Apple Airpods Max - first sound sample (Patreon)

I shot a first video of the Airpods Max immediately after unboxing them in a park yesterday. But at home I noticed that the audio I captured was not 100% representative. I am not sure what the reason is, but I think that I simply couldn't find the correct position for the headphone when wearing my mics as I cannot judge the sound that well with mics inside my ears.
In the meantime I have listened with the headphones a lot more and know exaclty how to put them on, to get the best sound. I tried recording them again today and my current results sound quite a bit better than those from yesteray. Therefore I wanted to post this short comparison in order to not mislead people when watching my video which is still being encoded (a 45 Minute walk through Vienna needs some time haha). I think the Airpods Max sound considerably better than what I recorded with the video.

Some words about this sample:

it starts with the audio recorded oudoors yesterday immediately after putting them on. 

At 0:17 I switch to my recording from today, you can clearly hear a difference in treble response, which is much smoother when worn correctly (I still assume that I simply didn't find the perfect position for the headphones yesterday, another explanation could be that I didn't wear my mics correctly, but I was sure that in the meantime I managed to figure out how to insert my mics for consistent results, but maybe there is still some factor of uncertainty and I need to work a bit more on my consistency tests).

at 0:30 I switch back to the recording from yesterday and afterwards take the headphones off to talk about the change in sound when placing them differently (I just didn't know by then how to exactly place them to get the best and most representative sound). 

1:07 again my recording attempt of the Airpods Max from today, which appears much closer to how I actually hear them in reality. 

at 1:18 I put on my Focal Elex for comparison.

I think the general sound characteristics of the Airpods Max can be already judged quite well from this sample, especially my recording from today apears pretty realistic to me.

 I will have to do more tests and also measurements before starting the next recording attempts.
