    Best All-rounder headphones !

    I have owned AirPods Max since release and absolutely, in comparison to headphones I owned, Sony XM5, Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Sennheisers, ... these are and have been my absolute favorites. One key advantage is Apple ecosystem. If you are in it, AirPods line up work like hot knife on butter. The build quality is absolute premium. The dial and the button on the headphones are so good in comparison to 'touch' sensitive ones on other brands. Just feels 'Pro'. The sound quality is absolutely the best of the best. I personally also love the fact that there are no on-off switches etc. The headphones take care of going into deep sleep automatically OR when you put them in a case with magnets, immediately. Less buttons, less complexity, super reliable and clean finish with great colors. The ear pads are replaceable as they are magnetic. You could mix and match colors - they are awesome. I traded in my older AirPods Max (2+ years) and got these. I am fully committed to this and absolutely love them! Note: I use mono-carbon carbon fiber cover for the ear cups to protect them from scratches. I did purchase some extra ear cushions in different colors to mix and match Some Downsides for anyone looking to purchase- 1. You need to really baby the head strap. The mesh gets all crumpled up over a year if you carry them directly in bag packs etc. There are no replacements available either. The firm mesh that you get when you purchase it new, becomes saggy and lose over time if you do not take extra care. 2. Some users have reported condensation inside the ear pads. I have personally not experienced it even once over the two years of use. 3. The battery time is 20 hours. I know some other brands offer 30+ hours. But for me it is sufficient 4. No H2 chip "yet" or lossless audio. I am sure it will get refreshed in 2025. 5. uses lightening connector for charging. Not an issue for me and usb-c to me doesn't add anything more than a standard cable across all devices. I anyways have to carry more than one USB-C cables when traveling. One Important note - "Be EXTRA Careful NOT to buy them on Facebook market place and other places as there are lot of Fakes floating around!". Do not judge these headphones by buying fakes. Too many cases on reddit if you see. Buy them from Auth retailers only. You try to save 200$... you will end up losing 300$ if you get a fake pair.

    1ST TIME APPLE HEADPHONE PURCHASE

    I've only had Dre Beats throughout my life. In addition to airpod purchases, I had high hopes when I bought these AirPod Max headphones for $500. At first, I really thought $500 for headphones was on the pricey side but now I understand why! The noise cancel and bass on these headphones is next level. My purchase was well worth the money. Apple never misses!

    The Apple AirPods Max Gray are a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality pair of headphones. They offer excellent sound quality, a comfortable fit, and a sleek design. The noise cancellation feature is also great for blocking out background noise. The battery life is also impressive, lasting up to 20 hours on a single charge. Overall, the AirPods Max Gray are a great choice for anyone looking for a premium pair of headphones.

    Bought these Airpod Max for my boyfriend for our vacation and he absolutely loves them! The 3 noise cancelling settings are incredible and the bass is unbelievable!! The earphones are big enough to fit over his piercings without crushing them, and the head strap is so soft and light that you don't know it's there while listening to them or wearing them around your neck.

    I’m impressed by the amazing sound quality in these over the ear headphones, almost better than in-ear-monitors! Soundstage is immersive, low end is solid and highs are not harsh or uncomfortable even at higher volumes. Apple knocked it out of the park with this product…absolutely amazing quality. They look amazing, high quality craftsmanship and the feeling is comfortable even at longer listening intervals.

    These headphones put any others to shame! The noise cancellation/sound quality can’t be beat! Comfort is amazing also. The price of course is up there but what do you expect from an exceptional Apple product?! You pay for what you get and it doesn’t get any better than this! Connecting and charging is as simple as it comes but it’s the quality that separates it from the rest!

    PROS - More comfortable than any other headphones I've tried. - Sounds is great, but not more than the Bose equivalent. CONS - You can't turn them of. They're supposed to turn off automatically after not being used for some time, but they don't. Their battery drains as does my iPad's better, probably because they keep connecting. - quite heavy - don't fold

    I use these headphones every single day for work and for pleasure and they work without a hitch. No connection issues, great sounding auido and very comfortable for long periods of time. While i do agree the product is incredible im not sure the price allows everyone to see how great these headphones really are

    Great headphones. The quality is honestly spectacular. My only problem would be their weight, but for what the materials are it comes with it. They feel extremely premium so its something im willing to sacrifice.

    Honestly thought I would return these shortly after I purchased because the price is so high but if I'm being honest...even though I wish it was a little cheaper, the ease of use, sound quality, and battery life make this such a great buy for me especially owning as many apple products as I do. If you're questioning whether or not these headphones are worth $600, I'm here to tell you (as a rather frugal spender) they are for someone who's fully committed to the apple ecosystem. They work as a great pair of listening headphones, and also talking on the phone when my airpod pros inevitably die.

    Love these. The AirPod Pros always fell out of my ear and people on the other line said I sounded far away. I’m a truck driver and didn’t want the typical driver headset and with the Max I come in clear and the noise cancellation works better imo. I drive with them on transparency and they even help filter out a lot of the road noise. Battery seems to last forever. Worth every penny.

    Best headphones in the world. Sound quality is second to none. Design is timeless and goes with any outfit. Wanna go to the gym? Don't worry about sweat, you can pop off and was the ear muffs. Well done Apple. Service was top tier. Knew what I wanted, walked in; walked out within 10 mins.

    The Apple iPhone Pro Max is a powerhouse for both productivity and gaming. Its seamless connectivity with Apple and non-Apple devices makes transferring files, syncing accessories, and staying connected incredibly smooth. The performance is top-tier, handling multitasking and high-performance games effortlessly. While the price may feel steep, the speed, display quality, and overall experience make it a worthwhile investment.
