Customer Ratings & Reviews

I debating buying these for about a year before actually purchasing them and let me tell you… I am beyond happy with them. As far as battery life and connectivity they are absolutely flawless. The audio quality is just absolutely out of this world! Exactly what i had expected if not better! The unboxing bit of it of course feels like any other apple product and it felt rather luxurious unwrapping such gorgeous headphones. Now for my FAVORITE part, the options for noise cancellation and transparency modes are insane! Theres an option that almost makes my hearing better, it amplifies the audio outside of the headphones and can be really helpful when youd like to listen to music but still have to interact with others. I also really enjoy this feature for the feeling of safety in public with them! One of the things that originally deterred me from buying them was a review i saw where they commented on the weight. The weight is not too heavy, but you can tell theyre durable. I think these are perfect for anyone between the range of everyday commuter to people that need accommodations while in public. I could not recommend these enough. If i could spend the rest of my life with one piece of tech, itd be these.

I was given some AirPods (wireless) as a gift. I use them, but I’m not a big fan of earbuds. I have a pair of Bose soundlink headphones. They sound pretty good but wanted a pair of noise cancelling headphones. I tried the Sony Xm4s in the store and I didn’t care for them. I feel their base is overkill. Didn’t like the bose 700 either. To be honest I’m know audiophile, but I felt the sound of my apple AirPods wasn’t bad. I had made a comment to my wife before the apple air pod max were released that I wished apple made some over the ear headphones. They did!! I’m very deep in the Apple ecosystem. Apple Music, MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone 12 Pro Max etc. I know their products are pricey but they last. I love the sound and the build quality of my air pod max headphones. It makes my Bose soundlink headphones sound cheap. Spatial audio is awesome!!! Really no words to describe it. I know these are pricey, but I just love the vintage style and build quality of these headphones. It reminds me of my cameras. I have a Nikon D3 and Nikon D750. The bullied quality of my D3 makes my 750 feel like a toy. Build quality is important to me. I don’t know if I would recommend these for someone that is not invested in Apple. If you are, in my opinion these are worth it. You pay for quality.

Love this headphones and delivery service was fantastic it arrived on time!Also purchased my MacBook from here love it ! No damage to any electronic.

These are excellent but worth > $500? Not really enough of a benefit and my Bose and Beats over the ear headphones have similar quality.

Absolutely beautiful color Fantastic sound Would buy it again

Love these headphones. Amazing noise cancellation, awesome comfort and amazing sound. Apple does not disappoint with any of their products. These are the best of the best. Purchased the “old” model due to a decent price savings from the “new” edition. There are literally no performance difference or anything between the two. Only difference is usbc charging on the “new”, vs lightning cable on the “old”. Save yourself some money and get these!! Everyone who uses Apple has a lightning cable or five just laying around!

They are very good quality headphones and very durable. I’ve heard them for over a year and they work great and the battery life’s great. I recommend them

Excellent quality, price point was a stretch but the build quality is worth it

I have twin girls and had to purchase 2 pairs. I was hesitant spending $550 per headset but can tell you it was worth it. The sound is crisp and the noise cancellation is excellent. My girls love them and use them everyday … even for homework.

Love them, they are really comfortable and sound is great.

I know the better headphones you pay for, the better sound you get, but I truly didn’t realize how much I was missing. Using these to go back and listen to favorites to hear how full the production on songs truly is to noise canceling with the immersive Spatial Audio and watching movies is almost as good as being at a big theater. I can’t recommend them enough, they’re comfortable and will give exactly what you’re listening for.

Pickup was smooth and audio, battery life is great. A little heavy but great overall

These are fantastic headphones. I read and watched a lot of videos about these, before finally deciding to get them. People complain about stuff like the design of the case, lack of power down button, weight, battery life, price, etc. Personally, I think people who complain about these just want to complain. These are beautifully designed headsets with superb audio quality. Battery life is beyond good. I haven’t even noticed any battery drainage due to absence of power down button. Connectivity and integration with other Apple products it’s pure magic and seamless. In summary, these are unapologetically Apple! They have the design, quality, and sure the price tag! Combine these with Best Buy’s great deal during the holidays (initially $479 and then down to $449 thanks to Best Buy’s price adjustment) and these were a no brainer for me. If you can get them on sale for $449, then it’s a fantastic purchase. Even at $479, they’re still a great buy consider they’re $549 almost ever where else!

The product has lived up to its reputation and the sound quality is amazing

Very comfortable headphones & great sound!!!!!!!!!

noise cancellation is amazing on these headphones. theyre very stylish and fashionable

The Apple AirPod Max over the ear headphones, are a solid, well sounding, comfortable option for anyone who enjoys listening to high quality audio. From the moment you pull the headphones out of the box, you can already gain a sense of the solid materials used for construction. The headphones feel durable, yet still light. The offerings of quality only expand once you turn them on. Out of the box, onto your head, you are given an easy set up. Immediately recognizing your iPhone (if you have one) and asks to connect via Bluetooth. The set up is so easy, a grandparent could figure it out with ease. Upon starting my first audio file, I notice the sound quality. The highs are crisp, and the lows are solid. I do wish the low end was a bit more, but I’ve experienced other headphones where the bass drowns out the kids and highs, so it does have a healthy balance. Last thing I’ll mention, the noise cancellation is top tier. I’ve yet to hear another headset with such strong noise cancellation. Overall I recommend these if you are willing to spend the money. They look great, sound better, and you feel better than those around you whilst wearing them.

I bought these due to some international travel. I tend to use my AirPods Pro 1st gen, but on long trips with an in-seat screen, the Pros become a bit uncomfortable, need recharging, and I can't use with the in-seat entertainment without a bluetooth adapter. Enter AirPods max where I can get trip-length battery, comfort, and the ability to wire in to a headphone jack and maintain the active noise cancelling (reason I chose these over the newer USB-C option). This are not yet my everyday choice, but I use them walking around the house, for work, and 10000% for travel.

Really comfortable and nice for the gym with noise cancellation

For Apple's first attempt at over-ear headphones, these are a pretty good set of headphones. I want them to be great headphones, especially being in the Apple ecosystem. I do like them, but they need to figure out the battery issue. Noise-canceling is awesome. Transparency mode is awesome. I do wish there was some adjustable settings in-between those two but for now it is all or nothing. These things are heavy compared to most other headphones, but they are comfortable on the ears and the headband (goofy as it looks) is comfortable as well. The phone call quality is excellent. The audio quality is pretty good as well (not an audiophile, but sounded good to my ears). The build quality is nothing short of spectacular. Unfortunately, the battery issue is real. I cannot understand not having an on/off button, but I could accept that if the headphones properly conserved power, which they do not. When I don't put them in the case, they will lose 10-12% per night (about 14 hours from the time I stop work until I start again in the morning). When I put them in the horribly designed, handbag case it is even worse. I lose 20-30% per night in something that is supposed to conserve power immediately. For now, I have just taught myself that these are a device that needs to be charged every night, just like my iPhone and Apple Watch. It should not be like this. Either Apple needs to fix the power conservation mode or allow for one of the buttons to turn them on and off. Here's hoping to a software fix soon. Other than that one, major issue, these headphones are near the top-of-class in everything else. Unfortunately, for a lot of people the battery issue will be a non-starter. You will need to decide for yourself if that is the case based on your use and needs.
