The timing matters: AirPods Max began with the 2020 Lightning model, received a modest USB-C refresh in 2024, and now have a newer generation available, so identifying the version is important. At €400, this is clearly ambitious against your comparables: it sits above the €361 75th percentile and well above the €309 median. It only makes sense if this is the newer USB-C version and the condition is genuinely exceptional.
They remain a very capable, beautifully built headphone, with excellent noise cancellation, spacious sound, seamless Apple-device integration, and strong transparency mode. The 2024 revision is sonically much the same as the original but is more convenient with USB-C and supports wired lossless use after the relevant firmware update. For €400, verify the port, battery performance, Smart Case and accessories, and check that there is warranty or unusually low usage; otherwise, patience should find a better buy closer to the market’s €258–€361 range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Apple Inc. traces its origins to April 1, 1976, when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, along with Ronald Wayne, founded the company in the Jobs family garage in Cupertino, California. What began as a modest venture to build personal computers evolved into a tech powerhouse, with early forays into audio via the 2001 launch of iTunes and the iconic iPod portable music player.
In the hi-fi realm, Apple focuses on integrated consumer audio solutions rather than traditional separates like amplifiers, turntables, or DACs. The company is renowned for wireless speakers such as the short-lived iPod Hi-Fi (2006-2007) and the more advanced HomePod series, alongside premium headphones including AirPods and AirPods Max. These products emphasize seamless ecosystem integration, portability, and digital streaming over analog purism.
Apple holds a dominant position in the premium consumer audio market, blending high-end aspirations with mass-market accessibility. While not a staple among traditional hi-fi purists—who often critique its closed ecosystem and past efforts like the iPod Hi-Fi as underwhelming—its products command loyalty for sonic refinement, computational audio processing, and design excellence, positioning it as a mid-to-high-tier contender for savvy buyers prioritizing convenience over boutique esoterica.
