Apple's Premium Headphones Inch Closer to Launch
Investors have been hearing rumors of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) working on premium over-ear headphones for more than two years. During that time, the company has dramatically expanded its portfolio of wearable audio gadgets ("hearables"), which have become one of Apple's fastest-growing businesses. Last year was particularly momentous for hearables, as the broader wearables market rapidly shifted toward that product category: Total unit volumes nearly doubled to 336.7 million, according to market researcher IDC.
