may cause the baby's headphones to be lost.  After all, manpower is limited. If you have to take a few headsets every day, it is a big test for the service quality and safety of the subway.

 However, the biggest key is still the design problem that AirPods is more likely to be lost than imagined. Many people know that AirPods' sales are good for Apple. Some analysts estimate that Apple should sell 50 million AirPods this year.  However, how much is because consumers lost their original headphones to buy new ones, it is really an interesting question.
