A: No, exactly the same these are not "Airpod Max 2" as some may try to label it, its essentially a reskin with a different port. Sound quality and build quality is still top tier but in terms of some of the features seen in the newer airpod pros these are not exempt since it is older internal hardware.
Q: Can you talk on the phone with them?
A: Yes, and the Apple AirPods Max does a remarkable job at it. I frequent a coffee shop where the noise level can become high. I've used these headphones to talk to people on my phone and I've asked if the person on the other side can hear me. Every time they have told me they easily could hear what I said. With the quality noise cancellation these headphones have I am able to easily hear the person on the other end.
Q: Can I inspect in person before buying?
A: I don’t think so maybe if you do the purchase in store not if ordered online but they will not sell broken ones
Q: Can these be used with Smart TVS (if the TV is Bluetooth compatible)?
A: Yes, they can be used with Smart TVs as long as the TV supports Bluetooth audio. You pair them like any other Bluetooth headphones. Keep in mind that some TVs may have slight audio delay (lip-sync) and you won’t get Apple-specific features like automatic device switching or Spatial Audio controls unless you’re using an Apple TV. For the best experience, Apple TV works the most seamlessly, but standard Bluetooth Smart TVs will still work fine for watching shows and movies.
Q: What is the "year" and version?
A: AirPod Max 2025
Q: Is this box open and the item used?
A: No. Was new out of the box
Q: does the earphone max comes with usb cord?
A: Usb c to c to charge it

Love it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent purchase! I'm delighted with these headphones. The sound is clear, powerful and well balanced, with very good bass without distortion. They are super comfortable, even after wearing them for several hours, and fit perfectly. The battery lasts a long time, they connect quickly and the audio quality for calls is also excellent. In addition, the design is modern and elegant. Without a doubt, they exceeded my expectations. I recommend them 100% for music, calls and daily use. They are totally worth it!

I wanted to love these, but…
I really wanted to love these. The sound quality is truly amazing, the best I’ve ever experienced from any kind of in-ear or over-ear. I read a lot of reviews before deciding to try them and kind of ignored that many people mentioned the weight. The weight is definitely a factor for me. The catalyst for even considering AirPods this expensive is because my ears push my AirPod pros out. I had found some things that were working OK to help keep them in my ears, but those were kind of a pain given that I still wasn’t getting the sound experience I should be getting from AirPod Pro. I kept these AirPods Max for a couple of weeks and made a point of very carefully using them as much as possible to try and evaluate if they are right for me. The big thought I was having when I decided to make the purchase is we travel overseas at least once a year and I really wanted to have long battery life, really good sound, and total noise cancellation while on international flights. What I discovered is the weight of them makes my neck a little tired after a while and if I take them off, it is really not comfortable to wear them around my neck. Things I didn’t realize were important until after I had them: I often use one AirPod. It allows me to remain focused on what’s going on in the room but still enjoy a little music or have Siri talk to me in my ear rather than announce to the whole room what’s going on with my phone. I set a lot of reminders and alarms to keep me on task and on track and on time. So as I actually tried to find how and when I would use these, what I discovered is I wouldn’t use them very often, and the times when it’s really appropriate for me to use them, they aren’t very comfortable. Two big design flaws: the ear cups bang together if you’re not wearing them and they are not in the little case. That will eventually dent and scratch the corners. I found some silicone covers for about $20 on Amazon that worked great to protect them, but it irritated me that after spending that much money, I needed to buy something else just to keep them in good condition. Also, there is no way to turn them off without putting them in the magnetic case. So if you just take them off your ears and put them around your neck the battery continues to run down. Apple has a lot of work to do here. In my humble opinion, there’s a very small audience of people who would actually love these. To me, definitely not worth the money.

Worth every penny — next-level sound and comfort
I’ve owned several pairs of headphones over the years, but the AirPods Max easily top them all. The sound quality is incredibly rich — clear highs, deep bass, and balanced mids that make everything from classical to hip-hop sound amazing. The noise cancellation is on another level; once you put them on, the world fades away. The new USB-C charging is super convenient, and the battery easily lasts me through long study sessions and gym workouts without needing a recharge. The Starlight color looks even better in person — sleek, subtle, and premium. Connectivity is flawless as always with Apple — quick pairing and zero dropouts between my iPhone and MacBook. They’re definitely pricey, but if you value premium build and immersive audio, they’re worth it.
