AirPods Max 2, here's what we need from you
), and I really hope that the next AirPods Max won't follow the Pro 2's lead by having touch-based volume controls.
I love the Digital Crown on the AirPods Max. It, and the physical button for noise cancellation next to it, are my favorite control system for over-ear headphones. It's so reliable – I can just reach up and it's right under my finger where I expect it to be, and then you just turn a little for fine volume control.
On something like the Sony WH-1000XM4 where you have a big touch pad that does everything, you have to reach up, guess if your finger is in the right spot, then swipe in a direction youis up to do volume. There's too much guesstimation in it – with AirPods Max's physical controls, I never get it wrong.AirPods Pro 2 sound great – they're a big step up over the original for the complete soundstage, and there's notably more detail and dynamism to them.
The AirPods Max manage to offer deep and rich bass, delicate and clear treble, and clear and focused mid-range, all while being fairly natural and laid back about it. Sound doesn't feel like it's being pumped right in your ears by powerful speakers – they're a remarkably easy and unfatiguing listen over long periods .
I hope they next version will keep closer to that sound profile – while I'm using and enjoying the AirPods Pro 2 every day happily, I do think they could stand to chill out by 10% or so.over the next few months, if you're thinking of buying any of the current models!
