This price is old enough that it should be rechecked before relying on the verdict.
AirPods Max pricing is relatively clear through official Apple stores, but Indian authorised retailer offers, bank discounts, colour availability, and sale pricing can change the practical comparison. Recheck final checkout pricing before buying.

Apple warranty support is usually better than many other imported categories, but invoice, region, service eligibility, and replacement terms should still be checked before importing.
