    No problems connecting to my devices. Sounds great! Just have to get used to the weight when wearing for long periods of time.

    AirPods Max

    I was undecided between the beats and air pods max. I decided to purchase the AirPods Max over the beats due to the noise cancellation option—after comparing the two. Although a bit heavy, they are still worth every bit of the cost. The quality and noise cancellation is the best I’ve experienced in terms of wireless headphones. You literally hear nothing with the feature on. The sound quality is great. Besides, the headphones being slightly heavy it makes up in quality and other characteristics I was looking for.

    Great Noise Cancelling Headset/Headphones

    They are pricey, but for my use very well worth it. I work in a "open" office environment with a lot of cubes/desks so naturally a lot of "noise". These do a fantastic job of blocking out most of all the office noise and they work great as a headset for meetings. The mic doesn't pickup the ambiant noise and my voice is clear. The battery isn't too bad. I use them about 7-9 hours a day and can get about 3 days out of them before they start warning about a low battery. This wasn't a big deal as I will try and plug them in during lunch or meetings away from my desk.

    The APMs are a decent first generation offering, but severely lacks what Sony and Bose offer at half the cost. No power button? Check. Lack of protective case? Check. No USB-C? Check. They sound great, feel great (if you can weather the weight over hours of listening), and if you’re not in a hurry to purchase them, I suggest to wait for the second generation APMs to address the shortcomings and more.

    The Apple AirPods Max are an excellent choice for those deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem and seeking high-quality audio with effective noise cancellation. While they come with a premium price tag and have a few design quirks, the overall experience they offer is impressive. They're particularly recommended for Apple users who will appreciate the added benefits of seamless device integration and exclusive features like spatial audio. With a 20 hr battery life I would say they’re pretty good.

    Excellent headset ! I bought these for my daughters, they are Hailie built, high sound quality, well integrated with apple products, super simple to use. The over the hear cup is also well thought. Only negative is the price that is too expensive compared to other options

    Almost perfect. Problematic with MacOS & Handoff:(

    The only place I think these things fall short seems to have to do with iOS & MacOS 1) Despite rigorous testing, convos with ChatGPT, etc. there is still a funky issue where sound quality is poor on MacOS unless you go to Sound Settings > Input > and then select a different microphone instead of the Airpods Max. It will instantly correct the audio problem. Look it up, tons of forums & Reddit pages on this issue/workaround. 2) Handoff between Apple devices can be problematic, especially when FaceTime gets involved. Hard to explain, but if you often wear these and swap between iOS & MacOS, its not always seamless. There are better headphones (audio & battery life) for the price, but I believe you pay the premium price on these BECAUSE of the promise to work well in Apple ecosystem...and they just fall a little short in that aspect Otherwise, I love them in every other way

    The best NC headphones on the market.. for a price

    As a headphone enthusiast, I wasn't very enthused with the announcement price of $550 for Apple's flagship headphone. The case is horrendous for the asking price and pairing them with an Android provides about as much use case as any other BT headphone you can buy at Wal-Mart. It's what these babies can do when paired to an Apple device that really adds some useful quirks. Right off the bat, transparency mode is the best of any headphone on the planet. It's simply mind blowing how good it is. Noise-Cancelling is not too far behind as well, besting even the Bose NC700. However, is it worth paying the additional $150-$200? If you can catch these on sale for over $100 off and have already integrated into the Apple ecosystem, I say go for it. Sound quality is good, however, they sound better with the wired cable.

    As much as I wanted to dislike this product due to the high price tag, I just can't dislike them. I already own the Sony XM4 headphones and had watched reviews on these. I saw mixed reviews. Some said they loved them, some said they were not worth the money. I really like my Sony's until I listened to the Airpods Max. Now...I can't really listen to the Sony's as I find the sound to be muddy and missing separation between things. The Airpods Max have such better separation and clear, crisp sounds in the higher frequencies. While I still feel the Sony's do have more "punch" at times, I know find that it is not clear and muddies the sound in the mid-range. The sub-base on the Airpods Max is so clean. The sound on the Airpods Max is great on bluetooth, but the sound is even better when connected via a cable and the use of a DAC. The sound is also greatly improved when listening to Hi-Res sources like Amazon Music HD or Tidal. If the excellent sound quality was not enough to sell me, the noise cancellation is certainly right on par with the Sony's, but they blow the competition away when is comes to the "pass through" mode. With other headphones, I found the "pass through" to be more gimmicky than an actual value. Some have implementations that make is useable, but the Airpods Max make is pleasure to use the mode. It is so natural sounding that I don't mind carrying on a conversation with the headphones on. That was the feature that had me completely sold. While the first portion of this give the headphones a rave review, I do have to mention the only part I hate about the headphones...the dreaded case! Call it a "bra" or a "purse" or whatever else is floating around out there, I really don't know what Apple was thinking. Outside of putting the headphone immediately into their "low power" state, there is nothing else of value with the case. It is ugly, not the easiest to get the headphones back into, and provides no protection for a product with a high price tag. There have been Apple products in the past I have questioned that have eventually become accepted (original Airpods)...I don't see how that can happen with this case. My recommendation is to check around on Amazon as there are already 3rd party options available that will offer the low power state. TLDR: These are the best sounding bluetooth headphones I have used, have tremendous build quality, work perfectly in the Apple Ecosystem, and have the best "pass through" audio mode I have ever heard. Look for an alternate case option.

    I bought these as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved them. They are super comfortable and doesn’t hurt your ears even after wearing them for hours. Extremely good quality and easy to travel with, perfect for the gym and running. I now need to get myself a pair!!

    The transparency and ANC modes on these are amazing, better than the experience you will get from the earbud style AirPods Pro. It’s great to have Siri integrated as well. The listening experience is great but they are heavy and will move on your head. There are products out there to cover the headband to keep them from moving and also protect the mesh. There are also products to cover the inner and outer portion of ear pieces because they will scratch or dent if you are not careful with them, the ear cans are made out of aluminum which is a softer metal. These are not for everyone and you will either love them or hate them. If you like luxury listening for long periods of time, and you are an apple loyal consumer these will be great for you.

    Nothing but good things to say about the Apple Air Pods Max, minus the price. 5 stars though because we all know the price. It is not a surprise. The green color was exactly what my spouse wanted, and I was happy to see that Best Buy had them in stock for pickup. The sound quality is what you would expect from apple. The noise cancelation is especially helpful on airplane trips. The best thing about Apple products is the ease of use. Would recommend to anyone! Good purchase would buy again.
