After the great number of Beats Studio3 Wireless units Apple was able to sell for $350, they may have concluded that a steel+aluminum Apple designed headphone was a bargain at $550.

What are you talking about? Apple hasn’t needed to artificially limit supply for any of their products in recent history. You have no evidence for any of your assertions except for your gut. All you need to do is look at launch quarters for apple products. They sell as many as they can make. This isn’t just a marketing thing. This is from Apple executives speaking, at legal risk if they mislead, during investor calls.
This is a weird review. It’s incredibly negative. This is the most negative review of the AirPods Max I’ve seen from anyone.
He’s even saying that the AirPods Pro sound better and have better imaging than the Max do. That can’t be right, can it? Every single review I’ve seen to date has said the Max have significantly better audio quality than the Pros, which already sound pretty good. But DMS is of a different opinion.
So dms calls sound quality is on par with $100 closed backs perhaps a little worse. Yet people are making absurd claims that it rivals their desktop rigs, selling audezes...
Unfortunately, the bar for sound quality in ANC cans has never been set all that high in the first place.Omg... is it really really that bad? But not all $100 closed back are bad anyway.
Or this dude, who compares them favorably to Utopias driven from a Dave
If you don't think ios is a walled garden, then there's not much more I can say at this point other than to suggest that you may be one of those apple fans I was referring to above where Apple can do no wrong. Apple makes a product that is neutered to literally 72 percent of the planet and you are arguing that it's not a walled garden. I'm tapping out. This stuff is usually reserved for macrumors.

If you haven’t seen it...
AirPod Max for Music Producers
He mainly uses the HD6xx as his reference pair for his job, and looks to compare APM to them here.
Always interesting to see perspectives from different use cases. We listen to music, this guy mixes music.
EDIT:: He isn’t doing a thorough breakdown yet In that video. He more...introduces and explains his high expectations for APM in his job. More videos to come, I think.
Still burning mine in - its very apparent on ESS transient sounds for me. Or high end percussive elements / shakers / tambos.I agree with him with the highs, they are piercing. I'm not sure if it's a psychological thing, but they've gotten better for me, though I've also turned the volume down a notch. The highs do get better if you have a better mastered recording though, I did notice that.
Guys we need some serious comparisons here, otherwise this thread will become useless. Or, may be we stop comparing it to any other headphones. We now know they are good, may be even better than Bose and Sony ANCs but let’s not jump off the tracks and compare them to Hd800s/Utopia etc.
