Silver because I liked them the best and the Space Gray will be a scratched up mess.

What I find interesting is the is very high priced product. But they color matched it to the low end line?? Esp considering they will for sure introduce a lower end model in the future

The darker space gray finish is surprisingly durable, especially on rounded devices. The body of My old SG Apple Watch was in pristine condition when I upgraded. The screen on the other hand was a complete disaster. I was rough with that watch and it only showed on the screen. However, the body remained perfect. No discolorations, scratches, or dings. Regardless, all of the colors of the AirPods Max are gorgeous. You really can’t go wrong with any of them.

If they have the DLC coating I suppose that could be true.

But the bullet and bought a set in space grey. Seems wise now that delivery estimates are at 12-14 weeks. So if they are no good I’m gonna flip them
On eBay for double what I paid for them. So, either they are amazing or I double my money. It’s a win win

By the time you get them, there will be plenty of inventory, so I don't think that's likely

Space Grey. Initially thought about silver but after seeing videos the lighter colors lack definition and just don’t look good on the head. Space Grey on the other hand looks super professional / sexy! Receiving Dec 22.

I jumped on the bandwagon a bit late, but I figure it never takes as long as Apple says to get back ordered stock to me, and if the real reviews from people who review audio products rather than Apple products aren’t great when they drop I’ll cancel before they charge my card.

I went Space Grey - I’m pretty sure it’s most popular because:
  • It’s the most subtle - partly why I chose it
  • It won’t be out of date in 9 months when the next colours of phone are launched - I could not care less on this however
  • It has a dark fabric band - mostly why I chose it. I considered silver, but that white fabric will get gross over time. Apple has pulled off some seemingly impossible things, but magically keeping light colours staying clean is not one of them in my experience, and I’m not betting AirPods Max money that now is when they figured it out.

you better put them up now, if Apple has them in stock on Tuesday people will just go there.

I like the green. Like seafoam green. Ikea has some light green furniture those would look really nice with. Sky blue is nice too.

From the pictures and reviews its standard alu anodized. Which is already very scratch resistant.

dlc usually just on steel alloys.
