So here we are, a year later. After a very bad, terrible, no good year, AFB may be one of the happiest places in the country. The split adjusted price last January 1 was $73.41, for a gain of $59.28 (80.75%). Not much worthwhile news today, but PED had a pretty good outlook for the coming year with Apple’s secret roadmap, even if it is not a secret to AFB’ers.

This doesn't sound good for such a well-received and sold out Apple product. Has anyone had personal experience with the AirPods Max or heard any additional information about the problem? Both stories point to a design problem. Some personal experiences mentioned in the comments. Some have no problem, others have noticed condensation. Apple AirPods Max Showing Condensation Issues Near Drivers, Some Users ReportSome AirPods Max owners report condensation issue inside ear cupsIt’s not an Apple product launch if the new gadget hasn’t been scrutinized on Twitter for various — what often turn out to be edge case — issues. As for the company’s latest AirPods Max, some owners of the high-end headphones are now reporting an issue with condensation inside the ear cups…
An AirPods Max condensation issue?
Condensation generally happens when a cold object is adjacent to warmer, humid air, and that appears to be what’s happening in some cases for AirPods Max owners. Unlike most competing headphones, AirPods Max are primarily made of metal, making it more likely that they will get cool enough to start picking up water from the warmer air inside the air cups — which will only get even more humid with sweat.
A handful of people have mentioned they’ve experienced the issue, and multiple people have reported that they’re seeing some of this collected H2O making its way inside the speaker holes to the drivers.
Some likely causes
Based on the reports we’ve seen so far, it’s likely this condensation is the nature of owning a pair of these mostly metal AirPods Max headphones, although it is somewhat concerning that some seem to be experiencing this issue without doing anything particularly unusual with their headphones.
The simple physics of the matter suggests that any humid, warm environment in which colder metal exists will result in some amount of condensation. So while no AirPods Max owners at 9to5Mac have seen this issue, it’s likely that the right combination of circumstances — a cold-enough room, using them during exercise, using them for a certain amount of time, humidity levels in the air — simply haven’t happened yet.
