    Q: Will the noise canceling silence the voices in my head?

    A: All of my inner voices suddenly disappeared. I can finally be at peace.

    Q: What is the impedance in these headphones? Also, why are no serious specifications even listed for those of us, for the same money, could potentially buy infinitely better headphones sound quality-wise.

    A: Not 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.

    Q: Can I engrave it? How can I engrave an imprint?

    A: Engravings are provided only if you purchase the product from Apple's site, not from a third-party.

    Q: Are these Water Resistant?

    A: No, these headphones offer no water or sweat resistance.

    Q: Why are these headphones so expensive? I am surprised that Apple made a profit this year with pricing this low. You must stop giving your products away.

    A: I 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.

    Q: Can you connect to android phones?

    A: Yes. They connect to any Bluetooth enabled device. Though certain features (like spatial audio/head tracking) only work with apple devices. But I use these with my iPhone/iPad/MacBook as well as my windows computer at work.

    Q: Can you use audio cord to hook up or are they wireless only

    A: Yes, but you need to order a separate lightning to 35mm cord that does not come with it. #35.

      AirPods Max Pink: A Symphony of Style and Sound

      When it comes to blending cutting-edge technology with high fashion, Apple’s AirPods Max in pink stands out as an unparalleled masterpiece. These over-ear headphones are not just a feast for the ears but also a sight to behold, exuding elegance and sophistication. Design & Comfort: 10/10 From the moment you unbox the AirPods Max Pink, you’re greeted with a level of luxury that is quintessentially Apple. The stunning pink hue is both vibrant and subtle, striking a perfect balance that complements any outfit. The anodized aluminum ear cups are cool to the touch and flawlessly crafted, giving off a premium feel. The breathable knit mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions provide a snug, yet incredibly comfortable fit. Even during extended listening sessions, the AirPods Max Pink feels like a gentle embrace for your ears, making them ideal for both work and leisure. Sound Quality: 10/10 The true magic of the AirPods Max Pink lies in its audio performance. Apple has outdone itself, delivering a soundstage that is rich, immersive, and finely detailed. The custom-built driver produces deep, punchy bass, precise mids, and crystal-clear highs, ensuring that every note and beat is faithfully reproduced. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is nothing short of spectacular, effectively drowning out the chaos of the outside world. Whether you’re on a bustling street or in a noisy office, the AirPods Max creates a serene listening environment, allowing you to lose yourself in your music or podcast. Spatial Audio: 10/10 One of the standout features is the Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. This innovation transforms the listening experience, making you feel as though you’re right in the middle of a concert hall or a cinema. The sound moves around you in a three-dimensional space, creating a lifelike and immersive audio experience that is truly breathtaking. Connectivity & Features: 10/10 Seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem is another hallmark of the AirPods Max Pink. Pairing is instantaneous and effortless, and switching between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac is smooth and intuitive. The Digital Crown, inspired by the Apple Watch, provides precise control over volume, playback, and Siri, enhancing the overall user experience. Battery life is impressive, with up to 20 hours of high-fidelity audio, talk time, or movie playback with ANC and Spatial Audio enabled. And with the Smart Case, the AirPods Max enters an ultra-low-power state to preserve battery life when not in use. Conclusion: The AirPods Max Pink is not just a pair of headphones; it’s a statement. It represents the pinnacle of audio engineering and design, wrapped in a stunning pink exterior that turns heads. If you’re looking for a blend of aesthetic appeal, unmatched comfort, and superior sound quality, the AirPods Max Pink is the ultimate choice.

      The AirPods Pro Max are an exceptional upgrade in the world of wireless headphones, and I’m beyond impressed with their performance. The sound quality is unparalleled—rich, clear, and immersive across all genres of music, podcasts, and movies. The bass is deep and punchy without overwhelming the mids and highs, making for a balanced listening experience. The spatial audio feature is a game-changer, creating a surround sound effect that makes everything feel more dynamic and lifelike. One of the standout features is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). It’s incredibly effective at blocking out ambient noise, whether I’m on a plane, in a crowded coffee shop, or just in a noisy environment. The transparency mode is equally impressive, allowing you to hear your surroundings clearly when needed without taking off the headphones. The build quality is premium, with a sleek, modern design that’s both sturdy and comfortable. The memory foam ear cups provide a secure fit, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort. The battery life is solid, offering up to 20 hours of listening time with ANC on, which is perfect for long trips or extended listening sessions. The integration with Apple devices is seamless, and the H1 chip ensures quick connectivity and smooth switching between devices. The controls on the ear cup are intuitive, with simple touch gestures for volume, playback, and calls. Overall, the AirPods Pro Max offer top-tier sound quality, comfort, and noise cancellation, making them a fantastic investment for audiophiles or anyone who values premium audio. They’re definitely worth the price for the incredible performance and features they provide!

      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!
