Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love them! Great battery life and pair well with my phone. They’re also great when wearing them for workouts and for studying due to the noise cancellation

Got these for advanced noise cancelling and comfort for long flights and work calls. The product did not disappoint. Very sturdy build and seamless pairing and transfer/handoff to my other Apple devices. They provide FULL coverage for the entire ear, and are large enough to accommodate larger ear sizes which is key for having a good seal for noise cancellation and solid bass. Charging is reasonably fast and the battery life will definitely get you through a day of flying or conference calls with no need to be charged. I do recommend using the magnetic case when not in use because they can sometimes not go to sleep and drain overnight, so using that case is an important factor. The fit on my head is super comfy, yet very secure. Apple knew how to design soft and comfortable ear pads. I got the older model on an open box deal and love it regardless. If you don't mind lightning charging over USB-C, there is not much difference between the second generation and the first, so if you are on the fence, just get the older one for less money.

Very comfortable, connects well with many different devices! It's not the best sounding headphones, but they are pretty good. If you already own all Apple products, I recommend!

LOVE these so much. They are way better than my AirPod Pros. Sound and battery is great.

Comfortable and amazing sound! I can usually go a couple days without charging it. I mainly use it for the gym.

I absolutely loved these when I first got them. Everything was perfect, sound quality, material and all were top tier. Now not even a full 6 months later, I am starting to feel a little disappointed. The connection is going in and out and they just don't have the same feel that they did in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I still think these are some of the best quality headphones, I just think they need to fix the small issues. I will definitely be buying them again once they do!

The Apple AirPods Max truly represent the pinnacle of wireless headphone technology, providing a remarkable combination of exceptional sound quality, luxurious design, and superior comfort. As an avid audio enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of trying out these over-ear headphones, and they left a lasting impression. Sound Quality: The AirPods Max deliver a rich and immersive audio experience, boasting a wide soundstage and precise instrument separation. The custom-designed dynamic drivers and Apple's H1 chip work in tandem to produce deep, punchy bass, well-balanced midrange, and crystal-clear highs. From the booming beats of a bass-heavy track to the delicate nuances of classical music, the AirPods Max consistently deliver an impressive performance across various genres. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode: The ANC on the AirPods Max is remarkable, effectively silencing external noise and allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in their music. It performs admirably in bustling environments, making it perfect for use during commutes or travel. On the other hand, the Transparency Mode is a thoughtful addition, allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings without taking off the headphones. Design and Build Quality: Apple's attention to detail shines through in the AirPods Max's design. The headphones boast a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with an aluminum frame and a premium knit-mesh canopy headband. The memory foam ear cushions offer an exceptional level of comfort even during prolonged listening sessions. However, some users may find the headphones slightly on the heavier side, especially compared to other over-ear headphones on the market. Controls and Connectivity: The AirPods Max's intuitive touch controls on the earcups allow for effortless playback, volume adjustment, and call management. Additionally, seamless integration with Apple devices, thanks to the H1 chip, ensures a smooth pairing process and quick device switching. On the downside, non-Apple users may miss out on some of the advanced features exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. Battery Life: While the AirPods Max offer decent battery life for a pair of ANC-enabled headphones, it falls short compared to some competitors in this price range. With approximately 20 hours of playback on a single charge, users may find themselves needing to recharge more frequently, particularly during extended trips. Price: The most significant drawback of the AirPods Max is undoubtedly its premium price tag. Compared to other high-end headphones available, the AirPods Max come at a considerable cost, making them an investment that may not be suitable for all audiophiles. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max undoubtedly represents an impressive leap in headphone technology, delivering impeccable sound quality, top-tier comfort, and a luxurious design. If you're an Apple enthusiast willing to invest in an audio experience that complements your ecosystem, the AirPods Max are worth considering. However, for those seeking comparable performance at a more budget-friendly price, other options in the market might be a better fit.

The apple Airpod maxes are a great choice for headphones if you have the money to spend on it. The noise cancellation is phenomenal and i kid you not you cannot hear anything with it on. The transparency mode is also phenomenal. It quite literally sound like you have nothing on. Some negatives that it has is the fact that it’s a little heavier than the rest of the headphones out in the market. And the case is another downside. The headphones don’t fully turn off unless they are in the case. if you have $550 your willing to spend on headphones i say go ahead.

I’ve been holding out for a long time relying on Bose and Jabra headphones, and finally gave these a try out of curiosity. While the other devices produce excellent sound, having the Max with my Apple devices simply was tempting. The build quality is excellent and the mesh very comfortable. The funky “case” is a minimal cover that provides just as much protection, but also has magnets to wake the headphones up upon removal and back to sleep when replacing them. Beyond that, however, there is no storage (i.e., for charger) and you’ll likely need a real case anyway. The Max is slightly bigger and significantly heavier than my other headphones. For frequent travelers that may matter. It also relies on Apple devices for battery status etc., unlike the voice guidance in my Bose 700. So what good are the Max anyway. For one, noise reduction and pass thru functionality are the best of any devices. That’s especially impressive since the Bose 700 headphones are no slouch in that category. So far, none of the discussed items rely on the Apple ecosystem. That changes when looking at spatial audio. This is best explained with an AppleTV. Once paired, and assuming the AppleTV is near the tv, you’ll have audio that simulates fixed speakers of a surround system. Turn your head, and the audio remains aligned with the tv and not your head. Another clever feature is that the AppleTV automatically paused when taking off the headset and resumed when putting them back on. Battery life is good, but the info on my connected iPhone 14 pro seems to get confused at times, predicting between 10 hours amd 28 on a full charge. Sound quality wasn’t my main motivation in light of the excellent incumbents. There are mixed reviews attesting anywhere between excellent and okay sound quality. It think the biggest issue is that the headphones try to adjust to the wearer without an opportunity to manually tweak. However, when paired with an Apple device (so far my only connected devices), the subjective sound quality is easily on par with my Bose 700. Naturally, they’re differently tuned and some audio may be slightly better on the Max, while another benefits more from the characteristics of the Bose. A side note that’s actually fairly significant when traveling. while the Bose 700 can transfer noise/vibration to impact the listening experience, the Max do far less so. This is likely due to the plastic housing in the 700, while the Max sport a strong aluminum housing. If all that justifies the price tag of the Max is something of a personal preference. I was on the fence until I paired them with my AppleTV 4K (2022). The spatial audio, automatic pairing and other convenience features really justified the expense in hindsight. (It’s still a very expensive pleasure. Note that these headphones still use the lightning plug, and require such cable. There is no charger included, and currently I have to carry USB-C and lightning cables anyway.

Overall it’s a great headphone. A little heavy. The noise cancellation is awesome. Don’t like that I have to put it in Smart Case to “turn off”

Love the quality and nice comfortable fit on the ears. The noise cancellation in this headphones is the best I have heard in any other headphone.

I bought this as a birthday present for my friend, she is very happy with these AirPods, the sound of the music in them is very cool and comfortable, she is also very happy with them, I would buy the same ones for myself, but I had previously bought a different brand

High quality, very comfortable on the ears and head. Way better sound than those tiny ones that go in the ear canal and promote ear infections.

Got these for my 13yr daughter who has social difficulties and her ears are too small for normal pods... They are great, and I am thinking of getting a pair for myself. Great charge and sound!

Awesome Headphones! I enjoyed them so much, I purchased for my entire team. Had to get a pink pair for the lady! A little pricey, but what do you expect from apple???

Great noise cancellation and super comfortable…perfect travel accessory

These have been such a great purchase. So easy to connect, the sound is amazing, and they are very comfortable! 10/10!

I bought these for the noide cancelling feature and ended up loving all of the features. Granted they are a bit heavy and easy to scratch if not in the case but I still love them.

I literally can’t go to the gym without these! I love them they are so comfy and love how they have noise cancelation best purchase ever

Apple AirPods Max is good the sound quality, just a little heavy , you can hear the sound difference
