Hi, everyone!

I want to buy the AirPods Max, but I’ve read so many comments about the condensation issue, is that still a thing?
 
Yes it's a thing. I haven't broken mine from it yet but they build up more condensation than any other headphone I have ever used, I'm talking actual beads of condensation.

How long have you had them for?

Since March 2022. If I’m in a cool environment and I’m stationary they’re mostly fine for under 4 hour sessions. If you’re in a warm environment or moving around enough to the point of making your ears warm even slightly then you will see beads of condensation when removing the ear pads.

I’ve had mine since early 2021, and I’ve seen some condensation now and then. Nothing’s ever gone wrong with them though, and I have had several closed back headphones with condensation before.
 
I've had mine for a week, 3 hours listening to music at my home and I can already see some droplets forming on the drivers.

It’s not condensation, it’s sweat, most headphones don’t let you remove the cups so you’d never know it was there.
 
It will happen to any model. I take breaks often so now doesn’t happen to me. If i dont take breaks, it will occur without fail
