I think this Apple product takes the prize of how much backwards trendy attention it gets, tons of reasons and effort of why it won’t be bought.
And at what price negotiations would begin: “make it $299 or less and we start talking” type.
If they do it’ll be a plastic version. You people want a Jaguar priced down to a Ford. If price is a concern with these then THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. There are much cheaper options that you’d be happy with.

Would that plastic version be called the AirPods Max-C, I wonder… 🤔
 
I understand that headphones can be pricey, but they shot themselves in the foot when they built this fancy and expensive headphone and then said that even plugged in with a cable it won’t allow highest fidelity lossless audio. what’s the point of a $500 headphone that’s limited by Bluetooth technology?

I have bought and used every level of headphones and IEMs over the last 30 years up to cans costing my $4,000.

The AirPods Max are THE best headphones I have ever owned...period.

And now with spatial audio, the quality of what comes out of those aluminium cups is profound.

If the price is too much for the snowflakes commenting above, then sorry peoples, they are not for you because you have no idea what a good set of headphones sound like let alone a great set of cans, which the APM truly are !!
This is what a normal person, and not someone trying to justify buying overpriced Bluetooth headphones, would say. Thank you for your normal perspective, I am glad you're not insecure about your purchase.
