How do they come up with the most confusing naming schemes on the planet? You would think that making it easy to identify which product is which would boost sales, or someone at least has the sanity to make it easy to understand.

(i.e. CPUs, laptop processors, USB standard, most smartphones, monitors, anything made by Sony that’s not a Playstation…)

    Sony audio products are terrible about this. Earbuds with names like WF-1000XM5, like how am I supposed to shop for that?

      and it’s not even consistent: the WF-CH700N doesn’t get an “M2”, the second version is called the “WF-CH710N”. Also, what does the “CH” stand for? cheap?
