    This worked perfectly! Thanks! I did opt to purchase a clear case cover/sleeve for the AirPods Max rather than stick it directly to my AirPods Max, which gives me the option to remove the entire connection with ease simply by removing the cover.

    I’ve come to find you can also just magnet the mod mic to the middle of the AirPods if you don’t like the idea of a magnet adhered to them. I left the adhesive on after I peeled it off so that it still has some resistance and doesn’t spin around, but I can just pull the whole mic rig off and have my AirPods still looking sleek still.

    Thanks for the video. I am not a gamer, but your video gave me a way to utilize my AP max headset as an aviation headset in my plane. The noise reduction of the AP Max is far and away superior to my $1200 Bose and Light Speed aircraft headsets. If Apple offered a turnkey adapter for aviation jacks, they would absolutely dominate the aviation headset market. Probably would not need the boom mike attachment at all. Cheers!

    Great idea! I wish Apple will add a version with a boom mic like yours. Because its mic is OK for a conference call - but not good. I suppose people at Apple who actually use it for the conference call know what I mean. But, I suppose Apple design lords will literally kill anyone trying to fuglify to their 'perfect' design.

Also, the need to add a mic with adhesives and have two cables, yeh no thanks lol. Great video though, all straight to the point! subscribed 👍🏻.
    Ah yeh and btw, when we connect a cable to a ps4 / ps5 controller, it’s all Bluetooth or? As I’ve done that with some old headphones and don’t really noticed much latency even though supposedly Bluetooth should be the worse when it comes to that..

      @sgtfixer Год назад +3

      @@alex2653 so I bit the bullet and purchased everything in the video and it works better than I expected. I know they’re pricey, but I’ll tell you what the sound quality coming out of the Apple Max’s is way better than any of the gaming headsets I’ve used and I’ve spent money on the $200 and $300 options, Turtle beach 800x and Steelseries Arctic 9x.
      The bass is the most noticeable improvement, as well as the noise cancellation feature, which is the best I’ve ever experienced. The surround is great and I’ve noticed so many sounds I’ve never heard before in my games. And footsteps while playing Battlefield V were 3 dimensional so I could tell wheee people were very accurately. I’m looking forward to testing them out while watching a movie in Dolby Atmos on the Apple TV 4K when it comes in. The Dolby Atmos on the Xbox series X is awesome with this headset.
      My biggest gripe is that after being totally wireless to have wires connected to the controller in my lap is not ideal, but I’ve zip tied them all together nice and neat at a predetermined length, and that helped with keeping the wires under control.
      All in all, I believe I spent $670 on everything, which is way over what I would spend for something like this. However, I did, and I have no regrets. For me, the sound and audio experience is just so much better now.

    Will the magnet mess up anything in the airpods max?

      No it doesn’t work sadly. Just so you know, you need the 3.5 cable from Apple

    Can I use it without that microphone you used with like another mic that could sit on my desk? i’m thinking a mic with a mute switch would be awesome to have instead of putting adhesive on my headset

      The adhesive won’t be stuck on there. U just clean it. IMO it looks clean af with a mic on it
