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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ordered from where ?
