These headphones were and are my favorite purchase of last year and I am really happy that I own these pairs of headphones. First of all, there are aesthetically pleasing and thank God I bought the dark collar so it matches with my wardrobe. Also, you can’t really see if it gets dirty. I wear these headphones every day at home if I want to zoom out or at public transportation helps me be in my peace and especially I love the worthies during my workouts and winter time because this is a must have!

I had been eyeing these headphones for a while. When I travel I’m not a fan of the smaller earbuds as they never stay in my ears. Not only are these headphones super comfortable, they are top notch quality. The noise canceling is scary good, it works so well! Highly recommend these 10/10!

-Aesthetically: look great on , match everything, chic for travel.
-Functionality: the noise cancellation is top tier, they also include some sort of technology that follows your ears which assists with the perfect sound.
-Battery life: is amazing and long lasting - got me through an entire day of international travel and the following day or two. They do take a while to fully charge.
-Cons: they do slide when you lean your head back/move. I have to wear an updo when working out to avoid this issue, and also added silicone covers to combat it.
-Overall: I think they’re overpriced, like most apple products. But they are sleeker and more appealing (to me) than other competing options. Curious to see how they hold up over time.

love them, you can really hear the bass and they are pretty comfortable. they were kind of heavy at first but it didn't take more than 3 days for me to get used to the weight. and they also don't hurt my ears so that's a pro

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.

Sound quality is amazing and the feel, fit and overall design is really good. I would say its worth the price the only con is definitely not ideal for the gym.

It’s been about three months since purchasing these amazing headphones.
PROS.
I have been loving the battery life and of course the sound quality especially with Apple Music. They also connect to my Samsung smart tv and my Asus gaming laptop with the same quality sound.
CONS.
The ear cushions start to smell like sweat if you workout or go running they should have made them sweat resistant for the price they lacked on that but still very comfortable on your ears

Having used the Apple AirPods Max, I'm genuinely impressed by the audio quality. They deliver a rich, immersive experience. The combination of sleek aluminum and plush ear cushions not only looks premium but ensures comfort during extended use. Seamless integration with my Apple devices adds convenience, and the noise cancellation is outstanding. Despite the hefty price tag, the top-notch build, exceptional sound, and intelligent features make the AirPods Max a worthy investment for anyone who values a premium audio experience. I highly recommend it!!!

Great sound quality overall.
Worth the money, use them daily for music, phone calls, etc. They are a bit heavy but if you are fine with that then you will love them. Amazing color and quality, physically and quality wise.

Awesome quality and Hard build. Really happy I bought it.
Pros - Better noise cancellation, better sound quality, if you want a better sleep in the airplane just put these up and turn on noise cancellation easy.
Cons - Feels a bit heavy, it starts paining after some time above the ears, no heavy and clear bass, sometimes ears feel hot.

Great headphone for Apple users. I used both Airpods Max (APM) and Sony XM5 for a couple of weeks, and decided to keep the APM. While XM5 is equally good, I found the sound out of APM more neutral and exciting. While APM is heavier, I found it more comfortable than XM5 due to padded cushions, and, I'm pretty sure it will last me few years due to its build quality.

They are good headphone, I wish they could go a bit louder. I find them to be really comfy. The noise cancellation is really good, almost too good lol it’s a bit disorienting. Special audio is also super cool.

I was a professional DJ for many years and used many over the ear headphones and these are the most comfortable, these will not blow your ears out but on full volume and the noise canceling on you can hear every note that was meant to be heard and it is still loud. These ARE an investment in pure sound. I purchased a case for mine and sweat protection for the cups, worth the money.

I'll just address common complaints. You know the rest. They sound god tier. They connect effortlessly. They have a excellent build.
Q - They're what, 600$? They're headphones. Too expensive.
A - They're not for you then, you should check out the Sony XM4 over hear headphones. They sound very good and are built pretty nice. These are for people who want something better than XM4s or NC700s. If those headphones are for you, save 200-300$ and get them.
Q - They don't sound as good as other audiophile headphones.
A - Correct! But good luck using those open back (no noise suppression) headphones in a loud environment, good luck taking them outside of your house (they need an amplifier, not wireless obviously) and again you need an amplifier which can range from 200$ to 2000$.
Q - This reviewer said they don't fit that good.
A. That honestly might be the case. It's subjective, however. I suggest you find someone who has a pair of these, if you can't, best buy has a return policy for situations like this. I will tell you that 1. they are heavy, but feel very light on my head. I used to have QC35 iis, and XM4s. I can wear these much much longer because of them being more comfortable. 2. They "fit" my head perfectly fine.
Q - THE CASE
A - I get you, I agree with you. It's pretty garbage. So make like I did and get rid of the bra case. Put it on ebay, sell it to someone, heck give it to your kids. It's garbage, you don't want to use it. I sold mine for 25$, and it sold within an hour of me posting it. (Huh? I thought everyone hated it? Apparently not!) Buy yourself an actual case, I got mine for 18$ on Scamazon. You can get Max cases pretty much anywhere.
Q - (more of a complaint about Apple) But they're not repairable
A - Well, I challenge you to tell me what wireless bluetooth headphones ARE more repairable than these. In my opinion Apple went above and beyond. They impressed iFixit of all places. The cushions are held on by magnets, of course. I'm sure you knew that. But did you know that the headband is replaceable? I don't recommend you try this if you have a pair already, but you CAN take the cushion off and stick a SIM tray tool into a little hole in the upper top of the inside of the ear cup *(please make sure you know which hole, it might hurt a lot if you have the wrong one)* and gently push in just like a SIM tray and the earcup will completely detatch from the headband. Good luck finding a replacement, but eventually down the line I'm sure there will be some on things like eBay and it's just a headband so if you get one that isn't exactly original, whatever. I will say though that I'm certainly not easy on my Apple things, but my headband still looks perfect. They look fragile, but unless you accidentally take a knife to it, it will be fine.
If you can realistically afford them and want them, I cannot recommend them enough. They are fantastic, I have zero regrets whatsoever buying mine for the full MSRP of 550$. (they're now 500$ at time of posting)
Enjoy them!

All previous over the head/ear headphones were too big for my head as well as uncomfortable because they pushed the glasses into my head and put pressure all over my head which made my mixed headaches worse.
I was in the market to replace 2 sets of AirPod Pros gen 1 as my work headphones and thought I would try these since the battery life is 20 hours.
Leave it to Apple to make amazing over the ear headphones that work perfect for petite heads as well as people who wear glasses.
I have worn them for a week’s worth of meetings. They were comfortable and the battery still had 20%.
A bonus is I got an open box pair for $380!!!

The noise canceling is really great and the cushioning gives it a really comfy feel. Although can get uncomfortable if you wear them too long and there’s a really great battery life
