My honest opinion about the new AirPods Max 2
I purchased the AirPods Max 2 a few days ago, and honestly, I’m a bit disappointed. Let me explain. I’ve been using the Sony XM5 for about three years, and I never really considered the AirPods Max before, mainly because of their ridiculous price, and also because I already had the AirPods Pro 2.
My main issue is the bass, it feels quite weak. The sound is clear, ANC is phenomenal, and transparency mode is excellent, but overall the audio feels a bit thin and could really use more depth. Maybe I’m just too used to the Sony XM5 after all this time, but in comparison, these sound somewhat shallow.
I’m not entirely sure what the reason is, but I don’t feel they justify the price. If I hadn’t sold my XM5 a few days ago, I would seriously consider returning them.
