Customer Ratings & Reviews

They’re really cute and built really well. I think they are pretty comfortable too if you’re going to take the train or bus. They can get uncomfortable if it’s something more active, like working out. They can also feel a bit heavy. The pads are soft, but they can get uncomfortable if they are on for too long. Overall good, I just don’t think they are the best.

They feel soft and the sound is just perfect because you change it to different ways even to the point where you can put noise cancelation from any noise so your music will sound even better without any interruptions. Not to mention another thing I really loved was that I’m able to removed and replace the ear pads .

great looking item. easy to connect but a bit heavy

The color, the build, the quality, the sound... everything about these headphones is amazing! When you turn the volume up the bass and other acoustics do not decline, like other headphones, which is a huge thing for me. The battery life is also decent. However, my only critique is I wish they had some type of water resistance so I could use them at the gym. But that is not a deal breaker for me. Highly recommended, especially if you can get them on sale.

Do not purchase these in the silver/white colorway. Unless you religiously clean them (which is a hassle) they will grow dingy with time. I've never had a problem throwing the ear cups in the wash, and carefully scrubbing the headband with detergent and water, but they will not stay proper white forever and you'll wish you bought Space Grey. If you're worried about the charging case thing, don't. I bought these and immediately threw it away. Reviews when I first bought the Max made it sound like this was some integral part of the headphones - it's not. I've never put them in that case once. I have had no issues with battery life just letting them be outside of the case. They don't take long to charge, and in the rare event they should get to critically low battery just set them to charge somewhere for an hour and they'll be back to nearly full power. The sound is great - incredibly clear, and enjoyable. Because they're wireless there's a cap on how good the audio quality you'll get from these is, but as far as wireless, convenient set-ups go it's really great. Apple made a big fuss about how easy they are to switch between Apple products but it's not quite as simple as you'd expect. They work great with the iPhone - pair them to the phone and they'll usually switch right over but: Your Macbook/iMac products will detect when the Airpods Max are close by, and tell you "nearby" but will require you to click to switch them over. This doesn't always happen on the first try and can require some finagling to get them to actually connect which can be a minor inconvenience that gets more frustrating over time. Additionally they tend to want to switch back to the iPhone, so if you're listening to audio from your Apple computer but accidentally trigger some sound on your iPhone you will lose connection and have to reconnect. I recognize these are distinctly first world, not-enough-to-complain about problems. The noise cancelling is actually shocking at first. Blocks out almost all the noise you could hope for and maybe a little more. Works great as a headset for phone calls and Zoom meetings but the aesthetic takes some getting used to - it's like having two aluminum bars of soap on either side of your head. Microphone quality is fine - pretty clear but you wouldn't record a podcast on it. That said, there is also a passthrough mode that uses microphones to essentially pipe in the outside audio as a means to let you hear what's going on around you, and participate, while keeping the headphones on. This is sort of handy, but most people will not engage with you because you have headphones on, and because these things are big it sends a pretty clear social message that you cannot hear, so the in real life usefulness of the passthrough for conversation is suspect at best. Sure, you can explain that "oh yes, I can hear you there's actually a setting..." but at that point just take the things off. The "head detection" is nifty. The inside of the cups have little detectors that can tell when your ear is inside and will turn the headphones on/off and pause your media as a result. This is tricky if you're trying to use them with only one ear to remain present in a room you're in as it will occasionally cut off audio because it thinks you're not listening. Prior to these I was using the Bose QC35ii headphones. These were an improvement on audio, and build quality. These are very expensive headphones. They feel expensive, but are they *really* worth $600 after tax? No, not really. Overall the audio/build quality doesn't justify the $300 price jump from similar models. If you like Apple, you'll like these, but next time I'll probably opt for a pair of headphones focused exclusively on audio quality.

Oldie but goodie. Comfortable to wear and stylish headphones that has been trending for fashion wear. It’s biggest feature is the noise canceling slightly better than my Sony XM5. But my overall preferred headphones to wear all day including working out are my Sony

Love, love, love! I was skeptical about getting these headphones but I wish that I had gotten them sooner! I have sensitive ears and these did not bother them at all! I had the Sony - WH1000XM5 and they were a tad uncomfortable. I use this for the gym and travel, it fits snug and the sound is great!

I love the color! It’s more reddish than pink and it’s perfect! The sound/noise cancellation is fire!! The weight is very nice and they stay put on your head for the most part!

I don't know what I would do without these, Apple AirPod max headphones connected by Bluetooth. Every night I can watch TV while my wife sleeps. They are super high-quality and very comfortable. They are a must buy for a comfortable lifestyle and a happy wife.

The AirPods Max are outstanding—comfort, sound quality, and noise cancellation are all top-notch. The audio is crisp and immersive, and the spatial sound feature makes movies and music feel incredible. They’re also surprisingly comfortable for long listening sessions. Definitely worth the investment if you want premium headphones.

I absolutely love these headphones. So comfortable and versatile. I love the spacial audio and the transparency mode. These are much sturdier and more comfortable than the many different pairs of beats I had. My beats the leather continuously flaked on the ear pieces and the mesh on these won’t flake and I believe will last! Highly recommended!

Excellent quality. Very comfortable and not cumbersome. Favorite feature is the battery life. One charge will last me at 3 days for my uses.

The AirPods Max are great in many ways. Supreme connectivity to all Apple Devices; arguably the best noise canceling on any headphones; contains the best transparency mode on any headphones. But there is one major negative that was a huge downfall for me personally. The headphones structure doesn’t fit my head. I do wear glasses and that is part of the issue I had; however, even without glasses, I found the comfort to be lackluster. The top headband is like a mix between traditional headbands and new ski mask headbands offered by companies like Corsair and SteelSeries. This headband blend doesn’t work for me. In addition, the super soft and almost goofy ear cushions lack any form of “suction” and make it nearly impossible to stay on my face. If you’re charging almost $600 for headphones, they need to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT in every way. The AirPods Max are not. Overall, I was extremely disappointed and ended up returning them.

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.

"The AirPods Max from Apple are pretty cool. They look slick, feel comfy, and the sound is amazing. The noise cancellation is a game-changer – it's like you're in your own world. Yeah, they're a bit pricey, but if you love music and are into Apple stuff, they're definitely worth checking out."

Our daughter loved them!! She said they sound great and are comfortable while working and lounging around. Plus they were very easy to connect to her phone.

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A QUALITY HEADPHONE..... LOOK NO MORE. THIS IS IT. ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFT. NOISE CANCELING WITH ONE CLICK OF A BUTTON. YOU CAN LISTEN TO YOUR FAVORITE TUNES. WHEN YOU PUT THE HEADPHONES ON, THEY FIT PERFECTLY. CASE IS NICE AS WELL. BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING

Bought these for my husband’s birthday and they look and sound great! They’re noise canceling, the battery lasts a long time, and they’re very easy to connect to your iPhone. Since the space gray aren’t available in Best Buy stores near me, I had to order them online. They came well packaged and shipped quickly.

The soubd quality and noise cancellation on these headphones was amazing. They are super comfortable to wear and with the long lasting battery life they work great for long flights. The only downside was you cant use them for really any physical acitivty as they fall off quite easily

Excellent!!! The most comfortable over the ear headphones I’ve ever used. You actually forget you’re wearing them. These are great if you wear earrings. They are so clear and crisp, best purchase I’ve ever made. The connect so easily, just open them up and you are good to go.
