Customer Ratings & Reviews

Noisy cancellation works well. A little weird at the beginning when I heard my own voice on calls. The build is solid but heavy. Long battery life.

Best headphones I have ever used. Excellent sound quality, materials, and comfort. Only thing bad is that the material for the earpiece doesn’t remove and is hard to keep clean.

Love the look and the feel. Very very comfortable and much better than the old in ear version.

It's not a bad product has great sounding, noise cancellation etc but for me personally it wasn't good. It slips off when working out or do basketball shootaround, since its heavy after a few hours of wearing it get annoying.

It's an apple product. build quality is great. comfort great. ease of use great. Very expensive for what it is.. you can find other in this realm for cheaper.

I also have the SONY XM4 but after reading all the good review of these I decided to bite the bullet and give these a try. $600 is not a small amount to swallow for a pair of headphones. I'm not an audiophile, but definitely someone who appreciates good sounding music. After receiving these, I immediately compared them with the XM4 back and forth with the same songs from Apple Music. Here is what I found: (1) the sound: the AirPods Max definitely sound better, but not by a whole lot. They have slightly better instrument separation. The highs are more crisp (I thought the XM4 was already very good in this regard but the AirPods Max are just even better). XM4's bass is a bit deeper but the AirPods Max's is still good and I'd say even a bit less muddy than the SONY's. I guess each to their own. Overall, every time I put on the AirPods Max for the same song, the song alway sounds just a slightly clearer and more pleasant for my taste. (2) the comfort: Sony wins this one hands down. Although I didn't feel much about the extra weight, there's definitely that clamping feeling on my head with the AirPods Max. Every time when I switched back to the XM4, my head immediately felt relieved. However, I also found that I was able to get used to the AirPods Max and wore them for hours without issues. (3) the Transparency mode: Apple definitely wins this one, and, to my surprise, this has become the main reason I'm keeping these. The Max's transparency mode is just so much better than the XM4's. I found myself sounding a lot more natural and even have a bit heightened sense of hearing with the Max's transparency mode on. The Sony's sounds just too robotic to me. I also like the simplicity of activating this feature by just a push of a button on the Max. (4) the Hand-off feature: I have an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac Mini. The airpods just switch between them effortlessly. However, I also have these connected to my work Windows 10 PC. The auto handoff feature will stop working if they’re still connected to the PC. Just keep this in mind. (5) Build quality. Apple wins this one for sure. Overall, I’d say that the sound of these is about $50-100 better than the XM4's. Considering the added features, much better build quality and the leather carrying case (which I hate btw), I was actually surprised that the $550 asking price actually seems to be reasonable to me now since the SONY’s MSRP is $350. Sure, it sucks these headphones don’t have an on-off button and won’t turn themselves off until you put them in the ugly case. But, on the other hand, they easily last about 3 days of use in my case. I think if I can charge my phone every day then I can certainly charge these once every 3 days. To be honest, I was going to return them after first wearing them and feeling the clamping effect on the first day. But after a couple of more days of extensive use, I’ve decided to keep them around because I think they're worth it.

Love these so much. Comfortable and sound great. Band across the head is perfect and doesnt hurt like some over the ear hadphones do. Great purchase all around.

Sound Quality & Fit are amazing. The Lightweight Headphones are perfect for traveling, Zoom Meetings while working remotely & perfect to shut out the world with your favorite tunes at the end of the day. Absolutely worth the purchase

The sound quality is really good. My favorite part is the noise cancellation and the headphones are overall really comfortable I love the mesh top and how it keeps my head from hurting with extended use

these are fantastic, the have a great sound and are very comfortable.

Amazing sound quality! Long battery life and noise cancellation is crazy good!

Great headphones,love the noise canceling and I don’t have to constant fix them on my head

There nice I wear them to work everyday I work in a factory where your not allowed to wear headphones but because of there presentation nobody knows there headphones they just assume there earmuffs there very nice and very well built and due to the Apple chip they automatically connect to my iPhone… but with all the good there is one bad thing I’ve experienced with these headphone’s I’ve had to reset them more then one time due to them not changing the steps to reset them is very simplistic and easy even for folks not very good with some other electronics such as cellphones and computers and just other things of that nature but they are one of the best purchases I’ve made this past year though for the price it’s pretty step for some folks I find they’re priced properly for the quality of the product

I had been looking at these for a while and decided to make the plunge. The noise canceling is top notch. I knew the APP2 was great with noise canceling but they are in ear. These over the ear were so much better than anything I have tried. They blocked out a ton of outside noise. When I need it, transparency mode is the best I’ve use too. The sound is phenomenal too. Clean sound with punchy bass. I don’t use an EQ with them either. The round dial pauses and plays music, as well as answers calls. The only negative is the case, if you want to call it that. But that is a small blip on the radar for such a great set of headphones. Yes they are pricey but a great purchase in my opinion.

Amazing sound and quality. Loved these over the competition- especially for traveling

Amazing sound, either for music or phone call conversation. Noise cabcellation works very nice, only downside its just a little bit heavy, when having it for more than an hour, its starts to bother a little bit. Overall, love the product! Highly recommended

i like it very nice and comfortable and stylish and don’t get me started on the noise cancellation

Sound quality is excellent. Crisp and clean audio not heavy on bass, they spatial audio while watching movies and shows is magnificent. Build quality is awesome very high end materials. Charging is quick and battery life is very good. Case should be better but there are several affordable 3rd party cases available.

These ANC headphones are expensive, but they back it up with excellent sound quality (coming from B&Os H4s and H9i) and these cans beat both from B&Os in terms of clarity, sound stage and bass. This is a must have if you're particular about audio and part of the Apple ecosystem. I still recommend traditional wired cans if you're a professional audio/sound mixer.

I really liked the AirPod Pro maxes, but it did have some minor setbacks such as you can’t turn them off unless you put them in the case it’s not sweat or water resistant Also, they are pretty heavy so if you wear them for a long period of time, your head will probably hurt. Some nice things about the headphones though is that you can change the earcup for like $70 if you want to change the color of them or if they get dirty, it is very good quality of material so they’re pretty durable. It has quick connections between like your phone, your iPad and your computer for more efficient usage. Overall, I’d say it’s a good purchase but they are a little expensive but if you want quality, I would definitely get them or wait for the next generation coming. I think September.
