AirPods Max Ear Cushions Attach Magnetically, Replacement Cushions 'Coming Soon' for $69

[neuropsychguy]

Thats 1/3 of a IKEA Couch. Nuts

Apple Acts like they Are Hermes when it comes to their accessories

But it's only 0.02% of the median home price in the U.S. Quite a bargain!

I think I’ll do one of these, please. Thank you very much!

yea they should let you choose the band and choose the cushions 🙂 would be nice

The fact that they’re so easily replaceable doesn’t give me much confidence in how they’ll hold up over time.

No, you come to this all wrong. This thing MUST be replaceable otherwise you’ll end up with bad headphone like me with Bose QC.

Would not surprise me if it comes out that you only get one cushion not a pair for $69.

Apple store app states it’s a pair for that price.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

OK, that's dope. Magnetic connection? Apple is going all-in with magnets.

And I like it (except for the iPhone and to a lesser degree the loss of the real MagSafe).

 

[BeatCrazy]

Nice! Wish they would have made this more clear during the order/info process. I cancelled a Silver set specifically because I feared the white pads would look bad after a while. I re-ordered Space Gray. Which will looking pretty cool with red pads!

 

[bobmans]

Lol no that's for the AirPods Max 2 with cellular

You’re joking now but this is probably going to happen within the next 5 years.

Magnets. Like all luxury brands do.

Did some googling seems like these ear cups use polyester, shame. Once I walked into a high end store and asked if something was polyester, since I am allergic, and they said we don't use any synthetic materials. If we are to believe apple is high end it's a bit disappointing.

If these are so easily replaceable 3rd party options would pop up pretty quickly with leather or other materials. There is never a shortage of all kinds of accessories for any Apple product it seems.

The name is cushions plural, so it will mostly likely be a pair.

 

[maxfromdenmark]

I’m just wondering if magnets will hold cushions as efficiently like MagSafe holds the leather wallet on an iPhone’s back? 🤔🤔🤔

 

[Zwhaler]

Attach magnetically??? Wow! Still think they are overpriced, complainers???

You know magnets only cost around 50c

 

[Neepman]

Where is Product Red?

Agreed. It seems the obvious products apple could sell a boatload of in the RED line (iPads, all phones, a macbook air etc.) to those virtue signalers with cash to burn, they don't do. Tells me the last thing they want to do is turn over cash to charities.

 

[twocents]

$69?

They could've really attracted all the Millenials/Gen-Z by pricing the actual headphones at $420 too.

I appreciate you and your comment as I nevertheless recover from half choking on my morning brew. Good day sir!

 

[gomichaelgo]

Bruh, if you don’t have plenty of those you aren’t ready. You work your way up to these cans. Start at the bottom.

The only time I would have a problem with no charger included is if you can't charge with existing cables and charges, which the iphone, and this can do. I am so confused why people are upset. If you want to take advantage of quick charging, then yes you can buy the charger, but everyone has the chargers and cables already.

Nice

 

[Neepman]

It’s fair to say Jony Ive has most certainly left the building. These are ugly as!

That Red cushion makes me think of an Edsel or... some other thing I cant mention here.

 

[Pagemakers]

Looks rude to me 🤣

 

[anthonymoody]

Man oh man. Now you're over $600 to get the color combo you want if you want to mix it up.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

This is not bad. At least they priced it below $1000. 😎

No $999 is what the stand will cost.

 

[zombierunner]

No 69 jokes?

 

[LeadingHeat]

Nice! Wish they would have made this more clear during the order/info process. I cancelled a Silver set specifically because I feared the white pads would look bad after a while. I re-ordered Space Gray. Which will looking pretty cool with red pads!

Correction. It will look REALLY cool. 😉

$69 for a set of replacement ear pads is not cheap but compared to some other headphones (costing somewhat more than the AirPods Max), it's not outrageous, e.g. $149 for replacement ear pads (which also attach magnetically) for Meze Empyrean headphones:

Empyrean Ear pads

Outer dimensions: 24 mm height x 95 mm width x 35 mm depth ±1mm Inner dimensions: 75 mm height x 45 mm width ±1mm THE PRODUCT IS SOLD AS A PAIR.

Necessary for 0.5k headphones. Some of the first things to die.

 

[BeatCrazy]

Correction. It will look REALLY cool. 😉

The more I think about it.. the more I think Space Gray with the blue pads would be the perfect combo. Can you mock that up, or point me to where you got that image?
