I suspect the headband issue that’s described has to do with how you wear the headset. It seems like you wear the headset more pressed against your head than i do. I also have had them since launch, and always wore the headset with the top barely touching the top of my head. As a result, it wears just as it did on day 1. Just my 2¢

Yup. I’ve had so much buyer’s remorse with these. They sound great and their transparency mode is top class. But they’re doomed to break down within 2-3 years. There are simple changes Apple could make to vastly improve them Make it so I can use them as normal headphones when the battery is dead, so that they don’t become e-waste when the non-replaceable battery dies. Make the earcups out of plastic, not aluminum, so they don’t dent and void warranty. Make ear cushions and headbands that are cheap to replace. No more than $30 max. If that’s not feasible, just make durable ear cushions and headbands. Headphones can last for decades, don’t reinvent the wheel and just make a quality product. Fix the moisture/corrosion issues that have been plaguing these headphones. And for Goodness’ sake, switch to USB-C, and let me use the USB-C charging cable that comes in the box to plug into my laptop or whatever and listen to music wired while charging. Oh, and add a 3.5mm headphone jack

Okay okay. I’ve been using mint mobile for almost 3 months and I am a SIMP. If anyone is thinking of switching, do. It. I came over from Verizon where I was getting awful speeds everywhere in my state. My coverage was great, but my internet speeds whether 4G or 5G were awful, and I never got mmWave speeds. I switched to mint and immediately my speeds were incredible, and using the field test mode as mint doesn’t show mmWave badges next to 5G, I can see that I get consistent mmWave connection and my speed tests and personal anecdotal experience support that. I have the highest data plan and it’s more the my Verizon unlimited was, and I went from $130/month to 30. The option of buying a year at a time is amazing. Mint is absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend has real T-mobile and our experience is indiscernible.

Iv been using them since they came out, the headband issue is real on every airpods max but that is not even the worst. My first airpods max died a few months after the warranty expired . Completely dead . They were kind so they repaired for free with no warranty ( they gave me a new because it was totaly dead. ) . But i think they issue was the condensation water getting into the earcups. If you place the cold metal housing on your warm head water droplets will appear on the inside and since it does not have any IP rating i think it slowly kills the headset.

Agree with your point. I have been demoing the Max…and in some stores where the headphones are a bit older, they actually hurt my head as the mesh worn, and actually rest on my head.

You cannot even upgrade the RAM so your MacBook. I doubt they intended for you to be able to upgrade the AirPods Max…

It isn't very pleasant.

I knew this would be an issue from the beginning. „Thankfully“ my AirPods Max broke after 1.5 years and I was given a new pair. Although after 1.5 years I noticed the mesh not really supporting the weight anymore. Also the AirPods Max are one of the very view wireless headphones in that price range. And contrary to what most people think they are not overpriced for what they sound like. The overall sound and stereo field and comport (ignoring the headband) as portable makes me look over the downsides. Again, if there would be proper alternative I would maybe get different ones but there aren’t any.
