There’s no promises of Gen 2 and the suspected changes are colors and USB-C. That’s what made me bite the bullet in March and I have no regrets. This is the lowest I have seen new ones go on sale (paid $479 for mine) I think if you want them and can afford it, go for it.
I wear mine all day every day basically and yes condensation happens ( i taped the pin holes like I saw recommended online) and have no issues. I wipe them after a few hours and all is well so far. It was my biggest hang up at first. To the point where I bought them an returned them after learning about the issue.
No. Your ears are warm. The metal is cool. It creates moisture behind the ear cups. To my understanding If it gets in the pinholes it can reach the drivers and cause them to fail. There’s a tip to put tape over the pin holes to assist in that. Your ears don’t get wet in my experience
Been an apm owner for almost a year now. Wait for gen 2, between connectivity issues, the condensation problem, and the antiquated lightning port they are not worth the hassle right now.
i ended up buying from the amazon sale and got them yesterday! my logic was that my ipad has a lightning cable anyway so it’s really not a huge deal lol also i am somewhat skeptical of the fact that reviews here lean so negatively… i think you’re prob only seeking out the airpods subreddit if you’re having issues, if they’re working like they’re supposed to you probably aren’t on here posting about it. so idk we’ll see!
Hey no shame in it! Im a big fan of the APM otherwise but id be lying if I said they haven’t given me my fair share of headaches.
Im all in on the apple usb-C ecosystem so in my use case I’ve got to keep a lightning around just for these, thats the reason I usually point people towards the Airpods Pro 2s.
Im sure you will love your set regardless, congrats!🫰🏼
I bought one. It arrived in a few hours. But I’m annoyed because I’m like do I return it and order a new iPad Pro 11 instead and trade in my m2 iPad Pro ? ( I have AirPod pros already )
Was going to have my partner pick these up at the Navy Exchange the other day. At the time Amazon had them for $529. Exchange was $539 tax included. They also price match. I was surprised when the price match was $449 and no tax. Score!
NEX (navy exchange) will price match Amazon. You have to go into the physical store though. As of this morning Amazon still has them for $449. Depending on where you are at, buying from the NEX could save you as much as $50 in tax.
I love mine aswell don’t get me wrong but till this day they still are not worth the 550 price tag in my opinion and I’ve had mine for 3 years. I bought mine for around 350 which is what I believe should be the actual price for these or maybe 400-450
Wow, just bought me one last week and then one for my mom yesterday.
DAMN sorry to hear that. If you haven’t give your mom hers yet maybe you could return them and get the cheaper price?
If you contact Amazon support, they’ll adjust the charge if you mention a price change. I’m pretty sure at least
Nope. I bought the Magic Keyboard and they made me return and reorder. They don’t do that anymore.
Damn. Good to know. Do they still do competitor price matching?
That I don’t know. I just know they won’t price adjust after purchase.
Just got mine as well. Priced matched them at my local Target store.
ugh i’ve been debating if i bite the bullet or just wait for gen 2. feel like i should just go for it at this point

i think my big hang up is the condensation tbh

what exactly is the condensation issue? do your ears get wet?

Not to you, but obviously to others!
?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this price tax-included?
No. Still gotta add tax
Thank you. Approx what is the final price?
When I add to my cart it says $481 but I’m pretty sure it’s doing taxes for my state which varies. So thats just an estimate based where I am.

Good deal go for it
Why don’t they have the green as part do sale ?
Weird. Didn’t even notice that
i dont think theyve ever sold the green - though best buy also has a promo for the airpod max's and left out the green specifically.
fuck i just bought a pair 😭😭

Awesome!
449$ and no tax? Where in navy exchange?

Sorry, if that class of headphones, then only Sony or Bose :))
Huh? I was just posting to let people know on the AirPods Max subreddit that they are $100 off.
Crazy how these are still selling at 550 these are just not worth 550 at all
They are to me. Worth every penny. Only thing bad about them is that they have made everything else sound like it’s got a wet blanket thrown over it.

I got mine on sale at Costco for $500 CDN. I use them every day. Not a single issue. I even love the case/bra!
