    Lily-Rose, 07 Jan 202110k? I don't think so. If we go for the MacBook Pro, a... more... Heh... Still too much... And still you cannot use them at their max paired with something else... So what's the point? People don't want to spend so much and we prefere a company that really cares!

            Gru, 07 Jan 2021Agree with you.. The ecosystem is okay-ish.. But again... T... more10k? I don't think so. If we go for the MacBook Pro, an iPhone 12 Pro max, AirPods Max, Apple Watch 6, iPad Pro 12.9, Apple TV 4K, and lets say 2 HomePods and 2 minis, we comfortably come in at under $6000 - and this is if we buy only 'pro' models when possible. If we go new but more price effective options, we can come in at under $3000 easily while still vigorously utilising the apple ecosystem.

When you think about it on a business perspective it makes perfect sense. From the reviews the sound quality and noise cancelling is on par as well. But I am happy with my QC35 first gen.

                      Almand, 07 Jan 2021Makes perfect sense if you are only considering sound. Appl... moreAgree with you.. The ecosystem is okay-ish.. But again... That means we have to spend like 10k $ to access it properly. Think about it... Laptop, headphones, tablet, phone, speakers, TV and so on... Damn apple is greedy and it attacks your freedom. As long as you don't want your product to work to the max combined with others.... That's an attack to the humankind freewill....


                      I'll stick with SONY... way on top of apple about flexibility and care about planet and human rights.

                      Bless you

                        Anonymous, 07 Jan 2021Wireless headphones are supposed to be portable and used on... moreThat is very true. I think heavy headphones are quite uncomfortable too, so even for high-end wired headphones I think they should aim to be light.

                          Gru, 06 Jan 2021Water spring includes in these ones? You gotta be so unedu... moreMakes perfect sense if you are only considering sound. Apple eco system and how well it would play with all your Apple products should be considered. For someone like that, this would make sense to buy at 350/- i think 🤔

                            Anonymous, 07 Jan 2021Wireless headphones are supposed to be portable and used on... moreThey are non foldable as well. A literal nightmare to carry.

                              Awaiting for the new Headphones of Apple, since I do not like to have Heat Weight at any time. I’am Waiting......

                                AnonF-964910, 06 Jan 2021Heaviest headphone on the market? Sure maybe for bluetooth ... moreWireless headphones are supposed to be portable and used on the move. Therefore the weight matters more than if you were at home using wired headphones

                                  AnonD-889996, 06 Jan 2021So they want this AirPods Max Lite to be unveiled, and forg... moreiPhone 5c flopped because they just replaced the iPhone 5 but made it plastic and charged the same price they would have for the 5. These will be a cheaper alternative to the AirPods max more akin to the iPhone XR which was a success for apple. All I ask for is that they give them some sort of sweat resistance and aim them more as a sports variant

                                    Lesser build quality?! Anyone who KNOWS anything about headphones will tell you why the top quality and comfort headphones have the cups in plastic/polymer. And the condensation, that the laughable AirPods Max suffer, is at the bottom of the consideration when picking the cups material.

                                      This should fix the condensation problem in the pricier pair as well, however £300 it's still quite expensive for some headphones, but more on par with things like Sony alternatives.

                                        why buy apple headphones for $500 when you can buy premium headphones like sennsheiser, bose, marshall, harman kardon, pioneer or marley?
