Air Pods Max. Totally worth it. Automatically turns on/off, automatically pairs with the device you're using. Active Noise Cancellation is a godsend, i.e. if you have people with lawnmowers around you, this will improve your life more than anything else you can buy. Effortless to clean. Ear cushions come off and you can just put them into the washing machine. Great build quality, has a nice volume dial with click sounds. Build-in microphones. Sound is top notch too.


Annoying and soon-to-be-obsolete Lightning charging port, though. I plan to buy the AirPods Max once they come out with a USB-C version.


There are lots of magnetic charging adaptors on Amazon and eBay which come with USB-C, Micro-USB, and Lightning tips, all of which share a common interface with their cables. Most of them seem to come from the same manufacturers; there are about three styles, and while no two are interchangeable, it's usually not hard to find a variety of sellers for whichever style you want.

Don't expect much in data support even from versions that claim to offer it, but they all deliver power just fine, and it's been getting on for a decade since I've had to screw around with finding the right cable to charge anything. Saves insertion cycles on the device connector socket, too.


Hard no on yet another adapter.


It's the last one. Your loss, though.


I love my AirPods Max, but the automatic pairing never worked very well for me. I ended up disabling it.
