Tempted but really don't want to go back to having to use lightning cables again. USB-C version should be coming later this year (though rumored not to have any significant upgrades over this version)
Edit: 10% off looks like it's gone it was a limited time offer

Partially because I expect this to be the normal sale price when the update drops but also because price tag is quite high even when compared to similar premium headphones. We don't know if the next max will msrp for the same price.
As great as these headphones are, they are still 3.5 years old and $400 is still a lot.
That's why I think $300-$350 is more of a reasonable price and they will continue to sell at $400 or less as we get closer to the next update

The iPad Air 5th Gen 64GB was routinely on sale for $450 like these are as rumors of an immanent refresh approached. They started to show up around $400 before the launch of the M2 update. I have never seen it go below $400. That's my prediction on these.
I had initially purchased the iPad Air 5th Gen for $400. It was not worth it for me to pay $600 for the new version. I did not realize there would be sales on the M2s right away, and for me the landscape camera, 128GB base model, and Apple Pencil Pro support made it worth the $140 extra I paid for it (got it on sale for $540).
All of that said, the landscape camera for teleconferencing was the main attraction. Otherwise, they're more or less the same device. That's my prediction for the new Maxes. I do agree with you though, they will be at the $400 sale price again and again if you don't need them right now.

I think for most people as well, it's easier to justify $400 for a tablet, which has a multitude of functions, than simply a pair of headphones. I love my AirPods Pro and think they are worth it. I have a hard time doing the same with the max.
The AirPods Pro refresh was also on sale immediately and is regularly on sale.

If you plan to spend $350 in 4 months, then just buy them now at $400 and have 4 months more of enjoying them.
I get what you are saving, but also it doesn't entirely make sense. If you rather just wait for the new ones and pay that price (like $600), then that's fine too. However, these are high quality one of best on the market now, I don't think anyone would be disappointed and if they are, just resell them when the new ones come out.
For me, I think the XM4's are the better value pick if we are trying to save money.
I personally prefer Airpod Pro 2 myself but I can attest that in my use with HBO Max etc, Spatial Audio is fantastic with movies.
Hands down the best implementation I've ever heard of simulated surround. Love watching movies with my AirPod Pro 2. Recently finished Dune 1 & 2 and finally watched Mad Max.

If the second gen come out in September, will they be on sale for $500 down from $550 for the holidays, very likely.

The rumored release dates for the most recent iPads kept getting pushed over and over again.
