Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound! Sturdy. Definitely worth the money. Very satisfied.

Absolutely great headphones! Amazing sound Quality and the noise cancellation is great. I work at a dog daycare so it gets very loud and these have helped me out tremendously.

Great sound, seamless connectivity for apple devices. Not a fan of the fit, too much pressure on the temples and not evenly distributed around the ear.

Best headphones ..................................

Was contemplating getting these for about a month and a half and getting them has been a great decision. Excelent sound and noise cancelation qualities, and the intergration with apple tv makes movies and tv shows an entirly new experience

Sound quality at certain volume levels is almost exactly the same. Kind of unbelievable. It is as though Apple reverse engineered the Bose 700 and copied its sound signature and noice canceling to within 5 percent. There is a definite sound quality difference though that changes with the volume level. This is all about the DSP. Of course, the digital signal processing (DSP) is called Computational Audio on the Max and Volume Optimized EQ on the Bose. This is what works differently and what accounts for sound differences dependent on the volume. Basically, the Bose sound better at 60 percent volume and below. Bose just has it dialed in so that everything sounds rich and balanced. I usually listen to music at about 55 percent volume on my iPad. So, I prefer the sound of the Bose. The sound at 60 percent and below on the AirPods Max suffers from a veiled upper midrange. An alto saxophone, for example, will sound as though it is being played behind a wooden door.

Great pair of headphones. I wouldn't pay the full $550 for it by any means, but if you come across these on sale or see it discounted more elsewhere, remember you can have Best Buy price match these headphones -- it's what I did. Perfect if you're in the apple ecosystem - switching between devices is even more seamless than with my AirPods Pro. Sound quality is excellent. Headphones are very comfortable. If they don't feel right on your head or too tight on first wear, don't forget to lengthen the band at the parts that attach to the cups. It may not seem like you can lengthen the headset, but you can. Noise cancellation is very, very good. The case it comes with is very, very stupid due to the fact it's required to put the headphones into in order for them to go into sleep mode and not drain battery faster. It's my only con for these headphones. Keep in mind, you can purchase accessories online that can put these headphones to sleep that are better than the dumb case they come with. Still, it would be nice if Apple provided a way to put these into sleep mode with the buttons.

My favorite pair of headphones by far. Love these things

awesome and fast pickup, love the quality and the color and a really good deal

I was skeptical about paying this much for noise canceling headphones but I will say they work amazing! Went on a trip recently and I couldn’t even hear the engine noise on the airplane. Bass is great as well but of course we all know if you are more of an audiophile Sony is the way to go for that but as far as the Apple ecosystem goes and wanting that true superior noise canceling feature these are it.

Amazing sound, best consumer headphones I’ve heard. Noise cancelation is unmatched. Unfortunately they are big, bulky, and heavy. Because of the weight they tend to slip off your head if your moving, walking, working out. Hopefully Apple will refine the APMax in the future. Currently they are not worth $500.

I recently purchased for my wife and it exceeded all her expectations. We are impressed by the premium build quality and its sleek design. The sound quality is great and the canopy makes them comfortable for hours of listening!

Arguably the best headphones ever created…ONLY if you can find them on sale. At $550, too expensive but for $450 and below absolutely insane experience.

Excellent sound, love the color and it pairs very well with everything.

Great sound. I love these AirPods they are awesome. Get on sale though for max value

I’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a month now, and so far, I’m impressed. The transparency mode is my favorite feature these headphones offer. Since I have an iPhone, the ease of use is through the roof. My only problem with these headphones is the price and age. The cost, I feel, is too high, but the build quality is crazy good. I’m not sure if it justifies the price. The fact that these headphones are four years old and Apple has not given this product a refresh is bonkers. Even with the personal problems I have with these headphones, I love these headphones. I hope Apple will update these ASAP.

10/10 best headphones I’ve used in a while would definitely recommend to friends and family get yours today! I will be buying the rest of the colors

Love. Great sound quality and super comfortable. 10/10

Excellent sound! Everything that you would come to expect from a premium apple product. Bass is not overpowering and actually adds to the crisp sound experience. Very easy to pair with apple device and also to switch devices. I have an iMac, iPad, and iPhone and am able to connect to all 3 seamlessly. to sure how it would work on non-apple devices but it is bluetooth so I am sure connectivity would not be an issue. The noise cancellation is awesome and rivals that of the BOSE headsets which actually do this the best in my opinion. The transparency mode works exceptionally well and the spatial sound is INCREDIBLE! Just like watching a movie in the theatre when watching movies and video on iPhone, iPad, or computer. Another really cool feature is that you can connect with your Apple TV to allow for a personal viewing experience that does not disturb any one else in case you're watching TV late at night. Aesthetically these things are very nice! Mesh ear cups are comfortable, though after long periods they do get a little warm. Ear cups can be replaced as well after wear, though for $60. The headset is a bit heavy due to the aluminum, but doesn't really bother me much when wearing them. One thing I would change is the case. For a $550 headset you would think that it would warrant some type of hard shell case, but you have to get that after market. Also battery lasts a while, but does drain if not placed in case, since that is the only way they turn completely off. Other than those small things I think these are an exceptional purchase and am enjoying them immensely!

Got it for someone as a gift and they really loved it but the noise canceling on the headphones can feel uncomfortable.
