Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the aesthetic and luxurious design I love them for travel and for the gym sound is beautiful.It lasts so long

I purchased these mainly for the noise cancellation, and the fact that I dislike earbuds. Both the noise cancellation and transparency modes work very well. They're comfortable, and less fatiguing than expected over long stretches, given the weight. They also (as expected) work very well for those with multiple Apple devices.

This review is based on feedback from someone whose technology is overwhelmingly through Apple. The functionality is probably the best feature here. Right out of the box, they just work seamlessly. Exactly the same as AirPods, or other Apply headphones, these just plain work. In terms of sound, it's pretty good. Before these, I had Bose QC-35II and those were good. I would say these are on par with those, maybe a bit better. The Active Noise Cancelling feature works pretty good too. Better than my Bose did for sure. As a frequent flyer, I don't fly without them and the Apple AirPods Max are definitely an improvement. Comfort - they are pretty heavy for headphones, no doubt about it. However, they are still pretty comfy, even on long flights of 3 hours or more. In spite of some initial concerns, after giving them a try now on several flights, I think these are more comfortable than the Bose. Battery life seems to be fine. No issues there.

Outstanding sound quality and excellent noise cancellation are the 2 things I love. I bought these to replace AirPods Pro that would never stay seated in my ears. These solve the issue and provide a better overall experience. Much better battery life and comfortable to wear all day. My only complaint is that they're somewhat heavy.

Nice design and solid build quality Amazing active noise canceling and transparency mode Comfortable ear pads and fabric headband Decent battery life Button and digital crown are great to use Good sound quality with no distortion Great connection strength with Bluetooth 5.0

Brilliant! Great sound. Very comfortable, simple connectivity to the Appleverse. Button controls instead of hard to find and use sweeps and taps. Downsides - no USB-C adapter; silly case leaves $600 headphones far too exposed; the only bi-directional cable available (to feed sound to the 'phones for airline use etc) comes from Apple for nearly $40!

Ok. I waited 7 months before I purchased these. I looked at countless YouTube reviews and other videos. I couldn’t see them in person, or listen to them anywhere. So when the price went down to $479 that was the button pusher for me. Build quality is top notch, pairing and matching up with the Apple ecosystem was on par. Sound stage was awesome and at times I was in awe of the different things I hadn’t hear while listening to songs I’ve listened to before. Transparency mode was the best I’ve heard on the any headphones I have so for. I have the Sony XM4, Skullcandy crush ANC. And I’ve listened and used plenty of Bose products. However…. Having said all of that here is why I took them back. They are too heavy and super uncomfortable around my ears, to the point where they made my head hurt. I purchased a carrying case, ear cup protectors, both front and back and a head band protector. I really miss them, but the clamping pressure was just too much to bear. Maybe a third party will come out with an ear cup that can help even out the clapping pressure, but again. It was just too much Last… I wish they were louder. Not by much, but there were times where the music was hitting the sweet spot and I’d want to turn it up and there was nothing else left. They also needed to be louder for movie watching. I might purchase them again (open box) and then they would be worth the trouble. But after tax they were still $523.

Near Perfect headphones with ANC. I thought allot about buying a over the ear headphones for movies and tv. Features and so forth. The buttons are very intuitive. Really good bluetooth connection from all the way through 2 stair ways. I live fairly decently sized house. I'm in the attic allot that was converted to a office. The sound Is really good. I wear this. I thought about Bose which came fairly close. But the Sony were not in my radar. The Noise cancel performance is strong. But from the reviews the sound quality is hampered to the point where its distracting. I'm a Iphone/ipad user too. I also have a old 15inch 2014 macbook pro. The switching from the iphone and the ipad is well done. I have not used the macbook pro too much. But it does work with its features. This works well with windows too. The physical buttons and the ability to use lightning port as a 3.5mm aux is great. once you connect the expensive apple cable to the aux port. It turns off the bluetooth, This is good enough for minor critical listening. I have seen reviews where its a no go. But you know if something isn't recorded right. Especially on a youtube video where clipping and over modulation is a factor. You can even tell if stereo capsule on a youtube streaming mic is off when the person speaks into the mike. The detail is too much. Now this not a flat headphones. Its an unusual scoop type with clarity and good base. Not crazy base like a skull candy headphone. I have tried this for working out. It is fine. But the performance is about the same as any other noise canceling headphone with the wicked cushion third party accessory. I would not recommend going to hard with sweat without those wicked cushions. I have seen other people at the gym with these. These are not the best but serviceable. It will do the job. Its not ear hook ear buds. The airpods pro 2 with that wicked cushion accessory is what I recommend if you plan on going crazy at the gym being all sweaty after words. I got these because of the summer weather and the always on ac in the office with a big tv with bluetooth. Its excellent with for watching movies and listening to music. This what I got it for. Especially since I can't have loud speakers late at night. The hear through is 1 to 1 too. Its great when your talking to some one and you don't want to take these off. The spacial audio is good Dolby Atmos is good too. I do not have allot of experience with this though. The case is fine. Its a travel case really. Which is fine because the airpods max I keep in the house. I am happy enough that I bought the airpods pro 2 also. I Use that walking and working out. Hope this is insightful.

The sound quality is great and the noise cancelling is amazing aswell. I like the sleek design although it is on the heavier side, they are extremely comfortable and youll forget you have it on.

ive have both Bose and Sony but im really all apple except gaming and these where 399 cause they are trying to get rid of the lightning connector love the headphones wore them on a 14 hour flight I do wish though apple would have done something better chip wise with the new version but 150 off for slightly different color and lightning versus usb c for the same headphones same sound everything ill take it only thing that sucks its the case

The headphones are great quality. I love the color perfect just in case if I were to have make up on, I wouldn’t have to worry about transferring onto my headphones. I only charge them every 2 to 3 days. The battery life is incredible. Best Buy is my always go to for electronics whether it’s online or in person I wouldn’t buy them from anywhere else.

Fantastic sound - totally enveloping, comfortable, well built. Perfect integration with Apple source devices. Noise cancellation is top tier. I also like how they don’t stick out from your head as much as other headphones - sleek look. Everyone complains about the case, but it’s actually not that bad, especially if you’re putting these inside a backpack or something. Plus there are plenty of inexpensive full case options out there.

Really happy with these. The convenience of these just working seamlessly with all my apple products and the amazing sound quality makes it my favorite apple product that's come out in a long time. If you have an Apple TV, you will have another reason to love these. Honestly the best feature about these, aside from the sound quality are the noise cancellation and transparency modes. Transparency mode is like wearing a hearing aid because I can hear better with it on than with my own ears! Way better ANC than the AirPods pro and my old headphones (bowers and wilkins px). Pro tip #1: I have a big head and initially the clamping force felt kind of strong on my head. Wasn't a fan of it. I kind of just wore them in over time and also flexed them apart a bit and now they fit my giant head better. They're super comfortable. Pro tip #2: the seal is so good on the earpads that if you press the headphones against your ears, it will create a suction that, for me, is unpleasant. You'll know what I mean. Just don't press them against your head. Pro tip #3: $35 cable is worth it if you're seeking the best sound quality. Listening to lossless music on Tidal through my external DAC is a great experience. The SQ difference isn't enormous because it's already pretty good via airplay, but it's worth it to me to have the option and the cable also gets rid of the audio latency and that lets me edit videos.

I love the color! The sound is perfect and the noise cancellation works perfectly. The charge is long lasting.
