Just do it? amzn.to/49g9HRx

I’m waiting for the USB-C version but it’s difficult…

I’m buying it as soon as they refresh it

Amazon has these for $399 right now. Lowest price ever.

had them since launch and with very minimal cleaning and maintenance and daily use, they still sound and perform like new. One of the very few impulse buys that i never regret even once lol

This is the best review I’ve come across! You’ve convinced me to get a pair. You talked about stuff needed to know like how they fit around your ear rather then smashing them and also how they aren’t as sweaty as others.

Hi i know I’m a little bit late i love mine soo much! But I do have a small question dose anyone know were i can buy clear cups for the outside of the headphones ?

Good vlog; however, you can tell the difference in audio very easily. Try listening on iPhone various quality/volume, then try on higher quality upstream. A simple A/B with the iPad/iPhone has different results. The reason that Apple can keep the form for 3 years is because of the technology in an Apple versus a regular headphone : the firmware can be easily updated. When new ground is broken from a form factor, Apple will be ready to pioneer it.

550 is not bad but considering how long they been out cut the price a bit they are well over 3 years old I think 349 would be perfect for them at this point

I totally agree on ear fit versus weight, its the biggest comfort difference.

Hey Greg, just wanted to say, I love your green overshirt! Looks great

bought mine a few months ago because I was tired of the apple ear buds developing a squeal when you push them in you ears (2nd pair to do that). I agree with you about the build quality and comfort and big bonus... the way they connect so simply with everything I use.

My original AirPods Max bricked about 1&1/2 years ago so I’ve been missing them for a long time! Don’t particularly care about usb-c on them. Just want the refresh to happen already! And if it doesn’t by the end of this year then screw it im saving up and buying on Amazon for a hopeful discount.

If they can reduce the form factor on the external shell, that would be awesome. These things are YUUUUGE.

What I want from air max 2 is more noise cancellation, less sound leak, usb-c, able to be turned off fully even without case, lighter, better bass sound quality and more colors

What about the weird case and lack of an off button? I don’t own a pair but my memory is that those were both issues folks had with the Airpods Max. I’m going to continue waiting because I can’t get rid of lightning ports fast enough.

I’ve been battling with myself to wait for the next version for couple years now, i want to use them for traveling and whenever i want. But i’m loosing it😅 Like i said i want to use it on the plane too watch and listen to music/movies, and i’m traveling in 4 weeks, now i have to decide in less than 3 weeks to get it anyway or heading for a Sony version. But i kinda dislike the plastic feel 😅 and who knows when Apple is gonna release newer version of Airpods Max. Any suggestions ?

Great video. You make so much sense as to why these are a great pair of headphones. Lightning port is no big deal and the case is nobiggie either.

There won't be issues with connectivity or maybe performance until a new pair comes out.

What can they really even improve in the refresh? Ergonomics are quite nice and sound quality will only increase by a negligible degree

Mine are two years old. Constantly disconnecting and not wanting to pair. If my left cup moves slightly it creaks and then only plays sound out of the left side till I disconnect and reconnect. Go figure this all started a month and a half after my warranty expired. Now I need the new ones to release in order to justify a replacement

2 of my AirPod max shit too bed not connecting or issue

I have the first gen and will be getting the second gen as well

What a well balanced and well thought out review. I have a pair coming today and I just have the next 14 days to decide wether to return or keep based on my own experience.

I’ve had mine from day one part from the cups need cleaning sometimes my silver ones still look brand new I would buy them again tomorrow if my broke down because we are coming up to 4 years with out a upgrade to the second generation which is very unlikely Apple so I don’t think new ones will come anytime soon if at all

the biggest change they need to make / could potentially make is LIGHTER BUILD!!! dealbreak for these compared to the competition is that these are far too heavy to use for working out or full days of work

I’m soooooo glad you feel my pain! Thank you for making this videos it’s therapy

I bought a pair for $592 (taxes) and returned them the following day. Why? Well Best buy had them for 70 dollars off, but my friend had a pair that she never wore because of the weight and sold them to me for $250.00. I got lucky.. If they come out with a refresh, now I won't feel bad purchasing the new ones.

I had to sell mine due to condensation so unless Apple fix this issue in a Gen 2, I don't see myself ever having another pair despite how great the features and sound are.

Problem is the difference between H1 & H2 chip. There is a significant improvement between the two along with those additional features. As promptly covered we might get Hi-Res Lossless support given that AirPods Pro 2 supports lossless audio via Vision Pro. Above all USB-C!! its better to wait unless you've someone to pass this over. Note: Listening to lossless audio via dedicated DAC/AMP is a big difference. If we get an in-built DAC like we get in Focal or B&W, then we have a wired headphones killer. So I feel its better wait.

They’re only $449 on Amazon & Best Buy brand new right now

I wish I had a 24 hour asmr Greg video to listen to in my AirPods Max

If you can find them for 300 in good condition, i would still recommend bc the quality of the materials, anc, and transparency is still industry leading.

I’m waiting for usb c and water resistance

It’s like the only Apple product I don’t have and want so bad ., but I’m not gnna buy one with lightening charger

Could you make a video if it is safe to put a case on the MacBook air or pros please because this is my first MacBook that I will be buying soon

I know this is a month old but thanks for the honest review!

I always wanted a pair but considering it is 4 years old now, I have been waiting for the new one forever

whats the music track which starts at 7:30

I just got mine! But i'll just get the new one when that comes out too

Said I wasn’t buying cause price ain’t worth it compared to other options , I folded and recently got one 2 weeks ago not upset at all. Does that mean they’re worth $550? No but I love em and imma just trade these in or sell when 2nd gen drop.

They have to hurry up and sell the usbc versions already

Best design. The plastic “premium” headphones suck. The connection issues and lack of on/off switch are problems. I’ve returned 3 or 4 pairs under warrantee. The 2.0 upgrade, assuming it has upgraded chip Bluetooth and on/off will be my new daily and the ones I have will become backups.

I’m going to wait for the refresh

2nd gen is rumored to be there by the end of 2024, more than for improved sound quality i would be looking forward to better chip, FINALLY AN ADAPTIVE MODE, i use it all the time on in-ear ones, and maybe some update to spacial audio, some even better tracking or something

I have airpods for 1st generation but I am thinking about buying airpods max but the problem is if this year will be 2nd generation, so please advise whether to buy the current airpods max or wait for this year's airpods max 2 ?

I have the Airpods Max lightning and they are still great! Great sound, ANC and works so well in the Apple ecosystem. Still worth a pick-up in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the next iteration but these are performing just fine.

I’m waiting for AirPods Max 2 and HomePods mini 2

I ended up buying the Beats Studio Pro. Close enough on the features and much more affordable. You can get them on sale for $199.

What are they like for home cinema use?

Bought them yesterday.. been waiting forever… also amazon and best buy have them discounted

Make them smaller?

On sale at Amazon $449.00 not a bad got a pair very happy with the purchase. Got some clear covers for aluminum areas of the speakers, I used my Max for music and movies. The best part traveling on the airplane, the noise canceling is the best. I don’t care if Apple puts a new model, I am enjoying my Max.

Complete the agree these are still very purchasable today maybe not the full price though

Thank you. I love my AirPods Max, I even now using them for gaming on my PS5 and Xbox.

I traded something i got for 150 but to them was worth 300 so i got lucky had been worn for couple months but still new since used in studio but i still can’t wait for the usbc bc i tossed out all my other chargers

One of all-time favorite Apple purchases! I used to teach at a private school, and the cafeteria was right next to my classroom. I’d use lunch period to fine tune my lesson plans and grade papers, but the unbearable cacophony of ravenous elementary students was quite the distraction! With my trusty AirPods Max, however, all it took was one, magical press of the noise cancellation button to transform the huge din into blissful silence! I absolutely love them and will keep using them daily for as long as possible!

I bought a ten dollar silicone cover for the mesh bc i knew it was the one durability flaw, and 2 years later its still like new. Small design flaw, easily fixable.

Love this vid but where to u get the goku shirt I need that one in my life

I loved mine. Until two months after Apple Care was no longer. The mesh gave in and the metal rested on my head causing unbearable pain. I contacted Apple and they wanted $325 to replace the headband. No other option. The third- party silicon band and other products didn't help either. I sold them for $200 and purchased Bose. Not the same thing but at least they don't hurt my head.

I hope they add more colors anybody else suffering from rust on the magnetic ear cups?

One problem with them, Lightning! I’m slowly getting rid of lightning

I have no regrets just purchased and used them on a long haul flight and found them more comfortable than Bose QC over the ears which get warm and are tighter after a few hours it really makes a difference - the noise canceling is better than Bose too because no hissing sound - I agree with most of what this says. I got some at Best Buy and they did not work properly I had several issues, so I returned and paid the extra $70 at Apple with peace of mind. I suspect the Best Buy were refurbished by Apple and sold as new, Best Buy told me they were brand new direct from Apple and I believe them, maybe it was just a defective item but I did not want to take a chance. I would not trust Amazon either. If the next APM's come out soon and are much better it will be easy to sell these purchased from Apple still under warranty to fund the new version. That's what many do when upgrading their Iphones so why not for headphones?

My biggest reservation is the lack of a decent case. I've been ready to buy for a long time, but I want the reassurance that my expensive headphones come with a protective case.

You forgot the biggest con for me anyways, the case need major improvement and the option to support lossless playback from Apple Music.

Wait a while and get them at reduced price when apple bring out next version. I just got AirPods 3rd gen which I am very happy with super comfortable and sound good.

I’m itching to get the AirPods Max

Definitely going to get the new version when it comes out I skipped this model

I thought it was just me waiting for the refresh. I just purchased mine today. I’ll give them to husband when new refresh comes out.

USB-C and get rid of that required case for standby mode

I’m hoping the new ones drop so these go down in price. Ik they’ll probably discontinue these but I’m hoping to find them elsewhere.

I hope they let us trade the headphones in when the new ones come out.

Cool review, like vibes brother 👊

Only a few months now. Well, I waited for almost 4 years. Why not wait a little while for the next generation

I got lucky and bought my AirPods Max last year Cause my Best Buy had it on deal for 329.99 I just bought them

Wait the biggest reason is so they can update the DAC for hires playback.

I love My airpod max when they actually wanna work. He's sugar coating it like a fan boy. They are good headphones but they have a condensation issue and connection issues as well. And they get dirty quick so you have to wash them like twice a month.

I’m waiting too out of fear of new cooler features to the AirPods Maxes

I’m gonna buy some for my birthday in 2 weeks

I want to get it !!!!! But when the new one dropping !?

They look good with the Vision Pro.

You should definitely wait on the max 2’s if for no other reason than the original’s will be cheaper

I still have an iPhone 12 Pro and an iPad Pro, bought during Covid, which I only did because my iPad Air stopped working properly after being dropped when boarding the ferry at Dublin Port and I needed an iPhone for the Irish Covid vaccine passports - these iPods are still too expensive for me to consider buying here in the U.K. and that is based on advice given to me by staff in the Apple Stores here in the U.K. - based on their advice, I still have not upgraded my iPhone or my iPad Pro - travelling frequently between where I live in the U.K. and my family in Ireland, there are way cheaper alternatives out there that work perfectly well with the iPad and iPhone and allow you to have two devices connected via Bluetooth at the same time, such as both your iPad and your iPhone

I purchased a pair from a guy who was clueless about them. We met at Apple and the associates confirmed the legitimacy. Purchased for $150

I’m gonna bought one next month

I hope the next one has sweat proof or water resistant feature so that i cud use it in the gym

lol I’ve just just been waiting for them to add ipx4+ for their new new version… I actually shed a tear when the iPhone 15 came out and they changed the AirPods Pro 2nd generation up a bit but there still was no update 🏳️ want them but too clumsy

I want to buy one soon one day

9:12 Nice choice of music ( stay with me)

I just bit the bullet. couldn't wait any longer lmaooo.

Hey man, if you're going to use my USB-C AirPods Max picture @0:25 I'd appreciate it if you at least credit it or mention the mod kit in the video ;)

I’m returning mine that I just received as bday gift to wait for the new one.

I’m waiting for the next generation of AirPods Max and I will sell my first generation AirPods Max. It’s unfortunate that they don’t charge with MagSafe, like AirPods Pro 2.

Was really considering purchasing this after tax refund. But I’ll probably wait until June to see until wwdc; if they don’t get updated then they won’t get updated at least until September

I AM waiting..waiting for split screen on iPhones 😅😂

Hmmm to wait or not to waitttt for usbc hmmmm

I'm just waiting because next gen will have lossless audio support.

I’m gonna wait. If I buy now and they come out with a new version I’m gonna be mad.

Apple AirPod Max can’t connect to my iPhone pro max. So I’m not sure I’ll everyone should it

You made me buy a pair today 😍
