While the Apple brand had accustomed us to large conferences or, since the pandemic, precise videos with very elaborate effects. But ultimately it was a simple press release that launchedthe AirPods Maxin the deep end. Apple's very first audio headset was therefore launched, somewhat anonymously, but it quickly made noise.
On the day of its launch, after the astonishment came the moment of incomprehension. How can a headset that doesn't appear to feature revolutionary technology be worth €629? Many then thought that the price of the AirPods Max was excessive, and they passed on.
And yet the headset seems to do its job very well. The first feedback on the product is starting to arrive and most experts are quite satisfied with the performance of the latter, given its price.
Positive reviews, but there is always a but
The first point that comes up in most of the reviews given about this headset is that it is extremely well finished. The addition of stainless steel in place of plastic is “kilometers ahead” of the competition, according to Boardiesboi, a reader of the Macrumors site who was among the first to give his opinion on Apple's headset. Still according to this same source, the active noise reduction of the headphones would be much better than on models like the Bose QuietComfort 35 II, or the Sony WH-1000XM4, to which it has often been compared.
But not all reviews are so positive about Apple's headset. Still on the Macrumors forum, some users complain about the weight of Apple's headset, which would make it uncomfortable. Others criticize the support on the ears that the headset produces, which is one of its strong points announced by Apple. In fact, the Apple brand offered memory foam cushions in order to have the best possible experience.
A good helmet, worth the price?
In the end, the reviews around Apple's new headset are generally good, all users who have had the opportunity to wear the headset recognize that it is a high-end product, with comfort and sound quality. certain. But some may find that the price charged by Apple for the product is too high given the very small difference that exists between this model and the competition.Anyway, the AirPods Max seems to be selling very well, today the delivery dates have been pushed back by 12 to 14 weeks according to the Apple online store. For those who are impatient, it is possible to obtain an AirPods Max in a physical Apple Store.
