AirPods Max in Pink Now Available to Ship on Amazon

I'll buy a pair when they are $400 AUD (never).
I love my AirPod Pro's, but when i went into the store to give these a listen. They sounded decent, but not for the price they are asking for.

I hope Apple doesn’t cut and run with this line. Fix the purse, fix the weight, you’ll really have something going there. The price is a big hindrance, but the design is hurting it more.

Out of interest, have you got a pair? From my personal experience I struggle to understand the weight issue. The case is whatever, I'm not traveling at the moment so never use the thing, but I case see it being problematic when the time comes to throw them in a bag.

Perceived scarcity to drive sales for a very expensive headphone

That's been in apple's playbook a lonnng time. No hate. Just truth.

I remember every year when new iPhone was launched many skeptics said the same thing then quarterly earnings report came out and everyone was shut up.

Exactly! That's the same reason they've only released 2.5 billion iPhones so far.

Is there anyone that had the Sony WH-1000XM3 (or 4) and the new Apple headphones, that can compare both of them. Specially the weight would be of concern for me - I find the Sony already heavy enough. Hard to say which amount of sound quality justifies a stiff neck ....

There are literally dozens of reviews that compare the two here and elsewhere online. What I'll say is the first time I took them out of the box they were shockingly heavy in hand. Then I promptly forgot about the weight once I had them on and haven't thought about it sense. It's a non issue as far as I'm concerned. Sort of like a really expensive watch is heavy.

Well - I was more into a "real" statement from somebody from the group than an online review, so thanks for that. Judging from the reviews I have no reason to replace my Sony WH-1000XM3 - still I fell some irrational temptation.

I didn’t say ACTUAL scarcity, but perceived scarcity.
