A: No, exactly the same these are not "Airpod Max 2" as some may try to label it, its essentially a reskin with a different port. 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.

Great, but heavy and expensive
These headphones are comfortable (for the most part), produce great quality noise, have long-lasting batteries, great noise cancellation, are adjustable and sturdy. The reason I say they are comfortable "for the most part" is because they are rather heavy. I cannot wear them for prolonged periods of time, maybe 2 hours maximum. Also, I love that they don't bother my ears. I have 7 ear piercings (including my cartilage) and these are big enough to wrap around my ear without feeling any discomfort and generally have a comfortable fit around my ears. Additionally, I love the wide variety of colors that they come in. The device is also easy to use with a button for pausing/playing, adjusting the volume, and changing the noise cancellation setting. Comes with a case and charger. I took off a star for the heaviness and cost of the item. I'm sure you can find comparable headphones for a lower price.

My experience
I am absolutely blown away by the AirPods Max! These headphones have completely transformed my listening experience. The sound quality is exceptional—rich, clear, and balanced across all frequencies. The deep bass, crisp highs, and clear mids make every song feel like a live performance. I was honestly surprised by how immersive the audio is, and it’s hard to go back to any other headphones after hearing these. The noise cancellation is a game-changer. It’s incredibly effective at blocking out distractions, whether I’m on a noisy commute or in a busy café. With Transparency mode, I can seamlessly switch to hearing my surroundings when needed, which adds to the overall convenience. Comfort is another standout feature. The memory foam ear cushions fit perfectly around my ears, and the breathable knit mesh canopy on the headband distributes weight evenly, making them comfortable for long listening sessions without any pressure or discomfort. The design is sleek and premium, as expected from Apple. They feel sturdy and well-built but are still relatively lightweight for over-ear headphones. The controls are intuitive—digital crown for volume and playback control, and everything pairs seamlessly with my Apple devices via Bluetooth. Battery life is solid, offering up to 20 hours of high-fidelity audio with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio on. Plus, the carrying case is sleek and keeps the headphones safe and secure when not in use. Overall, the AirPods Max deliver an unparalleled audio experience with great comfort, incredible sound quality, and top-notch noise cancellation. If you’re looking for high-end, luxury headphones, these are absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

Amazing, Give me 14 more.
I love these headphones and use them everyday since purchasing. The sound is great and noise cancellation is immaculate. Battery Life is amazing too. Sidenote: I’ve been on 1% the past 2-3hrs. The color is nice I’m happy these are Lavender because my options are low when it comes to my color. No fading or scratches. I did get a protective cover for them though so I’d recommend even though it’s durable. Only thing I don’t like is that you have to have it in the case to turn off. It also gets dirty easily since it’s white, BUT you can take these apart and wash them.
