Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headphones are intended for listening, and they have outstanding noise cancellation - as well as an amazing transparency mode that doesn't sound like you're listening through their mics. I wouldn't recommend them for production, because they're hyped, especially at the low end, but they sound really good. We also use them for listening to the Apple TV box, and they're fantastic for that. But they also connect to Macs, iPhones, etc. right away as soon as you put them on. People complain about the weight, but I wear them for hours and find them very comfortable. They're also great for long plane rides. The only downside is that they're very expensive. But I don't regret my purchase. I bought them for my wife, my daughter, and myself.

The Apple AirPods Max has effortlessly surpassed all my audio expectations, solidifying its position as the pinnacle of wireless headphones. From the moment I put them on, I was immersed in a world of sound unlike anything I've experienced before. Firstly, the build quality of the AirPods Max is unparalleled. The combination of premium materials and a sleek design exudes elegance and comfort. The headband is perfectly balanced, and the ear cups are luxuriously cushioned, providing a snug fit that ensures extended listening sessions remain fatigue-free. But what truly sets these headphones apart is the audio performance. Apple's custom 40mm dynamic drivers deliver a rich, well-balanced sound that caters to all genres of music. The bass response is punchy but never overpowering, while the midrange and treble frequencies are beautifully detailed, rendering every instrument and vocal with utmost precision. The active noise cancellation is remarkably effective, effortlessly silencing the surrounding world and allowing me to indulge in my favorite tunes without any distractions. Moreover, the Transparency mode is a game-changer - it seamlessly blends the real world with your music, making conversations and ambient sounds sound natural and clear. The spatial audio feature brings a new dimension to my movie-watching experience. The precise spatial awareness gives the illusion that sound is coming from all around me, creating an immersive cinematic feel that rivals high-end home theater systems. The integration with Apple devices is seamless, thanks to the H1 chip. Switching between devices is as simple as a tap, and the battery life is astonishingly long, ensuring I never have to worry about charging them frequently. One of the most impressive aspects is the Adaptive EQ. The AirPods Max automatically adjust the sound profile based on the fit and seal of the headphones, optimizing the listening experience to suit individual preferences. Although the price might be on the higher side, I can confidently say that the Apple AirPods Max are worth every penny for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. They deliver an audio journey that surpasses expectations, offering a level of quality and innovation that sets them apart from competitors. In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max is a true sonic marvel, combining premium craftsmanship, unmatched audio performance, and seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem. If you're looking for a top-tier wireless headphone experience, these are an investment you won't regret.

I am pleased to share my thoughts on the best earpods I've ever purchased. The sound quality is truly exceptional, offering a rich and immersive listening experience. Furthermore, the comfortable design allows for extended wear without any discomfort. Moreover, the seamless connectivity and long battery life have greatly improved my daily routines. Overall, these earpods have exceeded my expectations and are an excellent choice for anyone seeking quality audio.

Both of the two pairs that I purchased were still connected to the returner’s Apple account.

Ordered 2/17/24 - still waiting for product to arrive. Can see they have not reshipped after list in transit. 4 weeks you would think they would be proactive. Still waiting for them to process …apparently takes a week.

The headphones are great. They’re comfortable and the battery life last a really long time. They aren’t heavy, but they do slip off easily. The noise canceling is pretty good, can mostly tone out a leaf blower thats 20 ft away, and will definitely tone out ceiling fans or window ac sounds. The price is the only turnoff really. These headphones are beautiful, it just all depends how willing u are to drop this much money on a pair of headphones.

First over ear headphones and I love them! Wore them on a 12 hour flight and the noise cancellation was incredible and it’s so easy to switch between transparency and noise cancellation modes. I was concerned with the weight on my head for that long and I didn’t notice it. Bought a silicone cover for the headband to protect it and because they slide a little bit (I have a pretty small head) and that seemed to help. I also got a hard sided case and ear covers to protect them. Battery life is great as well, and they feel very high quality. But they should for the price!!

I obtained these with a gift card from my work basically for free. I'm a bit of a headphone snob and have had my eye on these for a while but not at full price. I have the Sony XM3s and the VModa M-100s as my normal pairs of over ear cans. Since I got them for free, I'm very pleased of course. At full price, I don't know that I would suggest anyone get them unless you're independently wealthy and have money to toss around. Having said that, they work well and have an amazing transparency mode that really shines in places like office environments where you need to be aware of your surroundings regularly. The ANC is also excellent and really helps isolate you from modern office noises, plane sounds, or even outdoor sounds (up to a certain point of course) - they are a bit heavy on the head, the adjustable bars are smooth but prone to movement (they won't lock into place like some) and the outside of the earcups look like they'd be probe to scratching fairly easily. Some other pros are the earcup cushions are magnetic and can be replaced and the sound quality is fairly good. Not as bassy as the Songs but have a wide soundstage and keep everything more neutral (at least on my ears) Battery life is very good, provided you keep them tucked away when not actually using them. If you've got an iPhone and huge cash reserves these are a good not great choice. For me, for free, the combination of ANC, transparency mode, and the sound quality make these a terrific purchase. The only real downside is the case that's a joke and you might be wishing for a power button at some point but it shouldn't dissuade you from making the plunge if you're deciding on these and these alone.

yes. the price of the headphones is pretty steep, however the headphones are pretty solid. the packaging comes with a case and a charger. I will say the sound quality is amazing, they are lightweight( easy to wear everyday and while exercising), noise cancellation and transparency is pretty good, the battery lasts a while, they look and they look aesthetically pleasing. I personally bought them in blue, and I love the color. Do i think they are worth it? yes, but maybe for a little less money BUT they are a great pair of headphones.

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.

With no disrespect, they suck. Decided to finally use and can not charge them.

Honestly better than I thought. I’ve had Beats Studio headphones, I’ve had bose quiet headphones, and I just recently got these. Each have their own perks, and these connect seamlessly to my devices and sound amazing. I cook and clean with these a lot and forget they’re on my head lol. I do not wear these to the gym or go running with them because of how they’re made. I don’t want to ruin the fabric on top or around the ears. I use Beats Studio for all strength training and running. I also love the look of these. Some hate the look but I genuinely think they’re gorgeous! I’m not an audiophile, but they sound great. Again, each pair has their own perks, beats sound fuller (with bass), Bose sound crisper (I can hear ever detail in Bose), these still sound great and are more comfortable imo. If you have the funds, I’d say these are a great choice. If you want the best headphone for sound, maybe do some research or go into the store to hear for yourself.

Sound quality is amazing, the color is beautiful. Noise cancellation works really well - used on a noisy airplane. Apple is always good quality products. Only bad things about these are their weight and the fact that they don't fold, both not great for travelling. The cost is nuts, but they are great quality so if it is affordable I recommend.

Very good design, comfortable, excellent noise isolation and cancellation. Mic works better than my Bose QC 35ii and Surface 2. Spatial audio is awesome, and I love the auto-connect to my Apple devices. I do not feel the weight of the cans on my head or ears; in fact, because of the weight distribution, they feel better than my Bose and Surface 2 headsets. For audio quality, they are more even across ranges than the Bose. The Bose are much heavier on bass, with Apple being more balanced. If you LOVE bass, then Apple may disappoint a little. Otherwise, the Apple headsets are very comparable in sound quality and clarity. The Surface headphones, while pretty good, don't really compare and, for me, are better used for general computer audio. The smart case has been widely panned, but I'm okay with it (except that the silver headset comes with a white case, which means it's gonna get dirty!). I can see throwing it into a suitcase, wince it doesn't add the bulk of the typical case. Overall, a nice set of headphones. Sound is on-par with my Bose QC 35ii, but more balanced.

These are great, and if you can get them on sale that makes them a better value - I didn't buy them until they began to be discounted, but having had them I would probably pay retail for them in the future if I had to replace them. When using them with an apple device with spatial audio, the effect feels like I can't tell the sound is really coming from the headphones (I lift one off to check). They're super comfy and don't feel heavy, though they're metal and that can feel cold sometimes. Transparency mode is mostly great but sometimes startles if there's a loud pop noise (bubble wrap) it will amplify it a bit. Noise cancelling is the best I've ever used, and I imagine that's due to apple putting in adequate computational power into these to permit smarter/better cancellation. These look to be modular - it should possible to separately replace the headband or either ear unit using a SIM card tool - so it's slightly reparable by Apple as they don't sell those parts separately. I worry about how the head band will age or get dirty with time or if the fabric frays (it hasn't), and it looks like it can be replaced if needed. Replacement fabric ear pads are sold by apple if they get grungy but pricey. Battery life seems very long, and they charge quickly. The case is weird looking, but works well enough in my laptop bag. Materials and construction feel are top notch, these headphones feel and look very premium, though I'm not a huge fan of their color selection and the look of the ear units (too rectangular and too much like an apple watch). I would love for them to eventually sell these in more/better colors, and to even permit mix-match of different colors for the ear units and headband or even sell them separately. I also worry that apple will discontinue or alter these so that in the future it won't be possible to replace or repair parts. I have an old headphone set from another company, and I've replaced the cord and pads on that a few times over the years. I think with these it would be nice if battery, pads, and headband could be replaced for years into the future, but I doubt that that will be the case. I'm still OK with it given how much I like these headphones.

**Apple AirPods Max (Space Grey) Review: Premium Sound** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Apple AirPods Max in Space Grey are a total game-changer! The design is sleek and comfortable, with a luxurious feel. Sound quality is top-tier—crystal-clear highs, deep bass, and amazing noise cancellation that fully immerses you in your music. Comfortable for long use, and the battery lasts around 20 hours with ANC on. They’re pricey, but the audio experience and build quality are worth it. Highly recommend for audiophiles!

I debating buying these for about a year before actually purchasing them and let me tell you… I am beyond happy with them. As far as battery life and connectivity they are absolutely flawless. The audio quality is just absolutely out of this world! Exactly what i had expected if not better! The unboxing bit of it of course feels like any other apple product and it felt rather luxurious unwrapping such gorgeous headphones. Now for my FAVORITE part, the options for noise cancellation and transparency modes are insane! Theres an option that almost makes my hearing better, it amplifies the audio outside of the headphones and can be really helpful when youd like to listen to music but still have to interact with others. I also really enjoy this feature for the feeling of safety in public with them! One of the things that originally deterred me from buying them was a review i saw where they commented on the weight. The weight is not too heavy, but you can tell theyre durable. I think these are perfect for anyone between the range of everyday commuter to people that need accommodations while in public. I could not recommend these enough. If i could spend the rest of my life with one piece of tech, itd be these.

For Apple's first attempt at over-ear headphones, these are a pretty good set of headphones. I want them to be great headphones, especially being in the Apple ecosystem. I do like them, but they need to figure out the battery issue. Noise-canceling is awesome. Transparency mode is awesome. I do wish there was some adjustable settings in-between those two but for now it is all or nothing. These things are heavy compared to most other headphones, but they are comfortable on the ears and the headband (goofy as it looks) is comfortable as well. The phone call quality is excellent. The audio quality is pretty good as well (not an audiophile, but sounded good to my ears). The build quality is nothing short of spectacular. Unfortunately, the battery issue is real. I cannot understand not having an on/off button, but I could accept that if the headphones properly conserved power, which they do not. When I don't put them in the case, they will lose 10-12% per night (about 14 hours from the time I stop work until I start again in the morning). When I put them in the horribly designed, handbag case it is even worse. I lose 20-30% per night in something that is supposed to conserve power immediately. For now, I have just taught myself that these are a device that needs to be charged every night, just like my iPhone and Apple Watch. It should not be like this. Either Apple needs to fix the power conservation mode or allow for one of the buttons to turn them on and off. Here's hoping to a software fix soon. Other than that one, major issue, these headphones are near the top-of-class in everything else. Unfortunately, for a lot of people the battery issue will be a non-starter. You will need to decide for yourself if that is the case based on your use and needs.

Purchased this product for my wife upgrading from some older style headphones.. and I must say we were VERY impressed. First the overall comfort - it is light weight and comfortable to wear for hours on end. Great battery life and overall the color just pops which makes this a very modern attractive product. Lastly the music output/quality is amazing compared to other brand on the market. The price is a bit much but well worth the purchase especially while on sale. 10/10 would recommend.

The AirPods Max deliver premium sound quality, industry-leading noise cancellation, and seamless integration with Apple’s ecosystem, making them a standout choice for audiophiles and Apple enthusiasts. With a sleek design, durable build, and comfortable fit, they provide an immersive listening experience enhanced by features like Spatial Audio and Transparency mode. While their high price and slightly heavy weight might deter some, the overall performance and Apple-centric features justify the investment for those seeking top-tier wireless headphones.
