Forget about the head size. What about the other points?
Most people don't care or would not be able to appreciate lossless audio. USB-c is a minor inconvenience.
So if price remains same for msrp then $150 off is I think reasonable for most people who might want airpod max but not pay $600 including tax for the trade off of usb-c and "better" audio quality.
Personally I think $300-350 is what i would pay for them relative to an updated model
Buy Apple Care because the mesh stretches out to where the metal bars are the only thing touching your head; making it hurt after 30 mins. Then get ready for them to ring you around the corner saying it's not a design issue. I never did, but def make sure you don't put them on a stand. Will stretch it right out.

Outdated. No lossless audio, no usb c, terrible for people with large heads. A easy pass for that price.
Spotify doesn't have Lossless audio and they hold 30% of the market while Apple Music is at 13% market share. It's also hasn't been a full year with USB C iPhones yet.
Just a heads up for everyone! New airpods max are rumored to be dropping later this year. These ones are now almost 4 years old too!
There's a high chance Apple will keep the same design. They will probably just add USB C and add some AirPods Pro 2 features which are mostly software.
As is, I don't think the AirPods Max are bad. They have great sound and in my experience better than what Sony and Bose offer.

What features are better than Sony and Bose? (I haven't used headsets in a while, so I don't know what's new).

What wireless headphones support lossless? What does it being outdated have to do with the quality of product i.e. drivers? Nothing.
The usb c gripe is a mild annoyance. All this to say those points are invalid as well.
Lmao stop… this has been spewed for the last 2 years now. Went already
There's always rumors but apple has to replace the lightning on this model for usb c now. 4 yrs old is old in the tech world so I'm just letting people know

I am only speculating, but I have a feeling they will do a real update to the AirPods Max when they update the AirPods Pro at the end of next year. That will put the two on par with each other. Probably a minor update with USB C if it happens this year.

I got these for $350 with the Walmart deal. I also purchased the Sonos Ace and the Bose QC Ultra for comparison. For me the Max have the best sound, the mesh ear cups don't make my ears sweat like the pleather cups on the other two, and you can turn ANC all the way off unlike the QC Ultra. I get ear pressure and headaches from ANC.
