AirPods Max Hit $399 in Every Color on Amazon ($150 Off)

[Stenik]

Tell me more about the one that costs only $249 and sounds better.

This is a list of the 5 headphones (one is without ANC) that are better than the AirPods Max. Prices are in € at the time of publication. The source is Audio.de
And I was able to listen to all of them, except the new Dyson.

DALI IO-12 are the best

Exactly what keeps me them from getting them at this price. The only lightning device I use is my AirPods Pro 1, and even those, I charge via wireless.

I was holding off for this reason, but they got me with the ~$350 price a few months ago. I figured I can toss an old lightning cable in my travel bag and save a good chunk of cash via buying the new usb-c edition. I love usb-c, but I’m a cheap bastard.

No Focal Bathys on that list?

I’ll wait for a (hopefully) lighter pair with USB-C.

To be honest, I have not heard them (only the Utopia). But in another magazine, Stereo.de, they rate them just above the B&O H95.
But you know they are more expensive than $250.

I’m a Focal Bathys fan. More expensive but worth it.

They are both great... tbh

I have APM, Bathys, and Dali IO-12. They are all great for different reasons. I would get the PX-8 and H95 as well but I am afraid the ear cups are too small. Can anyone out there calm my fears? BTW... I have like 20 pairs of headphones in total and can't get enough. My absolute faves are: Hifiman Arya Organic (open... very open actually), Dan Clark Ether Flow C 1.1 (closed back and so chill), and Dali IO-12 (great sound wireless but very iffy ANC), Bathys (wireless , very punchy, and almost good ANC), and the APM (great ANC and okay sound). Honorable mention is the Sennheiser HD 600 (just because I love these guys for 20 years).

IMO — even at this price the XM5s are superior.

These sales are the most accurate predictors of new models launch dates. Gurman should retire.

Good discount. Also nice to see that the lower price is available for all the colours.

Out with the old
Air Pods Max 20

in with the new
Air Pods Max 24

incoming in 3, 2, 1 …

Not happening this year.

Not true at all.

Same, my olde headphones are near dead after 7 years but I refuse to have any 'new' lightning devices in the house.

That‘s a really good price. I got mine for £433.99 about 2.5 years ago.
