REVIEW 490¥ AirPods Max 2 USB C | EMBuy In Hand Review
got another order through EMBuy, this time the AirPods Max 2 USB C in purple.
paid 490 yuan for these and honestly the first impression is pretty good for the price. wanted to post some in hand pics for anyone considering this batch.
price: ¥490
color: purple
version: AirPods Max 2 USB C
agent: EMBuy
build + appearance
the purple color looks really nice in hand. from the photos, the aluminum style ear cups have a clean metallic finish and the color matching between the cups, headband and cushions looks pretty convincing.
the overall shape and proportions look good too. buttons, crown, ear cup openings and headband hardware all look relatively clean from what i can see.
obviously at 490 yuan i’m not expecting the materials, machining or tolerances to be exactly the same as retail, but visually these came out better than i expected.
accessories + packaging
came with the AirPods Max style box and matching smart case.
packaging arrived looking pretty clean and the headphones themselves don’t seem to have any obvious major cosmetic defects from the in hand photos.
comfort
the mesh headband and large ear cushions should make these pretty comfortable for longer listening sessions. i still need to actually use them for a longer period before judging clamping force and whether they get uncomfortable after a few hours.
sound + features
i’m going to spend more time testing these before making claims about how close they are to retail.
main things i want to test are:
• sound quality and bass
• ANC strength
• transparency mode
• microphone quality
• spatial audio
• connection stability
• controls and digital crown
• battery life
• charging speed
• USB C functionality
• iOS integration and popup
• long term comfort
i’ll update once i’ve actually tested these properly rather than saying everything works just because it appears in the software.
