    Great… As long as you’re in the ecosystem. Sounds great, but not much better than a $200 set of cans. Last long, but not much longer than a $100 set of wireless cans. Seamlessly connects to all Mac devices, which is and has always been the secret sauce.

    Best over ear headphones I’ve ever owned!

    I’ve been waiting for Apple to come out with their own over ear headphones ever since the first generation of AirPods came out. And I’m happy to say that I was disappointed in any way at all. They’ve done an excellent job and I can definitely say for consumer use headphones, they take the top spot. The transparency mode alone is a lot better than any of the other premium headphones I’ve had over the years then you get into the noise cancellation mode. Beautiful beautiful beautiful switch between. Most of my friends say I’m just fan boying but I genuinely think Apple really took the time to really perfect this before sending it out and I’m very greatful for that.

    Title: Exploring the Apple AirPods Max: A New Era

    In recent years, Apple Inc. has continually revolutionized the world of audio technology with its innovative products. Among these, the Apple AirPods Max stands out as a testament to the company's commitment to quality, aesthetics, and cutting-edge technology. Since its introduction in December 2020, the AirPods Max has captured the attention of audiophiles and casual listeners alike, setting a new standard in wireless over-ear headphones. The AirPods Max is Apple's first venture into the over-ear headphone market, and it has been a remarkable success. One of the most notable features is its design, which combines elegance and functionality. The headphones feature a breathable knit mesh canopy, which distributes weight to reduce on-head pressure, and stainless steel frame arms wrapped in a soft-to-the-touch material for a high-end finish. The memory foam ear cushions provide comfort while ensuring a superior seal for immersive sound. From a technological standpoint, the AirPods Max is equipped with an Apple-designed dynamic driver that produces sound with high-fidelity audio. It incorporates computational audio powered by the Apple H1 chip in each ear cup, which results in superior sound quality and spatial audio capabilities. This spatial audio experience utilizes dynamic head tracking to create theater-like sound, making listeners feel as though they are in the middle of their favorite content. Another standout feature of the AirPods Max is its active noise cancellation technology, which uses sophisticated algorithms to deliver an unparalleled listening experience. This is complemented by the Transparency mode, which allows users to hear and interact with the world around them while still enjoying their audio content. This dual functionality makes the AirPods Max versatile enough for various environments, be it a bustling city street or the tranquility of one's home. The integration with Apple's ecosystem is seamless, offering users a hassle-free experience with automatic switching between devices and easy setup with a single tap. The AirPods Max also supports Siri, enabling hands-free operation with voice commands. Battery life is another strong suit, offering up to 20 hours of listening time with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled. Despite its high-end features and impressive performance, the AirPods Max has faced some criticisms, primarily regarding its premium price point. Many consumers argue that the cost is prohibitive, especially in comparison to other high-quality headphones available in the market. Nevertheless, for those who prioritize sound quality, design, and seamless integration with Apple devices, the AirPods Max remains a compelling choice. In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max represents a significant leap forward in audio technology, reflecting Apple's commitment to innovation and quality. Its combination of design, functionality, and technological advancements makes it a formidable contender in the world of high-end headphones. As Apple continues to refine its audio offerings, the AirPods Max embodies the potential for future developments in wireless audio, setting a high bar for competitors in the industry.

    I'm usually an in ear headphone girlie but wanted something over ear for a change and I really love these! I've used them everyday since I got them. I'm not really well versed on audio quality but they look, feel, and sound great to me. They connect to my Macbook, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Windows PC really well!

    Absolutely love my AirPod Pro Maxes, the sound is great. The best feature with these headphones is the noise canceling button on the side. Highly recommend getting a pair only down side is they are more bulky if you are used to using regular air pods

    Good not great. 3.5/5 overall Comfort: Heavy (3/5.) Build quality: Soild! Best on the market. (5/5) Sound quality: HiFi for sure but max loudness is too quiet!!! (4/5) Value: Easily overpriced by $200 (1/5) iOS integration/distinguishing factors: ANC is extremely good and spatial audio is the best I’ve heard in headphones (5/5) Has a truly ugly and useless case that should be leather not silicone and actually protect the more than half a grand headphones! This is the first Apple product I can’t recommend. Mostly the price point but also the features won’t be noticeable to most over a pair of AirPod Pros for far less money.

    Best headphones from Apple

    I'm not paid by Apple nor Best Buy just to be up front. Also I'm not a fan of tech nor Apple but these Apple AirPods Max really surprised me and impressed me big time. The sound quality is amazing! For those looking to get that clear crisp bass without losing other sound quality, these are for you. I have seen lots of people complain about the weight, I actually am happy with the weight of these. They sit on your head just fine and they don't fall off of your ears/head as you bend over or are looking down or doing tasks. The weight and tightness of that makes them so that they don't fall off of your head. Definitely worth the money. I did have to wait a while because Apple and BestBuy kept running out of stock of the lightning silver ones. I definitely recommend these and there are little tweaks you can do to enhance the audio and bass quality that you can't do with other headphones. The only drawback that I can say with these, is these are NOT good for working out because of the sweat getting into layers of the headphones. But other than that these are absolutely amazing! Truly!

    The best NC headphones on the market.. for a price

    As a headphone enthusiast, I wasn't very enthused with the announcement price of $550 for Apple's flagship headphone. The case is horrendous for the asking price and pairing them with an Android provides about as much use case as any other BT headphone you can buy at Wal-Mart. It's what these babies can do when paired to an Apple device that really adds some useful quirks. Right off the bat, transparency mode is the best of any headphone on the planet. It's simply mind blowing how good it is. Noise-Cancelling is not too far behind as well, besting even the Bose NC700. However, is it worth paying the additional $150-$200? If you can catch these on sale for over $100 off and have already integrated into the Apple ecosystem, I say go for it. Sound quality is good, however, they sound better with the wired cable.

    Bought these for the spatial audio to use with my Apple TV 4K instead of using my AirPods Pro. Theyre overpriced but I’m glad Best Buy was able to price match with amazon, use my Best Buy points and gift cards so i paid less than $400 for them. Sound is good but for those who like bass in their music id suggest the skullcandy crusher ANC that cost less than the AirPods max and skullcandy comes with wired a headphone cable as a option to use them wired instead of wireless as the airpods max doesnt you will have to pay a additional $30+ for that lightning to 3.5mm male cable or if you have a male to male audio cable laying around you can use the $9 apple lightning to 3.5mm male adapter to save some money. The smart case is terrible as you need it to place the headphones to sleep as the headphones dont have a physical on/off button. The material is aluminum and i fear they will scratch one day as when removing/inserting them in/out of the case they click on the corner edges. I will continue to use them for watching movies on the Apple TV or iPad containing spatial audio when i dont want to bother those around me and for some music that doesnt have much bass in them but for the rest of my music that have bass i will use the skullcandy crusher ANC.

    Stellar noise cancellation; bass could be better

    These are my newfound favorite headphones. The noise-cancelling tech is out of this world. For reference, I wore these while washing the dishes (pots and pans, no less). And while listening to music with noise cancellation on, I couldn't even hear the water running. When it's totally quiet (as in, no music playing), even with noise cancellation on, I can hear a little bit. It does sound muffled and very far away, but if someone is within arms reach and talking, there is definitely a murmur. That's why I knocked it down one star. ALSO - the bass isn't the *best*. I'm deaf in one ear and the bass in music really makes a difference for me. I was left wishing there was more. With all of this said, I also have a pair of studio beats and while those are very good too, these are way better regarding sound clarity, noise cancellation, and even comfortability because of the large size of the ear coverings. Overall, big fan.

    Great quality and excellent fit - for smaller or bigger heads. Kind of wish there was a traveling case of sorts. We are careful with these because of their price so a case would be most helpful. But that's not a fault of the actual headphones, which are great.
