Customer Ratings & Reviews

We’re an Apple family so I’m a little biased. I purchased these as a birthday gift for my husband. He immediately had a work trip and left them behind. I’ve been using them and wow! The noise cancellation has been AMAZING while solo parenting. The quality of the sound is also great. The only thing I dislike is a the carrying case. I wish it was more protective. The can also make your ears sweat if wearing for awhile.

This is definitely a premium audio experience (not audiophile, premium) for the users who have a lot of Apple products or are used to how the Apple ecosystem works. The sound quality is good enough that it will impress most people, and the seemless connection between Apple products makes it a better option than most other headphones in this price range. Also the proprietary spacial audio technology that Apple uses, combined with the effective active noise cancellation (ANC) makes watching movies in a noisy environment a special experience. The head tracking truly makes it sound like you are watching a movie in front of a Dolby Atmos entertainment system in a theater. As for the drawbacks, the usual stuff that everyone talks about. The case is not great. I am not alone in wanting a way to fully switch off the headset. But is okay to live with until the second generation comes out to address this issue. Also along those lines, I would like a way to see the battery percentage without putting them on and checking my device. Those two things arent a huge deal if you are going to leave them plugged into a lightning connector most of the time they aren't being used, but for someone who travels a lot and is dependent on battery availability, I could imagine it would get quite annoying. If you aren't switching between Apple devices all the time, or want to save money, then you would probably be better off with the competition from Sony or Bose.

I love using my AirPods for workouts or studying!!

Love the aesthetic and luxurious design I love them for travel and for the gym sound is beautiful.It lasts so long

I love my airpods but I do not use them very often.

A recent move displaced my Sony XM4s. I’ve looked everywhere and am thinking one of the movers is wearing my Sony’s even as I type this. I make international business trips 6-8 times per year and ANC is a must to keep me sane! With that being said, I made the trip to BB to see what my current options are. I tried each of the big 3 and the Airpod Max won out. Granted, they are much more expensive than Bose and Sony but the seamless move between my iPad and iPhone is a big seller. I thought the sound quality was the best of all 3 and the larger cans fit my dumbo ears much better. Very comfortable. So today, I board the plane for a trip to Africa strapping on the Maxs.

Excellent product, I love it. 100 % recommended Not regret at all.

So glad I bought these! I work in an open office environment and it is always loud. These headphones are absolutely perfect! I love the mesh on the top, it doesn’t dig into my head and hurt like other styles do, even when I wear them for hours on end. And major points for them fitting comfortably around my ears, no pain or pressure points like many of the round versions. And the noise cancellation? Out of this world amazing! The battery life is fantastic, and they charge up quickly.

Excellent product , o really love it . Great product

Really happy with these. The convenience of these just working seamlessly with all my apple products and the amazing sound quality makes it my favorite apple product that's come out in a long time. If you have an Apple TV, you will have another reason to love these. Honestly the best feature about these, aside from the sound quality are the noise cancellation and transparency modes. Transparency mode is like wearing a hearing aid because I can hear better with it on than with my own ears! Way better ANC than the AirPods pro and my old headphones (bowers and wilkins px). Pro tip #1: I have a big head and initially the clamping force felt kind of strong on my head. Wasn't a fan of it. I kind of just wore them in over time and also flexed them apart a bit and now they fit my giant head better. They're super comfortable. Pro tip #2: the seal is so good on the earpads that if you press the headphones against your ears, it will create a suction that, for me, is unpleasant. You'll know what I mean. Just don't press them against your head. Pro tip #3: $35 cable is worth it if you're seeking the best sound quality. Listening to lossless music on Tidal through my external DAC is a great experience. The SQ difference isn't enormous because it's already pretty good via airplay, but it's worth it to me to have the option and the cable also gets rid of the audio latency and that lets me edit videos.

Best Headphones you can get in my opinion. The noise cancellation is unparalleled. I really love the fact that you can use adaptive volume control and also answer phone calls on them. Perfect for the gym.

At first, i didn't like the weight, but after a while, you start to not notice it after a very long time. I was impressed with how unique these headphones are. I highly recommend them! I also love the magnetic ear cuffs that leave room for making your headphones customizable and unique! The sound is amazing!!! Sounds exactly like air pods but over your ears! The option to turn off and on thr noise cancelation is fanominal and easier to hear your surrounds whennyoure in public without taking your headphones off. Also is esthetically pleasing to the eye with your podcast set up, your outfit, office, etc. Overall after having them for a month i still really enjoy using them and will still highly recommend buying yourself a pair! It may be peicy but i think its the best investment you'll never regret.

Good quality feels a little heavy, but noise cancelling is great on them.

I bought these headphones on a whim thanks to PayPal Pay-In-4, since I was going to do a lot of air travel and heard these were the best noise canceling headphones available, while also having incredible audio quality. I can confirm that yes, the noise cancelling fades a loud aircraft engine to a low hum which gets drowned out by clean punchy bass and clear vocals. I’m not much of an audiophile, but even compared to my $150 Fidelio X2HRs, I can tell the difference in detail in well mastered songs. I’ve finally had that cool moment of noticing details in songs I’ve never heard before because my AirPods just couldn’t cut it. Even podcasts and videos have vastly improved vocal clarity which surprised me at first. Spatial audio is a cool technology Apple likes to promote, but it’s pointless to enable on TV shows available in stereo, and I’d rather watch movies on my TV or laptop, so I’ll have to wait until macOS Monterey and tvOS 15 to really try out the feature. From what I’ve sampled using my iPhone though, the technology works very well. The last feature I really love about these headphones is the under appreciated Transparency Mode. Thanks to the eight or so microphones lining these headphones plus Apple’s processors, it really sounds like you aren’t even wearing headphones when this mode is enabled. Pausing your audio or turning it down makes it entirely possible to have conversations without even taking off the headphones. Having a button to instantly toggle transparency and noise cancellation makes these headphones a perfect set to wear outside your home. They are comfortable too. I’ve never gotten a headache from long term use, which happens with most headphones I’ve tried, although if you wear glasses you may feel more pressure on the side of your head. I bought the cable to use these headphones wired since the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have Bluetooth, and while you have to turn the volume on the headphones all the way up (device and headphone volume is separate when wired), the quality was still excellent and noise cancelling and transparency still work and can still be toggled with the button. Battery life seems to be the advertised 20 hours and the weird sleep mode case thing is stupid and unprotective, and I can tell the aluminum cups will show scratches on the corners eventually since they knock together whenever I remove them from the case. Overall, highly recommend for Apple users if you can accept their quirks and inconveniences in certain situations

Best headphones I’ve ever had just off the sound quality alone these are unmatched and first try on is crazy. The noise cancellation is amazing i play music very low with the noise cancel on and can’t hear anything. I had been in the market looking for headphones for a month and nothing compares to the Apple air max for the price and quality ! For school and focus this has been the best purchase I’ve ever made. The asthetic and the easy adjustability of the length to your ear makes a custom fit for every head. Not to mention the sleek color and mesh crown keep tye light evenly distributed. The aluminum these headphones are made up is extremely solid built to last long. The simple buttons are customizable and simple to use. Overall I’d buy these headphones over and over again Best investment I’ve made all of 2023!

CRISP sound no matter the genre. The personalized setting is honestly one of the coolest features to date. I’ve had plenty of Beats over the ear headphones but the Air Pod Max’s are in a league of their own!!

The AirPods Max delivers exceptional audio quality, making it a delight for audiophiles. Its Active Noise Cancellation is outstanding, creating an immersive listening experience. The design is premium and comfortable, ideal for extended use. Battery life is impressive, with over 20 hours of playback on a single charge. While on the pricier side, it justifies the cost with its performance and Apple ecosystem integration.

Worked really well; paired easily with iPhone and other Bluetooth enabled devices. Doesn't hear the ear like smaller headphones like this which is a big plus. Highly recommend!

The quality of these headphones are amazing! The sound quality breath taken.

Love it! This is great product in higher end pricing wise but worth it
