Green is ok, blue looks best imo
They will buy green ones as a punishment to rich naughty kids.
People who like green
(rich) tree-huggers
Granny Smith.
Negging due to price extortion of these Apple Cans which have been reviewed to be worse than $300-400 Sony's or Bose. Even at $100 off RRP these are a rip-off. No offense to OP though
F
+1 from me bro
Couldn't agree more with you but obviously the apple fan boys and girls will do anything to be 2 kool 4 skool.
Glad I'm not the only one. The apple fanboys and girls had me down at 25 downvotes before you guys came along
Well I would have downvoted you but you didn't actually neg.
Personal opinions are not a valid reason to neg a deal, I'd downvote you only for that cause it's a shitty thing to do.
@eagerfisherman: I think they negged, but the Apple fanboy counter-negs removed the neg before we brought them back up to positive,
We call them. Lemmings in retail or woodducks.
Beats déjà vu.
My denon headphones would knock these for six!
And they were cheaper.
TBF they are comparable to the Bose and Sonys, with some reviews a bit better and some reviews about the same for sound and ANC.
Where they are a bad deal is price, the lame pouch, and price.
But MKBHD told me they were great :(
Yeah but he scoffs at the price, which is totally fair. The units themselves appear to be pretty damned good
Any chance you could link those reviews?
Sorry, but these win the 2020 headphone design FUGLY awards! Most Apple stuff looks great, but IMO these look cheap and nasty.
And that stupid pouch (it's not a case) which doesn't even protect them properly and the only way to switch them off is it put them in the pouch, what a total design failure.
No physical aux in for professional editors, fail (and at this price point, this is professional headphone pricing). Even the Surface Headphones have Aux in.
Good luck with these Apple, only hardcore fans will buy them.
A few notes from a decent review:
99% of headphones on the market use the “yoke” design (looks like chicken wishbone) to hold & allow adjustment of the cups.
Apple always claims “innovation” so of course they had to use their own design instead of using the traditional “yoke” design.Also a problem is when they fold flat, the edges of fancy aluminium cups bangs into each other allowing them to damage each other.
I guess folding inwards like some other headphones looks “too messy” for a Apple product, even though it would be a solution to stop the aluminium cups from hitting each other.
"You're
hfolding it wrong."
The blue ones look tight. But price is just stupid in comparison to Sony xm4…
But they do look tight 😎
Hope the XM5 come in some new colors, I'd be down for dark blue or red
NiceCatch! Not gonna buy
Only idiots will be paying this much for headphones.
Nah, there are plenty of more premium headphones, they're not made by Apple, Samsung, etc. Sony make a few decent options, quite different to the Bluetooth xm options.
Focal have some very popular models, but I a world of wired you need to consider dacs and Amps.
Those are a very different product for a very different consumer.
You're letting your ignorance of audio products show..
There are plenty of headphones worth this price, or even $1000's more. These unfortunately are just not one of them..
You're letting your ignorance of audio products show..
Yes but this is the market they are targeting.
For average person these are the most expensive / desirable headphones they have ever seen.I learned through a ozb comment about the Sennheiser HE1’s.
Think even many ‘expensive headphone’ audio people are only finding out the HE1 exists.Definitely not.
There's nothing wrong with $800 headphones.
$800 headphones without a headphone jack, though…
I see that as a problem.Apologies, I missed the key word……'Apple' headphones.
These are overpriced sure, but you CAN get an adaptor to make them wired.
You shouldn't have to, though. When I had my Pixel 2, it was a massive PITA needing an adapter for 3.5mm audio. I had three of them but never had one on me when I needed it.
I'd buy name brand headphones for $800, but not Apple. Beats are crap compared to more reputable brands like denon, jbl, audio technica, Sony who have yeasts of experience in this field.
That's why Sony has risen to the top.
Guess I'm a double idiot according to your price:idiot scale
Come on guys…. who will be the first person say: grabbed one, thanks OP.
Didnt grab one, Thanks OP.
Grabbed OP, thanks… wait a minute…
Thanks, OP, you reminded me only stupid people would buy these second rate headphones with so many flaws for cans at this price.
For the same price you could buy 3 pairs of AirPods Pros when they are on sale… just saying.
You still only have 1 pair of ears though
Good point, buy one pair of Airpods and wear them inside XM4s
Sometimes I wear my XM3s and Aeropex at the same time.
It's for when 1 falls out you have a spare
Or a reportable namebrand.
It happened again!
Haha. Please leave some stocks for other users. Cheers.
this or ps5 hmmmmmmmm, I think I know where my money is going
this?
Mac pro wheels for sure
Pfft, Pro Display stand
Two Nintendo Switch
Right back into my bank account.
Ps5.
PS5 (or Xbox One X), a no brainer lol
The blue is OOS for me
I'm sure there will be some apple fans who will buy Apple's underwear, if they release some in the future, despite the high price
Apple Car .. coming in 2024 .. priced at $499,000
Only charges via lightning
Doesn't Come with charger
powered by SUN
They are working on it since 2014, BUT the car industry is overregulated & not compatible with Apple proprietary walled garden.
They cannot even enable ECG for the Apple watch in Australia in >2years because of strict regulation.It will only use Apple maps and won't take you anywhere unless Tim Cook allows you to go there.
But then you just end up in the bay anyway.Only get refueled from Apple charging stations or if you are with Apple electricity company.
Imagine male apple's male underwear connected to female underwear via bluetooth…
Who will pay for children expenses???I also heard apple is developing iCondoms
It is already an underwear bra. Just look at the case…
For some reason I thought of a certain scene in The IT Crowd when Douglas is given a phone with super maximum vibration setting.
Saving up for the apple car
I'm saving up to get a regular car that comes with apple car play
You have 250k for a car that drives at 40kmph , and won't start unless you have an Apple approved stackhat on?
Lol at the name. Airpods MAX.
Otherwise known as HEADPHONES
Airpods MAX(imum disappointment)
More like MAX(imum profits)
I don’t understand people who say ‘Only idiots pay this much’ bla bla bla. Why buy a Mercedes when a Toyota can still take you to the same location? It’s just what people value and wish to spend their money on. To each their own. Stop bashing other peoples’ choices on how they wish to spend their money, and keep your money in your pocket if you’d prefer. Easy!
So accurate. Regardless of their opinion 11% off is still a deal even though they think its RRP is "overpriced".
It's Ozbargain and a comments section. You can agree or disagree and just because you don't understand doesn't mean it's invalid.
My opinion is certainly similar and based on the value of the product and it's components/function. I love bargains and making the money stretch so I don't value branding as a more practical type of person..I'm guessing that's why your seeing this opinion.
Apple is not a premium brand. Its like buying a Skoda and paying Mercedes prices. Bower & Wilkins or Bang & Olufens is the premium brand in this category.
Yeh or like buying a Toyota and paying Mercedes prices, back to the original example.
Exactly right.
Then compare and come back with something substantial rather than just a biased opinion.
And even though the AirPods Max are undeniably beautiful and deliver a fantastic user experience, it’s hard to justify a $150 to $200 price bump over their most worthy competition.
undeniably beautiful and deliver a fantastic user experience
Uhh … so, they're good, yeah? They deliver? A user who can afford these will be pleased with their purchase?
@ThithLord: Probably, if they can justify a $150 to $200 price bump over their most worthy competition.
@McFly: lol, cool, so you agree. I'd say majority of people buying these can justify the price and can afford the very steep price. So it's settled.
It shows how many pathetic are in here. Honestly, in all apple related posts they are always present. That’s how affected they are. Just keep flexing your boring android boys. Obviously apple fans don’t care.
I love Apple products. Have an Iphone, ipad and 2 apple tvs, even have airpods. But this is a genuine waste of money. The equivalent Bose or Sony XM4 for half the price are simply better products.
Besides price, what makes them better? They aren't even the best at playing music. Take away the ANC and they are nothing.
I would say comparable. They win on the case and price.
Android doesn't make headphones fyi, people pulling apart this deal are probably the 'tried literally anything else' group
Samsung own harman kardon, which owns jbl amd many other brands that are more reputably than apple.
And they all bleat the same unoriginal Apple-haterisms. Like the sheep they call Apple users, lmao
Who would want green lol
