I have two versions of Sennheiser Momentum, but I decided to “trial” the AirPods Max by buying them with the intent of return, because they’re over half a grand $$$.
After literally minutes of use, the thought to return them evaporated just as quickly.
Pretty much all because of the seamless connection.
To be fair to the Sennheisers, they are durable: they survived contact with a wall at least twice.
