A literal dent in your skull?
It’s not in the skull, it’s in the soft tissue on top of it. I’ve had the same dent after wearing them for a while, it comes out after a while.

#63Curious to know how popular they are in rest of the world, especially in the West. Anecdotally, I have seen literally zero people using them in India. So I'm really curious.
They are very popular, especially on any kind of international airport I feel like you either see AirPods Max, AirPods or Bose QC for the most part.

#64I've been wearing the Soundcore Space Q45 for 6 months. Good noise cancelling, comfortable headband, not too heavy and they cost...$99. I can't imagine these being worth 5x as much, even with the Apple tax.
Re: AirPods Max 2
#65I really don't understand how these are $549. As others have pointed out, some people say the head band is not great. Others say the sound is solid but not exceptional. What makes these worth that much when there are so many options?
Well, if you buy only one pair it does work really nicely with all Apple kit. So you get really nice cinematic sound from Apple TV (for my non-prosumer ears), and effortlessly can switch between phone, laptop etc. The sound is really good for video calls. They just work. I mean there are other pieces of kit that probably just work as well but with these you don't need to do market research. It's surprising how non-tr…
Yeah I basically don’t trust anyone but Apple for wireless audio because every time I’ve tried allegedly-good non-Apple Bluetooth audio devices, they’ve been a ton worse, so bad I ended up barely using them.
In this case these are more expensive than I’d pay for headphones, but that just means I won’t have any Bluetooth headphones in this form factor. Been down that road before, non-Apple was a frustrating waste of money.
I mean FFS my AirPods are worse on Windows and Linux than in the Apple ecosystem, but are still better than the non-Apple ones I’ve tried, even there. It’s not even just the home-field advantage.

#66Issues with my AirPods Max 1:
* occasional deafening screatch when there's too much moisture. I'm surprised they didn't need to recall them over that
* occasional reboots when you move it a bit on your head.
Unfortunately in apple-manner they don't mention if such issues were resolved with this v2

Sony HH-1000XM6 are $500 Bose QC Ultra are $450 That is the market for premium BT headphones. There are way more expensive headphones out there. But yeah it is notable that the Neo is cutting the legs out of the lower end laptop market to that degree.
Nope, right now the price for both of them is around €389.

#68Do they brick less? I bought a pair for my husband and after a year they were bricked, apple support basically told him to buy a new one. I will never waste my money on the max line ever again.
Did you try putting them in the freezer for 20 minutes?

Phew, that's a relief. Guess that's a reasonable compromise for a $550 product for which there are no other quality competitors.
It literally gives me a headache after more than an hour of wearing it. This never happens with may AKG that has a very utilitarian and simple headband—a flat piece of plastic. It’s not pretty but I can wear AKG for a whole day and enjoy every minute of it while I’m phisically sick after an hour of AirPods Pro.

#70From the wording it sounds like there will still be the annoyance of not having a mic if you're using lossless wired audio.
