No sweat issues here. I’ve worn them for a couple hours at a time and find them light and comfy.What about the sweat issues I keep reading about? That just sounds nasty

I've had very good luck ordering their warehouse stuff myself. Every single item I've ordered (3-4 things now) were even still sealed.I just received my Silver APM from Amazon for $447. There have been a number of these Used/Like New or Very Good units available from Amazon--you just have to keep checking. My pair is absolutely pristine.
They really should raise the price to $99 and maximize the profit. People will pay it for the Apple brand. Milk ‘em hard.Apple is making a nice profit on these $5 cushions.
I appreciate the opportunity to save a ton of money and give something a well-deserved second life. And with the APM, AppleCare makes this a pretty risk-free purchase.I've had very good luck ordering their warehouse stuff myself.

Mine will be that tomorrow when my blue arriveI like the Space Grey/Blue Cushion combo. I might buy those soon, but $69 is a little excessive. $39 would have been sweet, but we all know Apple around here.
I paid 3400 for a cracked windshield on my //M X5 (well.. My insurance did) HUD, adaptive cruise and front camera calibrate will do that to ya...I wonder if people similarly go to BMW forums and have a good whine about M8 replacement parts; say a headlight unit at around $4K? Especially those who will never own an M8.
We’ll have none of your perspective getting in the way of our hot takes, you!!For perspective H95 ear cushions are $100
According to folks on internet forums (with years of manufacturing experience I’m assuming), they only cost $5 to make. With that much profit, keep the price lower to sell moar.They really should raise the price to $99 and maximize the profit. People will pay it for the Apple brand. Milk ‘em hard.
Nah, they wouldn’t sell any better because the folks specifically concerned about the price, the heft and the power button are not folks that would buy them at ANY price anyway, those are just well worn complaints.I think the AirPods Max will sell worse than the original HomePod. They sit in this no man's land between audiophile/professional gear and prosumer gear. I think if they can get these things down to $399, make them lighter, and put a power button on them they would sell a lot better.
Post a pic for me please! I know it'll convince me haha.Mine will be that tomorrow when my blue arrive![]()
They do if you use them a lot. Buying headphones where cushions can't be easily replaced is not very smart.I thought this is for fashion or novelty, do ear pads really wear out and need to be replaced??
$5?Apple is making a nice profit on these $5 cushions.
They wear out. At least with good headphones that you don’t throw away after 3 years. My Sonys ear pads lasted 5 years.I thought this is for fashion or novelty, do ear pads really wear out and need to be replaced??
You must have meant 0.5Apple is making a nice profit on these $5 cushions.
Same here. I have worn mine for a 6 hour teams meeting and my ears never begun to sweat AND there was no condensation inside the Airpods Max afterwards...No sweat issues here. I’ve worn them for a couple hours at a time and find them light and comfy.
I imagine they make the most profit now from these kind of things. Imagine the profit on watch straps! OMG!Apple is making a nice profit on these $5 cushions.
Serious question - what's your measure for reasonableness?—the price is reasonable.
It's subjective, obviously. For me, it's a price that I'm willing to pay considering the value/pleasure I receive in return. Materials and design are important to me and factor into my calculation.Serious question - what's your measure for reasonableness?
I ask because I often see people who use "a reasonable price" and "a price I can afford to pay" interchangeably even though they are/should be very different.
I have Airpods Max and the quality is flawless on the cushions. Maybe the raw materials are a couple of bucks, but I imagine they have to discard many in quality control and use considerable ressources on the manufacturing equipment.The profit margin on these must be insane. Surely it can't cost them more than a couple of bucks to produce these.
