It was a single headset, designed for work rather than entertainment, and yet it failed.
With this headset, users can attach it to one ear and it acts like a call assistant without having to keep their eyes glued to the phone screen.
The idea is not bad overall, however, it has not been as successful as expected.
Apple's first headphones were released nearly 20 years ago.
Apple's first headphones were released nearly 20 years ago.
Despite being nearly 17 years old, the concept and design of the headphones were great, especially since it showed how advanced Apple was at the time.
At that time, people were not used to using wireless headphones, so Apple's device ahead of its time did not attract much attention.
Moreover, it was not only a product that purchased, but also very little was known about.
The functionality of that model was very basic. Users could call someone without having to pick up their iPhone, reminiscent of something very similar to AirPods today.
The difference was that AirPods had a pair of earbuds, whereas Apple's previous headphones only had a single earbud because, as mentioned, they weren't designed for listening to music, but for work.
It was so ahead of its time that, despite being nearly 20 years old, it still functions very much the same today. The headphones had a battery life of around 5 hours and started at $129, which would be a reasonable price today, but at the time, the value of money was much higher (so it can't be converted to Vietnamese Dong like today). What’s interesting about Apple’s first headphones is that they came in all black, something the company has yet to revive on AirPods or Beats models.
Users can buy the headset as a used product.

It’s hard to find Apple’s first-generation headphones in new condition right now, though there are plenty of people willing to sell them used, and of course for a lot more than the original price. However, in a few years, these headphones will become rarer, meaning their value could increase.
