Customer Ratings & Reviews

Truly a terrific upgrade from the Grado 80e's, which had a good sound but were not built very well, and ended up finally breaking. I tried the Beats Solo Pro, yet the comfort level was not the best. The APMs are comfortable, sound very good, and the transparency mode is welcome, as at times my wife wants to converse, and the transparency mode makes that possible I purchased them as open box, and they were "excellent".

Super comfortable, doesnt slip and slide on your head. And the best sound, i love being able to switch back and fourth between noisecanceling and transparency mode when needed.

They are extremely comfy. The noise cancelling is great - cuts out airport/plane noise very well. They stay on when working out, they are very much worth the purchase.

This is definitely a premium audio experience (not audiophile, premium) for the users who have a lot of Apple products or are used to how the Apple ecosystem works. The sound quality is good enough that it will impress most people, and the seemless connection between Apple products makes it a better option than most other headphones in this price range. Also the proprietary spacial audio technology that Apple uses, combined with the effective active noise cancellation (ANC) makes watching movies in a noisy environment a special experience. The head tracking truly makes it sound like you are watching a movie in front of a Dolby Atmos entertainment system in a theater. As for the drawbacks, the usual stuff that everyone talks about. The case is not great. I am not alone in wanting a way to fully switch off the headset. But is okay to live with until the second generation comes out to address this issue. Also along those lines, I would like a way to see the battery percentage without putting them on and checking my device. Those two things arent a huge deal if you are going to leave them plugged into a lightning connector most of the time they aren't being used, but for someone who travels a lot and is dependent on battery availability, I could imagine it would get quite annoying. If you aren't switching between Apple devices all the time, or want to save money, then you would probably be better off with the competition from Sony or Bose.

I dont usually go for over the ear headphones but these were amazing and the comfortability was great. Connected to my device seamlessly and they sound great.

Great sound and NC and excellent call quality, a bit tight on my head but overall comfortable. They are probably a bit better than the competitive brands from Sony and Bose but not a huge delta. Bottom line, if you are invested in the Apple eco-system and have the money, go for it. Either of the lower cost competitors offer similar quality and you won't be disappointed with them either. They are large for travel, if you plan to be on planes, trains and out about, not the best choice, they are heavy and big.

The sound and the bass quality is very amazing, very easy to set up and connect to phone also the battery life is very good and last long and I don’t think I could have bought a better pair of headphones ever in my life love the headphones and worth the money

Since they're made out of metal, they're a bit heavier than other headphones but you get used to it and I don't find it uncomfortable. Really great sound and felt like an upgrade from my Bose! Only thing I dislike is the case since it's not best for travel, but will buy something separately to house it in.

I couldn't live without these. The sound quality when paired with Apple Music and their premium quality Lossless spatialized audio is phenomenal. They are comfortable and fold up for easy storage and transportation.

Great headphones. Not sweat or water resistant which is sad, but comfortable to wear most of the day while working. Sound quality is great and the noise cancellation is fantastic. Battery life has been great and it connects easily to all my apple devices.

I will NEVER get on a plane without this headphone. It cuts out all the noise and I hear crystal clear music. I was traveling from Morocco to Madrid to New York to San Francisco on one charge. Very impressive. Headset is really comfortable, especially I have big ears.

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

Good sound quality and long battery life. Fit is usually really good, but sometimes it may slide backwards if you’re lying down.

Must have if you are an Apple nerd. AirPod Pros are fine for listening to music or podcasts, but if you want to beef up the sound go with these. When I really want to hear all the background in a particular song or when watching TV shows and movies, these are my go to. They are a little bit heavy, but not uncomfortable on the head. I wanted to save a little on the price so I bought mine as Open Box. The only issue was that the previous owners Apple ID was still linked to the headset. I had to do a factory reset in order to set it up for my Apple ID. Easily connects to my other Apple products. I've used Beats in the past and these feel more durable and better quality.

I love them! I wear them all the time, really comfortable and great sound quality

Great pair of headphones! I’ve been using them for studying, and they’ve been excellent. They’re comfortable and don’t feel too heavy on my ears, even after long sessions. The noise cancellation is superb—it really helps block out distractions and keeps me focused. Definitely a solid choice!

these are really nice, the volume may not be as loud as something like other brands but trust me they get LOUD, the sound quality on these is incomparable with anything else, they sound amazing, i’ve had multiple people try them out and they couldn’t believe the quality on them, i love the detachable magnet for the ear muffs, overall great headphones for everyday use, gym, airplane, walking, etc… anything you want to do, these are great, and stylish too! overall 11/10 and I would definitely purchase again, I might even purchase the Airpod Max 2 when they come out!

Connects to my phone immediately. Sounds good, and noise canceling is very good!

These are quality built. With that said due to the material it’s a bit heavy but I quickly got used to that. The sound quality is incredible. The quick connectivity to devices is amazing and surprisingly it’s been a go to when using my Apple TV at night so I don’t disturb everyone else sleeping. It’s literally like I have my surround still on once I place the headphones on. The hear through is next level. When it’s one you can still hear the music or movie nicely while not being oblivious to everyone else around you. I got some silicone covers for the ear parts so I could use it at the gym. Truly the best headphones I’ve ever had in my life.

I’m really enjoying these headphones. They work great while studying and blocking out noise in the library. Also very comfortable and the battery lasts all day.
