What's New From AirPods Max
Now let's get straight into the discussion of what's new with AirPods Max. This aspect is prioritized for one reason: there aren't many upgrades/updates for AirPods Max in this release.
It is an 'open secret' that Apple often extends the quality of life (QoL) of its various products by re-releasing similar products.
Often this comes in the form of a typical Apple scheme: doing a “rebranding” as if the product is a new variant. Even if there is an update, it doesn’t really mean much.
But there is also another way, namely providing a thin upgrade/update for the type of variant that remains the same. Well, this second way is exactly like the case of AirPods Max.
When it appeared at the last Apple Event, the update to Apple's 'controversial' audio product was only in two aspects that were considered quite minor: color and the presence of a Type-C port.
For the type that gets the Type-C port, there are five new colors available on the market: Midnight (black), Blue (blue), Purple (purple), Orange (orange), and Starlight (metallic yellow).
AirPods Max Review
So apart from the various colors and the presence of the new port, there is nothing else new to review. It is no wonder that the overall performance is also the same as its first release.
Reporting from many parties who are indeed trusted in providing reviews of technology products, most of their opinions are not very appreciative of AirPods Max.
For example, one of the biggest gadget YouTubers in the world, MKBHD, said that the superior value of this product lies only in the unique listening experience, typical of the Apple ecosystem alone.
Even specifically for the case itself, he literally uses the term “stupid case”. This is considering how minimal the value of the product is compared to its price.
Meanwhile, the version of the famous local reviewer, namely David GadgetIn stated that in terms of quality, this product is superior, but with the price tag, it is not worth it.
From there it can be seen that this Apple line-up is more suitable for those who are indeed fanboys. While for those who are not 'trapped' in the Apple ecosystem, this product will lose its value.
Because if you look at the reality on the ground, there are so many earphones from other brands that can really compete with AirPods Max. So how about Vicigers, are you interested in Maharin?
