AirPods Max

Have you ever looked into the world of audiophiles? Some people spend thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) on headphones, speakers, DACs, amps, and other gear all in pursuit of better sound quality. To them, it’s not just about listening to music, it’s about experiencing it at the highest fidelit

I recently got the iPad Pro M4 and AirPods Max and boy do they look good together!

Also have the iPhone 16 Pro in black.

So, all black devices for the foreseeable future lol.

Nor the ones who put the charging port under the Magic Mouse. Nor the designers of the AirPods Max bra carrier.

Beat up AirPods Max Occupies the smith machine for 25+ mins (most of this time is spent talking with other people) Stays at the gym for 3+ hours every day Posts tiktoks about eating “real food” (i.e. steak, eggs, banana, raw honey, avocado on a wood cutting board) Publicly body positive but secretly

Reminds me of when she got blue AirPods Max because she said they made her eyes pop

Lorde loves her AirPods Max lmao

Tried the AirPods Max here at a store in Sydney. Here’s a quick very subjective review with the Bose NC700 as a comparison.

Noise Cancellation:

The Max is maybe 25% better at noise cancellation. Genuinely quieter than the Bose. It feels it’s partially due to the headphones cupping your ears more

It’s like I heard it for the first time again. Sounds amazing! Treated myself since they went on sale for Black Friday. The orange is so cute🫨

I absolutely cannot believe that they didn't fix the headband ("canopy"). The way it gets so saggy, useless and uncomfortable after ~a year of use must be one of the biggest unaddressed Apple hardware design failures in modern history, and is the reason why I can't use my AirPods Max despite liking

I have weird giant ear lobes and my OG Lightning Max’s are the only ones that fit right. I love them, and will run them into the ground before I get any replacements. That said, I was hoping the H2 chip would be in the next set I get like with the AirPods Pro 2’s that I have. I will buy these now, w
