From the author:

At one point or another, I’ve owned each iteration of Airpods. Each has its advantages and disadvantages but my preferred headset is the Max. Not just because of the price tag, but the comfort of the over-the-ear headphones is unmatched. I used them for everything such as talking on the phone, gaming on my consoles, or blocking out the noise while reading. The only time I don’t use them is when I’m running errands or on the go. As a huge music lover and gamer, I’ve used headphones all my life and there really has been no match on comfort if you can afford the price tag.
