"They do two things very well: they switch between my Apple devices smoothly and mostly automatically, and they block noise. My wife and I share a family room, where we spend most of our workday. When she's on a Zoom meeting, I can put on my AirPods Max and block out her conversation. She also has a pair, and they work for her in the same way."
"One thing that's not convenient is charging. Unlike all my other mobile Apple devices, which charge wirelessly, the AirPods Max are supposed to be kept in their case and plugged into charge. This may sound a bit silly, but I'm often holding my little dog with one arm (he likes to snuggle in on my shoulder). Plugging in the AirPods Max is beyond my dexterity with one hand."
"The selection is far from what you'd find for regular AirPods, but there are some vendors out there. Most are in the under $30 price range. Then there's the ridiculously expensive Mophie AirPods Max Headphones Charging Stand , which sells for $150 (and is currently discounted at $135). It seems to go in and out of stock every few days at Amazon, but you can also get it directly from Mophie , but"
AirPods Max provide smooth, mostly automatic switching between Apple devices and effective noise blocking for general use, making them worth their high $549 price for many users. High-pitched dog barking can penetrate the noise cancellation. Charging requires keeping the headphones in their case and plugging into a cable, which is inconvenient for one-handed use. A range of third-party docking stations exist to remove the need for the case, most costing under $30. Mophie offers an official charging stand priced at $150 (often discounted to $135) that is intermittently in stock, but it lacks Lightning support, weakening its premium positioning.
