- A: AnswerNot sure on impedance but rtings.com did a pretty good review of them going over sound signature with graphs/charts if you are into that sorta thing. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-max-wireless As far as the serious specifications goes... that is how Apple has decided to release/market these headphones. I don't think these are anywhere near targeted toward an audiophile who is looking for top-tier listening headphones. These are for Apple ecosystem users who have the money to spend on a premium product that is a step up from AirPods Pro. Now when I say premium I don't mean audio quality vs wired headphones but in their class (ANC, wireless, etc) they are really good. If you compare then against other wireless ANC headphones they will win most fights from sound quality, ANC, ease of use (if you're into the whole Apple ecosystem), swapping between devices seamlessly, etc. Their build quality (aside from the case, yikes) is leagues ahead of another competing ANC wireless headphones as aluminum and stainless steel aren't cheap materials and the machining is top notch. It's one of those, you're buying it for the whole package and the name kinda gigs. If you're questioning yourself as to "why would I buy it when I can get better stuff" then you probably aren't the target audience for it. I know that sounds weird to say but it's the same reason someone will spend extra on a high-end item like nice shoes, a purse, a watch, etc. They're buying it for the whole package and are willing to spend the extra money. Casio and Rolex both tell the time but the Casio will set you back $20, the Rolex $5,400. I'm not saying its right or wrong that's just how it is - Apple is a luxury brand and that's how they have placed themselves in the market.

- A: AnswerI can only speculate on the cost of the Airpods Max. Part of me thinks it is typical Apple product pricing. But then I compared the Airpods Max to the following headphones: Bose 700, Sony XM4, Sennheiser Momentum 3's. I initially returned the Airpods Max because they cost the most. However I soon realized I missed the sound quality and I purchased Airpods Max again. I am happy. I have since returned the aforementioned headphones. I believe the speaker drivers and internal components and sound quality justify the price for me.

Apple AirPods Max product review
The Apple AirPods Max are nothing short of a revelation in the world of audio. As an avid music lover, I've tried my fair share of headphones, and these have set an entirely new standard. First and foremost, the sound quality is simply exceptional. The clarity, depth, and richness of the audio is unparalleled. Every note and nuance comes through with precision, whether I'm listening to classical symphonies or bass-heavy beats. It's an immersive experience that makes me rediscover my favorite tracks all over again. The Active Noise Cancellation is on another level. It effortlessly drowns out the hustle and bustle of the outside world, allowing me to get lost in my music. It's a game-changer for long flights and busy commutes. Comfort is key, and the AirPods Max excels in this department. The memory foam ear cups provide a plush, custom fit that's comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Plus, the stainless steel frame is both durable and stylish. The transparency mode is a stroke of genius. With a quick switch, I can seamlessly transition from total immersion to being aware of my surroundings. It's incredibly handy for staying connected in busy environments. The battery life is impressive, giving me hours of uninterrupted playback. The Smart Case not only keeps the AirPods Max safe but also puts them in an ultra-low-power state to conserve battery when not in use. The integration with the Apple ecosystem is seamless. Setting up and switching between devices is a breeze, and the spatial audio feature adds a new dimension to movies and TV shows. While the price point may be on the higher side, the AirPods Max are a testament to Apple's commitment to delivering a premium audio experience. They've raised the bar for what headphones can achieve, and I can confidently say they're worth every penny. In summary, the Apple AirPods Max are a must-have for anyone who values top-tier audio quality, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. They've become an indispensable part of my daily life, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. These headphones are a true masterpiece!
