And my dollar store earbuds have gone through the wash three times and still work.

Surely they sound great too. Noise reduction and all

I mean, of course my earbuds sound like garbage, but the airpod max should not break from sweat lol.

You do realize that for 500$+ you can safely enter audiophile territory with significantly higher quality and noise canceling. Not everyone is gullible to believe Apple makes best and for some people bare minimum would do just fine. For fucks sake you can get bone conducting bluetooth headphones for swimming at around 150$. Not to mention Sennheiser HD600 is in 300$ range, which is ... so much better than anything Apple will ever produce.

But the huhduh 600 have no anc, and require a dac to carry them around.

The maxes are ridiculously overpriced but other than that they are great headphones with a really low number of direct competitors (being good sounding wireless headphones with noise cancelling). In that regard im really happy with mine. They might be cheaper and lighter but the anc blows anything i tried out of the water and they sound great too (relative, so feel free to hate me for saying it, but a lot of people praised how they sound)

How do you stand those things?? I've tried dollar tree headphones and they were awful awful. I like VE monks as beaters
