    Luxurious, but not as strong as Sony XM4

    Nice aesthetic, and simple to use. Feels luxurious. Great sound quality. Not the best noise isolating in the market, but still pretty good. Headphones are *very* heavy. Annoying they only “sleep” when they’re in the case, and the battery still drains (slower vs. not in their case). Usually needs to be recharged every 2 days if you use them frequently. Sony XM4 is a better purchase on all fronts (price, lighter weight, better noise isolation, battery life, quick charge 10 min for 5 hours playback). You’re basically buying these to say you have Apple headphones.

    Great headphones from Apple! However, wish it was a bit cheaper. Apple is trying to aim for the premium brand, but not sure if it justify the cost from Bose and Sony. They feel very premium and sound really great with good battery life. However, is it worth the extra $100-150 from Bose/Sony top of the line headphones?

    Even after more than 3 months, these headphones are the best ones I’ve ever used. Since I’m already in the Apple ecosystem (having more than 2-3 Apple devices), these have been more than worth the price. The seedless connectivity between devices to the sleek design is something to behold. These are a worthwhile investment for studying and travel.

    There is definitely a weight due to the nature of the material, but it is not difficult to use for a short period of time. In particular, for those who use multiple Apple devices, the interworking between devices can sufficiently compensate for the disadvantages of different devices.

    My favorite headphone thus far! I been had my eye on these for a few years and finally was able to get them. I love the aesthetic look. The sound quality is amazing. I love the noise cancellation feature. They are soft on the ears. They are pricey but a must have!

    The best sounding headphones I’ve ever used, I did return and exchange for the regular AirPod pros, just because those seem more practical, not so big. The AirPod pros just made more sense for what I need, but these headphones were great overall. I would’ve bought both if I could’ve!

    I bought this for my girlfriend for her birthday, I also bought one for myself and it’s amazing. Sound quality and clarity are great and it t optimizes it with noise cancellation and transparency as well as adapting to the shape of your head and ears. I have a large head and it’s safe to say these fit and they fit comfortably.

    Best Headphones I Have Ever Owned

    I have owned many different sets of earbuds and headphones over the last several years. The Airpods Max are the best I have ever owned. They sound great, I feel like I can hear things in songs that I have not ever heard before. They connect to and switch between iOS devices easily. They are worth the premium you pay for them.

    The noise cancellation is awesome and so is the sound quality. I'm guessing the battery life is very good cause I didn't get to use it enough, yet.

    Great product…pricey but great

    Let’s go ahead and begin with the elephant in the room. Yes they’re a little pricey. But remember that anytime you’re purchasing speakers or headphones YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. These headphones are great overall. But they excel in 3 areas….deep bass, noise cancellation, and seamless connectivity with your iPhone. These thing came out of the box and immediately connected to my phone. I didn’t really have to do anything. The bass that comes from these is smooth and astounding. I’ve taken several flights recently and can assure you that, you won’t even notice the plane is taking off from a noise perspective. They’re even comfortable on your head after wearing them constantly for 5 hours. Simply some of the best over earth headphones I’ve ever had. My only negative comment lies in their inability to fold into a smaller profile. Apple designed these things to fold flat instead of compact.

    Apple Beats

    Apple products are expensive. You are paying for the quality of the product, the design, the ecosystem, and the “Apple” branding. To me, there are a few main factors to look at when buying over the ear wireless headphones: Sound Quality, Noise Cancellation, Comfort, Battery Life, and lastly Price. Sound Quality 8/10 If you own a pair of AirPods Pro, then you will notice the Sound Quality to be mostly the same when listening to music. When I first tried on the AirPods Pro, I noticed a significant difference in audio quality compared to the Original AirPods. I expected that same difference when putting on the AirPods Max but that wasn’t really the case. For music, my listening experience was similar to the AirPods Pro. However, the Max has much less distortion when at an increased volume level. Let’s talk about audio when watching movies. The key here is Spatial Audio and the use of the 40mm drivers. Spatial Audio is a feature that is also on the AirPods Pro however the Max really optimizes this feature. Watching movies that utilize the Spatial Audio feature make you feel like you are sitting in a movie theater! Noise Cancellation 10/10 When Apple introduced Transparency Mode on the AirPods Pro they set a new standard for the headphone market. This feature has transferred over to the AirPods Max with even better noise cancellation due to the over the ear design of the Max. You feel completely isolated when in Noise Cancellation mode but as soon as you press that button turn on Transparency Mode you are brought right back to reality. Comfort 8/10 These things are heavy! At 385g these headphones have some mass to them. Due to the aluminum design, you will feel them on your head. I found the mesh bridge at the top to take some of the weight off the top of my head but not all of it. Will cause head fatigue if worn for extremely long periods of time. Battery Life 8/10 They don’t have the best battery life for wireless headphones however this is completely due to the large 40mm drivers and the fact that there is no off button on this pair of headphones. The only way to “turn them off” is to put them in the case. The case is dumb, the only thing it is useful for it to protect the ear cups from banging together when they are in transport. Price These headphones cost $549... that’s an insane price to pay for headphones. However, these are not your everyday consumer headphones. They are an Apple Product. Overall: If you are looking for over the ear headphones and are deep in the Apple Ecosystem then these are the headphones for you. If you are an everyday consumer and care more about price then look to Sony. If you just own an iPhone and want headphones and them being over the ear isn’t a dealbreaker, then get a pair of AirPods Pro.
