Apple new $549 AirPods Max over-ear headphones don't come with a power adapter or an audio cable.
The move continues a trend the company started with its new 5G iPhone 12 models. Customers will be left to purchase a charger on their own or use one they already have.
Since the AirPods Max use a Lightning connector, if you want to connect the headphones to a standard audio port you'll need to purchase a Lightning to 3.5mm audio cable which Apple sells for $35. Add that to the $19 20W power adapter and the full cost of your AirPods Max comes to $603+tax.

More cash grab. Ngl if you truly are sticking with Apple ecosystem, it’s not worth buying them at MSRP anymore. Just wait for deals now.

Another crazy thing is the Beats Studio 3 Wireless have such similar features that the average listener wouldn’t notice enough difference between the two. I’ve seen the Beats on sale for 1/4 of the price of the AirPods Max.
