Surprisingly people say consumer will blindly follow Apple but instead you see far more Sony XM series headphone around.
1. Will it have sleep detection like all other H2 based Airpods? 2. Did they make any changes to the goofy sleep case, where the only turn off the Airpods max is their weird case?
These are the two things that I'm looking for in an upgrade to my current Max's.
But now, thanks to makerworld and 3D printers, I have a stand with integrated neodymium magnets for home that puts them to sleep on my desk and nightstand.
I’m equally surprised I had to print something Apple doesn’t sell and Apple hasn’t improved the design for what feels like a decade (other than USB-C and lossless and now old H2)
Or do you mean while sitted, on an airplane ride?
Trying to parse this...I don't have these, so I don't have context for what this could mean.
I feel like this should have been 24-bit at 192 kHz. I'm wondering why they couldn't do that, especially since Apple Music supports it and they're talking about a wired connection.
Although they write:
> "with the included USB-C cable".
Does that mean a third-party cable could handle more, or is there some other limitation? The wording seems a bit odd, no?
I think it means "we're including the cable in the box" and "high-res only works when it's wired, not wireless".
As if anybody is going to notice the difference? Even the 24-bit vs 16-bit difference is gratious (it makes sense during recording and mixing, when listening it's just a check-mark item).
I don't think so, no.
But since 24-bit/192 kHz music is already available in the Apple Music catalogue, I was wondering why they wouldn't just embrace it.
Since this is a headphone clearly intended to be used with Apple Music, I was still wondering why they chose to "just" go with 48 kHz.
Like... was there a technical reason?
