The Apple AirPods Max are a game-changer. Their noise cancellation is phenomenal, perfect for any environment. Plus, they're incredibly comfortable for long flights and workouts. The sound quality is amazing, with rich bass and clear highs. However, after a couple of hours of wear, the inside earpads can get sweaty, which can be uncomfortable. Another downside is the storage mechanism, which may not be as convenient for some users -- could end up damaging headphones. Despite these minor drawbacks, these headphones are versatile and stylish, making them worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Are people calling you a apple fan boy? Are you scared they aren’t good enough? Is the 500 buck price tag very spooky? If you answered yes to one of the questions above this review is for you!
Hi, I’m an average 9 to 5 consumer who likes apple as much as the next guy. I had a tax return to spend and a noggin full of ideas. I was on thin ice with the AirPods Max and it seemed like everyone else was too.
To get to the point these headphones are amazing if you get a chance to test them in store please do and you will understand what makes them so great. The noise canceling alone was enough to make me buy them. If you are concerned about the weight it’s really now bad at all. Unless your neck is made of like sand or something. Back to the point if you find these below $500 buy them up as quick as you can.

I have been meaning to grab these since they’ve come out but I was hesitant due to the price. Welp I caved this year and bought myself an early Xmas gift and it was def worth the wait. I am someone big on aesthetic so to say the least they are so cute and fashionable and give that sort of 70s-60s aesthetic that I love!!! Alright sound quality now …. Oufff off the charts the noise cancellation is scaryyy (in a good way) and I use it mostly when I am studying to tune everything out or if I’m eating and watching a show on my phone. The bass is great as well, and not like other headphones that literally vibrate for the bass IYKYK. The only downside is that I doesn’t have a case but the charging case that is not really protective, however I’ve placed them in the charging case in my book bag several times and there are no scratches or scuffs on them . Also you can buy a protective case from Amazon or Temu for the low low. Last but not least I love the fact the ear covers are magnetic/ detachable which is great when cleaning them. Just get them!!!

Although the pink headphones were out of stock, my girlfriend really enjoys these headphones & being able to customize them with various cases. They are a little heavy, but the noise cancellation feature is incredible when you need to focus. The battery life is fairly long for an Apple device, and the sound quality cannot be beat.

Excellent noise cancellation, transparency mode almost has me forgetting I have the headphones on, very stylish and unique not to mention very comfortable. The battery life is also excellent I use them all day without worrying about charging them.

As with any Apple accessory, you will pay a lot of money (that might probably be the one negative I can come up with, but thankfully, I was able to avail myself of Best Buy’s awesome promotional financing!!) but for an item that is generally well made with high performance. I happen to love Apple products so I purchased the AirPods Max as a Christmas gift to myself. They have so far lived up to my expectations. The high fidelity audio is no lie, and I love the ability to either completely block out ambient sound around me (all that pesky outside noise!), or allow for transparency so that I can be aware of what’s going on around me (as when my grandchildren are with me). They are comfortable (I had no need to adjust the arms and the ear cushions were as Apple states, “pillow-like”) and fit well over my ears, and sound can be adjusted via the digital crown or whatever device you are connected to. Overall, a great purchase. And as always, Best Buy delivers quickly and makes sure your item arrives safely.

Will summarize a comparison between the Sony XM5’s towards the end of this review. The Airpods Max are very comfortable for long periods of time. The audio quality is great and crystal clear. It has good bass but not great. The noise canceling does a good job at atopping unwanted noises from interrupting your listening experience. All around, it is a beat of a product. You cannot go wrong with it. I own the XM5’s and comparing the two, the aipods max are more comfortable but the Sony XM5’s provide a deeper and louder bass. The sony XM5’s provide SLIGHTLY better noise canceling and should not be the overall deciding factor between the two. As far as sound quality, the airpods max takes the cake. You hear very crystal clear notes and voices with the airpods max and you can tell by listening that they are expensive headphones. The XM5 sound quality is great as well but the airpods max sound quality is just that much more better. Build wise, the airpods max are built to last because of its hard outer shell. The airpods max dont have that hard enclosure but thy do have a headband that is very flexible and will not break from any regular wear and tear. Coming from someone who unbiasly has both, i prefer the airpods max and only gave it a 4 star rating for its slight lack of bass. The sony XM5’s have great bass but arent really comfortable to wear, more specifically, outer ear pain. The ear cup of the sony XM5’s are not as deep or as large as the airpods max. So even if you have small ears, the xm5’s earcups can squish up against your ear slightyl but within 20 minutes, that pain and discomfort will be enough for you to want to take them off. Both are quality products and both are winners in their own right. However,i prefer apples airpods max.

I love these headphones!! I use them all the time. The noise cancellation in pretty good, you can still hear things that are super loud, but if it's not really loud then it's canceled out. They're super comfy, and fit perfectly on my head. They last a while without being charged too!

Pretty much perfect. They’re comfortable and I love having the option between canceling out all of the noise around me, or transparency so I can stay aware of my surroundings. Bonus points for doubling as ear muffs in the winter, LOL! I usually charge these once a week just to be safe, but they haven’t died on me yet!
Best Buy’s refurbished packaging was great. The condition of the headphones were great too of course. 10/10. I prefer Best Buy for my Apple purchases, hands down.

The sound and build quality is top notch! It blows beats by Dre out of the water. I think apple is trying to go after the audiophiles with their first attempt at luxury headphones. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is because it’s about $150.00 overpriced. The headphones are advertised as $550.00 dollars, but with tax I paid $601.00. Their are better headphones at this price point. Everyone compares Sonys XM0004, but it’s not a fair comparison. You can find the Sonys for $350.00 or less. Apple’s true competitors are the $500 dollars or more price point. No headphone maker can compete with AirPod Max’s craftsmanship. However, I’ve heard better sound from headphones at the $1000 price point. Also, the carrying purse for the cans is a horrible idea. Also, these headphones cannot be used for working out at the gym or going for a run. The sweat will damage the ear cups and flop around on your head. It’s strictly for comfort listening!

I recently purchased the AirPods Max and I must say, they are worth every penny! The sound quality is exceptional and the noise cancellation feature is incredible. The headphones fit comfortably over my ears and the design is sleek and stylish. The battery life is impressive and they charge quickly. I love how easy it is to switch between my devices with just a tap. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the AirPods Max to anyone in the market for premium headphones.

I have to be honest, I was definitely hesitant about purchasing these headphones but, a couple weeks into using these bad boys, I am absolutely in love. The quality is great, the noise control is on point, the bass is amazing, and the design is so fleek and simple! Not heavy either!
These headphones also have a very lengthy battery life. You can use them all day and still have a generous amount of battery.
If you are bent on buying these, DO IT. Every piece of audio will be an extraordinary experience!

The most noticeable thing (besides the price tag), is the build quality. After taking off my Sony XM4s and putting these on, the build quality is excellent. They feel premium and they are comfortable (once you find the right spot on your head). The lack of an included cable was only frustrating for me because I use a Windows desktop for work and wanted to plug them in. Easy to just buy the cable. For anyone looking for true wireless, the lack of a cable is irrelevant.
Sound quality is on par with Sony’s. I’m not an audiophile, but for me there’s a noticeable difference in the mids. Sounds less “muddy.”
The Digital Crown is perfect, wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s easy and convenient, don’t have to hope you’re touching invisible touch buttons.
I would highly recommend.

I tried these in the store and immediately became obsessed with them. $499 can be a tought pill to swallow but I did it and they are so amazing. They are completely comfortable, yes a bit heavy but does not bother me. The noise cancellation is great and the sound is amazing. I use tgem with my phone, my pc and my MacBook.

These headphones are simply amazing. Unfortunately the weight of the headphones need to be compensated for by the tight grip they have on my head. It causes me some discomfort on the left side of my face but with that said, i will not be returning these headphones. All of the other features are simply too good for me to give them up. The noise cancelling is crazy and so is the transparency mode. Personalized spatial audio is like listening to music in a cinema. The sound quality is crystal clear and really excels in the highs, they also have plenty of bass if thats a concern for you. Not to mention the build quality is premium. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem these just feel that much better. Yeah they’re overpriced for sure, but if you got the money, you probably wont regret the purchase.

Sound quality is top notch
Fits snug and weight isn’t too bad like everyone said it was
Battery lasts a few days without needing a charge

ANC is best on the market hands down
