Absolutely amazing I used them everyday at the gym, school, at home, for my walks and more glad I purchased them!

After being an early adopter of the first Airpod Max, it has felt like an eternity for this inevitable upgrade. USB-C is so convenient and completely removes the need for a complicated wired audio solution. The Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness are such a welcome addition its crazy to think how long we lived with out it. The audio quality continues to be incredible. Watching a movie on my Apple TV with these is so nice. Overall, if you have a first gen you can feel good about this upgrade, and if you have been on the fence, this is the perfect set of headphones.

I picked up the AirPods Max 2 mainly for how seamlessly they work across my Apple devices, especially between my Apple TV and Mac—and they absolutely deliver on that. Switching between devices is effortless and one of the standout features for me. In terms of design and sound, they check the boxes. They look great, feel premium, and the audio quality is solid—everything sounds clear and well-balanced whether I’m watching something or listening to music. That said, they’re not perfect. The biggest downside is the weight. They’re noticeably heavy, and after extended use, you do start to feel it. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s something to be aware of if you plan to wear them for long stretches. Overall, if you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem, the seamless device switching alone makes these a compelling option. Just be prepared for a bit of heft during longer listening sessions.
