Will this be like Homepod and they will discontinue it and introduce a cheaper Airpds Max-Mini?
The Homepod enjoyed a $100 discount at Target and other stores. That's 33% off. If the APM gets a 33% off discount, that would put it into a price range that's much more competitive ($360)

I could see them spec bumping these to deal with the "can't even play Apple Music Lossless" thing...which is a bit embarrassing really.
$450 is fair IMO. $100 more than the Sony’s with much more premium materials. (Albeit no proper case or 3.5mm adapter that both come with the Sony’s.)
They're very tempting at this price, but I will try to control myself and wait until Apple comes out with a version that can play the lossless format.
Slight tweak -
In all seriousness, I really hope they release a version of these that are lighter.
I realize some users don't find it to be a problem....but man...I was at Best Buy the other day and decided to spend a fresh 20mins with them again (former owner - sold mine) and good lord - I was SO happy to get that boat anchor off my head.
It's subjective - I get it - I just hate it.
Sounds great - way too heavy for me.
For me, over ears are mainly used for travel and so the weight/comfort piece has to be totally ace...
and the APMs just aren't (for me - and my head)
I've wondered that also.
I was in contact with a guy on craigslist and Facebook (same guy/listing on both) near me who had a pair of sealed black ones that he started at $480 and about 2 months later (just last week) he finally sold them for $340

Had Apple eliminate the own goals here - real case, off button, instead of getting cute and innovative with dumb features nobody wants, then they'd be completely justifiable at 450ish. It puts them in the category of the H9 3rd gen, which is a fair comparable.
One aspect of this that's nice to see....is a touch of humble pie for Apple.
Both the HomePod and the Airpod Max are products where their ego got way out over its skis in terms of MSRP.
It's refreshing to see the market correcting them

$250-$275 is my range for those.
They don't sound more than that.
AirPods Max are only sold for really rich people, or well off apple fanboys who will buy anything apple, paying $200 more for marginal improvements just because there is an apple logo on it.
Eeks. No interest at least I hope?
Save up and get a good deal on some preowned ones or something before signing onto payments for over priced headphones purchased at full MSRP
I love mine. Ever since the firmware update my battery life had been superb. If I use them for 2-3 hours a day they will easily last over week in between charges. I’m not mad at the smart case. I prefer something lighter to use at home. I have another case to use when traveling anyways. I do wish they would have been slightly cheaper. 399 or 449 would have been better, but oh well. #yolo
For some reason, on the more overpriced Apple products, my mind always wanders to the question:
“what original MSRP would we have to get to before we’d find a nobody defending the price/value?”
Like...I think for AirPods Max, we would have to have an MSRP around $1500 USD before we would run out of people to defend the value proposition.
What do you all think?

Not Worth $453.82!!! IMHO Maybe $199.99 without Tax then I would think about it...
Are you serious? If so, then you have a near complete lack of knowledge of audio equipment
