Apple AirPods Max are the best headphones I've ever used! (alien.top)

So, last year I decided I really wanted a pair of over the head headphones (I usually use AirPods), but obviously tried a bunch of them out. I have many friends with Bose, Sony, and Beats headphones- but none in my opinion had the same kind of sound quality that the Max's had- with only the Sony XM5's coming close imo. While they are an extremely premium product especially for headphones that usually range from 100-500, I think they're totally worth it. They're incredibly easy to clean, comfortable, made with high quality materials, and the sound is truly truly amazing- especially with the Dolby Atmos feature on Apple Music. SO amazing.

I don't know if this thread was a big shill for the fruit company, but after using some Airpods "MAX" I will say they suck and are muddy af and the microphones are terrible. They are exactly the gen 1 Apple product I try to stay away from but at half price used I took the plunge.

Will I sell them, well no. They seem like the perfect airport headset. Plenty of "I don't want to talk with you" plainly visible with quality ANC for those noisy occasions.

Spent most of today enjoying the LCD-X/Quidlex combo, infinitely superior in every way.
