On: Heavy is the Head that wears the AirPods Max

[ghaff]

I agree that good closed back over the ear headphones work well. The issue for me is that I travel light and never take something that big and heavy to use when flying.

Agreed. But the original article is about Airpods Max which are not small either. And he specifically talks about how heavy they are.

True. And I'd never buy a pair for that reason. (I wouldn't want them for travel and I don't need wireless or noise canceling for home.) For travel, I have in-ear Bose and (now) Airpod Pros. I wasn't interested in the original Bose over-ear for the same reason.
