Have exactly the same issue... pressure on my ears... only reason. And it’s not a case... a sleeve. A MacBook display protective sleeve which come with it...is not a solution to keep
I would agree with your reasons to return it and i’m considering doing the same thing. The biggest issue for me is the clamping on the ears. The pressure is uncomfortable. Coming from the QC35 Bose, this is night and day difference on comfort , leaning towards Bose. Otherwise sound quality and integration is wonderful. But i do wish Apple focus a little bit more on weight, so that they weren’t so heavy. I’m considering getting the Bose 700’s instead.
385 g...that's the main reason why I sent the back, plus the pressure on my hears, especially when you're in front of your Mac and your'e wearing glasses.
I know this is somewhat of an older video, but I just got my APM’s and I’m already considering on returning them. They’re kinda heavy (ik since they’re made of aluminum that’s partly why, but it gets a little irritating them sliding off.) they have stopped playing music five times and wouldn’t connect back four times within the first few days. They’re not as loud or full as the Airpod Pro’s however that may be for the fact the pros go more inside my ear which I can accept. I just wish they were louder or fuller if that makes sense. The sleeve itself feels nice, im gonna be honest, the sleeve definitely looks like underwear and doesn’t do a real good job of protecting them. It also kinda hurts the literal day after I bought them, they went up for sale under $500 at best buy. I do have the XM4’s headphones. I like them and they come with a wired cable which is good for when Im in class. I got the APM’s because I heard great praise from an audiophile and I thought why not. Maybe Im more of a base head and more into in ear ear/headphones than I thought. I’m not sure if I’ll return them or not. Still feeling really conflicted.
Apple fan here and thinking of returning 27” Imac, Macbook Air, Ipad Pro w Pencil, Ipad Mini, Ipad 2, Ipad Air, Apple Watch 3, Apple Watch 4, Iphone 3G, Iphone 4, Iphone 5, Iphone 7, Iphone 7 Max, Iphone XR, HomePod, Airpods Never sold or returned a single item. Have all the boxes.... I have used the airpods for a week, I like the case, I like the tapping they make :) I feel they are comfortable except ... I am considering returning them because I think they are small for my head. My ear lobes are resting on the cups. My ears do fit in the cups but the the adjustment doesn’t allow them to reach over my ear lobes. My ears aren’t centered to the drivers. How about you? Are your ears centered with the drivers and do you think its a problem? These are my first set of over the ear headphones and I am trying to get info about proper fit.
Love the noise cancellation; the sound is great; but after an hour of use I have to take them off for 10 minutes or I'd go crazy from the ear pressure.
I definitely enjoy using the Sony’s ... and happy with my decision... but those AirPods felt so good. Also I gotta tell you; Apple’s transparency is way better than Sony IMO
I’m returning mine also. Not worth it to me. I listen to more Hip Hop & R&B and I don’t think these are made for those genres. I have to turn the volume all the way up to hear the bass I like. Also the headphones shake on my head because they are so heavy. Don’t get me wrong, they are beautiful headphones. I just don’t see the $550 worth. They could of put more effort and features towards these headphones 🎧 they just seem like an afterthought when they released these. Maybe last minute release for them
Love apple but for $550 I should equalize my sound, a headphone jack for better sound, more bass sometimes, 30 hour battery and a case to protect my very expensive headphones
Hi! I might be late but i saw your wifi tip video from 10 monts ago, so to make sure you answer am i here. So whats your best offer of a wifi repeater for a cabel in my pc and it can boost every type of wifi route.
Before buying them all the videos on my feed talk about how out of this world awesome they are.. after I got them the feed is suddenly all realistic🤦🏻♀️ I got mine and I absolutely agree in addition, I have a small head and it makes the headphones not that tight on my ears and they are leaning on the top of my head.. when i loosen them from the sides they slip down and the weight is always on my head.. i swear the top of my head got numb wearing it for the first 30 minutes!!
I too am an Apple junkie but im also a hater of in-ear headphones, i own an airpods pro and an airpods 3 and i dont ever use the pros since they make me nauseous when i wear them (the in-ear seal is the culprit) So when my family asked me what i wanted for Christmas i told them airpods max since i could get noise cancelling minus the in-ear feeling. So i finally got my Airpods Max for a few days ago and just wearing them for a few hours they made me nauseous coz of the way they clamp my head, i may have a large head so i dont know if these need breaking in to get comfortable but i dont want the return window to lapse for me to find out. They’re just so heavy and the sound aint that better than my normal airpods 3 or even the pros. They look amazing yes but now im conflicted if i wanna break them in or buy an XM5 or even a Bose or keep in Apple’s ecosystem with the much cheaper Beats Pro.
I purchased both XM4's and APM on the same day and used both and couldn't justify the price of the APM's over the XM4's. Im not saying that the Sonys are that much better, I am saying they aren't that much worse....not $200+ worse..They both have pros and cons like everything else. I am really happy with the XM4's. That extra $200+ let me buy a braided solo loop and that MagSafe duo charger as well 🤷🏽
Great! I’m still using mine everyday... there is a “very very thin” plastic that is covering the magnet. Make sure to take that off or it won’t work. 👍🏼😎 the reason I say that you’ll be surprised how many people comment that’s a garbage product but then realize they left the wrapping on 😂
Also don’t listen to the comment that told you to sell them. No ones going to buy used open headphones 🎧 for over market value. Especially with this COVID going around
I hear you man. I got my return label also but I figured it won’t hurt to give it shot so I posted on Offer Up and someone is buying them tonight... so we will see how it goes... making just about $50 after taxes but I guess it’s better than nothing. Maybe I got lucky
So I was able to sell them ... the guy who bought it was super nice and it happened to be his birthday so I hooked him up with couple of phone cases and screen protectors
Apple is certainly not equal to status or what a sad world 😌 a computer, phone or headphone is just a piece of metal and is just about what you produce with it. I have an iPhone but it’s not about status, I find Samsung to be as good. I just find the os more intuitive. I will never blindly be a company fan.

I also returned mine.
For similar reasons or something else?

Exactly the same reasons I returned mine. Great video, not sure why it did not get much attention.
I wish I had seen your review before I bought mine. The pressure is very uncomfortable.
same reasons are mine too. Moreover, Bass is not enough. I bought from Canada. I live in India. Now, I don't know how do i return these.
you should check out the bose 700 and do a video on it. It would be interesting to hear what you have to say about them
yes please cause i want to purchase them and they are on sale still
bose 700 sounds like sh*t
Love the noise cancellation; the sound is great; but after an hour of use I have to take them off for 10 minutes or I'd go crazy from the ear pressure.
I have the Sony xm4.

I got my Sony XM4s and I think I like them better already. They just feel right. Appreciate watching the video mate! 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏼

I’ve had the AirPods max for the last week, and everything you’ve said in this video is spot on 100%. Most honest real-world review I’ve seen on YT!
Oh man appreciate the feedback. It’s encouraging to hear. Welcome to the channel 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼

Those are legit real life annoyances that would prevent me from getting one. Thanks.
Yup... as far as the features, Apple’s transparency mode I think works much better but besides that and the excellent build quality I like Sony’s
I think I am as well. And it breaks my heart
Nicely done video! Getting my pair today, will see how I like them. I would actually be interested in hearing how you like the XM4's after this.
Thanks mate. Let me know how you like yours when you get it.
@@EnforcerMan Will do! I also just ordered the magnetic car mount you reviewed. Looked handy.
Great! I’m still using mine everyday... there is a “very very thin” plastic that is covering the magnet. Make sure to take that off or it won’t work. 👍🏼😎 the reason I say that you’ll be surprised how many people comment that’s a garbage product but then realize they left the wrapping on 😂
I am returning it too--unreal...very disappointed.
No UA-cam channel had mentioned that they are not compatible with audio sharing, big downside!!
Good point! I never checked it but I thought there were!
@@EnforcerMan imgur.com/gallery/mw7VF8B
I check this info, but someone told me they are, Can you check it?
I disagree the sound was horrible on these I wish they were louder
returned mine as well, no knock against Apple by any means. These headphones are beautiful and sound real good but for $550, to me, not worth it.
Also don’t listen to the comment that told you to sell them. No ones going to buy used open headphones 🎧 for over market value. Especially with this COVID going around
I hear you man. I got my return label also but I figured it won’t hurt to give it shot so I posted on Offer Up and someone is buying them tonight... so we will see how it goes... making just about $50 after taxes but I guess it’s better than nothing. Maybe I got lucky
bad move, you could sell them for $650 and people would still gonna buy them
Haha... I still have couple of day before I drop this at fedex. Maybe I’ll give it shot
So I was able to sell them ... the guy who bought it was super nice and it happened to be his birthday so I hooked him up with couple of phone cases and screen protectors
@@EnforcerMan what? I didn't really mean it. 😅😂
You did the right decision on returning them & getting the Sony’s
I agree! Sony’s are great. AirPods felt so damn good, but just not too practical for me... hopefully next gen will be better.
