- A: AnswerNot sure on impedance but rtings.com did a pretty good review of them going over sound signature with graphs/charts if you are into that sorta thing. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-max-wireless As far as the serious specifications goes... that is how Apple has decided to release/market these headphones. I don't think these are anywhere near targeted toward an audiophile who is looking for top-tier listening headphones. These are for Apple ecosystem users who have the money to spend on a premium product that is a step up from AirPods Pro. Now when I say premium I don't mean audio quality vs wired headphones but in their class (ANC, wireless, etc) they are really good. If you compare then against other wireless ANC headphones they will win most fights from sound quality, ANC, ease of use (if you're into the whole Apple ecosystem), swapping between devices seamlessly, etc. Their build quality (aside from the case, yikes) is leagues ahead of another competing ANC wireless headphones as aluminum and stainless steel aren't cheap materials and the machining is top notch. It's one of those, you're buying it for the whole package and the name kinda gigs. If you're questioning yourself as to "why would I buy it when I can get better stuff" then you probably aren't the target audience for it. I know that sounds weird to say but it's the same reason someone will spend extra on a high-end item like nice shoes, a purse, a watch, etc. They're buying it for the whole package and are willing to spend the extra money. Casio and Rolex both tell the time but the Casio will set you back $20, the Rolex $5,400. I'm not saying its right or wrong that's just how it is - Apple is a luxury brand and that's how they have placed themselves in the market.

- A: AnswerI can only speculate on the cost of the Airpods Max. Part of me thinks it is typical Apple product pricing. But then I compared the Airpods Max to the following headphones: Bose 700, Sony XM4, Sennheiser Momentum 3's. I initially returned the Airpods Max because they cost the most. However I soon realized I missed the sound quality and I purchased Airpods Max again. I am happy. I have since returned the aforementioned headphones. I believe the speaker drivers and internal components and sound quality justify the price for me.

Mr Apple
Best wireless over ear headphones available I absolutely LOVE these headphones, they’re by far the best overear headphones you can buy-especially if you own/use them with an Apple device. They’re absolutely top quality headphones that any audiophile would love and appreciate, and they’re also absolutely gorgeous and beautifully designed, as all Apple products are. I love the range of colors available as well. One of the biggest, most stand out features of these aside from the excellent sound quality is their exceptional noise cancellation. These have THE best noise cancellation of any headphone on the market, regardless of price. No matter how loud and busy the world around you is, once you turn on noise canceling, it completely shuts the world out and lets you enjoy perfect silence or allows you to listen to your music or watch videos/movies without any background noise affecting and disturbing you. I also like the controls on the headphones themselves, as it’s very simple and intuitive. There’s a dedicated button just for the noise canceling and transparency modes as well as a small dial similar to what’s on Apple Watches that controls volume as well as play/pause, skip/next track and previous track, and also allows you to summon Siri as well as answer or decline and end calls (you also can do all call and text functions by voice, as well as Siri reading out incoming texts to you) these headphones also work with Apples spatial audio and head tracking, which can be turned on/off any time, but it unfortunately is a feature only available when used with an Apple device, and one other cool feature only available with Apple devices is the Find My feature, which allows you to be able to always see where your headphones are on a map in the event you lose them, so it helps make sure you’re never going to lose these and always be able to find them, which is an awesome feature. The final Apple exclusive feature is the way that it connects to your device; you just place your device near the headphones and it automatically pops up on there and connects, making it extremely simple, easy, and fast. It also never ever loses its connection ever, regardless of how long you use them. But it’s just as simple and easy to connect to non Apple devices as any other Bluetooth headphone; you just turn on Bluetooth and hold down a button on the headphones to put it in pairing mode and then connect it to your device and its paired. The battery life on these are excellent as well, lasting for up to ~25 hours on a full charge when using full noise cancellation and near full volume. They’re also very comfortable to wear, with nice soft earcups made from comfy memory foam material and an extra soft headband with thin mesh material inside it to allow full airflow and prevents any sort of sweating like a leather headband would. Best Buy also offers 3 month trials of Apple Music/TV/News whenever you buy these, which is an awesome added bonus. They also have the cheapest price on these and often times will have them on sale for even cheaper-so if you see them and they’re on sale I highly suggest buying them before that sale ends! But in the unlikely event you find these for cheaper at another store or website, Best Buy will price match them-even if you’ve already bought them and then later notice they’re cheaper somewhere else, which is what I did when I bought these. I noticed a week later they were $40 cheaper on Amazon and I provided the proof to a team member on an online chat and they immediately adjusted my price for these to match that sale price. It was really cool how they did that for me and made my overall experience with buying these even better than it already was

Wow … the service & noise cancellation
So, I’ve got an interesting story first about the service, then about the product. I had a pair of Sony WH1000XM4’s I purchased a year ago and essentially after using them I realized they weren’t for me, they actually hurt my ears, and the noise cancellation made me nauseous, so essentially I forgot about them (don’t judge me lol). A year later I went to the best buy on 82nd in Portland, OR, and I tell them this, the product was essentially brand new, had the og box and had everything in it, let me say I did not expect to get any money back for these and thought since I’m nearby why don’t I give it a shot … they returned the entire product for me and let me pay the difference for a pair of Airpods Max’s, essentially all I had to pay for these were $132, absolutely fantastic, and I wanna thank Noah, Arianna & Johny for helping me & doing this for me, and this will be one of the many reasons I’ll be shopping at best buy for a long time. Now the product, ended up getting the Black Airpods Max’s, these are absolutely fantastic, ESPECIALLY the noise cancellation, like I said previously the Sonys made me sick, didn’t feel good on my ears, and actually gave me a headache & nausea but these? PERFECT, I’ve been on a 6-hour flight with these on and let me tell you when you turn that noise cancellation on, you hear nothing but what you want hear, example you watch a movie? You’re gonna hear everyone’s voices clearly and everything else around you is non-existent, and they don’t make me nauseous or give me a headache!!! I’d say arguably these are one of the best noise cancelling headphones on the market currently, the battery life is also great, I had these on for a total of 8 hours including my plane ride and didn’t have to charge them once, highly recommend for those looking for longer battery life headphones and especially ones for longer flights, the headphones are extremely comfortable as well, I had earrings on and put these on over them and my ears didn’t feel cramped and were very cushioned, and I love how you can remove them and buy newer ones, now these are my ears that find them comfortable, I’d recommend trying them on in store if your skeptical. Bluetooth is also fantastic whenever your phone is nearby instantly finds the max’s and connects them. There’s a few downsides I’ve found with these headphones 1) the sound quality and base, it’s not the best imo, but everything else makes up for it, so it’s alright with me, 2) essentially these will never turn off or don’t have an off button you put them in the case and goes on sleep mode and essentially that’s turning it off lol, this doesn’t bother me but it might bother some, essentially keep your charger close by and charge it every night, you’ll be fine, 3) the last thing is these are indeed on the heavier side, they didn’t give me headaches however … I’ve seen reviews of people who have the opposite reaction, honestly, testing them out in store and using them for at least half a hour will probably let you know if the weight is going to be an issue, or buy them, keep the box and accessories and return them brand new after a week of using and you can get your money back. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase, and I don’t plan on returning these ever lol, thank you so much to everyone at the 82nd and Portland, OR store for helping me out! I’ll be back when I need more electronics!

Apple AirPods Max product review
The Apple AirPods Max are nothing short of a revelation in the world of audio. As an avid music lover, I've tried my fair share of headphones, and these have set an entirely new standard. First and foremost, the sound quality is simply exceptional. The clarity, depth, and richness of the audio is unparalleled. Every note and nuance comes through with precision, whether I'm listening to classical symphonies or bass-heavy beats. It's an immersive experience that makes me rediscover my favorite tracks all over again. The Active Noise Cancellation is on another level. It effortlessly drowns out the hustle and bustle of the outside world, allowing me to get lost in my music. It's a game-changer for long flights and busy commutes. Comfort is key, and the AirPods Max excels in this department. The memory foam ear cups provide a plush, custom fit that's comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Plus, the stainless steel frame is both durable and stylish. The transparency mode is a stroke of genius. With a quick switch, I can seamlessly transition from total immersion to being aware of my surroundings. It's incredibly handy for staying connected in busy environments. The battery life is impressive, giving me hours of uninterrupted playback. The Smart Case not only keeps the AirPods Max safe but also puts them in an ultra-low-power state to conserve battery when not in use. The integration with the Apple ecosystem is seamless. Setting up and switching between devices is a breeze, and the spatial audio feature adds a new dimension to movies and TV shows. While the price point may be on the higher side, the AirPods Max are a testament to Apple's commitment to delivering a premium audio experience. They've raised the bar for what headphones can achieve, and I can confidently say they're worth every penny. In summary, the Apple AirPods Max are a must-have for anyone who values top-tier audio quality, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. They've become an indispensable part of my daily life, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. These headphones are a true masterpiece!
