The most noticeable thing (besides the price tag), is the build quality. After taking off my Sony XM4s and putting these on, the build quality is excellent. They feel premium and they are comfortable (once you find the right spot on your head). The lack of an included cable was only frustrating for me because I use a Windows desktop for work and wanted to plug them in. Easy to just buy the cable. For anyone looking for true wireless, the lack of a cable is irrelevant.
Sound quality is on par with Sony’s. I’m not an audiophile, but for me there’s a noticeable difference in the mids. Sounds less “muddy.”
The Digital Crown is perfect, wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s easy and convenient, don’t have to hope you’re touching invisible touch buttons.
I would highly recommend.

Great audio quality. Battery life lasts long. Doesn’t hurt my ears like other over the ear headphones.

I’ve never owned a pair of headphones that feels so comfortable and fit so well. The sound quality is insane and makes me feel like I’m in my own world. 10/10 would recommend!

I absolutely LOVE these headphones, they’re by far the best overear headphones you can buy-especially if you own/use them with an Apple device. They’re absolutely top quality headphones that any audiophile would love and appreciate, and they’re also absolutely gorgeous and beautifully designed, as all Apple products are. I love the range of colors available as well. One of the biggest, most stand out features of these aside from the excellent sound quality is their exceptional noise cancellation. These have THE best noise cancellation of any headphone on the market, regardless of price. No matter how loud and busy the world around you is, once you turn on noise canceling, it completely shuts the world out and lets you enjoy perfect silence or allows you to listen to your music or watch videos/movies without any background noise affecting and disturbing you. I also like the controls on the headphones themselves, as it’s very simple and intuitive. There’s a dedicated button just for the noise canceling and transparency modes as well as a small dial similar to what’s on Apple Watches that controls volume as well as play/pause, skip/next track and previous track, and also allows you to summon Siri as well as answer or decline and end calls (you also can do all call and text functions by voice, as well as Siri reading out incoming texts to you) these headphones also work with Apples spatial audio and head tracking, which can be turned on/off any time, but it unfortunately is a feature only available when used with an Apple device, and one other cool feature only available with Apple devices is the Find My feature, which allows you to be able to always see where your headphones are on a map in the event you lose them, so it helps make sure you’re never going to lose these and always be able to find them, which is an awesome feature.

Nothing Better

Initially, I was put off by the price. However, within an hour of putting these on my head, I didn’t want to ever take them off. I’m pretty sure if I leave them on in the shower it won’t be covered by AppleCare. The sound is epic. They’re pretty comfortable on my giant noggin and elephant ears. Unlike those I’ve had previously the Apple specific features like directional sound are pretty dadgum cool. The noise canceling works better than any I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve tested dozens of noise canceling headsets over the years. The ease of use is right up there against all Apple products with crown is easy to adjust for volume and command, and the other button can be conveniently assigned all in all I really don’t wanna take these off and still I must go take a shower. Wish me luck.

In terms of sound quality they’re very good. Comfortably wise I will say I get a little tired of having them for a long time around my neck. Since I use them not often the battery life is very good so far.

The AirPods Max is a premium addition to Apple's audio lineup, offering a truly immersive audio experience and a level of luxury that sets it apart from other headphones on the market. As an avid music lover and tech enthusiast, I had the opportunity to try out the AirPods Max, and I must say, they left a lasting impression.
First and foremost, the sound quality of the AirPods Max is outstanding. The dynamic range is impressive, delivering rich, detailed audio across a wide spectrum. The balance between lows, mids, and highs is well-tuned, providing a satisfying listening experience regardless of the genre. From delicate instrumentals to bass-heavy tracks, the AirPods Max handled them all with precision and clarity.
The active noise cancellation (ANC) feature is one of the standout aspects of these headphones. It effectively blocks out ambient noise, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your music or enjoy moments of blissful silence. The transparency mode is equally impressive, seamlessly blending the surrounding sounds into your listening experience when you need to be aware of your environment.
Comfort is another area where the AirPods Max excels. The over-ear design, combined with a soft mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions, ensures a snug and comfortable fit, even during extended listening sessions. The weight distribution is well-balanced, alleviating any pressure points and providing a secure feel. However, it's worth noting that the AirPods Max is relatively heavy compared to other headphones, which may cause some discomfort for users with sensitive necks.
The build quality of the AirPods Max is exceptional, as expected from Apple. The premium materials, including stainless steel and mesh fabric, give them a luxurious look and feel. The controls are intuitive, with a Digital Crown for volume adjustment and playback control, and the ear cups feature a magnetized design that automatically pauses playback when you remove them. These small details add to the overall user experience.
When it comes to battery life, the AirPods Max delivers a respectable performance. With up to 20 hours of listening time on a single charge, it easily lasts throughout the day. The Smart Case, although controversial due to its unconventional design, is functional and puts the headphones in an ultra-low power state to preserve battery life when not in use.
The AirPods Max does come with a higher price tag compared to other premium headphones, which may be a consideration for some buyers. However, the combination of exceptional sound quality, top-notch ANC, luxurious design, and seamless integration with Apple devices makes it a worthwhile investment for audio enthusiasts and Apple aficionados.
In conclusion, the AirPods Max delivers an immersive audio experience with its exceptional sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and comfortable design. Its luxurious build quality and thoughtful features showcase Apple's attention to detail. While the price may be a deterrent for some, the AirPods Max remains a top choice for those seeking a premium listening experience and a touch of elegance in their daily lives.

I've had these for about a year, and they are so reliable. I've tried different brands of headphones but these not only sit comfortably on my head but also switch easily from device to device compared to others.
I also do not have to worry about the band breaking when I sleep with it so thats a plus!

I’m enjoying these very much, was skeptical at first about them. But I enjoy them I take them everywhere. I mainly gave them 4 stars because you can’t physically turn them off they are kinda heavy.

Apple headphones, especially the AirPods, are super popular for good reasons. They've got that sleek design that just screams Apple, right? Plus, they pair up with your iPhone like magic, no fumbling with Bluetooth settings. The sound quality is pretty crisp, and they've got those smart features like pausing your music when you take one out. And don't even get me started on the convenience of that little charging case it's a game changer for sure!

These headphones are amazing. I have tried dozens of headphones over the year and none compare to the Airpods Max. There is a big reason that these headphones cost $500+. I had tested multiple beats, sony, and Bose prior to buying these and the difference is like night and day. I highly recommend anyone who is not afraid to spend a little extra to purchase these headphones from Best Buy. Purchasing this item was very easy and came very fast for free as compared to other online retailers.
The sound quality on these headphones is unmatched, compared to most other headphones on the market. I am really looking forward to similar versions to these headphones. The spatial sound quality is unmatched.
The 20 hour battery life of these headphones is more than enough and I hardly ever worry about them being drained or falling too low in power.
The connectivity of these headphones is superb. They automatically connect to the last connected device as soon as you turn the device on, this makes things very convenient. I also wanted to add that you have a great feeling when you put them over your ears as your ears just plop right into the muffs.
At the end of the day, with all of the positives of this headset, it is definitely worth the price when comparing them to other brands. I highly recommend anyone else to purchase them if you are thinking about it and purchase them from Best Buy as they make purchasing speedy and convenient for everyone.
