Apple - AirPods Max - Silver

First let’s address the elephant in the room. $600 for a pair of headphones is pricey. It took me about 1-2 weeks before I finally convinced myself that the price can be justified after reading up on the reviews. These earphones are seriously impressive. I also have the AirPod pros, and the noise cancellation on these is like x5 as good as the pros. Beautifully crafted and nice premium feel. My only gripe is that you cannot adjust the length of the flex band. I was actually shocked when I first put them on and thought maybe I was missing something. After a few days, the earphones adjusted to my head size (I have a big head), but even still putting them on are uncomfortable at first. The sound quality and noise cancellation is honestly worth the trouble and price though, so as long as you are not sacrificing your rent or bills for them, definitely put these on your must buy list.

I couldn't believe the sound quality and noise cancellation on these things! Sure the price is less than ideal, but I believe you get what you pay for here! I'd recommend spending the extra money on AppleCare+. With an investment this big for something you take many places, it's worth it just in case. My major issue is the wired mode. They don't work with any other adapters except the overpriced Apple one. Or so it seems. I have one on the way from them after buying one third-party one on amazon that didn't work with them. That cable was Apple-certified as well. All in all, I say if you have an iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, or TVOS device go for it!

Best pair of headphones I’ve bought to date, the design is solid, but very light weight, the noise cancellation does a solid job keeping loud noises from preventing you from listening to your music when outside in the city or vacuuming at home. Now the only downside is they are closed back which means no air flow so it does get a bit warm when wearing for long periods. But that’s only a minor issue. The buttons are very easy to find when wanting to turn up the volume or turn on/off noise cancellation to have a quick chat with someone. And when noise cancellation is off it makes it seem you don’t even have headphones on anymore which is crazy. And to leave off these are the easiest headphones to set up with any Apple device and they automatically name them for you so that’s one less thing to worry about.

THE BEST. Simply stated. I ordered these thinking they wouldn’t match up to Bose, B&O, M&D, and all the other Magnolia products and I was blown away. The hard thing to stomach is the price, but, they performed better than the rest. I’ve tested the Bose 700 series, Sony WH-1000XM4, Sennheiser Momentum, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9, Bower $ Wilkins PX7, and the Master & Dynamic MW65. None of them compare in sound quality, overall look, weight, and design. The Sennheiser Momentum headphones had a great bass kick, but that was it. The interchangeability of the AirPods Max really sells me on them as well. Ear paddings are magnetic and easy to replace, clean sleek design where you can add silicone earphone covers for protection. All around great design from Apple that I was not expecting.

What to say about these headphones? If you’re an iPhone user, and you’ve had difficulty with other brands Bluetooth connectivity, then these are for you! They’re essentially Bose-level headphones, with the AirPods realizability. The bass levels are excellent, and comfort is fantastic. The magnetic ear pads are a really nice touch. They’re expensive, but if you’re an audiophile that doesn’t mind paying for tip quality, then that shouldn’t be an issue.

The sound was not what I expected,I guess because I use different types of headphones for studio recording and production.But for some strange reason they’re helping me with my mixing because I’m able to connect with my Mac Pro 2013 Model and I can get an idea how my mix will sound with stereo headphones ,based on the fact that I’m able to hear exactly what I’m hearing in my DAW (Reasons). The AirPod Max gives you a true flat response without adding too much bass frequencies so that your able to mix and add more bass if it’s needed. On certain reviews I’ve heard they have a high end sound but what I heard was more of a true flat sound. As for the design I kinda of like them but after an hour or so they can get uncomfortable. I purchased an open box so the price was ok for me .

This noise canceling OMG! Insane, very well constructed, just a little bit sad that apple isn't bringing the Loseless sound to these big boys for now I think! Let’s see

I do have an issue with condensation “naturally” forming inside of the ear cups after a few hours of use.
