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.

      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.

      Amazing Product

      These were sooo worth the buy! I wear them to the gym, at home and on walks. They are very comfortable and keep a charge for a long time. I recently took these on vacation with me and let me tell you the noise cancellation kept me from hearing the crying baby that was a row in front of me the entire flight. If you’re looking for comfort, great sound and stellar noise cancellation the AirPod Maxes are what you need.
