AirPods Max Reviews

Keep in mind, when the first AirPods came out, they were universally panned and ridiculed. Now they are ubiquitous.
I think even just a simple embossed Apple logo would be an improvement.

Fair point, but AirPods were truly unique at the time. Over the ear headphones have been around for decades and these aren't anything unique like Airpods were.
This guy likes them, when they work. He has reviews of other higher end headphones on his channel as well.
The more distinctive the design, the less logos are needed. One look and you know they're APMs, without a giant Apple logo broadcasting from your ears. None of their wearables, e.g. Watch, AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max products have logos... one look and you know. Same with HomePod. Wouldn't be surprised if they started down a path of removing logos from more products in the future.
The shape reminds me of my old pair of David Clarks when I was in the Air Froce.
Now I'm wishing I would have gotten the green pair and put the logo on them. Run a fake cable from one ear over to the other. Black ear puffs/cuffs/cups.
It felt like those things were on my ears for a solid 8 years.
(not me) that guy looks way better ?

I'm an adult and I think the target audence for these are adults. For teenagers they might have an issue with what their friends think but most mature adults are confident enough to buy and wear what they like. I have to work hard for what I buy so this means I care about what it means to me. If someone else wants to buy me headphones then I'll consider their opinion. If not it's meaningless
I've still got my David Clarks and they do look similar now that I think about it
If that video was supposed to sell someone on 550 dollar headphones, it failed miserably. Everything is just OK or pretty good. What a ringing endorsement!
He's not selling anything. He's a known audiophile. He's just putting the overall technology into perspective. People always want to read between the lines.
Exactly. If you don’t want them don’t buy them. People just want to hate on a brand or product for no reason
Oh jeez the victim complex. People have plenty of reason to not think these headphones are good enough to justify their price.
Some of his comments are obviously fair, but a lot of his issues are because he’s not using an iPhone (like the music not pausing when he takes them off).
Dont get me wrong, I’m not defending Apple but clearly these were made to be used with Apple products, so yes you will have a worse experience if you are using an android phone.
Here my review, I think they are pretty good. Second pair of bluetewth headphones I had. I had zinghi ones before, those were ok. I will be wearing these outside for labour work but I got apple care so I update review after a few weeks on how they hold up. I imagine people will assume I'm a bit gay but not a big deal.
