In October last year, Apple launched the
third-generation TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headset, AirPods Pro, on the
official website for $ 249. This price is higher than the previous two
generations, but it has not hit consumer enthusiasm in the slightest. Earlier,
the two generations of TWS headphones released by Apple reversed the decline in
sales after the release of ordinary electronic products, and became absolute
benchmarks for the TWS headphones industry.
The TWS headset is not just a sound
transmission tool. Its more important role is an AI assistant based on voice
interaction technology. As a smart wearable device, the TWS headset is designed
to provide a better human-machine interaction experience. For consumers of TWS
headsets, the instant automatic connection can be achieved after the initial
setting, so a smooth user experience is more important than sound quality. This
can also provide some explanation for "why AirPods can produce
word-of-mouth effect and become Apple's fist product".
When Apple released the AirPods in 2016,
the TWS headset industry was still in its infancy, and that year global
shipments of TWS headsets were 9.18 million units. When time has come to 2019,
AirPods shipments exceeded 27 million units in the second quarter alone. In
2019, the global TWS headset shipments more than 100 million units, and the
market size more than 10 billion US dollars.
TWS
headphones are expected to become mainstream headphones in the upgrade
The previous two generations of AirPods did
not have noise reduction capabilities. The shortcomings in these areas caused
AirPods to lose part of the TWS headset market. The newly launched AirPods Pro
is a powerful weapon for Apple to regain the market. AirPods Pro's new active
noise reduction and improved sound quality will make Apple more competitive in
the TWS headset market, while the improvement on the chip will allow Siri to
provide more services to users, which will upgrade Apple users Machine
interaction experience.
To gain a larger TWS headset market, manufacturers
must improve their scientific research capabilities to meet growing consumer
demand. In terms of standby time, matching speed, applicable range, noise
reduction function, sound quality, and headset controllable content, improving
the matching speed, expanding the scope of application, increasing the headset
controllable content and noise reduction function will most significantly
improve consumers Use experience.
The more convenient the matching and the
more stable the connection, the wider the applicable scenarios of the TWS
headset, and it may become the preferred headset for consumers in the future.
Since its inception, the market value of TWS headsets has been soaring, and it
is expected to become the highest market value headset category in 2020.
