Customer Ratings & Reviews

Are they worth 550? If you have an iPhone yes. Android or anything else, maybe not. The iPhone will give you audio editing/tuning options that you will not find elsewhere. On the iPhone make sure you are updated to the latest iOS that help the phone truly recognize the headphones, and then update the firmware of the headset itself. I consider myself an audiophile, and when I try new headphones, the sound test I put them through is fairly simple, and I play 5 key songs of different genres that I would say have “hidden sounds” or instruments that cheaper headphones would not catch. These pass the test, and surpass the Bose and Sony headsets in separating instruments, the “soundstage” effect. If you are a person who can’t tell the difference in good headphones versus others, don’t waste your time, because you won’t be able to justify the reasoning for the pricing. The comfort is amazing, and I can wear these for 4 hours plus with no discomfort. They look great, and noise cancellation is amazing on these headphones.

I had the B&W's first, their noise cancellation wasn't up to part for me, especially on NJ Transit, they kept cutting out. Also a little too bass heavy. Not being a stranger to spending money on audio equipment, I returned them and got the APMs. Initially I was a little underwhelmed by the audio quality, but I feel after a few weeks they're not perfectly "burned in". The sound quality doesn't quite reach a $200 set of wired Beyerdynamics (like a DT 770 or 990) or Sennheisers. But you can't listen to those on the road. And the APMs sound pretty friggin' good. The noise cancellation is fantastic, just unparalleled, quiet bliss. Except for car horns, which is an asset to hear when you're walking through NYC. The case is stupid, and I wish you could turn them off without the case (no power button?!) and they made my ears itch for a few weeks (seems fine now, whatever it was offgassed). Connects seamlessly with iOS devices, on the Macbook I keep having to hit the "Connect" popup when I put them on even thought it's set to auto connect (only a slight nuisance). Go figure, but I took a star off, especially for the case. Argh, I gave Apple money again :-)

The only complaint I have about these is the high price and that they sometimes slip off when doing cardio but not everyone uses these for the gym. If you use these for the gym, buy silicon covers for the ear parts to keep your headphones nice and clean. Perfect for weight lifting with minimal cardio like walking/running. Other than that these are beautiful headphones. The sound quality is amazing and the noise cancellation is phenomenal. You really can’t hear a thing. Also love the noise transparency so you can still hear what’s going on around you if you wanted to. Pairs beautifully with apple iPhones but of course will work the same with other phones I’m sure. It’s cool that the ear pieces are removable for cleaning. Definitely a good pair if you’re looking to spend more than $300 on a pair of headphones.

Works really well! Sound is amazing, will need to get some type of silicone cover to use for working out / running.

At first, I was skeptical about buying these, because of how pricey they were. I am glad I did not listen to the voice I said not to do it. These headphones are a great addition to all my electronics I own the sound is top-tier.

I really like the blue color. I don’t enjoy having anything in my ears so these are perfect. I wear them to clean my house and walking. They are super comfortable.

I got these for my 13 year old. My kid loves the silver/white color. Great sound. My kid is always wearing them and he can still hear me while wearing them. Easy to clean.

The sound great and the noise cancellation is awesome.

Ought these pricey headphones for my daughter… was not sure why they cost so much, but wanted to please my teenager for the holiday. She extremely happy with them, especially their noise cancelation capabilities.

Had for a few years now, still in great condition.

I honestly love apple products, but this airpods are great. They are my favorite, specially to use at the gym.

My daughter loves these. She said when you keep them on to long they tend to hurt a little bit. But the sound you can’t beat..

Lovely item! Quality sound and quality item. A nice item

Sound is pretty great! I love the noise cancelling ability. Quiets everything externally down to where you can almost not hear the external noise. The sound of the audio is great too but I’m no expert on sound regarding lows, mods, and highs. I like the phone ability too but if I have an extended call, tends to drop the call. I will update my review if this is something else than a dropped call. Shorter calls didn’t seem to be a problem. I do wear these while sleeping if outside noise is distracting. This is where the noise cancellation is at its best. Not sure if this phenomenon can be avoided but the earphones cushions tend to feel warm. This is from natural body heat and no ram air while sleeping. So perhaps this will be better during colder or winter times. This is my own thing though. The only thing I am knocking it down a star is for the dropped calls. I use these about everyday. I will use these while I travel because I feel pretty confident that the noise cancellation will do it’s job. Note that I do where these for primarily the cancellation. I have a out of round tire on my car and when I am using these while driving, I don’t hear that awful whirling sound. I’m not sure if I should recommend wearing these while driving.

Another great apple product. I pulled the trigger on these with the Black Friday sale. I am glad I did. They are amazing just like the AirPods Pro gen 2. I wish these had usb C charging other than that they are great. Again apple worked the magic with the Spatial Audio. I am very impressed with their sound for movies very cinema like experience with headphones. I have audiophile sennheiser and hifiman headsets for music these are good but not on that level. But some of the best headphones for movie lovers! Apples Spatial Audio is some of the best I have heard.

Very sleek. Functions great with iPhone. Good audio quality. A bit heavy on the ears for long stretches.

These were a Christmas gift. I would definitely repurchase again.

The best option to use in the gym. I like the color.

Potion these from my brother for Christmas. He was more than grateful to receive them. They look really nice on.

I finally received my APMs and I did some research and looked at many reviews. So I have to comment on the experts observations and they were right about some things but absolutely off the mark on others and I would challenge them anytime. 1. They are slightly heavier than most headsets 2. The sound quality is like no other 3. Comfort is absolutely outstanding. I wore them for 5hours straight and no issues 4. Price is a tad bit to high, but I’m starting to see why The comment I disagree with the most would be the fact that there is no 35MM option to plug your headsets. 1st. You have Bluetooth 2nd. You have the option to plug in the Type C to a computer and to the head set. If you find your self traveling and don’t have a high speed smart phone, but you can afford to buy these headsets you are completely wrong. If you have these headsets and a smart phone while traveling on an aircraft you should be watching movies on your smartphone and no need for a 35MM cable. I have to say that these cans are very nice.
