Airpods max day, one review so a little bit of that ground. I don't the AirPods pro pretty much since they came out. It'S probably my favorite pair of headphones. Ever I've tried it starts higher quality headphones as soon as there make some nice open backs. I can appreciate it for like short sessions of listening an hour or less. I try not a couple times and if, like headphone jacks and wired headphones were still a realistic option, I would consider just trying to max out absolutely best audio quality possible. Investing in a nice set of headphones but AirPods Pro have a great next features: fast: wireless pairing, decent battery life, durability, portability, wireless charging, really great noise cancellation and perfect ergonomics around the touch controls. It'S like, I said the my favorite pair of headphones. I'Ve ever owned. Even though I'd say there's a little bit to be desired in audio quality and if I'm being honest you you compare it to any of that over your headphones back to back you're gon na notice, the difference. So I tested the AirPods Max a few times. A short like 10 minute sessions - I wasn't as impressed as I hoped I would be either time like, maybe after this four times up, but they do deliver a better range and then the pro special overtime I like low and high that's pretty much nonexistent on the Pros the trouble is after using these for a day, the economics are just trash, comparing to the pros like the overall experience of using the pros is 10 out of 10, but the max is like: let's eat cow 30 %, higher quality audio, but you're gon na Lose a lot. This is gutless like OK, so stupid. He probably heard that before and the buttons are in a weird place, the headphones don't really fit had. It will stay on as I'm perfectly still sitting down and even if I'm perfectly still sitting down like working on the move, my glasses around the current I saw they move around the point where, like I have to remove the headphones, adjust my glasses, replace them, adjust Them again, oh that's kind of annoying. My ears get hot and sweaty after an hour, so last night I have to take them off. For some reason, noise cancellation is turned back on every time. I start listening session and I can't really find an option and fix that. I guess that's a minor issue, though I am I don't know thing is like you. I definitely feel like a dinosaur charge in the sense of the lightning cable and like just sitting them down like you, turn the headphones to lay flat. They like that and the metal bits bang up against each other or you have to kind of like sit them down askew and we are away it's it's kind of odd feeling, but you know maybe that can be solved with a stand or something like that trouble Is the sound quality is way better and I could appreciate that and stay like a nice set of wired open boxer, maybe 20 % better than us. I'D still rather sacrifice that 20 % for serve wireless headphones, but the entire experience of owning and using these headphones. Just doesn't feel as polished as the AirPods Pro I'm gon na give it a few more days, but I don't think this is going to work out.
