Does anybody get confused on the direction for increasing/decreasing volume on the AirPods Max?

When I think about it, I want to turn it right /clockwise like you might want to do on a stereo but clockwise is actually lower volume! I understand their logic, but it trips me up every time!

You realize you can change direction on settings?

I agree, the default doesn’t seem intuitive to my mind. I have swapped it around in settings so now clockwise = increase volume

No, I don't get confused on the direction. I have it set it up that when I turn the Digital Crown clockwise, it will go volume up, if I turn it counter clockwise, it will go volume down.
