Do they still have the charging issues? Quinn from Snazzy Labs said the other day that he was on his fourth replacement pair in under a year, all for the same issue. Lots of relies to his tweet made it sound like this is a fairly common issue.
Replaced 4 times for a charging issue sounds like total BS. I have the Max for almost a year and so far 0 issues.

I’m not going to pretend to have first hand knowledge, but it just seems like a weird thing to lie about.
No it is not a weird thing to lie about. It’s called trolling. It is way too easy to lie on the Internet. The Max is not junk, it is high quality.

I think $500 is a very reasonable price. I think $19 is a very reasonable price for a cleaning cloth. I think $999 is very reasonable for a display stand. I think Apple doesn't charge enough for their exquisite products.
