This is how Apple defines the new AirPods Max (not Studio): “The perfect balance between amazing high-fidelity sound and the magical ease of use of AirPods. The definitive headphones are here. After much gossiping with them, we already have for sale and nothing more than for the modest price of 629 euros, Apple's new supra-aural headphones that aim to give a twist to the way of listening and understanding headphones.
Just in time for Christmas, and almost by surprise they come the new fully high-end over-ear headphones, at least for the price, from Apple. With many features, none of them innovative and with a totally typical Apple design. We have the AirPods Max on sale today at an almost scandal price. For 629 euros you will have them at home, with the possibility of a free engraving.
The AirPods Max features Apple's latest H1 chip with support for spatial audio, automatic device switching, and much more. They are available in five colors (Space Gray, Silver, Green, Sky Blue and Pink) and include a high-quality smart sleeve that puts the headphones in an ultra-low power state that helps preserve battery power when not in use. .

Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), describes them in more detail As follows:
From the canopy to the ear cushions, every part of AirPods Max is carefully designed to provide exceptional acoustic performance for every user. The breathable knit mesh canopy, which encompasses the headband, is made to distribute weight and reduce pressure on the head. The stainless steel headband frame provides strength, flexibility and comfort for a wide variety of head shapes and sizes. The headband's telescopic arms extend smoothly and stay in place to maintain the desired fit.
Adaptive EQ allows AirPods Max to adjust the sound to fit and seal the ear pads. This works by measuring the sound signal delivered to a user and adjusting the low and mid frequencies in real time. The AirPods Max also include a Digital Crown on the side, inspired by the Apple Watch, to control volume and playback. including support for pausing, skipping, answering and / or ending phone calls, and activating Siri.
Up to 20 hours of high fidelity audio, talk time or movie playback with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled. There's also support for head detection, so AirPods Max can intelligently detect when they are placed on a user's head and pause playback when removed.
greg joswiak, Apple's vice president of marketing, mentions the AirPods Max like this:
AirPods are the world's most popular headphones, loved for their effortless setup, incredible sound quality, and iconic design. With AirPods Max, we're bringing that magical airPods experience into a stunning over-ear design with high-fidelity audio. Custom acoustic design, combined with powerful H1 chips, and advanced software enable AirPods Max to use computational audio to deliver the best personal listening experience wirelessly.
They certainly have to speak highly of these headphones. They were born with the intention of putting the greats in these categories on the ropes such as Sony, Sennheiser, Bosé etc. Now, I don't know if the price will make many people think about buying them now. First we will wait to see what the opinions of the experts are like and more exquisite users and then we will have to assess whether it is really worth spending this fortune on headphones.
Are you going to buy them? It would be a good gift for Christmas there is no doubt
There was a time when the extra cost in Apple products could be justified (or not) since there was nothing like it in the market or what there was did not reach the sole of the shoe either in design, performance or both. . But these times have passed. It is no longer the innovative company that was always one step ahead and that everyone copied.
These are mid / high-end headphones, but they are not the best in their field, much less the only ones, like many other products of the company.
This on the one hand, but on the other: I am fed up with the fact that the Apple song and prices are always carried on. People who find it the most normal thing to spend an indecent amount of money on such a car, a shirt like that, the clock or the TV in their living room, fill their mouths pretending that the products of a brand that is and will be always expensive, very expensive, have popular prices.
