Deals: Amazon Has AirPods Max at the Best Price This Year ($429 in Two Colors) [Update: Sold Out]

[MacFan23]

An optional wired connection & hi-res lossless would seal it for me.

Optional wired connection is already there actually.

Maybe for the ridiculous MSRP Apple could actually include the cable?

Seriously- this company is such an absolute overpriced gouge fest ... too often

It’s embarrassing

Fantastic, these cans can do lossless via cable (straight to headphone jack)?

Back on sale this morning.

And likely continuing off and on in perpetuity I think.
They priced them too high

It is sold out..who was GULLIBLE enough to purchase them?

Me. I bought 4 when they first came out, sold three and kept the fourth for free. For free (or even a couple hundred bucks) they’re definitely worth it. They have all the features of the AirPods Pro in an over-ear design, but the lack of a wired listening option and high fidelity audio really limit them.

To those who are saying they are overpriced, perhaps so, but now that I've owned them for a couple of weeks I can honestly say that they are really good vs my Sony XM3's if you are in the Apple ecosystem.

Likes:

• The transparency mode has been a game changer and I now use these over the AirPods Pro for just about all my work phone calls.
• Best noise canceling. I think that some of this is passive because the cups cut out a lot of noise on their own. The overall effect is stunning.
• The seamless device switching also works well if, like me, you have all Apple everywhere.
• Sound quality is so good. I'm no audiophile, but I know bad from good. They are very balanced over a wide range of music types with pleasing bass and crisp highs.
• Spatial audio. Yes it's a gimmick, but I really like it!

Gripes:

• Dumb case instead of a power switch. It's so very dumb. Really dumb. I hate that thing.
• Shorter battery life than the Sony's which sucks because I use them a lot more. I just put them on charge each night.
• Can be tiring over longer periods of wear. These bad boys are heavy and clamp on tight.

Where the Sony beats Apple for me-App with EQ and ANC level adjustment. Cost. Case.
