When even the counterfeit is much more expensive than an actual good pair of different-branded headphones.
Has probably something to do with that people at least think they buy something "premium" I just bought some Real Pure from Teufel (cable version) there is also a BT and BT witch NC version (Cable Version around 100€, BT Version 130-140€ and BT + NC Version i think around 170€)
If you're in the market for airpods max or clones I don't think you care about getting value for money, you just want to show off
The makers saw how stupid the average mac user is and thought they could get away with it.

Also their longevity might not be good, and they don't have an headphone jack

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. czcams.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

if you think about trusting dankpods' headphone reviews be wary that he's been drumming for years and likely has some form of hearing loss in the treble frequencies.
They might be right if you're only considering wireless headphones with all of the features they have. Obviously they can't compete with an old school pair of wired headphones like the Sony MDR7506, but the battery, amplifier, microphones, etc. is the majority of the cost. Converting the MDR7506 into wireless headphones with the same features would cost more than $100.
@@jayleno2192 Yeah, that's so obvious. I don't understand how that's not a given to people. Of course if someone says something like that about wireless headphones with a bunch of features, it's meant to be compared with other headphones with similar features.
No sane person is going to say that $200 wireless headphones will provide the absolute best sound quality of any headphones at that price point.
@@moltenhydrogen2218 I followed them and are quite satisfied with my purchases
I would have liked to see a blind listening test. Have a person who didn't know which one was which, put the headphones on their heads, and let them tell you which sounded better.

"the mesh seems... meshy. "
-Linus Sebastian, The great philosopher
14:49 - How they sleuthed it:
They have a development system for bluetooth (essentially a modified bluetooth radio to provide every packet to a dev machine connected to usb / serial) and just investigated the handshake and identifiers transmitted and replicated that into the bluetooth module for the clones.
Apple has a standard way of doing this for airpods, and they used this framework for airpod pros, and the airpod max. So they have a starting point from the airpod clones they've likely made too in the past.
5:28 Savage - haven't actually looked at the Airpods Max since our review because "why would I?" Ikr most people just get XM4s or m50x or Bose ANCs.
I hear you but I like the Apple cans more. Pricey yes but they’re always on sale and the quick connect to my phone and Apple TV is worth it for me. I also think their sound is very balanced and was pleasantly surprised with how close they came to my hifiman in comparison.
@@mattschwartzstein3159 I can understand but, for me, the APMs clamp too hard on my jaw and end up hurting after a few minutes while my Sennheiser headphones feel much better and get comparable sound.
The APMs can be great if they don't put too much clamp pressure on your temples or jaw.
Ever since RoHS took effect, lead weights have become pretty rare. Most people use a tungsten alloy that has the same density as lead. It could be lead though, it's hard to tell from the video.
It's definitely not tungsten. Tungsten is super expensive. Tungsten also isn't malleable at room temperature. I'd say it could be led. It's most likely a steel alloy, not straight up steel.
Probably zink, but certainly not improbable its actually lead. Zink is reasonably close to density of lead, easily cast, machined and processed (softer than gold), low toxicity, and cheap. One of the cheapest common-use metals these days, along with lead and iron.
Could be tin too, tin like zink has many of the same or very close properties as lead (including patina when moderately oxidized), but tin is way closer in hardness to lead. Tin is way more expensive though, but oxidize less easily. Zink is commonly used as a sacrificial anode on marine vessels and equipment, because of its mode of oxidation and corrosion, and it's low cost considering its relatively massive galvanic potential distance from most other metals including most steels.
Zink is still ~50% more expensive than lead (per weight, about equal per volume) but tin is 15 times as expensive as lead (per weight). Lead is in a few aspects more costly than it once was, but it's still half the price of mild steel.
In these very small quantities for a high value vs material use product, pricing isn't really that much of a consideration though. There's serious expenditures sunken into making this thing be as it is in most other aspects; it's certainly not a minimum cost production. They'd easily go with tin over zink or lead if that provided some other small process or availability benefit.
help, I need tungsten to live, tungsteeen!!
@@pr0xZen Pure steel yes, especially if you are using grades like 316 yes. A steel alloy is fractions of pure zink. Steel alloys are mixed with other metals usually made from recycled parts, making them fractions cheaper. Steel has a very weird state of properties depending on how it's forged and what other things are forged with it.. Take damascus steel for example. To this day the original damascus process is lost to time. If you heat steel and quench it in oil it will absorb the carbon. Steel has a very broad set properties.
I absolutely love these types of videos where Linus is given some sort of wonky or likely bad product and we just get to watch his blind reaction to all the weird or wonky stuff

I once got a pair of headphones on a plane that made it sound like the audio was being whispered into the back of your neck, and it was the most unsettling audio experience I've ever had. Well, it was the second most unsettling audio experience I've ever had. So when Linus was like "there's Jakes all around me" I got that. It really makes you feel like you're losing your mind.

I like that LTT’s intro music never changes.
I mean they did change it once, but I hope they don't change it ever again
I’ve been here long enough to see it change at least 3 times
It did change several times as the channel grew (check out their videos from 7 and 4 years ago), but I like the current melody better than any of the earlier ones, and I'd be happy if they never changed it again.

THE IMAGE ON THE SCALE SENDS ME
I loved watching Linus mildly freak out while trying to figure out which one was real.
When the Apple iPad was first released, I waited for a knock off version of it. After some shipping problems, I eventually got it and that's when I learned I should have gotten the real iPad. This fake iPad obviously ran Android OS on it, but the experience using it was bad. It was slow, had a plastic touchscreen which "bounced" when I typed on it, and the battery life sucked. I think it was the first electronic device I just threw away after a month of use (normally I either erase and reinstall the OS on a computer and give it to a family member or sell it).
Since then, I never bought a knock off electronic device - I stuck with the major brand names.
Yeah it's much better to buy from a cheap but major brand than a fake one
I was looking for a dead link in the description... the fact the dead link isn't there disappoints me. It was a perfectly good opportunity to slip in a subtle joke!
For the 200ish range I would suggest Sennheiser HD 6xx. One of the best IMO
They reviewed it before
"Try biting it."

@@ToxNano it absorbs into your blood just by having it in your mouth
For headphones, I shop for lightweight over almost everything else. For comfort reasons. It's completely barmy to add weights. I understand it feels premium, but it also ruins a major selling point.
Lighter headphones don't stay in place as well. The weight of the cord slowly pulls it off your head.
@@angolin9352 this is wireless though
mixing up the two was hilarious
What Linus said about "in-between" products is very true, and same goes for watches. You can buy a fake rolex for $50 and it will be quite shit, but it will sort of look like a rolex. However, if you got and pay $400-500 you will be getting a replica that can quite easily pass of as real.
Video Idea! Build a gaming PC with the lease amount of screws possible, would be fun to see what can get a way with 1 or even no screws!
Damn you getting all the ladies
Do not encourage that side of linus.
I can’t get behind the notion that the Max aren’t class leading for ANC headphones. The measurements show as much, especially the distortion measurements which are in a completely different universe compared to competing ANC cans.
Honestly I feel this company could legitimately grow themselves if they made their own products, they have at least some potential
no, they started wt the mindset for profit by ripping other's product that was built from some heavy investment. They will not innovate they most probably will just reverse engineer and rebrand some stuffs.
