What tom.cx says, it has to do with design.
Just before the mid-00s, everyone was walking with an iPod. The thing was not really special, but it was still somewhat affordable for parents to get for their offspring.
At the time I walked around with an Archos Jukebox Recorder 10 and made a splash with it. It looked like I could remote control a plane with it, but looked neat and robust. Something that the iPod was not, robust. Plus, I could record with it, the iPod couldn’t.
This is no different with the Razor buds. You can’t record with it. But it looks different, slick and certainly succeeded. Especially the green logo on semi-matte black, perfect combination. That’s with almost all of their products. Simple and minimalist yet eye-catching design combined with powerful specs.
I personally have nothing to do with earplugs. My ears are a bit bigger and the caps always fall out no matter how well I try to clamp them. This is no different with the Airpod. They certainly do not stay put. Unless you stuff them so far in your ear that it isn’t good for your ear in the end. I don’t know what the Razor pods are like. The price is high by the way. But luckily not interesting enough for me.
