Key Insights
Key Takeaway
Apple and Beats each appear in 9 of 12 answers (75%), but no brand wins first place across the four services: Sony, Apple, Bose and Beats each lead one explicit ranking. Four P3 cells supply ranks; the other eight cells contribute only mention frequency. Claude P1 is a zero-brand clarification response. Interpret the malformed Gemini P2 and the October 11–12 collection window as documented limitations.
Top Brands Summary
Across all 12 eligible response cells: Apple 9, Beats 9; Bose, Sony and Soundcore 6 each; EarFun, Jabra and Samsung 3 each; Google 2; Nothing, Sennheiser and Shokz 1 each. Total: 50 distinct brand-cell mentions across 12 brands. Claude P1 contributes zero mentions and remains in the denominator.
