Good price, unfortunate it is lightning though.

 

[Blackstick]

I just want an updated model that's lighter and USB-C.

AirPod Max 2.0???? Please dont be 500 dollars 🙏

 

[mikefj2004]

These headphones were released in December of 2020. They sound great but are definitely not worth $399. $250 at best.

Yeah right, this is apple we are talking about. I bought a pair and really wasn't all that impressed with them compared to other headphones I have. Next ones will probably be $500-600.

 

[DJC631]

Still $150 too expensive at that price. And with Lightning?? lol

 

[JTK Awesome]

I just want an updated model that's lighter and USB-C.

And with better aesthetics (Bose 700 looks more like an Apple product), and a real case with included extras (even Beats Studio Pro is better in this regard).

Impossible for me to justify even this price, considering Lightning vs USB-C and impressive offerings from the competition.

The painless bluetooth pairing to various Apple devices with the W1 or H1 chip (can't remember which the Max has) makes all the difference to me -- but I really want USB-C. I bought mine Used - like New for about $350ish, been very happy but there's room for refinement.

Why is lightening so important on a Bluetooth Headphones. Other than the possibilities of carrying an extra cable. My Bluetooth headphone's USB-C only used for charging. Charging needed not that often. I really could careless about what cable is needed.

agree, but I would say 199-220 USD and no more, it has always been an incredibly overpriced product

I have those Bose, they are not good at all, I would actually look at the latest Sony TBH as something good to compare to.

You said it yourself. I don't want to have to carry or keep track of an extra cable for charging. Everything I use is now USB-C, so it does not make sense for me to invest in a pair of headphones with Lightning-- especially when there are rumors of a USB-C version (with additional rumored improvements) coming right around the corner.

EDIT: Also, I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2 already. Mayyyyybe the equation changes for me if I don't have those, but I would probably still hold out for AirPods Max 2 (or go with a competitor) if I absolutely needed something today. AirPods Max for me are something I'd like to have, but don't need, so I can wait for an update.

I guess you do not have any iPhones?

Many of us, millions have not upgraded to iPhone 15. So we are carrying a lightening cable. even when updating the iPhone, one cable will not deter me from purchasing any product that meets my needs at a good price point.

If you work with headphones on, or wear them for extended periods of time, then these are not for you. Way too heavy. Try the Bose Ultras instead. Best headphones on the market right now in my opinion.

Might as well get the Beats Studio Pro then. They’re often on sale for $179.

Hopefully they did switch from the stainless steel to titanium on a next generation model of the AirPods Max, though.

 

[Bandoholic]

An upgraded lighter model with usb-c would be better.

100%. I had them once also, which ironically I had purchased form the Apple Store. Typical “no highs no lows” BlOSE sound quality, bad touch controls, and a lousy app. Luckily they bricked themselves during a FW update within 14 days of purchase, making them an easy return.

BUT I still think they out-Apple’d Apple on aesthetics, carrying case, and included extras.

Bose 700s with Apple controls + electronics + audio, at a Beats Studio Pro price, would be my perfect headphones. I’m currently wearing the Beats as replacement for my old Jabra 85h’s (which finally died after many years of use), and they’re … fine, I guess.

I've worn them for hours on end and have never had an issue with the weight 🤷‍♂️

I never use them anymore. Tried the Sonys for a while, then finally settled on the Bose.

 

[dba415]

Still not worth it. Lots of headphones are better.

So you think the max should cost less that the AirPod pros? That’s a unique perspective to say the least.
