    Works flawlessly with apple tv, iphone, mac, great noise cancellation. Comfortable fit. Quality built materials. Nice upgrade from bose QC-35ii. Good for everyday use, would not reccomend at the gym. Your ears will get hot. Only thing missing is USB-C charging option. Great for watching movies

    The AirPods Max deliver incredible sound quality with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Noise cancellation is top-tier, and the build feels extremely premium and comfortable for long sessions. Worth the investment if you want the best in wireless audio.

    Great sound and NC and excellent call quality, a bit tight on my head but overall comfortable. They are probably a bit better than the competitive brands from Sony and Bose but not a huge delta. Bottom line, if you are invested in the Apple eco-system and have the money, go for it. Either of the lower cost competitors offer similar quality and you won't be disappointed with them either. They are large for travel, if you plan to be on planes, trains and out about, not the best choice, they are heavy and big.

    Overall sound quality is great and I love the sleek design. In terms of comfort the over ear design isn’t ideal for long hours of continuous use but it is more comfortable than similarly priced models.

    I have not been disappointed with any Apple products yet, and this AirPod Max has also not disappointed me. I have had several less expensive headsets in the past and they quickly break and usually have lesser sound quality. I am not an audio engineer of any degree, but listening to spatial audio sleep music at night when drifting off is definitely better with this headset than any I have had in the past. The fit is great, and unlike my AirPods, this does not as easily fall off and get lost in the bed. When playing online games like World of Warcraft they may be overkill, but still a good fit, the noise cancelation is impressive, and her mic works great.. Charging is easy. Carry case is a nice feature when not in use. I would recommend this to anyone on the Apple bandwagon who is looking for a quality headset which fits seamlessly in their Apple environment.

    Honestly, for the price, absolutely not worth it. They are heavy, gets dirty easily, has easy hardware issues that can populate, NOT good for the gym and ultimately feels hot quickly. They do have good sound quality and the noise cancelling feature is great, they look good too.

    I was looking for a decent pair of over ear headphones to wear that wouldn’t hurt my ears. They aren’t as lightweight as some, but they aren’t heavy either. They are so comfortable and the sound quality is superb. Strongly recommend.

    I have been eyeing these headphones since hey first came out. I finally bought them and I have 0 complaints. Again they are headphones and they are an Apple product so with that being said you know Apple. I love my Max and I wear them when working out and no they do not bulge when I’m deadlifting. They only move when I’m laying down stretching.

    Fits well, very sturdy, might be heavy to some. Sound quality is great, noise cancelation is amazing. Only problem I do have with it is going to phone to ipad to macbook, sometimes you have to play with the settings to get the noise cancelation to work. Which means you have to disconnect and reconnect. Its not as seamless as you might think. It'll connect and you'll hear sounds but not all the options like volume pause/play will function.

    I loved the Apple AirPods Max- the sound is great, they are extremely comfortable, and connect instantly. The only problem is they aren’t good for working out-they don’t stay on my head if I’m laying on the bench and if I’m doing cardio, sweat soaks into the ear cup part- so they aren’t optimal for that. But everyday wear- they are perfect.

    I bought this for my husband. The sound quality is great and it is truly noise cancelling. The battery life is amazing! The only down side is that it is a little bulky, I wish it would fold with in its self to make it more compact to travel around with. Other than that shipping was fast the product is great.

    Brilliant! Great sound. Very comfortable, simple connectivity to the Appleverse. Button controls instead of hard to find and use sweeps and taps. Downsides - no USB-C adapter; silly case leaves $600 headphones far too exposed; the only bi-directional cable available (to feed sound to the 'phones for airline use etc) comes from Apple for nearly $40!

    They fit well, they sound amazing. Everything youd expect from a good set of headphones and from apple. Only negatives are thay theya re a tad heavy on yoir head, and the re is no carrying case for them. Would love it if it came with one. But ill find one on Amazon.

    Wonderful comfort and design. Cancels out noise like no other! Probably the best headphone set I have ever had. Had used Bose in the past which I was also happy with, but these headphones beat them out of the water!

    ok. I bought these and Sony Mx5's same day. These are heavier and much less comfortable. But they look beautiful and sound even better along with having top tier noise canceling. Very easy to use and pair with Apple devices. I got 3rd party pads to help with comfort but they really didn't work well. So I got used to them as is. I fly...a lot. Most flights are 6 hours or more so headphones are critical. These sound...amazing. So good. They are easy to use. They work well with spatial audio for shows and music. And it is very easy to toggle into transparency mode so you can hear people talking to you. The Bose QC45 and Sony Mx4's are much more comfortable but the noise cancelling is old technology and the sound quality isn't there. But both of those sound better than the Sony Mx5's. The Mx5 is an embarrassment to Sony and I would take these over the Sony Mx5 10 out of 10 times. I just wish they were more comfortable. I find the Airpod Pro 2's noise canceling to be on par with this and the sound quality is quite good for half the price. So that is another option if you arent sold on having over the ear headphones. My only real gripe is these won't connect to two devices simultaneously like Bose or Sony do. They do switch automatically...but sometimes they switch when I dont want them to. All in all...I basically recommend if you want top tier noise canceling and sound quality with solid build quality.

    I love the sound quality the most! The noise cancellation is amazing and I am obsessed. Perfect for my daily workouts — they lock you into your own little world. On another note, they are a bit heavy, but they aren’t uncomfortable at all. Love them!
