Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a very good purchase. I really enjoy the more neutral sound profile of the AirPods Max vs the WH-1000XM5 that I normally use. Even though they weigh more (383g vs 250g), the headband distributes the weight very well and as a result, it isn't fatiguing. The ear pads are so comfortable and the depth of the ear cup feels great. It has a very neutral, slightly warm character but much better bass and sub-bass response, so it is just great right out of the box. The clarity was shocking to me at first, too. The recent firmware update enabling USB-Audio over USB-C works beautifully well. It also works flawlessly over USB-C with my Windows 11 desktop, too. It is great to use for lossless audio and also have it remain charged up, too. I don't really use this in areas needing great noise canceling, but it is obvious that the ANC is quite good.

These headphones are great. The style and way they rest on my son's ear are perfect. The noise cancellation and battery life is great as well.

Sound is really good. They look great and fit very comfortable. This was a gift for my daughter and I think that I will be getting one for me.

Incredible Sound & Comfort – Worth Every Penny The AirPods Max completely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is phenomenal — crystal clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass that doesn’t overpower. Whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or on a call, the experience feels immersive and premium. The Active Noise Cancellation is top-tier — it blocks out background noise better than any other headphones I’ve tried. And when I need to hear my surroundings, Transparency Mode works like magic. Comfort-wise, they’re surprisingly light for their size. The memory foam ear cushions and breathable mesh headband make them comfortable even after hours of use. Battery life is solid, and the build quality feels ultra-premium. The design is sleek, modern, and unmistakably Apple. Highly recommended for anyone who wants the best in wireless over-ear headphones. They’re not cheap but you get what you pay for and more.

I’ve been using the AirPods Max for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say they offer one of the best listening experiences available—if you’re willing to pay the high price. Sound Quality: The audio quality is exceptional. The sound is rich, detailed, and well-balanced across all genres. Whether it’s music, podcasts, or movies, everything sounds immersive. The spatial audio feature with head tracking really shines during movie watching—it feels like a mini theater. Noise Cancellation & Transparency: Apple nailed the Active Noise Cancellation. It blocks out most ambient noise without making your ears feel pressured. The Transparency mode is just as impressive—super natural-sounding, almost like you’re not wearing headphones at all. Design & Comfort: The build feels premium, with aluminum ear cups and a breathable mesh headband. They’re a bit heavy compared to other headphones, and comfort can depend on head shape and how long you wear them. For short to medium sessions, they’re great—but some might find them tiring after long use.

The Apple AirPods Max offer exceptional, detailed sound and top-tier noise cancellation with a premium, sturdy build (aluminum/stainless steel), seamless Apple ecosystem integration, and great Spatial Audio; however, they are heavy, expensive, come with a lackluster case, lack newer H2 chip features (like Adaptive Audio), and newer USB-C models need adapters for wired use, making them great for Apple users prioritizing luxury sound and ANC but potentially overkill or cumbersome for others.

They have great sound and fit well. Theyre a liitle heavy and the noise cancellation could be a liile better. But overall I love them.

I LOVE these headphones. They are so comfortable, the sound quality is incredible for music and phone calls. I have used them to listen to music, on Zooms, on an airplane, on phone calls and they have performed well every single time. I had the Beats Studio so for a side by side, the AirPods Max are more comfortable and have a "cleaner" sound if that makes any sense. The Beats are louder/ have more bass. The comfort level alone of these make them a better option for me.

Love the headphones, excellent connectivity and upholds its status as a well made apple product with amazing battery life

Pros: Excellent comfort, seamless Apple integration, superb ANC, and fast USB‑C charging. Cons: Heavy, pricey (~$549), minimal upgrades from the previous Lightning model. Best for: First-time AirPods Max buyers or those needing USB‑C compatibility; not worth upgrading if you already own the Lightning version.

Exactly what you expect from Apple - quality sound, especially for watching tv. I won’t take them on a run, but around the house for music and movies they check every box. My only complaint was the weight on my head at first, but after a week of wearing them - I don’t notice I’m wearing them anymore.

Great quality, and nice fit around the ears. I even wear them running. Perfect for everything

The audio setup from apple delivers crisp clean dynamic sound on all frequencies. If you like deep bass that is punchy but doesn’t reverberate with additional vibration, this is it. Some enjoy that reverb to be lasting, but not me. The comfort is incredible despite being a heavy pair of headphones, they sit nicely and do not put heavy pressure on the skull or ears.

High Quality, Great Sound, Comfortable to Wear, Connecting with Apple Devices is Seamless. Never expected to be using headphones to watch movies at home but this is now my standard.

Great product, amazing sound. As an Apple fanboy, I’m satisfied with the purchase. Slightly heavy, definitely took me a while to get used to. However, I’ve now arrived at a point where I can where them during workouts without the weight being an annoyance

Good handling quality, Good sound quality headphones, Premium feeling to them, comfortable enough to wear for multiple hours throughout the day, seamless connectivity to iPhone.

Phenomenal Apple AirPods. These are the greatest! Sound quality and voice cancellation could not be better. And very comfortable to wear. Yet another absolutely outstanding Apple product. Could not be more pleased and would highly recommend!

I like the quality and noise cancellation. I use them all the time everywhere, work with all my devices and the battery last long, drains slow.

Noise cancelling feature is IMPRESSIVE! Battery life has lasted me all day & connecting was simple

These headphones offer impressive sound quality with deep bass and clear highs, making them great for both music and calls. The build feels sturdy yet comfortable for long listening sessions. Noise cancellation works well in most environments. Battery life easily lasts through the day, and the quick charge feature is convenient. Overall, an excellent choice for the price, especially for everyday use.
