I think the issue is that the defense of these seems to be that it has its pros and cons compared to the XM4, but that ignores the fact that one costs double what the other does.

If the Airpods max were $300 MSRP they'd be an interesting competitive headphone option. But priced the way they are limits any interest in them to a very specific set of customers that enjoy the apple ecosystem for convenience or fashion reasons, and aren't concerned with price. It's a different market than someone looking for good value for quality headphones.

So this sale is a good price for Airpods max, but it's not a good price for a pair of headphones, if that makes sense.
I have both. I LOVE my XM4s but they are very different products.
The feature set on the Maxes on they own, sets them apart. The clarity in the mids, surround sound (spatial audio) are much better. The transparency mode… it's almost nonexistent in the XM4s vs the Maxes.
Every once and awhile I like to go on walks with headphones. I would prefer to wear the XM4s on walks, they are lighter. But I can not hear my surroundings.
They absolutely 1000% do not, and I like JBL. They make budget-tier headphones that sound better than Beats, but that's about it.

IMO, get the Sony XM4s, half the price and basically just as good.

Gotta agree. I have two pairs of XM4s and just got some AirPod Max and they're simply different products that do different things. I think most people here just want to shit on Apple b

JBL makes wireless bluetooth headphones that absolutely destroy these in sound quality and cost less than 50 bucks.

A little. If for example drop to $350, will you still buy? unlikely I bet
