Apple's lawyers argued that an angry customer "omits details" about a so-called "walk" where condensation built up in his AirPods Max, and that moisture in the company's flagship headphones is simply "more noticeable" than in competitors' models.
Arguably, if you’re compressing the signal wirelessly via Bluetooth, the ceiling for quality is probably in that low couple hundred bucks market. Apple probes people will overpay for something but anything actually better is probably going to be wired.
I mean, I know high end audio quality focused ones are going to be more expensive, but I really doubt I’d be able to hear the difference. The ones I got have good sound quality but I have no idea how they stack up to audiophile stuff. I just doubt that apples headphones would have quality proportional to the price they charge. That’s to be expected though, pay for the name and all that, I was just more surprised that the cheaper headphones I got would have more in the way of features. Although it is a bit of a different beast I think, mine being more computer focused.
If you think 350 for a pair of headphones is expensive, don’t become an audiophile…

I’m not even talking Wireless. I’m talking about headphones in general.

Airpods Pro are actually quite competitive in its category.
