Are you willing to part ways with these cool R8k AirPods Max
Johannesburg, South Africa
If you have a big love for Apple, the latest gadgets or deep pockets you should take a look at AirPods Max.
They are a luxury purchase with refreshing audio, bold active noise cancellation (ANC) and spectacular Spatial Audio for watching movies.
What you need to know:
The AirPods Max undoubtedly play in the premium sector of the consumer headphones space. As such, they deliver satisfying sound that hits the right notes, top-notch noise cancellation, best-in-class transparency and a killer home-entertainment audio mode. It feels like you are not wearing headphones at all.
The AirPods Max’s high price tag becomes a bit more reasonable when you understand the materials being used here. AirPods Max feel incredible in your hands and on your head even if they are a bit heavy at 384 grams.
Aluminum, stainless steel and the knit band come together for an eye catching design that is comfortable. This type of design is rare in the headphone space, and suggests a level of durability and longevity that justifies the high price. Though keep in mind, these aren’t for working out, as the AirPods Max lack sweat or water resistance.
Each stainless steel ear cup is attached on a pivot system to the arms of the AirPods Max and is easy to adjust. Since the earcups can sit in a plethora of positions, it allows them to make a seal around the ear with a variety of head shapes.
You won’t feel strong pressure from aluminum or stainless steel as the earcups facing your ears are made from a memory foam cushion. This is more malleable than what you will see on other headphones and quickly bounces back up.
The real clutch feature of the design is that the cushion portion of the earcups are attached magnetically. With a little tug you can pop them off for proper cleaning and if they get worn down after a few years, Apple does sell replacements for a steep R1k.
The outside of the ear cups also contains many cutouts both for vents and microphones. There are nine total microphones on AirPods Max for noise cancellation and other use cases. The right ear cup is a bit more packed with a Lightning port and LED indicator, an action button and the Digital Crown.
