I mean a usb c mod can do that already available you dont have to buy a new headphones for 1 port but you lose the ability to connect them with a cable only caveat
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
What do you do for upkeep? Just got a pair on sale and want to try to make them last. I heard they can build up moisture and possibly damage the internals. Have you been able to prevent that?
@@cwrager84 I have had mine for 3 years and they're spotless. I bought a case and put an AirTag in it. When I don't use them for more than an hour, I put them in the case. I baby them like I did on day one -- that means I never toss them, am careful to never walk too close to anything that could scratch them, and never throw them into a backpack without the aftermarket case. They're really easy to keep looking like new. They are the best Apple product I've ever owned.
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
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
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.
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.
@@jayr122001 update: they kept on disconnecting from “find my” so I took them in again. they still had 2 days to get Apple care on them. They were locked on find my from the previous owner. so they ended up taking them in and delivered me a new pair with a new serial number since I was the one who purchased Apple care on them. 1 and a million for sure. Grand total of 210 with Apple care purchase
@@OfficialUIUX I wouldn't say so.. Regardless for peace of mind, they allowed me to get an express replacement at apple for no additional fees with Apple Care+. Got a new pair through Apple and returned the one I got from the guy I initially purchased them from.
@@OfficialUIUX I ended up swapping it with a new pair within the apple store for no additional fees. They would not have taken the originals if they were not legit lol..
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
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.
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 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.
@Jayh0v used, on ebay. But theres an element of luck and risk involved so you have to know what youre doing. I got my pair 2 years ago for 350 on ebay. It might actually be harder now, given theres no significant discounts on the new market and the used market has nore demand and more older pairs floating around than it did 2 years ago.
Actually after looking around the ebay market just now I found several listings that i would consider good, and theyre all at or around 300. So it looks like these are definitely easier to shop for than 2 years ago.
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.
@@achapa739 wow i didnt know that. I still recommend a 3rd party silicone cover just bc it doesnt impact comfort or aesthetics and ensures the mesh stays pristine.
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.
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.
Theres good hardcases for 25 dollars. I have one myself tho i never use iit. As for the offswitch, If you go into the findmy settings and set your house as a safe location, then the idle battery drain drops to bout 10% per 24hrs. Since i use them daily for hours at a time, that idle drain doesnt bother me. They dont die even with 2 days of heavy use, but i usually charge every other day so theyre never on low battery.
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 ?
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 ?
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.
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.
@@RiqMoran no. The mesh never broke. It got loose. For about two years it was fine. Practically unchanged. Then, it started looking a tad wavy just like the one in the video. A couple of months later, it was as loose as a piece of cloth. I tried using the silicon adapter, both the one that wraps the headband and the one you insert with pressure. Nothing worked.
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.
If you have them, you could try buying the apple dongle and cable to use them wired. They are able to handle up to 24/48 and do sound noticeably more detailed. Only drawback is that spatial audio and accessibility settings are disabled while wired. So if you enjoy spatial audio or have EQ'd your pair with an audiogram, thats unfortunately disabled while wired and you basically get the fresh out of the box EQ.
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.
Id say buy some, they are so good! I doubt they’ll release a new version so soon without having made any announcements yet. maybe in Dec but no way in Sep, but I doubt they’ll even come out tbh
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 ?
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
When you then on the highest audio quality/ dolby atmos.. its soooo impressive! But the design like not being able to fold or turn these off need to be sorted
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.
from how popular these have become its very unlikely that apple will change the design, so really the only reason you would wait is for either the updated software or the USB C change. either way I agree and there is no time like the preset to pick one up.
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 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.
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.
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!
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’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.
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.
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?
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
This is funny I finally broke down and bought the max after waiting and waiting for usbc and ended up returning them for the Sony xm5s and couldn’t be happier. AirPods Max was just too much for the value , too heavy , stupid case, no power button and lightning charging got old fast. I was scared to wear them in the gym. That being said I loved the sound balance they did a good job there but the sonys just made more since for me.
I just bit the bullet... I went to Apple .. please just give me the Airpod Max lmaoo .. done waiting .. I had them for 2 months and only wore them like once 😂😂😂😂
I tried the AirPods Max, in the Apple Store. they're honestly not that great sounding headphones. I cannot seem to see myself pay that much for those pair. I however done my research and gone with the Sony WH1000XM4s. IMO the Sony XM4s are great sounding headphones for music, you can hear the mids, lows and highs, better than the beats and AirPods Max. the Bass is just right amount, sounds so good I can adjust the sound and Sony's good preset how you want. It's better than the apple preset equalizers. Hell of a lot better. but I still love the AirPod Pros and AirPods 2nd gen.
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.
Just do it? amzn.to/49g9HRx

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.
I AM waiting..waiting for split screen on iPhones 😅😂
Thank you. I love my AirPods Max, I even now using them for gaming on my PS5 and Xbox.
I hope they add more colors anybody else suffering from rust on the magnetic ear cups?
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?
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
I just bit the bullet. couldn't wait any longer lmaooo.
This is funny I finally broke down and bought the max after waiting and waiting for usbc and ended up returning them for the Sony xm5s and couldn’t be happier. AirPods Max was just too much for the value , too heavy , stupid case, no power button and lightning charging got old fast. I was scared to wear them in the gym.
That being said I loved the sound balance they did a good job there but the sonys just made more since for me.
Only a few months now. Well, I waited for almost 4 years. Why not wait a little while for the next generation
Definitely going to get the new version when it comes out I skipped this model
I'm just waiting because next gen will have lossless audio support.
I just bit the bullet... I went to Apple .. please just give me the Airpod Max lmaoo .. done waiting .. I had them for 2 months and only wore them like once 😂😂😂😂
I tried the AirPods Max, in the Apple Store. they're honestly not that great sounding headphones. I cannot seem to see myself pay that much for those pair. I however done my research and gone with the Sony WH1000XM4s. IMO the Sony XM4s are great sounding headphones for music, you can hear the mids, lows and highs, better than the beats and AirPods Max. the Bass is just right amount, sounds so good I can adjust the sound and Sony's good preset how you want. It's better than the apple preset equalizers. Hell of a lot better. but I still love the AirPod Pros and AirPods 2nd gen.
I’ve been trying to choose between these two for the past 2 weeks. I think you’ve convinced to go with the XM4s now
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.
Apple should put a built-in battery life LED screen on their Airpods and headphones. Cheaper brands have done this, so why can't they do it too?
I’m itching to get the AirPods Max
You made me buy a pair today 😍
Hope you enjoy them!
Love them! No hassle when switching from different apple devices. Should have gotten my pair sooner haha@@GregsGadgets
I just got mine! But i'll just get the new one when that comes out too
Love this vid but where to u get the goku shirt I need that one in my life
Complete the agree these are still very purchasable today maybe not the full price though
Needs to be smaller, lighter, USB C, better looking, a better case…then they will be the category king.

Nice choice of music ( stay with me)
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.
