Apple AirPods Max problems

“if I had to be critical I'd say they're on the heavier side so you might run into some discomfort during longer listening sessions.”

“they're not a super strong clamping force headphone, so you can't just kind of like rely on them to hold themselves up or rather you might be able to, except that they're so bloody heavy that over time they tend to make their way down and…”

“I find that the max are comfortable thanks to the deep ear cups and the breathable mesh headband, but the heavyweight and the god awful smart case well, these make it less ideal for travel.”

“AirPods Max, for as nice as they look, weigh 384 grams. Sonos Ace on the other hand, with their largely plastic and metal construction, are only 312 grams. That's almost 25% lighter.”

“I don't like heavy headphones and to me I feel like the the AirPods Max are just much heavier for me to use for long periods of time in comparison to someone like the XM5s or XM6.”

“The fact that they include a case when you buy them, it's just very obvious that these are delicate in terms of their finish.”

“This case might be the worst case I've ever seen for any product I've ever boughten ever and certainly the worst headphone case I've ever seen.”

“The lack of folding and the lack of a case, I might even count the smart case like that, but the lack of folding and, let's face it, there's no case basically, cause that smart case I really use, I haven't used that thing since uh since I…”

“the AirPods Max still needs battery power to work, even when wired.”

“If you're into bass heavy club style music, you might feel a bit underwhelming. There's definitely a warmth to the vocals.”

“I actually didn't find the AirPods Max noise canceling to be as good as some people online say I think it's because of the physical seal is not as good due to having this rectangular earcup shape and also not having these really…”

“The AirPods Max also it's a little more powerful than the Sonos against midrange chatter, but at the same time it seems to be the weakest of the group at rejecting some bass rumble”

“a few times now I've had a pillow or seat hit and roll the digital crown as I moved, causing the volume to change.”

“There's no power button on the AirPods Max. They rely on being in the smart case to enter low-powered mode.”

“she preferred the sound of my voice when using the Focals more than when I use the Apple AirPods Max.”

“The AirPods Max microphones perform well when connected to Apple devices, but they don't do a great job of blocking out background noise when connected to other devices.”
