After spending well over 2 years with AirPods Max, the cracks are starting to show and we desperately need a 2nd-generation version to address the deteriorating headband and spaghetti-like Lighting to 3.5mm proprietary cable (sold separately). Aside from that...I still wear them almost ever day, I love the audio profile and battery life, and won't be switching to another pair of over-ear headphones anytime soon.

Not sure if this would work, but have you tried taking a hair dryer and seeing if it would shrink it up a little bit if it has any plastic or rubber qualities, it should shrink just fine. I don’t have one, so I couldn’t test it on it and I hear it’s cloth but who knows if it’s some sort of synthetic it may shrink and be tight again.

I suspect the headband issue that’s described has to do with how you wear the headset. It seems like you wear the headset more pressed against your head than i do. I also have had them since launch, and always wore the headset with the top barely touching the top of my head. As a result, it wears just as it did on day 1. Just my 2¢

Just wondering what happens when the batteries start to degrade, will you be able to replace them? If not, that's 550.00 you can't get back. I mean they are designed for wireless use first, don't come with the aux cable when you buy it. Have a set of headphones that I upgraded the drivers and all together spent 85.00 on and they sound as good as the Apple set. Yes they are wired only, but I don't care for wireless sets. ( I do have one set, but rarely use)

@benbork9835 Жыл бұрын
I knew this would be an issue from the beginning. „Thankfully“ my AirPods Max broke after 1.5 years and I was given a new pair. Although after 1.5 years I noticed the mesh not really supporting the weight anymore. Also the AirPods Max are one of the very view wireless headphones in that price range. And contrary to what most people think they are not overpriced for what they sound like. The overall sound and stereo field and comport (ignoring the headband) as portable makes me look over the downsides. Again, if there would be proper alternative I would maybe get different ones but there aren’t any.

Agree with your point. I have been demoing the Max…and in some stores where the headphones are a bit older, they actually hurt my head as the mesh worn, and actually rest on my head. No issues with newer headphones. But I am not sure I agree that Apple originally planned for the headphones to be modular. Apple has never made anything modular. Ever. You cannot even upgrade the RAM so your MacBook. I doubt they intended for you to be able to upgrade the AirPods Max…

The weight is not an issue for me since I only use them in the house. The case is cringe. My issue is the connection issues that never happened until 1.5 years in. At least three times a week I have to restart them by holding the two buttons for about 10 seconds until an amber light flashes because they will not detect my head and turn on. It isn't very pleasant.

Same with my Max. First this issue with the headband then the ear cushion literally break apart into pieces, it's glue lost adhesion. Now whenever I turn on the transparency and the active noise cancellation it has this static sound. I can't really use anymore, the price of this thing is not really worth it. It's not really durable and I'm not going to buy another Apple headphones in the future after this kind of experience. It's just an expensive failure. 👎🏼

I returned mine after 2 weeks. Mine would have the condensation issue. Where the ear cups would sweat after listening for around 30min while in a car ride(not even working out). After an hour or two. I started to feel the weight on them. Having to pay extra on an actual case for $500+ headphones. Hopefully they release a newer version. For a budget friendly version that’s plastic

Iv been using them since they came out, the headband issue is real on every airpods max but that is not even the worst. My first airpods max died a few months after the warranty expired . Completely dead . They were kind so they repaired for free with no warranty ( they gave me a new because it was totaly dead. ) . But i think they issue was the condensation water getting into the earcups. If you place the cold metal housing on your warm head water droplets will appear on the inside and since it does not have any IP rating i think it slowly kills the headset.
