Heavy is the Head that wears the AirPods Max

Reading this I immediately thought of the B&W PX. Really nicely made headphones which felt like they would last a long time. The battery would probably be the first thing to go. I really wanted to like them, but alas I just couldn't wear them comfortably for very long. They were too heavy for me.

By contrast, the Bose and Sony headphones, which feel more flimsy in comparison, I can wear for hours without issue.

I have the Sony WH1000 XM3. I disagree they feel more flimsy. The most critique I can come up with is that the clickiness of the buttons isn’t up to Apple standards. And they lack multipoint.

Also to consider, AirPods Max can be extremely well built but you still cannot pack them in a suitcase like you can the Sony or Bose, due to the shitty pouch that’s included...

Third party cases will be available in about a second from when they launch.

It's a non-issue.

Yes. So instead of spending €300 at a perfectly fine WH1000XM4 including a case and cable (and airplane adapter), I get to spend €630 on AirPods Max, €40 on a cable and probably €100 on a case.

Indeed a non issue (assuming you also own a money printer).
