Apple announced its new over-the-head headphones yesterday which will retail in India for a whopping Rs 59,900. However, apart from checking out the headphones and its features, people were more interested in the smart cover it comes with. While the audio device itself sounds great on paper, the smart cover seems to be the centre of attention thanks to its er… interesting design. 

The AirPods Max have been rumoured for a while with features like spatial audio, active noise cancellation, powered by Apple’s H1 chip. However, the AirPods Max also comes with a new smart cover that helps in conserving battery life when not in use. Having said that, the smart cover resembles  quite a few things from handbags to underwear to body parts. Naturally, Twitter was the first to point out the smart case’s design and here are our favourite comparisons:

What the **** is that https://t.co/mynuGtKpy0

Well, this is not the first time Apple has been made fun of due to odd designs, but we do feel the smart cover for the AirPods Max is a bit odd. It looks unlike anything we’ve seen and we expect to see memes on it for a while.  

What do you think about the AirPods Max and the smart cover? Do you think the new headphones by Apple will be as popular as the regular AirPods and are you willing to spend almost Rs 60,000 for a pair of headphones? Let us know what you think in the comments section.
