I would save them in the original box in case you have to ship the Airpods Max back for some reason. Notice, the reason they sound so tinny is that you are blocking the speaker with the solid plastic back of those protective covers. And, they are lose, not going to give you the noise cancelation you get with the foam pads, which are extremely comfortable and amazingly good sound blockers.

They should be removed and discarded. Thus, the proper Airpods Max setup consists of the aluminum earcups to which the ear pads are attached; nothing additional goes over the ear pads. In other words, when wearing the headphones, the soft foam of the ear cushions should be in contact with your head. I hope that this clarifies the situation. Regards, Robert Hooper, Esq.

And yes I think that wearing the airpods max without the padded ear piece would be very uncomfortable. So, they are meant to be worn with the padded ear pieces.

On each ear piece is a soft foam material and a hard plastic shell. Both the foam and the shell are detachable. My question is, is the hard plastic shell meant to be worn? I ask because when I wear the headset with the hard plastic shell attached. the audio has a tinny quality and my ears really start to hurt within 30 minutes or so. So i am wondering if this hard plastic shell is meant to be worn, or just to be used when the headset is stored. If you want to laugh, please do it either before or after you answer this message.
