And travel headphones.

After just getting off an 8 hour flight, can wholeheartedly recommend Apple’s comically expensive AirPods Max. First set of ANC cans J have owned that can be worn for 8 hours straight. And the sound is amazing.

Any audiophile knows Apple's AirPods Max are comically overpriced and garbage. Sony XM5/XM4 Series have better sound quality and features at a much lower price. They work well across iOS AND Android too. There are so many competitors at that price range and Apple doesnt come close

LOL, “audiophiles” are nothing more than peddlers and consumers of electronic woo and snake oil. They wouldn’t recognize the difference.

Audio pros laugh at these people as soon as the payment clears. I don’t put any stock into what they “know” (usually what they have convinced themselves is real)

The difference is massive. I have BOTH the AirPods and the sony’s and anyone can tell the difference.

By your logic, why doesn't everyone just buy the AirPods 1 instead paying much more for airpods 3 or pro??? People are just consumers and can't tell the difference right???

People love to shit on Apple but I have tried other wireless earbuds and they all have problems except for AirPods.

However, I will say I disagree with “the sound is amazing” that is their weakest point in my opinion.
