The AirPods Max’s Absolute Bullsh*t

Why, Apple?

I’m late to the party.

The AirPods Max were released in Dec 2020, and I’ve bought them just a couple of days ago. Anyways,

I’m super-excited of getting my first headphones ever. What’s more exciting is: they’re Apple. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Their

• Sound Quality,
• Noise Cancellation & Transparency, and
• the iconic Spatial Audio

are simply superb.

Pros aside, but here are some things of AirPods Max that feel absolutely absurd and annoyed me to the hell.

#1. The “Smart” Case

Perhaps Apple considers a plain case with two fringe magnets, a “smart” case.

Okay, no judgement.

Unlike other headphone cases, the AirPods Max’s case doesn’t fully protect the pods.

Though the pods get covered, they aren’t immune to falls. And the headband’s flimsy mesh still gets exposed out anyway.
