I bought at least 20 pairs of, sometimes expensive, headphones over the past years. I settled with the Sony XM2 for their sound signature and price point a few years back. I bought the AirPods Max out of curiosity and I can attest that most comments on internet are from clueless people that like to bash products. The sound signature is nowhere near any Sony or Bose headphone. They just destroy them. The build is exceptional, my Sony or Bose look like toys in comparison. But like many other things, sound for people is not that important, meaning not 200$ important enough. Just like, the latest TV technology is not that important for me to update to the 4K latest OLED TV. My old one LED is enough. AirPods Max compare to the Beoplay H95 which are 200$ more expensive. So in this case, why buying anything over the Bose or Sony price range ? The AirPods Max are a pleasure to use like all high end overpriced headphones out there. And please don’t tell me that most of the times you are not paying the brand on any high end product.
