The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't use it when the
device is locked. Unless there's a way to get that working that I
haven't discovered? hahaha

Well, of course Apple TV stuff has it. And I believe I saw where Hulu
has it. I should go double check, because I know there’s at least one
other service that has it. I heard it the little sample when you go in
for the AirPods Pro, you can just hear a little sample of what it
sounds like. And it’s very impressive. So I’m thinking that if it gets
adopted on a wider scale, it could be quite awesome. Of course maybe
competing services won’t go for it, but why not?

Hi richard,
Well, I don’t like things in Myers either. I hesitated a lot before
buying the AirPods Pro. But I did buy them, and they are amazing for
what they are. I don’t have issues with them in my ears. They stay.
They have a nice wide soundstage. And they have spacial audio which,
if others would get on board with it would be awesome.

Hi Mary,
No, I never bought the Airpods. I do not like things in my ears. I
will use the wired earphones that come with iPhones, but I prefer
headphones that go over the ear.
The ear cups on these are big enough that they fit over my ears so
that they sit on the side of my head without touching my ears.
I guess that is why when the noise cancelation is on, you are
really in your own little world.
I decided to designate some of UNCLE Sam's gift toward these.
O, and the bluetooth lag while I am writing this with MBraille is
not noticeable.

Interesting, richard. I really want these, but the price is out of
my range, seeing as how my husband is retiring in a couple of
months and won’t be getting Social Security for another year. So
I’ll wait for a sale. Smile. Do you have AirPods Pro? I ask
because I do have those, and I’ve been very impressed with spacial
audio, but it’s not available very many places. I think if it
catches on, the AirPods Max could be absolutely stunning.

I received the Airpods Max today and unboxed them and was
surprised how very sturdy and solid they feel. I know, I've
heard about them, but holding them in your hands for the first
time, everything about them screams quality!
Now, everything I have read about the "smart case" which some
people call the "smart pouch", and I have heard some say "Smart
Bra"; but I would go with pouch. I don't know if they changed
the material, but the descriptions I had heard made me think I
was going to have a mesh kind of thing that was kind of stretchy
like the afore mention article of women's clothing. However,
this one feels like polyurethane, or even silicon. My wife says
it still looks odd, and with the headphones in it, more like a
purse, but it appears to be quite sturdy. I gather it has no
charge of its own, it just tells the headphones to go into a deep
sleep…
Now, as for the headphones themselves…
I am quite seriously impressed! Yes, they are heavier than the
average headphones but so well designed you don't notice that
much after putting them on.
Yes, they are warm. It will be interesting when the warm weather
hits how much I'll want to have them on.
But, if you want amazingly good sound, that kind of just works
with Apple, they are fabulous!
One thing I am very pleased about is what they call Transparency
Mode.
There are 6 microphones on the outside of the headphones. While
you are listening over Bluetooth to your Apple device, if you
turn on Transparency mode, those microphones allow you to hear
the outside world without diminishing the sound quality of
whatever you are listening to. Unlike other things I have had
that tried to do that, the sound is in stereo. So, if someone
speaks to you from your left side, you hear it on your left side.
Those microphones are used to assist with the noise cancelation
mode so it can tell what the outside noise is and counteract it.
So, when Noise Cancelation is on, the world is pretty much
blocked out.
I have some Sonos speakers on my desk and when my wife turned on
the TV in the living room, the sound came over my speakers.
Well, I turned on Noise Cancelation, and heard nothing of the TV
while I was listening to some music. Between songs, I could tell
something was on in the far background, but not enough to
identify it or be bothered by it.
Now, about the $35 cable to allow you to plug them into a
standard 3.5 MM earphone jack like on Windows computers, Victor
Readers, etc. It is over price. But, while you do not get the
fidelity you get over Bluetooth when it is running all of it
processes, they sound fine for speech when plug into my Dell
laptop. I have to turn the volume up on the computer or the
headphones since they take more power to drive them, but I could
see myself using them with the computer for Jaws.
They apparently do have to be charged to use them with the cable
even. Unlike my old Plantronics Beat Sense headphones that can
be used with the cable even if the battery is dead.
But an interesting note about the Transparency Mode when using
them with the cable. There appears to be at least one microphone
on the right ear that works all the time when the cable is
plugged in. But, if you press the button that toggles to
Transparency Mode, all the microphones come on. It is nowhere
near as loud or clear as when on Bluetooth, but you can hear
what's happening around you more than with it off.
I plan to run them through their paces and see how long the
battery does last.
There are only two buttons on the right ear. They are on the top
on either side of the bar that goes over your head.
The one on the side of the bar nearest your face is a
rectangular/oval button that toggles between Noise Cancelation
and Transparency Mode.
The one on the other side of the bar is the round, Digital
Crown. Like a large version of the one on the watch. That is
used for volume, pausing and playing, and holding it to ask siri.
That is all I know so far.
