    from the title. I am an apple fan boy believe me. I bought it and Bose but ended keeping the Bose, why: 1- nice sound separation but killer low volume ! 2- nice sturdy design but really heavy on head after little time. why I kept Bose 700: 1- not strange like apple max but more comfortable (less weight as well) 2- sound better! yes believe me, I am sadly saying that! and more volume with hurting your ears! 3- more affordable 4- surprisingly works good with apple devices (main point for an apple guy!) I can tolerate all cons but not low volume. that volume doesn't worth the price tag!

    Firmware Issues

    After owning a few pairs of AirPods and Apple-made Beats headphones with ZERO issues, I thought it would be a good idea to step up and get a pair of these. I bought these to use with my AppleTV after the wife and kid went to sleep at night so I can watch my shows without keeping them awake. They worked great for a couple weeks and then mysteriously developed a connection issue. They will pair with the AppleTV but lose connection every time you shift them on your ears. You can't lift one or both sides off without losing connection. I tried turning off head tracking but it's still the same result. I have to manually restart them to reconnect. Also, I can't pair them to anything other than an Apple product. It doesn't go into pairing mode when I hold the noise cancellation button like it's supposed to. I'm also experiencing battery drain issues while they're in the case. All these issues coincided with the current 4E71 firmware release in May-2022. Now it's mid-July and no new firmware has been released. They are basically useless and have been collecting dust for over two months now while I wait on the new firmware that might fix it. Surely I'm not the only person with these issues. Apple needs to fix this. Other than that, the sound was about the same as my Beats Studio or JBL 660NC headphones. They do have good noise cancellation. Overall these were a waste of $500 and I would not recommend them to anyone.

    The sound quality is outstanding on these, however there are a few hiccups. Recommend only getting them if you have an Apple device. Android? stay away. -No direct power off button, uses an ultra low power mode when not detected -They tend to clamp down and can be very uncomfortable (why I personally returned them)

    iPod max review

    Sound is excellent with superb battery life but cannot wear too long due to its heaviness and tightness. Noise cancellation is less effective than that of iPod pro 2. I compared the two during the flight. Recommend iPod pro 2.

    Not really worth it. Don’t get me wrong, they sound amazing and look good, But they keep on slipping off with any movement and get heavy after some time with them on. I wouldn’t recommend

    They’re ok sound quality. I bought these because I’m heavily invested in the apple ecosystem and for ease of paring with my devices. My Sony XM1’s sound better and were cheaper. The AirPod max are “mid”.

    Meh. I've used a lot of headphones, and while these are "good", they aren't $550 of good. Noise cancelling works fine and creates a little pressure on your ear. They are comfortable to wear, but I worry about the durability of the mesh and rubber coating. Spacial audio is a fun gimmick, but you would do better to invest in a great audio surround sound system than depend on headphones for surround sound. I'm an Apple fan (iphone, ipad pro, 2021 iMac), but these fell flat. The Sony M4 works better for me. If these were around the same price, I might keep them, but you're not really doing any better and the M4's come with a great case, have better bass, better battery life, and are more travel friendly than these. These also don't like connecting to blue tooth devices that aren't apple products. You can do it, but it isn't easy, can take a few tries, and they don't like to stay connected. These are by no means terrible headphones, tut worth an extra $250? No way.

    These things look and sound great! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my AirPods Max, but the price tag is a bit high. They are worth a $400-$450 price tag, but $550 is absurd. I would recommend Apple users with a large sum of extra cash but nobody else.
