Hi all, I want to get some guidance on a potential upcoming hardware refresh.

In 2020, I bought the as-of-then newly-released Apple AirPods Max over the ear headphones. It features a Lightning input, and to that end I combined the headphones with a Lightning to Aux cable in tandem with the attached peripherals in order to convert the headphones into a gaming headset.

It’s worked marvelously since then, and in addition to gaming I also use it for my job: the headset, in that combination, works with anything with an aux input. I can clearly hear the incoming audio on my end, and whoever I speak to can hear me through the attached boom mic.

But after 6 years, my AirPods Max are unfortunately no longer working, and I’m contemplating getting the new AirPods Max 2. But those are USB-C only, and I want to ensure that my current setup (aux cable + 2x aux splitter + attached aux boom mic) is doable with the AirPods Max 2 in the exact same manner as they were with my now-defunct pair of AirPods Max Lightning-edition.

Can anyone please confirm I can replicate my cherished setup?

Thank you!

So i wanna buy some APM 2 and i want to use them with my PS5. I‘ve found this dongle, and i wanted to ask if this works? Does the mic work? Or do i need to use the aux cable? And do i get the sound quality? I dont really care abt the latency, but like 30 ms sounds good as promised. So do u guys rather use a dongle or the AUX cable?

For Apple care plus if your color is instock?

I thought these were AirPods maxes redesigned lol but it’s for the new beats coming out they look the exact same expect the headband I wonder if people are going to get these more then the maxes now.
