Airpods Max button softness

[SBruv]

Hey all,

Very much enjoying the Airpods Max so far, but I've noticed that the ANC/Transparency button seems to be kind of 'soft' compared to similar buttons on iPhones, iPads, etc.

If I press it with at least moderate force, it always works fine. However, there's no real 'click' to it (just a smooth transition from 'out' to 'in', if you see what I mean), so if I press it gently, it doesn't actually activate it – I have to press slightly harder to make it switch mode.

Is anyone else getting this, or is my button possibly faulty?

Thanks!

I actually think the ANC button feels really good when pushed. My problem is with the dial for volume/pause-skip/siri. Its a little too sensitive. Everytime i touch the right cuff, I accidentally push or activate it.

My button is fairly soft as well. I was wondering if others’ button were firmer and more clicky.

Okay, but are you feeling what I’m describing?

I also like the fee of the button when used normally – I’m just a bit puzzled by the ability to press it gently and have it not respond.

Does yours do what mine does, though? Not responding when pressed very gently?

Noticing the same softness with my pair too. Did you ever resolve if this is normal?

I definitely noticed this on the new pair I tried this week. Even when I pressed the button past the tactile “break”, I had to always be conscious of whether that actually triggered the Noise Control. Honestly couldn’t rely on it.

This seems to be a pretty lame complaint. Can't you think of something better?
