I bought them new and did not regret a single day, they get good daily use listening to music and watching videos or Apple TV, transparency mode is perfect for watching tv when others are around, you can still be in the room / conversation while you can listen to news, watch other programmes etc. Head tracking and 3d audio have a remarkable effect here as well (more than in the music I generally listen to.
While there is no official lossless support – it’s still bluetooth – the audio quality of lossless tracks in Apple Music is mostly better than the ‘classical versions’ replaced most downloaded music with the lossless files. They sound more ‘crisp’ and detailed.
After 7 months they look and feel like new – no issues with the headphones or the case (I don’t mind it that much actually – it mostly gets out of the way and provides some protection in the house). A few elements of critique: 3.5 mm cable should have been included in the box, power and audio cable should also have been of the new braided type found in some products (Home Pod Mini, MacBook Pro) and colour coded with the AirPods Max.
The colours are fine – have the blue ones and the other colours are ok as well – have seen them in use and they all look ok. My personal alternatives would have been space grey or white.
Some comments on your review, the headband is not plastic, as far as I know it is made of steel with a silicone cover. The ear cups are not made of steel, they are aluminium – similar to MacBooks.

I picked up a set of “Open Box – Excellent” AirPods Max for $409 at Best Buy during a recent sale…and I could not be more pleased. I have a selection of Apple devices; they switch between them better than my AirPods Pro, and have better ANC. I agree on the case – it’s almost like it exists to avoid the power button.
