Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this color and how sleek the look is. I have very sensitive hearing with causes me to have to go to the doctor a lot - these help me block out the noise without causing any damage to my hearing like other headphones might which is a huge plus!

Got this for my husband as a gift. He goes to the gym often and he doesnt have a single thing to complain about. They stay on his head great. They sound amazing. I wear glasses and when i tried them on, they didnt squish my glasses into my head.

I have the Bose 700 as well and it’s not even close. I will add the apple features are a huge bonus. Sound is crisp and detailed. Comfortable, good looking without screaming expensive. Perfect in the apple ecosystem. I will say, if you don’t use with Apple products, it’s probably not worth the extra over the Sony xm series or Bose 700. AirPods Max do sound better, but not $200 better without the added apple features.

Comfortable, great sound. Wish they were a little lighter but overall satisfied.

In the world of audio devices, Apple's green headphones have set a new standard for both style and performance. These headphones are not just a tech accessory but a fashion statement, thanks to their vibrant green color and sleek design. The hue is striking yet tastefully chosen, complementing a wide range of personal styles and preferences. But what truly sets these headphones apart is their unparalleled noise cancellation feature. It's not an overstatement to say that they deliver a 10/10 experience. Whether you're in a bustling cafe, navigating a noisy street, or just at home seeking solace from everyday sounds, these headphones create a sanctuary of sound. The active noise cancellation is so effective that it feels like stepping into a quiet room, even in the most chaotic environments. The sound quality is equally impressive. The audio is crisp, clear, and balanced

These headphones are worth the price! I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality and the overall build of the headphones. In my opinion they’re not as heavy as other reviewers said that they were and I found them to be very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I really like the fact that you can listen to them while they’re charging, major plus in my book. Prior to the AirPods Max I was using one of the Sony XM1000 models that doesn’t allow you to do so. These are definitely big headphones, so if you’re looking for something compact, these aren’t for you. Another cool feature is “Spatial Audio”. I cued up the final episode of “The Falcon and Winter Soldier” and was blown away! I was in the midst of the action! I’m not a person who has super high standards when it comes to cases for my headphones so I don’t mind the silly case Apple provides, nor do I care that they never truly turn off. The trade off you get is being able to charge your AirPods max for 5 minutes and get 1.5 hours of listening time. There are other gripes that I’ve seen reviewers have but I’m not going to die on any of those hills. These are a very nice pair of headphones and I’m glad I bought them.

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!

Great pair of headphones. I wouldn't pay the full $550 for it by any means, but if you come across these on sale or see it discounted more elsewhere, remember you can have Best Buy price match these headphones -- it's what I did. Perfect if you're in the apple ecosystem - switching between devices is even more seamless than with my AirPods Pro. Sound quality is excellent. Headphones are very comfortable. If they don't feel right on your head or too tight on first wear, don't forget to lengthen the band at the parts that attach to the cups. It may not seem like you can lengthen the headset, but you can. Noise cancellation is very, very good. The case it comes with is very, very stupid due to the fact it's required to put the headphones into in order for them to go into sleep mode and not drain battery faster. It's my only con for these headphones. Keep in mind, you can purchase accessories online that can put these headphones to sleep that are better than the dumb case they come with. Still, it would be nice if Apple provided a way to put these into sleep mode with the buttons.

Spent hours at a local Best Buy testing all the different headphones and this was the option by far. Fantastic noise cancelling, great sound quality, and the most comfort. Have had these for a little over a year and they still look and feel great. Only issue I've had has been with keeping the ear cushions clean since they are fabric, but that's a minor issue compared to what it provides.

I love my AirPods Max! They are comfortable to wear and so easy to connect to all my other Apple products. The noise cancelling makes the annoying droning on airplanes disappear, so I don’t feel quite so exhausted by the end of even a long flight.

They sounds wonderful! The noise cancellation properties are awesome! All you hear is sweet music. The transparency mode is good too in case you want to also hear the back ground around you while listening to your music. Fit comfortably on my head fit pain free wearing! Love this head phones!!!

All I can say is WOW!!! For a 1st generation, Apple pretty much hit this out of the park. If the price point was $400-$450, this would have easily gotten a 5 Star. There are a few cons that I want to point out on these. Price is the biggest con with these. I cannot justify paying $550 + Tax for a pair of headphones for a typical non audiophile user. As a normal consumer, $400 is pushing the upper limits for a pair of headphones, but because this is Apple, they priced these higher than normal because they can actually get away with it. The other cons are the case and not having a 3.5mm adapter if you want to plug it into an airplane or computer. First off, both of these are not deal breakers for me, it would have been nice for them to include a 3.5mm jack, but being that it's Apple, they will find any way they can to squeeze consumers for every last penny. The case does what it needs to for the most part. I am concerned that the mesh part of the head band is not protected at all since that's the most vulnerable part. But, this will lead 3rd parties to come up with a protective sleeve or cover for it. The AirPods Max are heavier than the competition due to the aluminum & stainless steel material used here. Apple did not cut corners when they designed this and I am glad because they do not look or feel cheap at all. Starting to see why they charged $550. They look classy in a throwback kind of way. The ear cups and head band don't protrude out and pretty much follows the curvature of your head. Despite it being heavier, the mesh band does a great job at spreading the weight out as to not develop any pain at the crown of my head. The clamping design on the ear cups will bear most of the weight. The ear cushions are nice and soft and I did not feel my ears getting hot or sticky like the leatherette ear cups on the competitions. Even though I didn't feel any pain on the crown after hours of usage, I did notice that my neck was a little sore. If that's the case, you can just lie down or lean your head back on to a pillow or something. As for the sound, these are the best sounding headphones I have owned. My go to prior to this was the B&W PX7's. I really like the sound on these because it was balanced and clean without too much bass to muddy up the sound. The Sony XM4's would be great if they were the only headphones on earth, but they are not and I am not too much of a fan of their sound signature. I feel they are a little too warm and bass heavy that muddies up the mid's and highs for me. They too also got hot after wearing for a while. The AirPods Max are well balanced with just the enough bass to give the song a little life. Although, I did wish there was a little bit more sub-bass for the rumble effect. But all in all, the sound on these are so clean and does not distort even at max level. The sound separation are so great that I am able to hear more instruments on these than any other headphones I've tried. If you have an iPhone, you can go in and change the settings around to boost the soft sounds. You can do this by going into Settings/Accessories/Audio/Visual/Headphone Accommodations. I have my set at Balanced Tone and Moderate. If you have the money to spend and in the Apple eco-system, these will be the best money spent for your ears. Just keep in mind that out of the box, they might not sound great, but after some burn in time, you will start to appreciate what Apple has done with these.

Absolutely love these AirPods! Always lose the small ones and got sick or replacing the little pods, decided I’d give these ones a shot and they are super comfortable and the sound cancelation and the transparent features are awesome

I love these headphones. So easy to connect. The sound quality is excellent, and they cancel out the outside noise. My only issue is that they were a little heavy, until I got used to them. Battery life could be better.

I have really enjoyed my airpods max love the sleek design and color. and the quality is excellent the noise cancellation works so well and i can hear the music so well in these. They a really comfortable to wear and don't hurt my ears.

Great product. I always love Apple and their seamless connectivity. They are a little heavy on the head but I don’t wear them on long flights or all day.

I was very skeptical about these headphones because of the price point. I originally started with the Beats Studio 3 and I had those for a few years but I felt like and upgrade could be fun. I love these headphones so much. The one difference I noticed between the AirPods and my beats was they even though they are both advertised as over the ear headphones but the AirPods are true over the ear head phones. They fit around my entire ear which makes them so comfortable especially if you have a few ear piercings. They are probably the most comfortable pair of headphone I have tried on, especially if you are wearing them for extended periods of time. My last thing I love is how seamlessly the headphones connect from my phone to my iPad and then to my Mac. That is probably one of my favorite things about these headphones that makes them better than the beats. Even thought I love these headphones I do have to say you don’t really NEED these. If you can afford them then of course I recommend them but you don’t need to break the bank for these.

There's a weight to it, but once you wear it, it is very comfortable, the sounds, noise cancellation, transparency mode is very good, built quality is the best headphone ever, but it has to be with this price, can't wait for AirPods Max 2nd Gen.

Very comfy fit, excellent sound and great noise isolation on flights. Battery life is incredible. Only used 40% on 3.5 hr flight. Creates the ability to isolate myself in my own world to work, think, or just plain rest, relax, and recuperate.

[Employee of bestbuy] I've owned my pair of Airpods Max from the day they came out and have been extremely pleased throughout my time owning them. Sound quality is better than any other wireless headphones I've tried and used including Sony XM5s and Bose's Quietcomforts. Because of the adaptive EQ feature, these headphones adjust the sound signature to suit whatever genre of music you listen to, making them the most versatile over ear headphones I've used. The noise cancelling is also amazing, cancelling out everything that I've thrown at it while not causing any discomfort or headaches with extended use. The transparency mode is unmatched; it literally sounds like I'm not using headphones when it's on and can have a complete conversation with people while listening to music. With that all being said, I used to wear my pair everyday for hours at a time, treating it more like an everyday accessory than a casual pair of headphones and as a result the fabric portion of the headband has deflated to the point that the steel bars of the headband has begun to press uncomfortably against my head when using it for longer than 30 minutes. The issue began about a year and a half after owning and using them religiously. I was able to have the headband replaced free of charge due to having Applecare+, however, the issue happened again after another year or so. Results may vary depending on how often you use them and how long you use them for at a time, but it is something to keep in mind should you decide to make these your daily driver headphones. Long term gripes aside, these are the best wireless headphones that I can recommend.
