My AirPods Max broke so I switched to headphones that are half the price – and actually, I wouldn’t go back

The Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 and AirPods Max propped up in front of a pink background.

When my AirPods Max broke at the beginning of the year, I was faced with a difficult decision: double down and spend another $549 / £499 / AU$899 on headphones that certainly haven't dropped in price since their December 2020 release (and might let me down again) or find a pair that I could count on.

Swapping them for a pair of headphones that cost half as much has made me realize there’s something better out there for me. And I’d argue there’s something better out there for you, too.
