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

"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."

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.
