We continue to dig into the new AirPods Max, the high-end headphones that the company launched late last year. Knowing the existing condensation problems in almost all units sold, it is now known that The guarantee of these helmets does not include the pads with clear exceptions. We are talking about headphones of 629 euros and that Apple hides itself in putting obstacles to users. This is not the time and certainly not the device for it.
We know that Apple's AirPods Max headphones are next-generation devices but that they suffer from some shortcomings. For example, the problem of condensation inside headphones is known. It is also known that lacks the U1 chip And now we know that if we want to dip into the company's warranty on this device, the pads are not included.
9to5Mac user Damien Menn shared a couple of images showing what the AirPods Max warranty replacement process looks like. Damien experienced a problem with the Digital Crown on the AirPods Max and Apple replaced the pair of headphones, with one exception. The headphone replacements Apple sent Damien did not include replacement ear pads. What Apple relies on is that you should use your damaged AirPods Max earbuds and use them with your new pair. This makes sense, considering that Apple sells a set of pads for AirPods Max on your own for € 79.

This strategy differs from the existing one for the AirPods Pro. Apple includes replacement silicone tips with replacements under the warranty, although it also sells them separately, although at a much more affordable price.
We return to the issue of whether you are interested in hiring Apple Care for AirPods Max. It seems that it is a good idea, for everything that is emerging around them.
