Recently, leaker LeaksApplePro revealed on Twitter that Apple intends to launch a cheap version of AirPods Max, reducing the original price of 549 US dollars headset wireless headphones to only 349 US dollars. In order to compete with Sony Wh-1000XM4 equivalent rivals.
It is unknown whether the cheap version referred to by the whistleblower who is quite familiar with Apple is the sports version of AirPods Max Sport rumored earlier. To lower the price by US$200, it is expected that specifications and functions will be adjusted. LeaksApplePro stated that the fuselage will be changed from the current metal to plastic materials. However, Apple has always placed strict requirements on materials. I believe that even the cheap version will not be too difference.
In addition to the lower cost of using plastic, another advantage is that it is expected to be lighter than metal. Foreign media estimate that active noise reduction, spatial sound, transparent mode and battery life will be maintained, but the quality of the headphone driver may be reduced to save costs. LeaksApplePro said that there is no release date for the cheap version of AirPods Max, and it is only confirmed that Apple is in preparation.
