Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing sound wonderful battery life comfortable fitting.

The AirPods Max are Apple's first over-ear headphones, and they're a high-end product that delivers both sound quality and noise cancellation. They feature 40mm dynamic drivers, an adaptive EQ, and active noise cancellation, among the best on the market. The AirPods Max also has a comfortable design with a soft headband and memory foam ear cups. In terms of sound quality, the AirPods Max are excellent. They produce a wide range of frequencies with clear detail and accurate imaging. The bass is deep and punchy, while the treble is crisp and airy. The adaptive EQ helps to ensure that the sound is optimized for your ears, and the noise cancellation effectively blocks out ambient noise. The AirPods Max are also very comfortable to wear. The headband is adjustable, and the ear cups are soft and cushioned. They can be worn for extended periods without causing discomfort. One of the downsides of the AirPods Max is their price. They are currently priced at $549, which is more expensive than many other high-end over-ear headphones. However, if you are looking for the best possible sound quality and noise cancellation, the AirPods Max are worth the investment. Overall, the AirPods Max are excellent headphones with superb sound quality, active noise cancellation, and a comfortable design. They are a bit pricey but worth the investment for those who demand the best. Pros: Excellent sound quality Best-in-class noise cancellation Comfortable design Long battery life Seamless integration with Apple devices Cons: Expensive No headphone jack Smart case is bulky and doesn't offer great protection Verdict: The AirPods Max are excellent headphones with superb sound quality, active noise cancellation, and a comfortable design. They are a bit pricey but worth the investment for those who demand the best. If you are looking for the best possible listening experience, the AirPods Max is the way to go.

These are fantastic. The noise cancellation and transparency is best in class. The case is weak but I think Apple did that on purpose to scratch accessory makers’ backs. I have a pretty technical ear and the sound quality is very good. I can’t compare it to dedicated headphone amps with actual audiophile grade headphones but I think these are punching way above their price point (which is to say it’s competing with $800-$1000 headphones). Also note none of those higher end options offer the same feature set as these. All music sounds great, but some genres and artists seem to sound better and cross into another dimension. Electronic music sounds otherworldly (Feed Me is an example of an artist that sounds incredibly good on these headphones). I have been listening to a lot of liquid drum & bass on these. Complicated compositions shine - you can hear each element of the track separated beautifully. Soundstage is wide and you can hear details you wouldn’t notice otherwise. When you find the right music and hit the noise cancellation, these really are an escape pod into another universe. That “Journey Into Sound” commercial is pretty much a dramatic example of what it’s like to use these. They transport you from reality. They are easy and satisfying to use. The build quality and finish is phenomenal. If you’re a casual music listener and don’t like to have long listening sessions then these may not be for you. If you don’t have any Apple devices that will work with these then you won’t get all the benefits but will still probably enjoy them, you may be better off with Sony or Bose. If you are the kind of person who loves to sit back on a day off and lose yourself in an album or a mix then you will adore these. Spatial audio is mind blowing but that’s just the cherry on top. These are a lovely personal listening device. If it’s in your budget and music is important to you then you won’t regret buying these.

I love the headphones, great sound and great color.

First off, I purchased these the Apple store because I had a deep discount (almost half off) ,it took me about two weeks to pull the trigger but,I decided to go ahead and so far no regrets,I listen to everything rock,metal,R&B,blues,country (some), and some rap. When I got these home and the first thing you notice is like always Apple has the most premium packing than anyone and as I opened the box I like everyone who have a pair was greeted by “The Bra” and I knew I would purchase a hard shell case (I did) ,I pulled them out and my phone synced like they were old friends so I said “since you guys have met,let’s see what you can do to become my friend and put them on,if you want to hear pure beauty put the on and listen to Mistral Wind by Heart, I was floored so I started going through my old school catalog EWF,Pink Floyd “Echoes” and was not disappointed. There those who’ll say these are on the heavy side,I don’t plan to use these while working out,the weight is no problem with me,the quality is top notch and I’m hoping that they will last a long time,because I like the appearance in the fact that they’re slim and do not look like a martian when wearing them.There will be those haters who will complain that “you spent that much for headphones “,there’s more expensive headphones out there and besides I spent my own money so get over it, I give these 5 Stars because they’re that good ,the build quality and my number one reason is because Bestbuy’s price, I see Bestbuy also has accessories for them and I purchased accessories for mine, If you can afford these and want them buy them you may love them.

I've had to go through one pair of these headphones, unfortunately they stopped connected and had to get replaced to a new pair. I only used them at home and were very careful using them, never got an answer on what was the issue on connection. As side from this issue, these headphones are premium inside and outside with both the sound quality and also the materials used. I personally use them only at home and for studying and movie watching, they are really enjoyable and you feel the music at a deeper level. For glasses wearers, they can get a bit uncomfortable and you might need to adjust them from time to time to get the right fit. I had to buy a third party case and protectors for the metal earcups to avoid them clanking on each other however before them, I did not notice any wear of them hitting each other. Given the high price tag and the cost of sending them for repair if something goes wrong, around $300, I'd highly recommend getting applecare just in case. Overall, they are premium headphones and as long as you take care of them, I'd imagine they'd last for years to come.

I love these. The noise cancelling mode is perfect when uou need peace and quiet. Great for meditating , and obviously taking in content. I rarely watch movies alone hut they are great for that. Love using them on the plane or just at home rewatching some Star Trek. If you are in apple’s ecosystem, these are the headphones to buy. Pair with your iphone and use them anywhere else: your mac, ipad,  tv and watch. Its all seamless and the sound quality is great. I know that there are more premium headphones that maybe sound better but for me and my use, these are perfect and make my life easier and more enjoyable. I dont have to switch inputs or do any setup. Just put them on and enjoy.

I purchased these mainly to watch movies and for air travel (when I start flying again). I previously owned the Bose 700, and bought AirPods based on positive reviews knowing that I could return them if they didn’t live up to the hype. After using them for several days, I found them to live up to the hype and to be worth the extra cost due to the following reasons: (1) Comfort - AirPods fit better on my head and don’t squeeze as much. Plus my ears don’t get hot and sweaty since the earcups breathe. (2) Noise cancelling - With a better fit and larger earcups, I get a better seal which improves noise cancellation. (3) Ability to replace battery - unlike other wireless headphones, Apple offers a battery replacement program for $79. Not sure what to do when the batteries on Sony and Bose headphones start to wear out. (4) Apple Integration - Perfect integration and automatic device switching with Apple products. (5) Controls - I love the dial volume control much better than touch controls which are finicky and don’t allow precise volume adjustment. (6) Sound - I really prefer the sound over the Bose 700. Very balanced and no detectable distortion even at full volume. (7) No detectable audio lag when watching movies on iPad or Apple TV (Bose 700 exhibited noticeable lag) Yes, the Smart Case sucks, but there are a number of aftermarket cases available for around $20 that give total protection when storing in a backpack or luggage. A pricey product, but I believe you get what you pay for with the AirPods Max.

Couldn’t wait to get these was able to use my card 12months no interest so I’m only paying for the item itself Hav been wearing ever since I got them really blocks out other sounds even my mom yelling for me down the hall haha Great All Around sound!!

I’ll start with a disclaimer — I’m fully committed to the Apple ecosystem. With that said, I’m disappointed with this product, and I’ll try and break it down into three big categories as a non-audiophile listener. Comfort: These things are heavy. That’s basically it. They. Are. HEAVY. You know they are on your head, you feel them anytime you move your head, and not in a flattering way. I was tired of them by the two hour mark. These things are about a 2/5 comfort for me, comparatively my go to QC35ii are a 5/5 and XM4s 4/5. Sound: Excellent sound, but as mentioned above, being a non audiophile listener, I didn’t appreciate much of a difference between the Bose, Sony or these. The bass is best on the Sony, if that matters to you. The sound IS excellent but I can’t justify the price difference for the sound alone given how similar they sound. Case: Disaster. Like iPhone 4 antenna gate bad. A case is meant to protect at its very basic purpose, these fail to do the bare minimum. Just awful. -1/5. Overall if you are in an apple ecosystem, I personally cannot recommend these. I think the comfort is a big point for me, and not everyone will have the same experience. Consider picking up a pair to trial them yourself. I’ll personally stick to my AirPod pros for now. I’m confident Apple will get these right eventually, and I’ll be first in line again, but for now I think there are several things they need to fix.

I am first to wake every day and like to watch movies. I miss having a dedicated theater room at our previous house and wanted to simulate some of the surround sound I had there without having out Atmos sound bar waking everyone. I’m very pleased with what Apple has done with Atmos and Spacial Audio with the latest AppleTV and these AirPods Max headphones. I now have a more more cinematic experience. I watched portions of James Bond No Time to Die and Spider Man Far from Home and both were greatly enhanced using these headphone. I just watched the new Dune again this week and I’m going to watch it again now. I was surprised how well the active noise reduction worked and that was really helpful for avoiding distracting sounds in my home this afternoon. With the quick press of a button I was able to switch that off and hear amplified room sound to have a conversation. I find the AirPod Max to be very comfortable. The case is nice for storing the headphones and charging them, but I would place them in a protective bag if I were carrying them outside my home. So these were a great buy and I have many uses for them, but I’m most happy with them meeting my needs for surround sound movie watching. Nice job, Apple.

I love these headphones! The color looks very sophisticated and sleek. They work perfectly - just make sure to put them on correctly (I had them on backwards initially and it really messed with the microphone feature). I use them all the time, especially when flying or in the office for the noise cancelling feature.

The AirPods Max deliver a warm, slightly V-shaped sound signature with good bass and mids, but the treble can be polarizing due to its peakiness, which may cause fatigue. They are noted for their good soundstage, imaging, and dynamics, although they may not handle subtle shifts in volume as well as some other headphones. The Noise Cancellation feature of these headphones are equipped with nine microphones that provide exceptional noise cancellation, effectively filtering out low-frequency noises. However, some high-pitched noises may not be completely drowned out. These are legit the best overall option for luxury quality headphones, bar none

Beast head phones I have bought so far, I would recommend 100%

These are hands down the most amazing headphones I’ve ever owned. Their noise cancelling feature is incredible. You can just place your headphones on and forget everything around you while jamming out to awesome music! The microphone is also really great for phone calls and picks up sound very well. I love that they go over the ears so they’re also perfect for working out and you don’t have to worry about them falling off. They even help keep your ears warm lol. Honestly this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I promise you won’t regret it!!!

I first purchased another brand of headsets from the suggestion of a woman who had them. I ended up exchanging them for these and I’m so glad I did. These headsets are great and the sound quality is amazing.

10/10 recommend these headphones my brother & i went to the gym today & when we were on the thread mill dude got a cramp on his leg and for about 2 min straight dude was trying to grab my attention to stop the machine & i could not hear a word until he tapped my shoulder, so concentrated on my music dude said i looked like “i wanted this peasant to leave me alone” anyways buy these if you wanna focus on on ur future & not the poor

If you’re deep into the Apple ecosystem and want top-tier sound quality, noise cancellation, and seamless integration, the AirPods Max are hard to beat. While pricey, they deliver an experience that justifies the cost—especially for Apple users who value convenience and premium design.

These headphones are really excellent. They feel high quality due to the metal construction and soft ear-cups. I like how the ear-cups are easily replaceable as that is usually the first things to show wear. I also love the sound quality, noise cancellation, transparency mode and seamless connection to my iphone. I also like how my ears are inside the ear-cups and they don’t sit on/squish my ears like beats. I do not like their stupid case, how they can’t fold up and how they can’t be turned off without the case. Also they are super expensive. Overall, I would highly recommend but only if you have an iPhone and some money to spare.

Really good sound and good quality i just dont like how all my apple products use different chargers but overall 10/10
