Apple AirPods, wireless earbuds with sleek minimalist design that gained popularity through celebrity visibility and social proof within the Apple ecosystem.

AirPods are Apple’s line of wireless earbuds. Their sleek design makes them stand out when worn around, and a large part of their popularity is due to Cialdini’s theories of social proof and liking: because a lot of other people (and celebrities) are seen wearing AirPods, it plants the idea in people’s minds that maybe they should invest in them as well. Since a lot of people also own other Apple products (e.g. Macs, iPhones), having AirPods (instead of earbuds from a different brand) is a consistent behavior that feels natural.
