    The fact that anyone can reverse engineer this is expected -- for anyone with any knowledge of software development.

    I'm not seeing a problem. Are you suggesting that they shouldn't use L and R?

    Why not look at what headphones use right now? I looked at the French pages for AirPods Max and they still show L and R despite that languages having different words for left and right, as I recall.

    All I've ever seen is L and R so it's either universally understand or they use a different label if and when they sell headphones in another country.

    The most important question that should've crossed your mind before posting is what has Apple been doing for the hundreds of millions of headphones they've been selling for decades.

    Don't listen to the troll claiming that using L & R is illegal. Yes, there are countries that have legislated that all documentation is to be delivered in the local language. It doesn't force labels to be conformant: no D/G instead of L/R in France. Nor are these laws applied systematically. I've installed software used by the French presidency & even though the delivery and general use documentation is in French, the reference documentation is still in English.

    No mic? I can't use it to talk with my iPhone? The fact that it has active noise cancellation proves it has some sort of mic in it, but not one I can speak into?

    You're almost right. Apple should have simply removed the L/R entirely and made the right ear cup Green and the left ear cup Red, thereby conforming the internationally unambiguous nautical Rules of the Road for Starboard and Port ship lighting and navigation channel markers. This would prevent rules compliant users around the world from donning the headphones incorrectly, and all disputes could be settled by the local Coast Guard in the affected countries. Wa la - no more language related ambiguity! How does that sound, matey? 

    Except that the buoy colors are inverted between North America & Europe. I learned "Red to Right Returning" in the US. It's inverted in France.

    Here have a xkcd on adding a new standard to federate 34 existing standards... Creating 35 standards.

    Looking over the description page at Apple.com, I looked closer at the volume knob and must wonder out loud what in the world were they thinking when they decided to put that closer to the BACK than the FRONT on top of the headphones? 

    The volume knob will be THE MOST USED function of these headphones. And if a person is lying down on a pillow, as shown in their video/ad, the odds that the volume knob will be accidentally moved or triggered have increased hugely. And the physically awkward placement will also make it more difficult to reach in those cases when something very loud suddenly blasts over the headphones.

    This is one of those slap yourself on the forehead moments. Form should never override function on something like headphones. 
    Before commenting, did you think to yourself "why don't people complain that the Digital Crown on iWatches keeps getting triggered by their shirtsleeve?". Naah, that'd be thinking and thinking is hard for some people.

    Apple took the digital crown from the iWatch for the Airpods Max. Digital crowns, like iPhone screen are capacitative, so unless you're wearing a shirt with conducive threads for the iWatch or pillow cases with same for the Max aren't triggered by just being brushed with fabric. Try thinking harder before posting and wasting everyone's time in the future.

    Or, you could just slap yourself on the forehead if that's what gets you to think.
