Guys, you want to get your mind blown listen to this with the AirPods Max
Oh... my.... god!!!
Oh... my.... god!!!
Awesome write up. Thanks for going into details. i agree about the use case. Do I need these? I already own the xm3 for over ears, air pod pros for on the go, and have custom iems for higher end listening. So probably not, but I want them!excellently written review
Bless me Focal, for I have sinned.
Nice, looks dark with subzzzzzz. Maybe right up my alley. I like dark phones (WHXM3). But, not the kind that the upper-mids got dipped. LCDs, hint, hint...
Some measurements here of the AirPods Max.
"
From a frequency response measurement I've seen on sound guys AAC on Apple devices is more extended than some Androids. Hence I've said, Apple implementation of AAC is good. Question is, is it audible?"
and the APM sounds like what it is: a closed-back headphone. Utterly average and nothing special.
But do note that this is with non-Apple devices"
With non-Apple devices...why is he testing APM's with non-Apple devices??
Codecs could make a difference?

I know this could be taboo here but:
You guys are aware that you can tweak the sound in iOS Accessibility Settings, right? That could compensate for some of the shortcomings based on individual preference.
Can be found in Settings > Accessibility > AirPods > (Select AirPods Model) > Audio Accessibility Settings > Headphone Accommodations (On) then go from from there, you can do custom audio setup which has you A/B test a sound clip or you can select your own tuning preferences (fine print explains what you're modifying).
