$499 is still high, and IMO should be the base price. A good sale price would be $399

Needs a 50% discount.

The sale on my B&W Px8’s was much better. And those blow away the APM.

Not saying they're overpriced, but discounted to $499.99.

Yep, I'm old, but that sounds pricey for headphones.

Given that there is no Silver/White version of the USB-c AirPods Max, (the Silver/White is Lightning only) shouldn’t MacRumors use a different graphic when referencing the USB-c version? I personally don’t like many of the USB-c AirPods Max colors and I will therefore stick with lightning until the wheels (or muffs) fall off.

Just wait until the tariffs kick in. You'll miss MSRP.

Junk with non user-replaceable batteries--all part of Apple's planned obsolescence grift.

My Sennheiser HD6xx from 20 years ago, meanwhile, will work perfectly for 20 more.
