Like most self-identifying audio quality fans who use Apple products, I'm excited about the idea of an AirPods Max 2 model. The original AirPods Max are incredible-sounding headphones with excellent Apple-specific features, so a newer and better version of that is just what the digital music doctor ordered.
But a second version hasn't been looking very likely. This year's rumors suggest that the successor isn't coming until 2024, which wasn't much of a surprise and wasn't something I had any issue with personally… until recently.
