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

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.

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).

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!
You’re joking now but this is probably going to happen within the next 5 years.
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.
I’m just wondering if magnets will hold cushions as efficiently like MagSafe holds the leather wallet on an iPhone’s back? 🤔🤔🤔
You know magnets only cost around 50c
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.
I appreciate you and your comment as I nevertheless recover from half choking on my morning brew. Good day sir!
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.
That Red cushion makes me think of an Edsel or... some other thing I cant mention here.
No $999 is what the stand will cost.This is not bad. At least they priced it below $1000.
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.
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?Correction. It will look REALLY cool.
