I don’t even know how to say this politely, so I’ll just start from the beginning.. Apple’s AirPods Max are the most frustrating piece of hardware that I’ve ever wanted to almost love… There, I got it out of my chest.
Let me explain,.. I travel a lot,.. 150,000 miles a year kind of a lot. It’s been the story of my life since I was 3, and for the past 20 years, it’s a sort of requirement I’ve set before taking any job. I’ve always been kind of like that George Clooney character in Up In The Air, where I only buy toiletries in small packages, I spend insane amounts of money in specific kinds of luggage just because they’re easier to drag, and I use Peak Design bags and tripods almost exclusively because of the amount of thought that’s put in to making them compact.
Point is, I value ergonomics, practicality and thoughtfulness before buying any product, and I’m willing to spend more for it. Obviously with this pandemic we all had to take a break from travel, but it’s the main reason I felt the only way to finalize the review of these Max correctly, was to wait until I could fly again with them. Sound should be one of the most important reasons for you to buy a pair of headphones, but for anyone willing to spend so much money, it’s not everything. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow, and let’s dive in.
