No need to Google, it's from Apple's website.

because demand > supply?

Or simply extremely Low supply. Whether it is really supply constraints or the illusion of supply constraints, who knows?

Yep who knows.

Looking at the trend, you will probably be able to buy it from the stores earlier than the current delivery dates

Launch day and users are receiving their headsets

Quickie Reddit comparison to a bunch of audiophile gear:
https://reddit.com/r/airpods/comments/kd9hgz/christmas_came_early/

Seems like these compare well against the Sennheiser HD6XX, slight clarity loss but wireless and ANC make up for it. I’ve not heard the 6XX but they sound similar to the HD650s, which I have a pair of. Sony XM4s get left far far behind....Apple is playing with the big boys now.

He said ANC on par with XM4 but transparency mode is way better.

[bedlamite]

Was speaking in terms of sound quality

Transparency mode and also phone calls will be the best in AirPods Max due to the 9 microphones as well as 2 H1 chips.

I just tried it at Apple Orchard. Amazingly good seriously. Nothing an audiophile could find fault and complain about.

Except the folding part, I wish they could be like the Beats headphone whereby it’s folded inwards towards the headband. Rather than turning the cups sideways. And that 2 aluminium cups bumping into each other making that knocking sound, before you could put into the sleeves.

Agree with her that the crown placement seems awkward in actual usage. From her video she looked like monkey trying to turn the crown haha.
