The Airpods Max here in Canada are $779 + taxes, since in Ontario you have 15% HST that means you would pay $ 895.85 for them. The Airpods Pro are $329 + taxes and the Airpods Third Gen are $239 + taxes, still 274.85. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of mich

I use my bose NC700 headphones. They sound very good to me. I've been using a set of anker headphones lately, and they also work very well when listening to audio dramas, or bard books. It all depends on what you can afford. I'm not saying that I'd never purchase a pair of airpods max, but

I agree with that, but it also depends on whether you are talking about technology which is what I would call essential and technology which is less so. I need my iPhone for many things every day so it better be in top shape, but while for me a set of wired Earbuds are essential, a $700

True, and a very good point. This is why I don't presume to tell people what they should or shouldn't do and whether a particular product is worth the money or not. In addition to not knowing what other people's financial situation is, I also don't know how important different features are to

I like the Sony WH1000XM4. It is very comfortable. Has great sound. Normally retails for $349 US. However, I got a Black Friday deal for two of them for my wife and I. They were $100 off for several weeks over the holidays. Merv > On Jan 1, 2022, at 10:07 AM, Anthony Vece wrote: > >

A statement which very rarely applies to technology because whatever passes me by will be better in a year or two. A good example would be the Airpods, if I wanted to buy a set I'd much rather buy them now than when they first came out 4 or whatever years ago because I know I'd be replacing

I also agree. The AirPods max are really good. My concern about them is the same as my concern about any other high-end earphone which depends on batteries. Batteries die. That’s also a problem with high-end Bluetooth speakers, like my beloved HomePods which Apple no longer makes. I remember

I totally agree with Richard. I just got my AirPod max for Christmas. I think they sound absolutely awesome. There is no lag. And they have solved the sleeping issues. I think the noise canceling is probably better on the AirPod max in the balls. Also, the design of the ear cup is really pretty
