AirPods Pro took three years to get updated. Max will be three years this year so we will see. With the Max, I think 4 years is good. What else could they do with it now anyway? USB-C is all I can think of.

I want to buy a pair - but I want them to be updated first ($work is hopefully going to reimburse most of the purchase price, so that is of moderate concern).
I wouldn't want to buy and then see them updated a couple of weeks or months later, on a three or four years circle.

I don't really like in-ear headphones.

I’m the same way. I hate in ear headphones which is why I purchased the Max from day one! Been happy with them.
