What's special about AirPods Max?
Apple AirPods Max headphones. While these may be astonishingly high priced, there are a few things one can surely take into consideration. No doubt, there are other headphones in the same price range from Sennheiser and Sony in years past, and none of them have this kind of build quality. So much of this thing is made out of metal, so naturally, it's heavier than plastic stuff.
On comparing the AirPods Max to the other high-end headphones, these are vastly superior in terms of overall sound reproduction when you listen to them on a device that is optimized for them, such as an iPad or the iPhone. Spatial Audio, a way of virtualizing surround sound 3D theater audio using headphones and processed using the wirelessly connected iPhone and iPad system's unique software capabilities, is astounding. Effects come from all directions around your head. If you move your head, the sound positioning changes. This feature is possible from using an integrated gyroscope and an accelerometer built into the device and certainly adds to the build costs.
The dynamic range and the 3D audio effect reproduction of these things are flat-out incredible. You can adjust EQ with a fine-tune for pre-amp, individual frequency response ranges, as well as with genre presets for things like Classic Rock. On iOS, you can set music genre equalization profiles only, within Settings > Apple Music. For Video content, the headsets use Apple's Dynamic EQ feature, which is what is used system-wide by default for all apps on iOS and macOS.
The AirPods Max is not designed to be used for heavy voice conferencing like the Jabra or Plantronics stuff. They have no dedicated boom mics. The integrated microphones are intended primarily for use with Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency. The advertised battery life of 20 hours seems to be correct. As with other AirPods devices, the AirPods Max can switch between iPhone, iPad, and MacOS automatically. It's a cool feature that takes some getting used to, especially if you've never owned AirPods devices before.
As impressive as the AirPods Max sound on both iOS and MacOS, the Mac currently does not currently take advantage of all of the features of these very expensive headphones Dynamic EQ on a Mac I am pretty sure works, but that's an automatic feature on iOS as well; no button exists in the Control Center that turns Spatial Audio on (like on an iPhone or iPad). Unfortunately, the Spatial Audio surround sound feature that makes the price of admission worth it, isn't supported on a Mac. It may be because the digital signal processing that needs to be done doesn't exist in MacOS yet, or it is a hardware limitation of x86 chips. If you use AirPods Max with a non-Apple device, like with a streaming product that has Bluetooth, such as Chromecast with Google TV, or the Amazon Fire Sticks, etc., none of this stuff is going to work; it will only work as a basic headset so that’s a set back there. Even then, Apple has the software development expertise to deeply integrate with iOS or even Android and provide a full surround sound theater experience like this.
if someone buys them and likes them,they are clearly worth it to them.
