Disappointed
After reading all the topics on Reddit I felt for the Amazon deal and ordered the AirPods Max 2. I was so excited because I was eyeing for this headphone since version 1. I already have AirPods Pro 3 which I really like and Beats Studio Pro that I also like. It only lacks some bass. Reading the bass was improved was an extra pro for the AirPods Max because I like deep bass.
Today I received the APM 2 and I immediately tested my favoriten songs and I just was not impressed. I also A/B tested with the Beats with 2 iphones and the same number simultaneously. I can say the soundstage of the AirPods Max is wider and cleaner but the difference wasn’t as big as I hoped.
Also the headphone got warm very quick so in the summer I don’t think I would wear this often. And I think the Beats Studio Pro looks nicer on my head. The AirPods seems more bulky compared to the Beats.
Maybe with the EQ in the future it will be better but I don’t wanna bet on that right now.
I just put them back in the Amazon box and will return them unfortunately. I am also thinking that the hype is mostly from people justifying the investment they made and I fell for it (as usual :D). So I hope my point of view will benefit someone also on the fence buying this product.
