Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: comfortable, high build quality, great controls with the Digital Crown very good sound quality, very good noise cancellation, easy device switching (iOS devices), easy pairing process Cons: no 3.5mm jack for wired listening, case is only way to “turn off”, less battery life than my last pair of Bluetooth noise canceling headphones (Sony WH1000XM3’s). To me the pros outweigh the cons. these are great sounding headphones with the best feature set for users inside the Apple ecosystem.

Although the sound cancellation is great I think the headphones are over rated.Not as loud as I expected Plus my hair dye got all over the ear cushion

Awesome choice! I was able to get this last minute Christmas gift for my daughter! She loves them! A++

These are amazing and comfortable headphones. Sound quality is superb along with noise cancellation. Talking on the phone using these as a hands free option are great as well. This is my second pair of these headphones!

best headphones in the game good sound great battery life

Apple has done it again! These are great sounding headphones with great noise cancelling technology.

very good item and price super good quality and fast shipped

Great quality, very comfortable and better than the beats I had.

Bought these back in early 2024 and they have remained beautifully durable! The ears are so comfy and don’t get hot, even if I’m wearing hooped earrings. The battery life is also amazing! I can leave them unused for a month and still come back to them at 80%!

I love these headphones so much they fit my face super well and I haven’t bought any other ones since

I have way too many headphones/earbuds in my home. My wife says that I have a problem, and she's probably right. My first reaction when I saw Apple introduce these headphones was; I can't wait to try them out. I've been using their AirPods, and AirPods Pro since release so I had high expectations for them. Then, they announced the price, I had to pause. I really didn't think I was going to end up purchasing them. I do own a few headphones around the $400 mark, but the Max's price seemed a bit too high for something unproven. Fast forward a few months, and I finally had the opportunity to purchase these headphones. My curiosity won out and I took the plunge. They finally had the Sky Blue color I was looking for, and I placed the order. I have zero regrets purchasing them, and they have become my default, goto headphones. Sound quality is unmatched. There are other headphones that come close. Sony and Bose have some great headphones that cost a couple of hundred less that have great sound. Those headphones get very close to the sound quality of the Max, but the Max wins out by a bit. The Max have great, great separation, and some amazing bass. Regardless of what type of genres you listen to, you will find some nuances to your music that you probably haven't noticed before. Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode are also both amazing. The noise cancellation does a great job of muting the world around you for the most part. It struggles with some low frequencies from my experience but easily drowns out most noise. I've yet to hear a better 'transparency' mode from any other manufacturer. Transparency mode on the entire AirPods line up is unmatched. It sounds natural and not robotic/amplified. I have heard others complain about weight being an issue. The Max are noticeably heavier than most of the other wireless headphones. After using these for over a month, I can confidently say that I don't notice the weight at all anymore. I use the Max for hours on end for movies, music, podcasts, and calls and I don't have issues with them sliding around, or feeling pressure. They are comfortable for me. What pushes these headphones ahead of the competition for me are the Apple ecosystem features. The fact that they auto switch to whatever ever device I am using, iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, is amazing. Just like the other AirPods, once you pair it to one Apple device, iCloud connects it to every other Apple device. Access to iMessages, Siri is great. The connection is solid and once again unmatched. I can go outside, all around my home and not lose connection or hear stuttering/drop out when I leave my device in the bedroom. The cost is considerable, but if you are considering some of the slightly less expensive offerings from Sony or Bose, and you are already invested in the Apple ecosystem, I'd give these a chance. I am glad I did, and I would be hard pressed to go back to a different set of headphones.

Great noise canceling headphones. Battery charge lasts which is a big plus.

I love the cancellation noise mode, and battery time is great

It’s great for listening to music and using the noise canceling to shut any other noise out,

Awesome sound and comfort - favorite headphones yet

What I like the most about my AirPods Max is the incredible noise cancellation—it completely drowns out distractions, making my music and calls crystal clear. The spatial audio gives an immersive feel, making movies and songs sound amazing. The build quality is premium, and the memory foam cushions are super comfortable for long listening sessions. I also love how effortlessly they switch between my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The only thing I wish was better is the Lightning charging; USB-C would’ve been more convenient. But overall, they feel like a luxury I truly enjoy!

Ah, the AirPods Max, Apple's audio architect that's as cool as the other side of the pillow. From the first unboxing, it was clear these headphones weren't just designed, they were "Apple'd." Sleek, sturdy, and with a promise of crafting a personal sound sanctuary even in the busiest of workplaces. What's the secret sauce? Active Noise Cancellation. One moment you're in the office symphony of keyboard clicks and coffee-machine chatter, the next you're wrapped in a bubble of serene silence. It's like having an invisible 'Do Not Disturb' sign floating around your head. But don't let the quiet fool you. Engage the Spatial Audio, and it's like hosting a private concert in your cranium. The sound quality is simply outstanding, a real treat for the eardrums. It's so immersive, you'll swear your favourite band is jamming out right beside your desk. This makes getting in the 'creative zone' a breeze. No distractions, just you, your thoughts, and perhaps the gentle hum of your favourite tunes. Think of it as the apple of your 'i' -dea generation! The battery life? More than enough to power through your day's work without skipping a beat. And if it does run out, hey, even the best performers need an intermission! So, to wrap up, the AirPods Max are a magnificent mix of style, sound, and silent productivity. They are a real treat for anyone looking to upgrade their workday soundtrack. 5/5 apples. After all, an 'Apple' product a day keeps workplace distractions away!

Great product really great sound. Works best with Apple Music tho.

The Apple AirPods Max are an indulgent choice, but for those who prioritize high-quality sound, comfort, and the Apple ecosystem, they’re hard to beat. They bring the cinematic audio experience straight to you with Spatial Audio and rich, immersive sound, while looking and feeling as luxurious as they sound.

I love them! They have just the right amount of base and noise cancellation. Not too overpowering of a sound but just right!
