I don't see a mention of any socket, mini jack or micro jack; this is predictable but still unfortunate. I wish it was possible to use these with non bluetooth gear.

Update: I see a mention of the lightning connector (for charging) at https://www.apple.com/airpods-max/specs/ . I wonder if lightning to mini jack adapter would work with this product.

> AirPods Max require Apple devices running iOS 14.3 or later, iPadOS 14.3 or later, macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, watchOS 7.2 or later, or tvOS 14.3 or later.

Not even standard bluetooth.

I suspect that's referring to the "additional" features. If they are like the smaller airpods, they'll pair with any bluetooth device.
