airpods max refusing to connect

These are by far the best and worst headphones. I’d like to get the engineers who worked on these in a room and shoot paintballs at them. I have headphones that were a quarter the cost and produced in the decade I was born still work flawlessly. I too cannot connect them as they won’t show up on Bluetooth. For just 300 dollars I can send them in and get new ones. I have tried everything including using sim to remove headband. Nothing works. Apple needs to do better and fix these as there are swarms of people on Reddit with same issue. I won’t be rushing out to buy their new toys after how Apple has refused to take responsibility for the connectivity issues. I should have had them replaced when I was constantly resetting them back when it was under warranty. I ended my Apple developer subscription due to my frustration over the AirPod Max.
