Just bought the AirPods Max out of curiosity, and they suck.

Sound is mid - I almost prefer the small AirPods Pro

(I daily drive Sennheiser 490 Pro with an iFi Zen DAC 3, and that's good)

Comfort is low-mid

- Cups are small, and I don’t have large/weird ears

- Clamp force is too high

- Heavy for wireless headphones

Issues with non-Apple devices when you want stereo and mic use

Build quality is good but scratches easily

They have to be in the purse to stop (otherwise they eat battery)

The purse’s handles are the actual headphones (easy to get dirty)

I love Apple products, but boy was this a flop, especially at this price point. ~$590
