    Probably the best headphones for apple Products

    First time owning a pair of Airpods Max 2, I own air pods pro 2 and Bose QC 1 and 2 in the past. In terms of sound quality and noise cancellation these are the best I have ever owned in those two categories. The noise cancellation while speaking is a nice feature even if it is sometimes slow to respond. Two things to consider if you're looking at these headphones is while they are made of aluminum and feel sturdy that also means they are heavier than plastic headphones. They are still comfortable but you will notice it if you're active with the headphones on. Second is the battery life while not in use, you need to shut off find my feature and do some other settings adjustment or else the headphones die just sitting in storage. The carry on case simplistic design maybe a negative for some people as it doesn't fold as compact as some competitors. Overall I gave 5 stars for the excellent sound quality, features and ease of use with apple products.

    Sound: 4.5/5 ! Great noise cancellation and great noise cancellation. Would love if lossless was supported wirelessly. Design: 4/5. Wish the cuffs were waterproof but overall very comfortable. Kinda heavy. Usability: 5/5 works great with my Apple products and with my projector via Bluetooth.

    The Apple AirPods Max 2 are a premium pair of headphones that feel polished, powerful, and very easy to enjoy, especially if you already use Apple devices. The sound is rich and immersive, the noise cancellation is excellent, and the overall build quality feels luxurious. They are still on the expensive side, but the comfort, smart features, and seamless Apple integration make them a strong choice for anyone who wants a high-end listening experience.

    If you’re immersed in the Apple ecosystem, which I am, these over the ear headphones are a great choice. I traded in old headphones to get some credit towards these bc expensive!! I wouldn’t wear these to the gym. I see them being worn at the gym I go to all the time and hope the owners don’t have issues in the future. They aren’t water resistant and condensation issues are a known problem. Also, get apple care on these— they’re too pricey to not have a warranty for accidents. Noise canceling works great! It can be noisy at my apartment complex and I work from home, so I really need the NC feature so I can concentrate better. I also love how they automatically switch between my Apple products depending on which one I’m using at the moment. Apple TV, iPhone, MacBook, iPad…. Whichever I’m on, it’s on. People say their hear me very clearly when I’m on the phone, so the microphone seemingly works great. Music and TV have very deep, clear bass, and the details I hear that I didn’t hear before wearing them are amazing. Highly recommend, awesome product!

    Upgrade Worth It For Audiophiles

    Someone who has owned the first generation of this pair of AirPods Max Pro and also the main competitors Sony XM-5, Sennheiser Momentum 4, Bose 700 and the Nothing Headphones(1), this upgrade was worth the wait if you were considering upgrading from any of the previous generations of premium headphones. I actually tried the new Sony XM6, and the newest Bose QuietComfort and returned them to wait out this newest release, and these are by far the best noise canceling. My neighbor runs a daycare and I can barely hear the kids outside when I work from home some days. If you already own the AirPods Max 1, these have better battery life than mine, when I first got them. I also love how I can pair my 2 Apple headphones to my Apple TV and watch loud movies with my husband without my missing any of the cinematic sound and effects. I just wish the color was more like the orange on the iPhone 17 Pro than peach.

    These have been awesome so far. The audio quality is excellent, noise cancellation works really well, and they’re comfortable even after wearing them for a few hours. They connect instantly to my Apple devices, and I haven’t had any issues. Expensive, but I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend them.

    These honestly changed my life. I upgraded to the AirPods Max 2 after almost four years with my Sennheiser headphones, and I didn’t think I’d notice that much of a difference, but wow, I was wrong!!! The sound quality is absolutely incredible. Everything sounds so crisp, full, and immersive that I actually look forward to listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies with them. They’re also unbelievably comfortable. I can wear them for hours without feeling like I need to take them off. Yes, they’re expensive, but for me they’ve been worth every single penny. I don’t regret buying them for a second, and I’d recommend them to anyone who’s thinking about getting a pair. If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to go for it! :)

    I’ve been wanting some over the ear headphones for a while now and decided I would try these. After a while for the first week my neck believe it or not was really sore but I got used to it. Although there heavy they’re a really great listening experience they sound great and have really improved the noise cancellation. Would I get these over other cheaper options probably not but there’s other great options these are for those who really want to stick to the apple ecosystem but I don’t regret buying these headphones

    I’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a while now, and they still impress me every day. The sound is incredibly clean, the bass is deep but balanced, and the noise cancellation is next level. Transparency mode feels the most natural I’ve tried, and the seamless connection across Apple devices makes everything effortless. Add the premium aluminum build and Spatial Audio, and these headphones truly feel luxury.

    I think Apple get a great job in upgrading and improving the AirPods Max 2nd generation. I’m a sound guy mostly so I can definitely hear improvements in the tuning of these headphones. There seems to be less harshness in the highs and more of a balanced bass response. I love the adaptive noise canceling mode. I like the built. It’s very well made with a stylish look.

    The new Max 2 AirPods are a fresh addition of advance technologies that are sound superior and additional features that will allow you too enjoy those new features that aren’t available on the earlier versions of the AirPods Max but I’m sure if you’re an owner of the first generation Max’s that sound is good but not as great as the Max 2 AirPods but you can’t go wrong with anything past or present in an Apple World.

    I can't say I can really tell a difference between these and the originals. Pass-through sounds more natural but it's not something I use. It doesn't connect any quicker to windows which I found disappointing. It can take a full 30 seconds to connect to a windows computer. No multipoint Bluetooth sure was a choice. I bought the new ones for a reason though. They're still great quality in material and sound.

    There loved in such a way you cannot resist listening, holding, admiring and wonder how did they get such a fine set of headphones that are under $1000 and the finest sound and noise canceling. Listen to a pair with your favorite hi fidelity or lossless music and see what everyone is saying.

    I am a heavy Apple user so I’ve always been interested in the AirPods Max but with the AirPods Max 2 I absolutely fell in love. Surprisingly these are very comfortable. I still maintain that they’re a little lighter than the first generation even though Apple doesn’t say anything about that the sound quality is absolutely amazing. The base is punchy and strong unlike the first generation and if you’re an Apple user these seamlessly connect to all your devices and the noise canceling is amazing
