I 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?
You want to be seen in public wearing this object
https://github.com/jstilwell/MacAudioInputLocker I maintain a fork of this app, which allows you to quickly set and lock your audio input device, so that they don't switch your audio input device to bluetooth as soon as you turn them on. Mostly because of the first gen of these headphones. They LOVED to keep the mic on at all times with no way to disable that behavior. I assume it's the same with the second gen.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did you try putting them in the freezer for 20 minutes?
curious: why would this help?
By freezing the AirPods, the cold can cause the lining around the wires to contract, temporarily bringing the cracked sections together."

>I really don't understand how these are $549. H2 chip enables smart audio switching when paired with Apple account + other Apple products. This is a feature that many people find valuable.
My AirPods Max 1 left a headband dent in my skull from how poor the quality of the headband was after more than a year of daily use. They also are super heavy and don't travel well at all. Apple deciding that, on their 2nd refresh of these (after usb-c), they still aren't going to fix those fundamental issues is very frustrating for what feels like a very disproportionately expensive product (even by Apple standards)…
It isn't perfect, but it makes them wearable.
Pretty incredible oversight by a company that focuses so much on "design."
The bands sell pretty well on Amazon from what I can see so this isn't an isolated issue.
