The inner conflict persists as we acknowledge the undeniable craftsmanship that goes into creating these sleek and stylish headphones. The premium materials, like stainless steel and aluminium, evoke a sense of luxury, but they also raise eyebrows about the impact on the final price.

Despite being so expensive, Apple products are sold like potatoes and tomatoes. And this is the case with AirPods Max.

But many of us will justify the price for the features and the premiums that the Airpods Max provides.

So again, the burning question still tingling our minds is Why Are AirPods Max So Expensive? Below are the reasons which we think are the genuine ones.In this article, we will delve into the reasons behind the high cost of AirPods Max and explore the factors that contribute to their premium pricing.

Why Are AirPods Max So Expensive?

The Brand Value:

• The Apple brand value is the main reason for the high price of Airpods Max. It’s really that simple.
• Apple is a brand known for its premium offerings and cutting-edge technology.
• The company has established itself as a leader in the consumer electronics industry, and this reputation comes with a premium price tag.
• The Airpods Max, being an Apple product, inherits this premium positioning.
• The brand value and the perception of exclusivity associated with Apple contribute to the high price of Airpods Max.

The Build quality:

• Another factor is the build quality. The design is eye-catchy.
• Talking about the design, it houses a stainless steel frame, with a flexible net mesh headband.
• The canopy over the headband is made from a knit mesh.
• We can also see sparkling anodised aluminium cups.
• We can see a custom-designed mesh textile over the ear cushions to provide pillow-like softness while listening.
• It also has a Digital Crown to control volume, skip between tracks, answer phone calls and activate Siri.
• We have tested other high-end Headphones as well like Bose, JBL, Sennheiser, Sony etc but none of them matches the build quality of Apple AirPods Max.

Sound quality and Spatial Audio :

• Of course, this is an obvious reason for Airpods Max’s price being high.
• The Audio Quality of the AirPods Max is Unmatched and the best in the industry. You might find other headphones cheaper with a good brand name but still, they can’t beat this beast.
• But the real killer is the “Spatial audio” feature. This feature is actually like a 3D sound effect as the name suggests Spatial meaning space. Spatial audio along with dynamic head trackinbrings theatre-like sound from video or audio so that sound seems like it’s coming from all around you like a 3D effect. You just need to get high-quality audio/video content to play and get immersed in that.
• It has a feature of personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking that provides a theatre‑like experience.
• All this is due to the built-in gyroscopes, accelerometers, H1 chip, Adaptive and Transparency mode.
• And with Apple Music, Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sound all around you to create a three-dimensional listening experience
• Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking gives you a theatre‑like experience for movies and shows, with a sound that surrounds you.

Comfort level:

• They will make you feel like a king (which means they are Comfortable).
• Comfort is very much required for a king. I assume we all feel like a king for ourselves.
• Because of the premium material being used in the headphones, the looks and comfort have increased by many folds.
• It has an uncompromising fit that creates the optimal acoustic seal.
• The foam ear cups and stainless steel arms on the headband feel like a feather without a bird even though they are heavy but the weight has been distributed evenly so that you don’t feel 385 grams dumbbell on your head.
• AirPods Max is so soft, cosy and cushy that you won’t feel like you are wearing anything on your head and ears. You don’t need to take out the headsets every few minutes or hours to give your ears some air. You can wear AirPods Max for hours and hours.

The Active Noise Cancelling:

• AirPods Max noise cancellation technology is awesome even better than Jabra.
• AirPods Max combines high-fidelity audio with industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation to deliver an unimagined listening experience.
• We get an immersive listening experience by cancelling unwanted external sounds.
• AirPods Max uses a total of six outward-facing microphones to detect noise in your environment, and two inward-facing microphones to measure what you’re hearing. Its microphones help to isolate your voice on phone calls, so it’s heard clearly. Doesn’t matter even in windy situations.
• Noise cancellation doesn’t allow outside noise from reaching your ear and you can enjoy the music as it is without hearing the barking of your friend or an enemy.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we would say the AirPods Max is justified if you are filthy rich. If you don’t have enough to buy, then you can simply sell your heart or liver or kidney but as an alternative, we would suggest going for an alternative like Sennheiser or Sony or JBL.
