They shouldn't release a new gen until they transition to USB-C.
I agree. Love mine. It would be nice if they were a tiny bit lighter as well.Most used headphones I ever owned. Love the max. I use them a lot more then my AirPods Pro. Amazing sound quality and very comfortable.
I would be interested in a new generation. Longer battery life and the possibility to switch them off, would be great. They really loose too much battery when not in use.
Well, the AirPods Max have a much better audio quality compared to the AirPods Pro 2. Much better. Of course, we shouldn't be comparing them. Different devices for different needs.Would take a drastic improvement in audio quality for me to consider wearing something so ugly.
I’m not comparing the AirPods Max to the AirPods Pro, but to other Over the Ear headphones.A completely different world than in-ears and a welcome change on long journeys, they are so comfortable and the sound quality is amazing. The ANC is on a whole different level compared to the AirPods Pros 2.
I’m not comparing the AirPods Max to the AirPods Pro, but to other Over the Ear headphones.Yes, it's the best pair of headphones available for Apple users.
I've been using one for the last 6 months. I've given away my Airpods Pro to my family because the Max is so much better for office work and general listening. I only miss it when I need something for workouts. Other than that, the Max is simply superior to the Pro.
I hate it. My case has degraded so the flap doesn’t turn them off consistently, particularly in my bag. It’s always a roll of the dice if I go to use them and they are charged. I think it’s a terrible design, I wouldn’t use the case at all if it wasn’t the power switch.It shouldn't be. You need to try it out. It's simply astounding.
The battery life rarely dies even after days of use without a single charge.
I compared the sound quality to a few expensive pairs of Sennheiser. The Max is simply far superior in sound quality against anything in the same price range. Nothing comes close.
In order to make you upgrade (again) they will add it on the 3rd revision.No USB C NO BUY.
Astounding? Don’t you mean courageousIt shouldn't be. You need to try it out. It's simply astounding.

Just because you can’t afford them doesn’t mean the price needs to be lowered. This is a luxury brand of headphones. Can’t afford them, then there are brands less expensive.
USB C is some sort of weird obsession. I have 50 devices charged and powered by weird custom connectors but some how Lightning is scary. You charge your headphones once a week. What possible difference does it make other than satisfying OCD tendencies?
I’m exactly the same. If they bring out a new travelling friendly design, I’ll be in Like Flynn.XM4s take a good half a minute to connect to my Macbook compared to almost instant Airpods and a couple of seconds for Bose QC35. Couple that with BT incompatibility on Samsung TVs, not being able to permanently turn off Speak-to-chat, finicky touch controls and muffled default sound profile (you almost have to use equliaizer) it's the most overrated pair of headphones I've ever owned. Both Airpods and Bose are so much better it's not even close. The only big con for Airpods Max I'd say is that stupid case.
The actual reality is that it doesn’t matter. We always have multiple cables around the house even if it’s just USB C, even if it’s Phone, Tablet, Laptop. what does it matter if they are USB C or lightning? We have 1 Lightning & 1 USB C permanent in the kitchen.Nope, earbuds, wireless headphones, kindle, iPad Pro, cameras, battery packs, mother-in-laws hearing aids, yadda yadda yadda all charge up with the same USB cable plugged into the same 20 watt Apple charger. Watch puck takes up the second outlet. Need to charge my phone, keyboard, or ATV remote. Yep second charging station or fiddle around and swap cables.
Yes, I could buy an Apple wired wireless (if the wireless charging puck is wired, is it really wireless) charging station, but guess what, that’s lightning also.
The iPhone 14 should have been thunderbolt.
I only agree with point 1.it’s a fantastic headphone? Yes
Was priced incorrectly? Yes
It’s a flop? Also yes
Airpods Max is superior to anything in its price class. The audio quality against the very best Sennheiser is not even a match. The Max's quality is simply superior.I’m not comparing the AirPods Max to the AirPods Pro, but to other Over the Ear headphones.
