    I’m simply love these. Got them as a gift. Don’t think in would pay this much for them. Down side they are very heavy. But that about the only flaw I have with them. Sound is great, comfortable, connects easy . And has great battery life.

    I wanted to get a pair of headphones before a 19hr plane ride. I own all Apple products and wanted the connectivity to be seamless. These paired easily between my phone and ipad. The noise cancellation on the plane was SUPERB. Better than all past headphones I owned. The audio sounded like I was in a movie theater when watching downloaded TV shows. The battery life was terrific as well. A bit heavy for travel but it was worth it.

    Bought them for my trip abroad and they were amazing. The noise cancellation was wondeful especially on the plane. The transparency mode is so good yet you can still hear the music really well. Feels like I'm not even weading headphones in this mode. The headphones are extremely comfortable.

    I love these headphones. The sound quality is great, good noise canceling, very comfy and connect seamlessly. They aren’t the best gym headphones though. They tend to slide off while working out but stay on perfectly for everyday use.

    As an enthusiast of high-quality audio experiences, I recently had the opportunity to immerse myself in the world of Apple's AirPods Max. These headphones are a testament to Apple's commitment to superior sound quality, design excellence, and user-friendly features. Firstly, the sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. The AirPods Max deliver a rich, balanced audio experience, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The Active Noise Cancellation feature is a game-changer, effectively blocking external noise, allowing me to fully engage with my music or podcasts. The Transparency mode is equally impressive, seamlessly blending ambient sounds, which is particularly useful in outdoor or public settings. The design and build quality of the AirPods Max are exemplary. The headphones boast a sleek, modern look with a robust build that speaks to their premium nature. The use of high-quality materials like aluminum and stainless steel, combined with the soft, breathable mesh of the headband, ensures both durability and comfort. Even during extended use, I found them to be exceptionally comfortable, thanks to the memory foam ear cushions.

    Buy them if you have the money (and an iPhone)

    If you can afford it and are already apart of the apple ecosystem then I can recommend these. I was worried about the battery after people said you cant turn them off. But you can wear them from when you wake up to when you go to bed. Just charge them at night and they are ready for another 1-3 days. I use a fast charger so charging for like 5 minutes is more than enough to do something like go to the gym or a 2hr walk or something. No having an on/off button has oddly made them simpler and i personally like it. You just throw them on and they are already on and connected. The transparency mode makes it very easy to just leave the headphones on all the time because you can still hear very clearly outside the headphones. Then when you want to block everything out just 1 button does so. I can sit in the cafeteria at work and not hear anything around me while I listen to music. Also Id say have a big head and don't even use the biggest setting with these. I did have to buy a cheap case from Amazon though because I would never put them in my backpack with just the bra case. I only use that when I charge them. Just make sure when buying a case you get one that has the magnets between the ear cups. That is how the headphones get put into low power mode. Tldr: If you have the money and an iPhone, then you’ll appreciate these. Don't worry about the lack of a power button or the weight. And you'll need to buy a new case that has the ability to hibernate them.

    Very comfortable and stylish headphones set. Battery lasts for quite some time so you don’t have to worry about that too much. The biggest difference with AirPods is noise cancellation that works so much better and you can’t hear anything if it’s on. Overall, very excited about purchasing.

    The AirPods Max are a remarkable pair of over-ear headphones that offer a premium audio experience. The first thing that stands out about these headphones is their sleek and stylish design, which features a breathable knit-mesh canopy, stainless steel headband, and ear cups made from soft, acoustically optimized memory foam. But it's not just the design that sets the AirPods Max apart. The audio quality is truly exceptional, delivering a wide soundstage with crisp highs, rich mids, and deep bass. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is also top-notch, effectively blocking out external noise and letting you immerse yourself in your music or podcast. Another impressive feature of the AirPods Max is their battery life, which can last up to 20 hours on a single charge. And when you need to recharge, the included Lightning to USB-C cable makes it easy to power up quickly. The AirPods Max also come with a range of convenient features, such as automatic pause and play when you take off or put on the headphones, Siri integration, and seamless switching between your Apple devices. Overall, the AirPods Max are a superb choice for anyone who wants a premium audio experience and appreciates the convenience and style of the Apple ecosystem. They may be pricey, but the quality and performance of these headphones are truly outstanding.

    Great purchase especially if you own any other Apple product. It connects without much effort after setting it up with one of your Apple devices. I use the Max for indoor use and my Apple Pros for outdoor activities. The only time I use the Max outside the house is when I board an airplane for its noise canceling features. The transparency feature is out of this world. The design makes it feel like you're not wearing the Max and with transparency it doesn't even feel like you even have them on at all.

    Superb Acoustic, Seamless Connect,minor Trade-offs

    I recently got my hands on the Apple AirPods Max, and I must say, the acoustic quality and seamless connectivity with the Apple ecosystem have left a lasting impression. Let's start with the positive aspects. The sound experience delivered by the AirPods Max is simply exceptional. The audio quality is rich, immersive, and well-balanced across different frequencies. Whether I'm listening to my favorite music tracks, watching movies, or engaging in phone calls, the clarity and depth of sound never fail to impress. The Active Noise Cancellation feature works wonders in blocking out unwanted background noise, creating a truly immersive audio environment. The seamless connectivity with the Apple ecosystem is where the AirPods Max truly shines. The effortless pairing process and automatic device switching make it incredibly convenient to use with my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Switching between devices is seamless, allowing me to enjoy my content uninterrupted across different Apple devices. The integration with Siri adds another level of convenience, enabling hands-free control and assistance. However, there are some trade-offs that need to be considered. While the AirPods Max exudes a premium build quality, the ergonomics may not be everyone's cup of tea. The weight of the headphones can feel noticeable, particularly during extended listening sessions. This may lead to some discomfort, especially for those accustomed to lighter headphones. Additionally, the fit might not be ideal for everyone, as the clamping force may be a bit too tight for some users. Another aspect that falls short of expectations is the battery life. Although the AirPods Max can last for a decent amount of time, it doesn't quite match up to the longevity offered by some competing headphones in the market. Depending on usage, frequent charging may be necessary to ensure uninterrupted listening. In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max delivers outstanding acoustic quality and seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem. The sound experience is remarkable, and the connectivity is flawless, making it a fantastic choice for Apple enthusiasts. However, the ergonomics, weight, and battery life may be a concern for some users. If you prioritize top-notch audio performance and effortless connectivity, and don't mind the trade-offs in ergonomics and battery life, the AirPods Max is worth considering.

    I absolutely love my AirPods Max! The sound quality is amazing and really emphasizes the bass of all the songs I listen to which is great! The noise cancellation is perfect and blocks out background noise so I can fully focus on listening to my music or podcasts. I love to wear them while taking walks, going to the gym, and even cleaning round the house. They’re super comfortable and look great too. Overall, they’re definitely worth the investment for anyone who is looking into them!! ps: to help with them staying on my head and not slipping, I ordered a silicone case cover which has helped lots!

    Excellent cans and worth their price

    I finally decided to splurge on these for a recent 1.5 month trip to Saudi involving a lot of flights, drives, and hotel time. I already have the AirPods Pro but I wanted to try something different for a while. These Max are incredibly well made and the sounds is great. They've got great audio quality - very detailed in the mids, good low end and appropriate highs for a crisp but not ear-bleeding sound. The 3D sound stage is particularly outstanding. Would I term these "audiophile"... not really. For that, I'll stick with my Shure SE8846 but that isn't why I bought the Max. These do things my Shures can't. I really like, and use frequently, the transparency mode. It's great for the office environment, or on phone calls to keep me from shouting like a madman. Are they comfortable? Absolutely! I wear glasses and at first I was concerned that might cause some head pain or sound leakage. Zero pain and no sound leak. On a string of flights, I wore them for about 20 hours without any discomfort, which is more than can be said for any other cans I've had (PSB, V-Moda, Sony, etc). On a whole, these are really the best all around headphones for the modern traveller. Money well spent!

    Comfortable to wear for hours. Seamless connectivity. Noise cancelling is elite. Sound quality is really good as well. Communicating is second to none. The clarity of the microphone is exceptional. Only issue with these they are hot to wear... in the summer you will sweat. Sweat gets into the fabric and it requires cleaning constantly.

    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!

    Best headphones from Apple

    I'm not paid by Apple nor Best Buy just to be up front. Also I'm not a fan of tech nor Apple but these Apple AirPods Max really surprised me and impressed me big time. The sound quality is amazing! For those looking to get that clear crisp bass without losing other sound quality, these are for you. I have seen lots of people complain about the weight, I actually am happy with the weight of these. They sit on your head just fine and they don't fall off of your ears/head as you bend over or are looking down or doing tasks. The weight and tightness of that makes them so that they don't fall off of your head. Definitely worth the money. I did have to wait a while because Apple and BestBuy kept running out of stock of the lightning silver ones. I definitely recommend these and there are little tweaks you can do to enhance the audio and bass quality that you can't do with other headphones. The only drawback that I can say with these, is these are NOT good for working out because of the sweat getting into layers of the headphones. But other than that these are absolutely amazing! Truly!

    These heaphones fit great, sound great, and setup is incredibly easy. The transfer of pairing from iPhone to iPad to MacBook is very smooth and easy to change manually if needed. It’s also nice that these can pair with my AppleTV if I need to be on the quieter side. I wish the case had a little more protection and that the headphones had Apple’s Conversational Awareness feature but overall these are a great bang for the buck, even coming from less expensive but still excellent quality headphones like the Sony MX series. These definitely have that native Apple OS feel to them.
