Just picked up a pair of Maxes in midnight. Had the first gen but sold them since I didn’t use them much and was getting into lossless audio. Glad that the new ones support lossless. Does anyone know if ANY USB-C cable works for this, or do I need to use the provided one?
I ordered my very first set of AirPods, in this case a set of AirPod Pro 3 headphones, and will be taking delivery of them tomorrow according to Apple's current status. Looking forward to using this set with my new iPhone Air.
EDIT: I have been using my new AirPod Pro 3 headphones a day now and can say I have been blown away with its performance. Although this is my very first pair of AirPods, I don't have any reference from the original AirPods or the AirPod Pro 2 series. I can only mention my experience using the AirPod Pro 3 series. I was impressed by the excellent noise cancelling and the personalized Spatial Audio feature of this headphone. I watched F1 the movie on it last night and was completely blown away with the audio these headsets provided and this morning how I left my iPhone Air on my patio table and went inside my home to take care of a few things while listening to a YouTube video and went around my kitchen then to my laundry room without loosing connection or audio quality.
I know there are those pointing out the shortcomings of this new headphone however with this said, from my experience using these headphones for the first time, I'm very satisfied with them and am glad I purchased them.

Just wondering, does the new AirPods Max (USB-C) works with Spotify Lossless, Tidal when wired using an iPhone 17 Pro?
I mean the APM doesn't limit it's compatibility with ALAC only but also compatible with other format like FLAC files etc?

It seems like a lot of people, including myself, originally loved the silver color — but since it tends to get dirty easily, many of us ended up going with Space Gray instead. I really hope Apple can find a way to fix this issue so we can confidently pick the color we actually love!
