Love it. The noise cancellation is top notch. I’ll recommend

The noise canceling and the audio quality is very top notch. The ease of use with apples ecosystem makes this a no brainer if you already have lots of apple products. The build quality feels very premium and sturdy.

Great headphones, works perfectly for light gym sesh. Sweat proof! Very easy to clean as-well. Had them for 3 years and they still work like new.

Loved them!! Sound amazing beautiful color!! Comfortable

Greetings, fellow audiophiles and tech aficionados! Today, I invite you to join me on a journey through the highs and lows of owning the Apple AirPods Max, a pair of over-ear headphones that have been the talk of the town since their release. Let's dive into the details and see if these pricey cans are worth the hype or if they're just another overpriced Apple accessory. Design and Build: The first thing you'll notice about the AirPods Max is their exquisite design. The headphones come in a range of vibrant colors that would make even a rainbow blush with envy. The aluminum and mesh headband is both visually striking and comfortable to wear, although it does have a tendency to leave your hair looking like you just stepped out of a wind tunnel. One major design flaw is the lack of a 3.5mm audio port, forcing you to rely on Bluetooth or purchase a separate Lightning-to-3.5mm audio cable. This decision by Apple has sparked heated debates among audiophiles, with some claiming it's a step towards a wireless future, while others argue it's a ploy to sell more overpriced accessories. Sound Quality: When it comes to sound quality, the AirPods Max truly shine. The custom-built 40mm dynamic drivers deliver deep bass, accurate mid-range sounds, and crisp highs that will make your ears dance with joy. The noise cancellation is top-notch, effectively blocking out the cacophony of the outside world. However, the AirPods Max still struggle with mid- and high-frequency sounds, so if you're looking for complete silence, you might want to consider alternatives like the Bose 700. Battery Life and Charging: Battery life is where the AirPods Max truly excel. With a claimed 20 hours of battery life, you can enjoy your favorite tunes all day without having to worry about running out of juice. The headphones also support fast charging, giving you 1.5 hours of playback time with just a 5-minute charge. However, the inability to turn the AirPods Max off completely is a puzzling design choice, as they remain on for a few hours before going to sleep, draining the battery in the process. This means you'll need to remember to store them in their Smart Case to conserve battery life, which brings us to our next point... The Infamous Smart Case: The Smart Case has been the subject of much ridicule and meme-worthy content on the internet. Its unconventional design leaves the headband completely exposed, making it look like a purse for your headphones rather than a protective case. The case does put the AirPods Max into a low-power state, but its design leaves much to be desired. Spatial Audio and Head Tracking: One of the standout features of the AirPods Max is their Spatial Audio and head tracking capabilities. This technology positions sound all around you, creating a truly immersive audio experience. As you move your head, the audio adjusts accordingly, making it feel like the sound is coming from the screen in front of you. It's like having your own personal Dolby Atmos cinema, minus the sticky floors and overpriced popcorn. Price and Value: The AirPods Max are undeniably expensive, with a price tag of $549. This puts them in the upper echelon of over-ear headphones, and while they do offer impressive sound quality and innovative features, their premium price may be a deal-breaker for some. Conclusion: The Apple AirPods Max are a love letter to audiophiles and Apple enthusiasts alike, offering exceptional sound quality, innovative features, and a design that stands out from the crowd. However, their high price, lack of a 3.5mm audio port, and the controversial Smart Case may deter some potential buyers. Ultimately, the decision to purchase the AirPods Max comes down to your personal preferences and budget. If you're willing to shell out the cash and overlook some of their quirks, the AirPods Max will reward you with a sonic experience that's truly out of this world. Final Score: 8.5/10 Now, go forth and make your own informed decision, dear reader. May the force of great audio be with you!

I love the color, the sound, and the fit. They were perfect for my onlin e classes.

These headphones are quite comfortable, even after sitting on my head for a few hours. The sound and noise, cancellation or excellent. They are a great asset when traveling. I honestly was not expecting to use them as much as I do.

These are the best AirPods ever. I got these around Black Friday in 2023 from Best Buy and they have not failed me like how my Samsung headphones did in the pass. I am truly grateful for these headphones.

The Apple AirPods Max are high-end over-ear headphones with exceptional sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and a stylish design. They provide a comfortable fit with impressive noise isolation, making them suitable for extended listening sessions.

These headphones exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is clear with good bass, and they are very comfortable even after wearing them for long periods. The design looks premium and they fit well without feeling tight. Battery life is solid and they connect easily. Definitely worth the purchase.

I am thoroughly enjoying these exceptional headphones. They provide a remarkable listening experience with their immersive sound. The comfortable design ensures extended wear is a pleasure. This is a wonderful addition to your audio collection.

Purchased these Pink ones for my wife. To be honest she doesn't see the "Pink" and thinks they are orange. Since Apple discontinued the color not sure it matters BUT what does matter is the ease of connecting to all her apple devices and the sound quality, which is amazing! Top Quality. You can feel it You can see it Most Importantly you can hear it in all its Apple goodness!

Noisy cancellation works well. A little weird at the beginning when I heard my own voice on calls. The build is solid but heavy. Long battery life.

Overall the most comfortable and lightest over the head headphones out there. They hold an amazing charge and the voice recognition is amazing. Compatibility and pairing are the easiest which makes this product that much more amazing.

It's an apple product. build quality is great. comfort great. ease of use great. Very expensive for what it is.. you can find other in this realm for cheaper.

I also have the SONY XM4 but after reading all the good review of these I decided to bite the bullet and give these a try. $600 is not a small amount to swallow for a pair of headphones. I'm not an audiophile, but definitely someone who appreciates good sounding music. After receiving these, I immediately compared them with the XM4 back and forth with the same songs from Apple Music. Here is what I found: (1) the sound: the AirPods Max definitely sound better, but not by a whole lot. They have slightly better instrument separation. The highs are more crisp (I thought the XM4 was already very good in this regard but the AirPods Max are just even better). XM4's bass is a bit deeper but the AirPods Max's is still good and I'd say even a bit less muddy than the SONY's. I guess each to their own. Overall, every time I put on the AirPods Max for the same song, the song alway sounds just a slightly clearer and more pleasant for my taste. (2) the comfort: Sony wins this one hands down. Although I didn't feel much about the extra weight, there's definitely that clamping feeling on my head with the AirPods Max. Every time when I switched back to the XM4, my head immediately felt relieved. However, I also found that I was able to get used to the AirPods Max and wore them for hours without issues. (3) the Transparency mode: Apple definitely wins this one, and, to my surprise, this has become the main reason I'm keeping these. The Max's transparency mode is just so much better than the XM4's. I found myself sounding a lot more natural and even have a bit heightened sense of hearing with the Max's transparency mode on. The Sony's sounds just too robotic to me. I also like the simplicity of activating this feature by just a push of a button on the Max. (4) the Hand-off feature: I have an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac Mini. The airpods just switch between them effortlessly. However, I also have these connected to my work Windows 10 PC. The auto handoff feature will stop working if they’re still connected to the PC. Just keep this in mind. (5) Build quality. Apple wins this one for sure. Overall, I’d say that the sound of these is about $50-100 better than the XM4's. Considering the added features, much better build quality and the leather carrying case (which I hate btw), I was actually surprised that the $550 asking price actually seems to be reasonable to me now since the SONY’s MSRP is $350. Sure, it sucks these headphones don’t have an on-off button and won’t turn themselves off until you put them in the ugly case. But, on the other hand, they easily last about 3 days of use in my case. I think if I can charge my phone every day then I can certainly charge these once every 3 days. To be honest, I was going to return them after first wearing them and feeling the clamping effect on the first day. But after a couple of more days of extensive use, I’ve decided to keep them around because I think they're worth it.

I absolutely love my AirPods Max, but for these to be $600 it would be nice if they were water resistant. Any kind of liquid would ruin them and without Apple care it would be over $330 to fix. I suggest you get apple care. You’ll love these if you’re an Apple lover, but if you’re just on the market for headphones you can find a pair over $500 cheaper. If these were $250-$300 I would give them 5 stars.

Love this product especially for travel. Purchased on sale and haven't had an issue yet. They even pair with the tv's on some airlines. Fit nice and flat in a backpack, easy to travel with.

Kids love them. Great sound system, nice colors, holds charge well

These headphones are a BEAST when it comes to bass!! An absolute MASTERPIECE of the headphone world, if you want to feel like youre in the music, then these are the best over ear headphones for you
