Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing top of the line headphones. I purchased these during the sales on Thanksgiving and I haven’t doubted my decision for a single second. These headphones look incredibly cool (I got the blue ones), aren’t too heavy, and the sound quality is great as well. Yes, they are a little bit pricey but being a hardcore Apple fan, I just had to get them and I am wearing them to college every single day with no sweat problem or anything like that. If you’re looking for a really nice pair of headphones with great sound quality, I strongly recommend these.

Zero complaints, very comfortable and great sound.

Excellent sound, design and more built in features. I wear them and sleep well with them on. They are also excellent with the noise cancellations.

This review likely won't say anything that hasn't already been written, but maybe it'll help someone. I was looking for over-the-ear noise-canceling wireless headphones for travel and occasional use while doing chores around the house. I was considering Bose and Sony, since both got great reviews and I've been really happy with the Bose Quiet Comfort wired earbuds. I love my Airpods Pro, except they don't like to stay in my ears and I can't imaging wearing them for hours on end. The Airpods Max went on sale a few weeks ago, which helped me get over the sticker shock. I use them with my iPhone 12 Max Pro and iPad Pro exclusively. The sound is deep and crystal clear. I couldn't imagine better sound. The fit is super comfortable. I could likely wear them throughout an international flight with ease. Storage is awkward with their little flappy case, but I'll either buy a third party case or keep them in a protective camera backpack I use for travel. Just wait til they're on sale.

These are awesome headphones and like all Apple products, they integrate so very well with the rest of my Apple universe (iPhone, iPads, MacBook Air, etc.). The sound is superior in my opinion and the Spatialize Stereo function actually increases the music audio performance nicely. The simple switch button between ANC and Transparency Mode works great and I very much like Transparency Mode. When you have your headphones on and your wife want to chat, just click the button and she comes in loud and clear. I swear that I can actually hear better with my headphones on and Transparency Mode on than I can hear with my headphones off! The volume dial works great, but I did switch the default high/low setting direction because it seemed wrong to me. It’s simple to reverse the direction in settings if you feel the same. My only complaint is that the headphones are not adjustable like virtually every other set of headphones I have owned before. I have a larger head, so the fit on my head is slightly tighter than I’d prefer. It’s acceptable, but not as comfortable as the fit with my Bose QC 35’s that are fully adjustable. If you have a larger head, definitely try these on at the store before you buy just so you are ok with the comfort of the fit on your head. I would have thought Apple could have added some adjustability into these things to make a better fit more available to those of us in the “larger head community”. Hah! But other than that, I think you’ll like these AirPods Max. My rating: 4 1/2 stars (minus 1/2 star due to lack of adjustability).

Amazing build quality and, despite their weight, pretty comfortable to wear. I enjoy using the dial for controlling playback and volume. It’s tactile and precise. Sound is astonishingly good for a first effort at proper wireless ANC headphones. Good bass, clear through the mids, and some top end sparkle. Definitely in the top end selection of Bluetooth ANC headphones. There are other options that have slightly more depth to their sound and clarity but they are far and few between, as well as costing at least as much. And, of course, airpods gain nice extra features with Apple devices - equalisation, automatic device pairing. So, why not 5 stars? Well, although very comfortable, they are heavy and do slip back on my head if I’m not sitting upright. Sometimes the automatic switching between audio on my iPad and on my iPhone is janky and doesn’t work without me intervening manually. They only have AAC and SBC audio codecs, so the best audio quality is only available on iOS devices. The bra case is a complete joke. Lightning wired input and charging only. And that price is still painful on the wallet. Spatial audio hasn’t proven to be a stunning improvement over any other headphones for me so far. There is limited content that supports it, and that is mainly on Apple TV+. The locking sound to your device screen is very effective but I haven’t noticed any amazing surround sound effects whilst watching movies. For reference, I tried Greyhound on Apple TV+, with Dolby Atmos and spatial audio on. It’s a movie full of explosions and audio effects - yes, there was some positioning of sources but not really convincing surround in my opinion. Overall, though, they’re pretty great if you are using Apple devices and I’d recommend them as one of the top choices for wireless ANC headphones.

I purchased this for my daughter as a birthday gift. She loved them!! The color and sound quality was great. Thanks

Sound is excellent. Noise cancellation is excellent. Comfort around the ear is excellent. Battery life is terrible. Connectivity is awesome but

Very comfortable but not as loud as I thought. The design is awesome. They are very comfortable. For the price I thought they’d be louder.

These headphones are AWESOME! The sound quality is amazing and they are very comfortable to wear. I have worn them for almost 4 hours straight and they did not bother me at all. They connect easily and stay connected very well. Finally, a headphone that sounds great and has a lot of great features.

Amazing sound quality and a little expensive, but they are worth the price. They are amazing comfortable and the build quality is the best and that is what your paying for. They connect easily with my iPad Pro and sound great when watching movies or videos with spatial audio is awesome.

These headphones are a game changer. They are comfortable, produce amazing sound, and have the best noise cancellation I've ever experienced. The battery life is nothing to sneer at either. I've had them for over a month now, and I use them almost every day.

Great noise cancelation, but when someone calls me they cant hear me. I have to constantly remove the Bluetooth. Music sounds awesome.. i would hightly recommend them for people who go out to gyms. Dont trust your self alone . The nosie cancellation part. You wont hear someone coming from behind. Beware women.

I love the seamless connection between Apple products. The bass and treble levels are perfect and I can hear all instruments almost individually when playing a song. The fit is also very comfortable.

Apple has done it again. These things have the best sound and noise cancellation, it stncs seamlessly, its so well designed. Why doesn’t everyone have a pair of these? Seriously, go get some.

Excellent quality and durability. Very comfortable and versatile as well. Highly recommend!

The sound quality and noise canceling are unbeatable. I absolutely love these! My only small complaint is the material that sit on the head is polyester like and a little itchy. I do not work out in these headphones. They do weigh a lot which makes the price and quality a good deal.

I had the Sony XM5 headphones prior and let me tell y’all… these are a hundred times better! They’re perfect. Sound is as clear as day, noise cancellation blocks out everything, and the quality overall is amazing. It’s worth the money in my opinion.

AirPods Max deliver amazing sound and noise cancellation. Super comfortable, easy to use with Apple devices, and totally worth it if you want top-quality headphones.

They're an Apple product, so they're good sounding headphones regardless of my personal preferences. Over ear headphones tend to give me headaches but these do not. The ear covers are removable and easy to clean. Relative to my Airpod Pro's, these are not that impressive. I like them for low movement activities like reading or watching TV, but other than than that I rarely reach for them over my normal airpod pro's. I also wish I could customize the sound settings in these, which is a feature I feel like is pretty standard in over ear headphones like this. I wouldn't necessary recommend these, they're not really worth the money. Comfort is good, physically easy to care for. Sound is just ok. They're just... fine.
