Fans BLAST Apple for its 'expensive' $549 AirPods Max 2

Apple launched the AirPods Max 2 over-ear headphones featuring enhanced Active Noise Cancellation, upgraded audio quality, and lossless streaming via USB-C connection. Priced at £499 in the UK and $549 in the US, the headphones have generated significant backlash on social media. Critics highlight the steep cost compared to competitors like Sony's WH-1000XM6 and Sennheiser HDB 630, both priced at £399. Additional complaints focus on the unchanged weight of 386.2 grams and minimal design improvements. Even supportive users acknowledge the pricing as a major drawback, with many suggesting the headphones should cost significantly less.

"The AirPods Max 2 feature improved Active Noise Cancellation, upgraded audio quality, and lossless streaming when connected with a USB-C cable. However, these upgrades come at the steep price of £499 in the UK ($549 in the US)."

"Compared to other flagship noise-cancelling headphones on the market, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are significantly more expensive. They are £100 more expensive than Sony's WH-1000XM6 and the excellent Sennheiser HDB 630, which currently retail at £399."

"Some were disappointed that the hefty AirPods Max 2 still weigh the same as their predecessor at 386.2 grams. 'They're too heavy to wear and still too expensive for what they offer,' one sceptic tweeted."
