Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love these headphones, they comfortable for running and working out.

There are an abundance of reviews on the AirPods Max, so in this review I do not go through the usual attributes, but rather focus on specific items/issues. Hope this helps. When you (a prospective buyer) are here, it’s likely that you have already done your research, and that you are set to buy it but might have some reservations. Yes, the aesthetic, sound, functionality, and build quality are awesome. Phone call quality is phenomenal. Just deal with the case or buy another one from a 3rd party. Let me address certain issues that many of us might have concerns: 1) Battery drain. Yes, it was an issue. The root cause appears to be the old firmware which causes the APX not to be (or at least consistently) in sleep mode when placed in the case and likely connected via Bluetooth or constantly trying to look for connected device(s). After the firmware update, the issue was reasonably resolved — please do not expect it to not lose less than 3% over a span of 12 hours. 2) Connectivity issue. In an ideal situation, when an APX is taken out of the case and put on one’s head, there are a visual indicator and subsequently an audible indicator that the APX is connected to a mobile device (e.g., an iPhone). Indeed, the sound is output to the APX from the mobile device’s source. However, at times, the sound indicator is present, with or without the visual indicator, and the APX is not connected to the mobile device. I have to manually connect the APX. After multiple resets, this issue appears to be mitigated, and only happens once awhile. 3) Weight & moisture/heat. After wearing for an extended period of time, there’s moisture and heat built up over the ears, probably due to the mesh material. For me, neither the weight nor the built-up moister/heat is a contributing factor in causing unbearable discomfort. In deed it’s very comfortable to wear. To some, I could see that the built-up moister/heat could cause discomfort. A brief removal of the APX could likely help mitigate the moisture/heat issue. 4) Observation—automatic music resumes. With the auto head detection’s being turned on, when the APX is taken off/removed, music pauses and will resumes upon sensing that the APX is put back on your head over the ears. However, I observed that the music is paused and can be automatically resumed only if the APX is removed no longer than 15 seconds. If there are more than 15 seconds, resume functionality needs to be manually activated. In brief, it’s a great wireless headphone at its price range with a few nuisances that not only can be mitigated, but are substantially outweighed by the positive attributes.

Got these for my girlfriend and she loves them, the quality of these are nuts.

Excellent product great sound. The noise cancelling feature is awesome great for watching movies and listening to music.

Love this color. Very good quality and blockes out other sounds.

Amazing sound, premium comfort, and top noise canceling — totally worth it!

One of the best pair of headphones I’ve ever used. The sound canceling is too notch and they feel like they’re made with quality material. Can get a little heavy on the head after a while but, still comfortable around the ears.

I was a little concerned about the price, but they are definitely worth it. Some over the ear headphones make my ears sore, but not these, they are so comfortable. I love the sound and noise canceling.

I tried several pairs of premium headphones before I finally settled on the AirPods Max, which I've now owned for about seven months. I use them with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows laptop, and they blow all of the other options I tried out of the water. Sound quality, comfort, noise cancellation, etc.-- leagues beyond the competition. Although they are expensive, they are, without a doubt, my single favorite purchase of anything ever. After wearing them several hours a day every day for the last seven months, I have experienced two cons. First, they're significantly heavier than competitive headphones, resulting in the band pressing uncomfortably into my head after a while. If you experience this, I've found that removing them for all of twenty seconds eliminates the issue, making them feel as comfortable as ever. Second, the ear cups have begun to smell as a result of, you know, direct contact with a bodily orifice for extended periods of time. I have not experienced this with other headphones, even the pair that I had for several years. However, I eliminated the smell with the same spray I use for my running shoes, and there's no damage. In all other ways, I have experienced no discomfort, damage, or other downside. I would highly recommend this purchase.

Love how lightweight it is and the noise isolation is great!

Sound quality is beyond impressive. True noise cancellation!! Will buy another one!

I wanted these headphones for a long time because I thought they were really cool, the noise cancelling had always been one of my favorite features on the air pod products. The detachable ear part caught my eye as well. I love the color options and everything. However, once I started to wear them a lot I noticed with my glasses and even without, the headphones were so tight they were cramping my head! Not to panic, I researched on Reddit and others were experiencing this same issue. The conclusion was that they needed to be stretched out pretty far to loosen up. They don’t break, they actually stretch pretty far without breaking. Whenever they are right I stretch them in intervals. They feel better after that. One person put theirs on a basketball to stretch them out and they didn’t break! They’re very high quality and they have GREAT sound so I was glad I was able to get them to stop hurting my head. Of course there are other effortlessly comfortable headphones on the market, but with everything else that comes with the apple ones they’re definitely worth it!! Everything else about this product is truly seamless.

I recently acquired the Apple AirPods Max, and I'm utterly impressed. The build quality is top-notch, providing both style and comfort. The sound quality is simply unmatched, offering a rich and immersive audio experience with powerful noise cancellation. Seamless integration with Apple devices, effortless switching between devices, and the convenience of automatic pause/play enhance the overall user experience. The transparency mode is a game-changer for staying aware of surroundings. While the price may be higher, the AirPods Max are an investment in quality that's worth every penny. If you're after the best in high-end headphones, look no further than the Apple AirPods Max.

Pretty solid overall. Leveraged open box deal and Black Friday sale so got these head phones way below retail price. Travel a lot which these do a really solid job of canceling out plane engines. Noise Cancellation and transparency are top tier and they help disconnect. Will say noticing some platforms sound a lot better than others through them. Never noticed the differences of possibly speed of transmission or overall “quality” until I got these. Apple Music sounds probably the best (which I rarely use but go figure), Spotify solid second and Tidal HiFi coming in third. I know sounds absurd but trust me. All in all would be a 5 but lack of instructions on how to clean and subtle platform changes keep it from true 5 star also the inflexibility of the set and packaging for transport is awful; I have a great cheap travel case from Amazon if need link please lmk. Perks: can charge with portable charger(lighting), noise cancellation and transparency. Pro Tip: buy open box, but ask to inspect(also got apple care highly recommend especially for open box.) Also wait for back to school or Black Friday sales.

These were a great addition for me. They are stunning and the sound is unmatched.

Has great sound easy to use and battery last long.

Just purchased these and they weren’t connecting fast to my iPhone. For how loud I was told it gets isn’t valid. The sound canceling helps but it’s just does not get as loud as I expected.

I was undecided on which air pods pro to get, finally decided on the nice color an overall good quality. They look very aesthetic and good brand.

This is the headphone to get if you are immersed in the apple ecosystem like I am. Yes they have an apple tax but price aside they are amazing. If you have the money to afford these but are hesitant because of the performance, don't be. Noise canceling and transparency mode are perfected in this version. The sound through apple music and Disney plus (Dolby) sound amazing, I can identify so many instruments and beats using these. Seamless pairing and intuitive controls make a priceless experience. The bass isnt overwhelming, its not reference level flat but elevates songs if you enjoy bass. The volume rocker, though being small, makes controlling the volume precise to fine tune the audio if its too loud or not loud enough to a level your phones physical buttons cant get to. The 3.5mm 35$ cable does work great and worth it for plugging into a computer or other audio device. The build, this was the best for last, the way these feel taking out of its case and putting on really makes you feel like you spend 550 and are using an apple product. Yes its heavy but the mesh headband helps alleviate the pressure on your head. The cups breath to a point I used them for a full 10 hours and didn't notice my ears overheating. If you are looking for a sign to buy these, do it if you can afford them, if you are looking to get amazing value look elsewhere.

I own alot of headphones Focal Bathys and B&W PX8's. The Airpods Max is very close to both and better as far as noise canceling and passthrough. The Focal sound is very spacious and wide, B&W is close to the same but more bass, Max sound is very nice and dynamic but not quite as good as either of the two. But if you have a Iphone and NC and passthrough is important to you the Iphone is the better buy especially when it is cheaper and they're good enough to make you say wow even if the other 2 is better and per person that is sometimes debateable.
