The AirPods Max are excessively comfortable, even though they are heavy. Some (most?) lighter headphones are actually less comfortable because they do not “fit the head” so well.

Caveat: after a while the mesh at the top starts to stretch, and then you get the two metal bands going straight into the head, and that hurts. And the worst part is: this mesh is not replaceable :( There are silicone band-aids that can be bought, but I would have very much preferred for a possibility of repair…

Have you taken them to an Apple Store and said they hurt? They're likely to do something about it.

It’s out of warranty now. The only thing they can propose AFAIK is a replacement.
