If you want to use
these to listen to an
in-flight movie, or to
lossless audio from
your computer or
a headphone amp,
or you’re editing
video and want to
eliminate the latency
of Bluetooth, you’ll
have to buy a separate
and grossly overpriced
£35 Lightning to 3.5mm cable. For
the price, the AirPods Max should
absolutely include this.
The ear cushions are
magnetically attached.
The idea is that, as
they wear down over
time (as happens to
all headphone ear
cushions), you can
simply buy a new pair
for £75 and snap them
right on. That’s an
absurd overcharge for
some fabric-wrapped
memory foam and
a few magnets, but
competing headphones
offer no recourse for replacing worn-
out cushions, and £75 is a lot cheaper
than replacing your headphones.
