A side note our discussion on the AirPods Pro Max from last week: here is more info and a comparison to high end headphones from a MacVoices viewer describing comparisons to high end.
Who are the AirPods Max aimed towards? It's the same market or type of consumer that these wireless headphones are aimed at; Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless Copper ($699) DALI IO-6 ($499) Sennheiser RS 195 ($449) Master & Dynamic MW65 ($499) Focal Listen Bluetooth Wireless ($490) With the exception of noise cancellation, what the AirPods Pro Max brings to the table that these other brands don't is the following;
- Spatial Audio
- Atmos, 7.1 support
- Active Noise Cancellation
- Transparency mode
- Adaptive EQ using mics and sensors
- Ear and neck detection
- Multiple SoC for extended battery life and computation audio processing
- Apple grade pairing
- lagless wireless audio, auto switching
- the ability to add features, over time, via software updates
- So if you're someone that appreciates high-end audio AND tight-integration with the Apple ecosystem, there's a good chance these headphones are for you. As well as there's the fashion angle.
