ok that looks fugly.

Yes, and Oppo/Vivo/etc will copy as well.

still remember AirPods?

I think I am waiting for an AirPods Studio. But I still might get the AirPods Pro version 2.0

No idea when that is... but I just want to EARN MORE MONEY FIRST!!!

was hoping for this to drop today, instead Fitness+ is launched. Oh, iOS 14.3 is arriving on coming Monday.

Well well well Look at what we have here!

Can get 2 sets of XM4s for that price.

And that smart case is ugly

And it lacks a 3.5mm port man. Could’ve been a versatile headphone but its Apple.

Westlife not around to open new thread this time.

They should have stick with the name AirPods Studio. AirPods Max sounds weird.

Exactly, hahaha. Couple that with the exorbitant price it’s hard to see who would buy except for true blue Apple fans.

Maybe he not inspired to start the thread, hahaha...

The carrying case looks weird 😅

It's a handbag for men and women

Paying USD549 with no apple logo . looks like a generic headset

but why the name Airpods though

Their portable speakers also named homepod, homepod mini

Seriously fugly, and from the slim design, its not gonna sound good

For me the design of the case is worst!

Hahaha! Perfect! My point exactly.

Murah.

Hahaha now every men and women can carry a purse. 😅

If it doesn't have a 3.5mm port, they won't be selling the cable as an option. I think it has one.

Apparently it uses the lightning to 3.5mm cable

hahahah... the ol iPhone trick.

Serious audiophiles won't consider a pair of headphones without the 3.5mm jack in most cases

550 usd.

You can replace the ear cups.

You can replace the battery.

This thing can last for more than a decade if you are really going to max out that good expensive tech

These days I've seen some funny pictures and comments about the Airpods Max. Maybe not for me.

Best for rich people.

From Machines fb: "AirPods Max coming soon to Machines."

Thinking of buying this .. hmmm ..

No news of when it is coming.... sad....

I love trying new things. Most reviewers say it’s better overall than the Sony XM4. The case is weird though. Should’ve just include a standard EVA hard shell case for the asking price.

Yeah.. still not available at Malaysia store yet .. soon .. soon ..

For those that want wired.

The online reviews are quite good actually, even for the expensive price.

The Verge: Apple Airpod Max Review

RM2,399 MYR price online at Apple Store Malaysia.

Yeah...the price was there quite some time ago already. Just wanna know when will it be available physically in the stores to test them out

it wouldnt be soon. It is soldout in SG while ordering from SG Apple online store taking delivery somewhere around end of Feb. Probably come into Malaysia market around Feb-Mac.

Damn. My love for this is growing despite the bra case.

it's coming!

i try the sound, it was like WAHHHH, really amazing. The apple staff was playing the 4D sound sample, i thought why there is noise coming from my back, truly worth the money

I am honestly not even concerned about the price. Judging from the my experiences with HomePod, AirPods etc I’m pretty confident it is well worth it.

The only frustration is I am not able to buy it yet!
😭😭😭😭

Read some news that some users experienced condensation in the Airpods Max even when they're not in cold weather.

Now I'm not sure if this is really a flaw in their product

It's maybe the users getting so excited by the great sound so they sweat all over the Airpods Max. Probably cannot share these with friends during COVID times.

Go place your order, get in March

The waiting game! 🙃

Local stores already carry stocks, not sure how long need to wait but..

Pulled the trigger nevertheless.

That waiting time tho hahahaha

I guess ill wait for another 1.5 months before pulling the trigger, maybe the airpods pro 2 will be announced by then also who knows 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Seems like only local Apple retailers will have ready stocks (might be wrong). Apple website itself will be 8-10 weeks.

AirPods Pro 2 might be Q1 2021, so hopefully around March this year. But both fit different purposes thou, you’re considering one over another or both together? 🤪

I asked my friend who is working with one of the apple retailers, he said they indeed have AirPods Max in stock, but very limited.
So if you managed to order one, you will get it really soon. Enjoy!

Same day delivery.

Feels good, smells good, sounds good.

Just got mine today too, sounds amazing, i'll rate it slightly above the xm3s in terms build, acoustics.

That's fast. I ordered from Machines. Seems that same day delivery is not available. They say that the order will be fulfilled in 3 -5 working days (free shipping).

Edit: Just checked the Machines online store. Seems that they are sold out.

Please lookout for those condensation issues fpr us ok?

I ordered from Switch and opted for Lalamove delivery.

But was shocked when the staff called me to arrange for delivery today lol.

Machines delivery is always slower, based on my experience. I’ve ordered the Lightning to 3.5mm cable from Machines, since they are the only one carrying it. Hopefully you’ll get yours in a few day’s time.

Doubt it will occur here in Malaysia. We don’t have winter / cold season, so highly doubtful it will happen.

Actually i prefer earphones, can use at gym compared to this airpods max hehehe

But i would probably wait till i text the airpods max first tho before deciding

How about when it is hot outside and aircond inside?

I tested this yesterday in an aircond room with about 2-3 hours continuous usage - no issues at all.

I guess your temperature has to be of a certain degree to achieve that, for tropical country like us, I would say its a safe bet. Been talking to a few people on Reddit who experienced this issue as well, they’re from colder climate location.

But yes I do agree that its a design flaw from Apple’s part. The aluminium body will create water vapor under certain temperatures and exposure to heat + cold will cause this effect.

Note to self - don’t use it at the gym. Hence why the AirPods Pros are still my go-to in the gym.

Thanks for the confirmation. How about the weight itself?

i happened to put an order yesterday, suddenly, out of stock for space grey.. left green. then i just skip. haha.

Its a tad heavier to hold on hand, but when you wear it it’s quite evenly distributed due to the headband.

I can still feel it heavier on the sides, but not much on the top part - which is good so I don’t feel any pressure on my head, unlike other ANC headphones.

Thanks again. Well, made up my mind. Will try to find ready stock at Machines now and see if I get lucky to secure a pair.

Finally got mine today.

Congrats!

On a side note, I have a rant to make.

So the AirPods Max does not come with a Lightning to 3.5mm cable which is usually given together with the headphones (based on my experience with Sony WH1000XM4 and Bose 700).

I need to fork out RM199 for an additional cable which is pretty expensive for a non-gold plated, non-braided cable to connect to my non-Bluetooth devices.

I figured that this is the part I don’t like about Apple. The price to quality ratio is not there for this cable - its the same quality you get from the standard EarPods cables. Disappointing.

Saw the article below...not sure if this is a real problem. Anyone gotten their airpods max mind to share?

Airpods draining battery

Ordered space grey from apple online on 18th Jan (Monday), with original delivery estimate of 4-5 weeks (19/02-25/02). Received notification it shipped out from Singapore on Wednesday and my AirPods Max arrived this morning To those who may be turned off from the long delivery estimate online, just give it a shot you might get them early Ordered the lightning>3.5mm cable as well but they have yet to ship.

I’m not an audiophile but I do enjoy my music. Bluetooth earphones/headphones that I’ve been using regularly using prior to getting the Max are:
- AirPods Pro (most used - for general listening, daily commutes, calls, short haul flights).
- Beats Powerbeats Pro (gym & indoor workouts)
- Bose QC35II (mainly for long haul flights, listening at home, wired connection to my digital piano & drums)
- Aftershokz Trekz Air (for outdoor cycling/running)

First impressions - so far after 3 hours of use I’m loving them, but there are some quirks.
> Sounds much better than Bose QC35II.
> Build quality is top notch.
> Noticeably heavier than Bose QC35II. Still getting used to the heavier weight, I still have to take them off every now and then to let my ears breathe. There’s pressure on the ears from the clamping, I hope this would get better over time.
> Noticeable difference when playing from Spotify (320kbps High Quality) vs Apple Music. Music from Apple Music sounds waaay better (more clarity, max volume is louder) on the AirPods Max.
> Can’t really test out difference for noise cancellation yet as I’m already in a relatively quiet environment. The ultimate test would be on a flight, which I have no idea yet when I’ll be flying next The AirPods Max, Bose QC35II and AirPods Pro are all equally good at blocking out the (not-so-loud) outdoor street traffic sounds from my 10th floor apartment.
> Transparency mode sounds very natural.
> The bra case sucks and is pretty much useless. I won’t be able to store the Lightning>3.5mm cable together with the case. With the Bose QC35, I could easily store the included cables and even pop in my AirPods Pro together in the case. Gonna get a third-party case for the AirPods Max once cheaper ones are in the market, but this isn’t a high priority yet coz I don’t think I’ll be travelling anytime soon.

Wow. That was fast!!! 4 working days!

Give Tidal Master a try, you’ll be amazed.

Yeah I was surprised myself! Didn’t expect to get it so soon. I’ve been reading on MacRumors forum, supplies for the space grey & silver models seem to be available so maybe that’s why i got it early.

Just cancelled my order for the 3.5mm>Lightning cable coz I found one in stock at Switch BSC today.

Thanks for your suggestion! Just subscribed to the 1
month free trial I hope I don’t get hooked to it, already paying for both spotify & apple music, too many subscriptions haha.

Just made my order for Space Grey too! Hopefully can arrive within 4 working days.

Had the weirdest battery drain last night.

Putting it in the case at 70% battery, this morning wanted to use it and the battery dropped to 20%.

Have already reset it twice, still occurring.

Well. Seems like you are not alone.

https://youtu.be/l0UPYSCmt90

Seriously one of the best im so in to Apple because their commercial branding advertising are so fucking good.

The products? ok la.

Guys. Machines just release new stock for Airpodmax. Right now only Silver left.

Hows the sounds comparing to airpods pro?

Very limited stocks

I missed the chance 2 days back but early morning today I manage to grab from machine. Silver color. Probably last unit as it went unavailable after my purchase. Hope to receive mine soon.

Miles better, soundstage wise.

Transparency mode is more natural as well.

anyone buy from machine? normally how long they start shipping? i placed order around 12am today (early morning) but yet to shipped. Had the chance to choose same day delivery but i did not ..

2-3 working days, depending on their availability. I once had to wait 4 days for them to ship out.

Bought mine from Apple Store 22/1 evening, and i got it delivered to me today eventhough estimated delivered show early March.

Yesssss....Finally.

No problem with condensation for me so far.

oh.. good to know that

Is the issue serious? You're using it in different temperature rooms?

Hi sifu here , May I know the serial numbers for MY set?

not sure if this is a serious issue, but it pretty much widely reported in the internet. I'm using it in A/C room. Also read about this is a common for over-ear headphones but since most of other brands don't have removable ear cup most user don't even noticed it.
