It takes courage to do something different. Now, everything you liked about the earbuds just in a bigger design (stop saying headphones!!)  .  Wow I have never seen anything like this before! They have truly revolutionized earbuds! Who knew these bigger earbuds would take such a uncommon form? But on a more serious note, I am looking forward to this one. I just hope the sound quality is going to be as good. I am also hoping that they will eventually certify their airpod line up to work with always on amazon alexa. |

Like common earplugs, you just wad them up and shove them in your ears. 😆 I too am looking forward to these, I need a good pair of Bluetooth over-the-ears. I do wish they had a cable option so I could use them with my mixers too, but I have plenty of wired phones. I also wish there was more compatibility between Apple, Amazon, and Google products; but ‘standards’ seems to now mean ‘it works with all OUR stuff’. |

There is a cable option.... it's a 3.5" stereo plug on one end with a lightning plug on the other end. Available from Apple and others.

Noticed the new iOS and iPadOS 14.3 have AirPod Max compatibility updates
AirPods Max
* Support for AirPods Max, new over-ear headphones
* High fidelity audio for rich sound
* Adaptive EQ adapts sound in real time to the personal fit of ear cushions
* Active Noise Cancellation to block out environmental noise
* Transparency mode to hear the environment around you
* Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a theater-like listening experience

Ok, I didn’t notice a Jack on the headphones themselves, is there a picture that shows it, or a spec? I’m familiar with the Lightning adapter, but I’d want compatibility with non-Apple devices. |

Hmmm... my issue is that it is actually heavier than my Sennheiser HD 800S headphones coming in at 2 ounces heavier at 13.6 ounces.

It feels quite comfortable. I am not noticing the weight. The noise reduction is first class. Connecting to Apple Devices they are using Airplay rather than Bluetooth, so a higher quality signal. I'm liking the sound, and would put it against some more expensive headphones... but I may temper that with more critical listening. So far, so good. Not overpriced, based on what I have heard so far.

Yes, Apple has a Lightning to 3.5mm connector so you can use them with a headphone output. It works fine. It's a bit pricy, but you can find cheaper ones on Amazon.

Ok, I think I understand, the Lightning jack is on the AirPods? Is that how you charge them too? Can you post a picture of the jack on the phones? |

There's a lightning port on the bottom of the right ear cup. It works with 2 connectors. A lightning to USB charging cable (included). If you want to listen to audio wired, you use the same port on the headphones with a lightning to 3.5mm audio cable. It works fine. Just one port. 2 cables.
