    Giving out AirPods Max for free…I have a not-so-sneaky suspicion that these aren’t selling as well as they’d like…their sales numbers for these might even be considered non-spooktacular

      Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me, they are very expensive.

      $249 to $549 is a HUGE jump, and considering they are now well into audiophile territory they are going to be selling to a lot of people who are willing to look elsewhere rather than a casual crowd who wants the matching ones that fit in their pocket.

        These are the USB C version.

        Lamarr says in the unboxing video : “oh you charge by lightning, naughty, naughty….kidding”.

      tbh i feel like they sell way better than they should for what they do because of their goofy fashion aspect (You see influencers on instagram or tiktok use them in their fits and it increases the hype for them)

      I see so many people wearing them in London. A surprising amount given the cost. So I think they’re probably selling pretty well.
