Apple AirPodsMax can get a $349 model from a plastic design
The upcoming cheaper AirPods Max is likely to compete directly with products such as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II and Sony WH-1000XM4. Apple released its first pair of Bluetooth headphones, the AirPods Max, in late 2020. The headphones cost $549, well above the usual low price of $300 from their direct competitors. It is not one of the common products of touch. Apple decided to bring the digital crown of the watch to its latest product. Now, it is reported that the company is working on cheap alternatives to high-quality headphones.
According to LeaksApplePro on Twitter, Apple is working on a cheaper alternative to the AirPods Max. According to the tweet, the device costs $349. To achieve this cost, the company can make some major changes to the design.
This new pair of headphones may be made of plastic. By contrast, the AirPods Max operator has textured anodized aluminum headphones and stainless steel headbands. The upcoming cheaper variants are likely to compete directly with Bose QuietComfort 35 II and Sony WH-1000XM4.
Although the prompt does not reveal other details of the cheap AirPods Max feature, we hope it will include active noise reduction. In addition, it may include functions such as spatial audio and transparent mode. In addition, 20 hours of battery life can be provided on a single charge.
At the same time, Apple is also trying to succeed in AirPods and AirPods Pro. The former is not expected to support the company's noise reduction function. It is rumored that Cupertino's company is working with a domestic materials partner to develop a system-in-package (SiP) product containing Apple's H1 chip, which is an AirPod audio driver chip. The upcoming AirPods will be about 20% cheaper than the AirPods Pro with active noise reduction technology. There are rumors that Apple is also trying to upgrade its existing AirPods Pro.
