    These headphones are simply amazing. Unfortunately the weight of the headphones need to be compensated for by the tight grip they have on my head. It causes me some discomfort on the left side of my face but with that said, i will not be returning these headphones. All of the other features are simply too good for me to give them up. The noise cancelling is crazy and so is the transparency mode. Personalized spatial audio is like listening to music in a cinema. The sound quality is crystal clear and really excels in the highs, they also have plenty of bass if thats a concern for you. Not to mention the build quality is premium. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem these just feel that much better. Yeah they’re overpriced for sure, but if you got the money, you probably wont regret the purchase.

    I love these headphones. I use them every single day for the gym and only have to charge them about once every couple weeks. Noise cancellation is probably the best in the market. They are pricey but I get good use out of them every day.

    Great Sound, Slightly Sweaty Ears

    The Apple AirPods Max are a game-changer. Their noise cancellation is phenomenal, perfect for any environment. Plus, they're incredibly comfortable for long flights and workouts. The sound quality is amazing, with rich bass and clear highs. However, after a couple of hours of wear, the inside earpads can get sweaty, which can be uncomfortable. Another downside is the storage mechanism, which may not be as convenient for some users -- could end up damaging headphones. Despite these minor drawbacks, these headphones are versatile and stylish, making them worth every penny. Highly recommended!

    Best headphones ever! I was questioning for months on these and I’m glad I did get them! Besides the great sound quality, comfortability of them, and the neat features it has, they look so sleek! I added these cute pink covers on them to keep them clean and for easier cleaning!

    The quality on these headphones are outstanding for a wireless set and it competes with some of my high grade, studio sets. The amount of space on the sides also makes it perfect for different designs (as shown in the photos). Would definitely recommend for anyone that is willing to drop the cash.

    Great headphones! Sound quality is top notch! Though, like most viewers says; it does hurt my head, not so much my ears. Long-term listening is a no go. The sound suction cups doesn’t suction to my ears like my Sony Wh-1000M4. It’s fairly decent for noise cancellation. Overall, I love the feel of it; sound is good and battery life is great. It connects immediately once putting on your head. I did buy silicon covers for the headphones but they can easily be scratched! If you don’t own any type of wireless headphones I recommend this or even the Sony or Bose 700s.

    After a decade into Spotify, AirPods Max made a convert of me to Spatial Audio and Apple Music. It helps to create the best sound quality and the depth of audio, both combined to immerse me. These set high standards in the quality of the build and comfort, which only create satisfaction conditions for hours of listening. Apple’s impressive integration between their devices makes the experience reach an incredibly user-friendly level. I’m simply amazed at the active noise cancellation—it feels like my very own world. The AirPods Max aren’t just headphones; they’re an experience that’s changed how I listen to music.

    i am in love with my airpod maxes. i’m coming from beats solo3 and i find these way more comfortable on the top of my head and on my ears. the netting on the top makes it so that the headphones don’t hang heavily on your head. the comfort is perfect for long drives or flights. my two cons to these are that they don’t fit comfortably with eyeglasses. they kind of make the legs of my glasses squeeze into the sides of my temple and hurt a bit. i end up taking my eyeglasses off most times. secondly, the noise cancellation works excellent for a space like a plane, a slightly bustling noisy room, but when directly next to loud people, you need to really put your volume up to fully drown them out which isn’t always ideal, because i can get headaches from music being too loud. aside from those two points, these headphones are a dream. i was able to get a free trial of apple music (along with other things) with my purchase and the dolby atmos in apple music with these headphones is incredible. the quality of sound is absolutely unmatched.

    I bought these for my husband for his birthday & he LOVED them ! He uses them every day ! They are very loud & have wonderful noise cancellation ! I used his to go to the gym & fell in love so I bought myself a pair ! I don’t go to the gym without them !!! They aren’t heavy on the head & they seem to stay on pretty well ! The only thing I will say is that when you’re lying on a bench they slide a bit but that’s expected with any over the ear headphones ! The battery life is pretty good ! I can charge them once over night & use them 4-5 days a week for about 2 hours a day with no issues with the battery dying !! I will say though , even if they do die , you can charge them for about 15-20min & you’re set for about 2 hrs ! I can truly say it was worth every penny !!

    great sound quality! the noise cancelling is great. It fits a bit snug but gets more comfortable as you wear them. Accessories are easy to find and acceptably priced. I suggest getting silicon covers on amazon, they definitely add a barrier to the outside noise and make the noise cancelling even more effective.They connect immediately to my devices and have great features that are accessible on the headphones themselves instead of having to access your device.

    I had a pair of these before and sold them against my will. So glad i was wble to get my hands on a pair of these again. They are singlehandedly the best pair of headphones i have ever owned or will ever own. I highly recommend picking up a pair of these. They come with outstanding noise cancellation and a magnificient battery life. On average about 35 to 40 hours of batter and about 16 to 17 hours of playtime. When any kind of media is playing with sound cancellation on you cant hear anything outside of these. Great for plane rides or loud areas.

    Quite simply put, these are the best headphones I've ever owned, and I've had full ear cover headphones forever. They're sleek, comfortable, and the sound can't be beat. (No pun intended.) It's great for taking phone calls. The noise cancelling feature is one of the best features. I let me son borrow them on a class trip and got a notification on my phone that my headphones were on the move! Even showed me where they were. It's not only great for music, but movies, podcasts, and white noise for sleep. They're great in the gym or while running because you can really just tune out the outside world and focus on what you're doing. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    Ronnie/Robbie helped me out, sorry I can’t remember which one it was. He was super helpful/patient since I had a payment issue. It all worked out and I went home very happy! I’ve had them now for about a month, and I love them. The transparency mode/noise cancelling is great. The battery life is really good. They fit very nicely. I LOVE them!!

    Delightful Review of AirPodsMax

    As a dedicated audiophile, I have always sought perfection in sound quality and comfort when it comes to headphones. The AirPods Max, Apple's foray into the premium over-ear headphone market, has certainly caught my attention. After spending several weeks testing and evaluating these headphones, I am ready to share my thoughts. The AirPods Max unquestionably deliver an impressive audio experience. The custom-built drivers, coupled with Apple's H1 chips, result in rich, clear, and well-defined sound. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mids and highs are balanced and intricate. Audiophiles will appreciate the accuracy and detail in the sound profile, making for an immersive listening journey across various genres. Apple's Active Noise Cancellation technology is top-notch. It effectively eliminates external distractions, providing a serene listening environment. Whether you're in a bustling city or on a noisy commute, the AirPods Max create a cocoon of tranquility that allows you to focus solely on your music. The AirPods Max sport an elegant and distinctive design, with a stainless steel frame and breathable mesh headband. However, the design also introduces some weight, making the headphones noticeably heavier than competitors. While the design is undeniably premium, extended use might lead to discomfort for some users. The Digital Crown, borrowed from the Apple Watch, adds a touch of familiarity and provides intuitive controls.

    The sound and build quality is top notch! It blows beats by Dre out of the water. I think apple is trying to go after the audiophiles with their first attempt at luxury headphones. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is because it’s about $150.00 overpriced. The headphones are advertised as $550.00 dollars, but with tax I paid $601.00. Their are better headphones at this price point. Everyone compares Sonys XM0004, but it’s not a fair comparison. You can find the Sonys for $350.00 or less. Apple’s true competitors are the $500 dollars or more price point. No headphone maker can compete with AirPod Max’s craftsmanship. However, I’ve heard better sound from headphones at the $1000 price point. Also, the carrying purse for the cans is a horrible idea. Also, these headphones cannot be used for working out at the gym or going for a run. The sweat will damage the ear cups and flop around on your head. It’s strictly for comfort listening!

    The AirPods Max are undeniably impressive with their exceptional sound quality and top-notch noise cancellation, making them a go-to choice for audio aficionados. However, the steep price tag of $450+ may give some potential buyers pause. It's crucial to consider your priorities and budget when evaluating these headphones. One common misconception is that they are suitable for the gym. This couldn't be further from the truth. These headphones lack sweat resistance and water resistance, making them a poor choice for strenuous physical activities. Instead, they excel in quiet, controlled environments like walking, working, studying, or leisure, where their premium audio and noise-canceling capabilities truly shine. Bringing a $400+ pair of headphones to the gym is not advisable and could lead to costly damage.

    I love these headphones!! I use them all the time. The noise cancellation in pretty good, you can still hear things that are super loud, but if it's not really loud then it's canceled out. They're super comfy, and fit perfectly on my head. They last a while without being charged too!
