Amazon Discounts USB-C AirPods Max to $449.99

[johnparjr]

Just bought a pair at the $449 price but also had $250 in Best Buy reward Cert so my cost was $200 with 12 months to pay it off

Old. Overpriced. Badly needs complete update.

Yep. There are much better headphones for that money.

Apple Care has entered the chat lol

Not sure what you mean, but essentially don’t buy these headphones, definitely not worth the price knowing they break after about a year

I got mine lightning version really cheap like 280 dollars. They have worked flawlessly for a number of years, EXCEPT that stupid mesh that lost all elasticity and is not replaceable. It beggars belief

There are replacements on Amazon but not the same mesh. More of a rubbery type, but I’ll try that if the mesh on mine gives out.

Real hi-fi headphones are a different market segment entirely. Provide examples of what you refer to.

Basically everything here is better than Apple's thing - and a lot of it is cheaper, too:

I have a really old mini-USB connection pair of Beats Studio (over the ear) headphones that work really well. When the material around the ear cans began deteriorating I was able to find some really nice replacements on Amazon that have lasted quite a long time now. They cost nearly half as much as the AirPods Max, and I don't have to deal with that stupid charging case.

Yes because they aren’t wireless, are inconvenient for many due to many factors including that a lot of those headphones need an amp to sound their best, and they don’t feature ANC or phone integration.

As I said, different market segment. You may as well compare a Ride-on Lawnmower to a Porsche just because they both have four wheels.

I just sold my AirPods Max this week after several enjoyable years.

I just wasn't using them much anymore and I figured I'd get some money off the table.

The one thing I really wished were different is the weight.

The band up top supported it pretty well, and it was reasonably comfortable, but the weight did occasionally bother me as they'd have a tendency to shift if I ever moved my head up/down beyond a certain point and it was a nuisance.
