Personally I won't pay that much for a headphone but for the price seems cheaper than you can find elsewhere.
Only silver, pink and green available.

That is Apple
The prices of Apple products are getting out of control with each passing day. F Apple
Or a superior Sony WH-1000XM4 for half the price…
These should be called the Monster Audio 24K Gold-Plated UltraHD 79Ghz Wireless Bluetooth 9.0 Headphones with Dolby Cosmos 41.28 Channel Surround Sound as Apple have clearly decided to follow in the footsteps of Monster Cable with their retardedly overpriced consumer electronics justified by pseudo-scientific Voodoo.
Imagine a WH-1000XM4 without any plastic in it's construction…
Imagine a WH-1000XM4 that doesn't come with a bra-shaped carrying case.
Plastic is superior for light-weight, comfort-oriented headphones that are designed to be worn on-the-go and/or for prolonged periods of time.
The aluminium in the AirPods Max does however aid in the formation of water condensation, so Apple can reject your warranty claims due to the tried-and-tested "iT's BeEn wAtEr DaMaGeD!!!1!1" excuse.
The condensation forms in other headphones too after long usage, its just that you don’t pop them to see. I agree airpods max are expensive but i think they will last much longer than any other competitors.
@Allaboutdiscounts: Then why hasn't it been reported as a well-known issue with virtually any other flagship ANC BT headphones like the Bose QC 35 IIs or Sony WH-1000XM3s/XM4s? I think someone would have noticed by now given how popular those headphones have been for years.
I've had the XM3s for 4 years now and worn them in all kinds of conditions (including a few times while I've been exercising) and I've never had any issues with condensation.
The Airpod Maxes seem to develop condensation just from normal use without any kind of contributing environmental factors (i.e. sitting in an air-conditioned office) which is probably due to the design and/or materials used.
In any case, the phrase "last much longer" and "Apple" is a contradiction in terms.
Heavy…
Stumbled upon these recently, some say they sound better than the XM4s.

Have you tried both because to my ear the ANC and sound quality - not to mention build - is better on the Apples.
These things look ridiculous AF.
Over priced , I think a lot of the high end audio equipment are all over priced.
Just name a few
If you think this is high end audio, your opinion on high end audio is probably not super insightful.
this is high end audio,
high price audio ≠ high end audio
Real question - what makes AirPods Max not high end audio gear? Is there any frequency clipping, unwanted bass enhancing, bad isolation?
First of all real audiophile headphones are wired.

@superforever: Of course! That's ticked - let's say I'm going to wire them up.
Is there anything else wrong with them?
@pizzaguy: Second Apple devices are not audiophile player.
You need Hi-Res player for real audiophile.
@superforever: Yeah, but we're talking the headphones, not what you're plugging them in to.
@superforever: What if you use them wired on an audiophile player?
@becku: 🤷🏼♀️
I think he didn't say this Apple is high end audio
Agree they're too expensive but they have positive reviews. Wouldn't mind trying them
They are good, but not $600 - $900 good.
I really want a pair, but the condensation reports put off.

The lack of a proper case too.
Correct, it does come with an Apple bra tho
Who ever designed the case has a mummy issue.
Waiting to get under 500.
So I can watch them going under 350.
Waiting for 99 flash sale.
No way Apple devices will gone down to that price.
