    AirPods max are definitely going to take a chunk out of your wallet, and overall it’s worth it. I’ll give a score out of 10 for each category. Sound Quality-8 Noise Cancelation-10 Transparency mode-9 Bass-10 Build Quality-10 Appearance-7 Case-3 Overall-8.5 These headphones are overalls worth it IF you are extremely invested in the Apple Ecosystem as they will work flawlessly with any Apple Product. They excel in the mids and definitely don’t struggle at all with extreme high and low pitches. These will change the way you listen to music but you need to take some time and consider if they are right for you.

    I recently purchased the Apple AirPods Max, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I unboxed these premium headphones, I was captivated by their sleek and elegant design. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the build quality is top-notch, as expected from Apple. The sound quality delivered by the AirPods Max is simply phenomenal. The audio is crisp, clear, and rich in detail, immersing me in my favorite music, movies, and podcasts like never before. The dynamic range and depth of the soundstage are truly impressive. Whether I'm listening to classical music with delicate instrumentals or enjoying bass-heavy tracks, these headphones handle it all with finesose.

    I love this, other than always being on. Transparency mode is amazing, good quality item. Is it worth the money, perhaps not, but if you've always been an apple fan this is definitely a luxurious item to add to your party.

    Apple delivered as usual. These headphones are spectacular. I rated them in 5 categories. Bass, Clarity, Mids/Highs/Lows, Stability, and comfort. Bass is great. Especially with the built in equalizer. I recommend the “Hip-Hop” settings, as it maintains clarity to mids and has deeper base. If you want more highs or mids, I recommend keeping the EQ to normal for best sound. The comfort is also very very good. I came from using Sony headphones to these and its a night and day kind of difference. Not just the comfort but the feel of the quality materials blows XM4/5 put if the park. My only complaint would be the battery life. It typically lasts around 8-9 hours before needing a full charge on average. I also would’ve liked a more practical case for better protection when travelling. All in all, if price is a worry for you, everything checks out for it. You truly are getting what you pay for here. 9.5/10!

    I have to be honest, I was definitely hesitant about purchasing these headphones but, a couple weeks into using these bad boys, I am absolutely in love. The quality is great, the noise control is on point, the bass is amazing, and the design is so fleek and simple! Not heavy either! These headphones also have a very lengthy battery life. You can use them all day and still have a generous amount of battery. If you are bent on buying these, DO IT. Every piece of audio will be an extraordinary experience!

    Love these so much! Noise canceling is great. They make cleaning my house go by so much faster!! Love this product. Battery literally lasted over a week before I had to charge them. They connect great to apple products. You can also use them with non apple products! I use with my Samsung tablet and Roku smart tv.

    The Apple AirPods Max are a fantastic addition to any music lover's collection. Their outstanding sound quality, comfort, and ease of use make them stand out. While they are on the pricier side, the quality and performance are well worth the investment. So if you're in the market for a high-end pair of headphones, the AirPods Max is worth considering. Sleek and elegant.

    First off, i must say that i’m coming from the bose qc45’s. An already great pair of headphones that I use for the gym. They had good noise cancelling,comfort, and sound. That being said these COMPLETELY blow those out of the park. The noise cancelling difference is NIGHT AND DAY. Spatial audio works really well. The sound quality is so much more rich. They feel higher quality also. The integration with apple devices is definetly a plus as well. The bose would auto connect but the apple ecosystem is just so much more seamless. I will say tho, if you are on android, get the bose. Becuasw your getting the same offering on both ends. But apple? A good old pair of airpods will do the job just nicely. 2 small things though, they are Substantially heavier than the bose but not with dealbreaking weight. I go to the gym 6x a week and do a range of exercises including cardio and they stayed snug most of the time. Unless you tilt your head back 90 degrees they probably wont move much. And also the inability to turn them off is kind lf annoying, but my battery never dies so i guess its alright. All in all good headphones

    The most noticeable thing (besides the price tag), is the build quality. After taking off my Sony XM4s and putting these on, the build quality is excellent. They feel premium and they are comfortable (once you find the right spot on your head). The lack of an included cable was only frustrating for me because I use a Windows desktop for work and wanted to plug them in. Easy to just buy the cable. For anyone looking for true wireless, the lack of a cable is irrelevant. Sound quality is on par with Sony’s. I’m not an audiophile, but for me there’s a noticeable difference in the mids. Sounds less “muddy.” The Digital Crown is perfect, wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s easy and convenient, don’t have to hope you’re touching invisible touch buttons. I would highly recommend.

    I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he said he loves it. The sound quality is great and it is extremely comfortable. The only negative he had is that he doesn't like the case. He said that The price point is high, but he is very happy with it so it's worth it.

    I absolutely love these headphones, I went with the Sky Blue and love the color. The sound quality is fantastic and the transparency mode, spatial audio are superb!! These headphones are a little heavy so that’s one thing to consider,but that’s cause they’re made of more premium materials than most headphones, but they could cause head fatigue for some if used for hours straight. My one and only complaint is that if you wear hats a lot, which I do, these can be kind of tight on the head, as I wish they had a little more stretch on the cups themselves and the telescopic supports went down a little farther to fit over the head, but that is my only complaint whatsoever, these headphones sound superb and if you are invested in the Apple ecosystem like I am they are definitely worth getting, especially if you can grab them on a sale like I did.

    Loving these headphones! I’ve seen mixed reviews but i’ve had no issues. They stay on when i’m in the gym, block out noise extremely well on an airplane, and honestly are just super sleek looking. I’ve had beats solo wireless and in my opinion these take the cake.

    These headphones are what you would expect over the ear AirPods Pro to be. I will say that the only thing that stands out the most to be is that they only support aux through Apple's own proprietary cable. Another annoyance is that you can't actually turn them off, and if you want them to enter low power mode you have to lug around the ugly bra thing. Both of these cons still don't outweigh the pros as I've been using them with a Windows 11 PC for music and Zoom Meetings and it's been phenomenal. The transparency mode means I no longer have to remove my headphones when my family needs to talk to me during class, and the noise cancellation means I don't have to be distracted by the living room TV or conversations either. They are an online students'/WFH employees' best friend.
