I agree these are expensive head phones, and I go back and forth myself on whether I can justify the cost of these myself, but there are a lot of expensive things out there in the world, and if there are enough people that think they’re worth it then more power to them and Apple. If the market

That sounds like somehow you got the sample of spatial audio started. If oddities like that happen again, try the reset by holding the digital crown and the noise cancelation buttons down for several seconds until it reboots, and it will disconnect from the phone temporarily until it comes up

RE: Apple Airpods Max, review after a few hours

Yes, look what has happened with the original Homepod that Apple has now discontinued. I’ve heard the Bose QC headphones, and I have an older pair of the Plantronics BeatSense headphones, and for sound quality and design, the Apple Airpods Max are far superior to my ears. Note, to my ears. I

Airpods max observations

Hello, Just started using my AirPods Max seriously yesterday. I have had some interesting anomalies. First of all, when I installed the latest update on the phone, I had the headphones on. When the phone re-started, the headphones did not automatically connect. That was not a surprise. However,

Richard thank you very much for the demonstration. When the dictation switched over to your SE, it was very eye-opening as to why Siri had such a difficult time transcribing our dictated messages properly. What a difference the AirPod max mix. Hopefully, Apple will fix the 17 second switch

Well, resetting my Air Pods Max has helped. I did have to remove and re-pair my Pods. What is different now is that when I switch the Sound Source on my PC to the Pods, they switch over immediately. That was not the case before. Things are humming along well now. Thanks Richard. Best, Les

Well Simon, if you make up your mind based on a handful of reports of difficulty with a new product then you may find you cut yourself out of a possitive experience. Some of the issues, at least for me, were user error. But, given the cost in NZ, I certinly would not buy them without an absolute
