Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound quality on the AirPods Max is excellent. Music sounds full, clear, and immersive, and they’re very comfortable to wear, even for longer periods of time. That said, there are several downsides. The noise cancellation could be better, especially at this price point. It’s also not always clear when they’re on or off, which is frustrating. I think need to be in the case whenever not in use. Which leads me to... the case is another disappointment. It doesn’t offer much protection, and the headphones feel like they could scratch easily. I already feel like I need to buy covers just to keep them looking decent. Walking with them is also not ideal. Movement seems to interfere with the sound and makes it sound off, which limits when and where I actually want to use them. The biggest issue is the price though. It feels WAY too high, even when they’re on sale. Not sure if I can justify the price.

I’ve been using Apple headphones for a while, and I’m really impressed. The sound quality is crisp with deep bass, and phone calls are always clear. They fit comfortably in my ears and stay put even when I’m moving around. The pairing with my iPhone was instant and seamless, which makes them super convenient. Overall, a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality and ease of use.

if you really like music then i think you should get the AirPods Max (USB-C) in Midnight are an impressive pair of premium headphones that truly stand out in both sound quality and design. The audio is rich and well balanced, with clear vocals, deep bass, and an immersive experience especially when using Spatial Audio. Noise cancellation works extremely well, making them perfect for studying, traveling, or just enjoying music without distractions. The Midnight color looks sleek and modern, and the build quality feels very solid and high end

The AirPods Max deliver outstanding sound quality with rich bass and clear details. They feel comfortable for long listening sessions and connect seamlessly with Apple devices.

The AirPods Max have always delivered premium build quality, exceptional ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), and spatial audio that’s hard to beat in the Apple ecosystem. But now, with Apple’s quiet update enabling lossless audio playback via USB-C to USB-C connection, they finally close the gap that audiophiles have been pointing out since launch. Lossless Audio Over USB-C The biggest upgrade: you can now connect the AirPods Max directly to your Mac, iPad, or other compatible devices using a USB-C to USB-C cable to enjoy 24-bit/48kHz lossless audio. This bypasses the limitations of Bluetooth compression and makes a noticeable difference for trained ears—especially when listening to Apple Lossless, FLAC, or high-bitrate files. While it’s not full high-res (e.g., 192kHz), the clarity, dynamic range, and separation are improved. Build & Comfort Still as durable and comfortable as ever. The stainless steel frame and breathable knit mesh canopy give a unique blend of luxury and function, though the weight remains on the heavier side for long sessions. Sound Quality Even before lossless, the AirPods Max delivered incredibly balanced sound with strong bass, detailed mids, and crisp highs. Now, with wired lossless support, the already excellent drivers are pushed further—especially for studio recordings and orchestral tracks. Noise Cancellation & Transparency Top-tier. Few headphones match the ANC capabilities of the AirPods Max, and the transparency mode is still one of the most natural on the market. Battery Life & Charging 20 hours of battery life remains standard, and USB-C makes charging more convenient—no more Lightning cable needed. Downsides • Still no power button; relies on case placement or time-based sleep. • Wired lossless only works through USB-C—not through the Lightning-to-3.5mm dongle or with analog sources. • Expensive, especially if you don’t fully live in the Apple ecosystem. Verdict The addition of lossless audio via USB-C gives the AirPods Max the audiophile credibility they were missing. They’re still very Apple-centric, but if you’re deep in the ecosystem and care about sound quality, these now feel like a complete package. Rating: 9/10 – Premium sound meets premium design—finally lossless.

Love them. Great audio and you look slick. Perfect for the airplane!

Absolutely fantastic headphones, The first set we got didn't seem to grip my girlfriend's head. I returned the first pair that was a an open box item and purchased this new pair. This one has been great and fit is just right. They could certainly benefit from the option to grip tighter for those with small heads, but as far as sound and call quality they are excellent. I've spent a lot of time on phone calls with her when she has been outside by a busy road. The call quality was great and I couldn't tell she was out by a busy road.

**Note: compared these to Sony XM 4-5, Beats Studio 3** Absolutely insane noise cancellation, probably the greatest sound I’ve heard from a headphone, and switching between devices and modes is seamless. On the flip side, these are HEAVY for most people, but I enjoy the weight personally. The ear cups are very comfortable, but the area surrounding the ear can get a bit of pain during extended use. Lastly is the price. It’s ridiculously expensive for what it is, however I grabbed them on sale a bit closer to typical over-ear headphone prices. But there is no chance I would buy them at full price. I’ve been looking for a headphone like this for so long and barring the two negative physical features, I’d use these for life.

Super comfortable with great cushioning and support. Lightweight, stylish, and perfect for all-day wear. Fits true to size and looks good with everything. Definitely worth it!

Fab quality rich sound and comfortable to wear for any length of time compared to my beats. Love the noise cancelling its fab and can't husband rubbish tv football so a bonus. Wanted to use on flight but not able to plug in or WiFi so back to beats on a flight which was the main reason i bought them now have to buy an adapter at extra $60 cost

These were a Christmas gift for my daughter, she loves them and never takes them off. Says sound is great and comfortable - she loves the noise canceling as well

Great headphones with nice comfortable padding. Noise cancelation is above expectations and battery is great!

I recently purchased the AirPods Max from Best Buy and I couldn’t be happier with both the headphones and the shopping experience. The sound quality is outstanding—clear, balanced, and immersive. Noise cancellation works so well that it blocks out background noise completely, and the Transparency Mode feels super natural. Spatial Audio makes movies and music feel like you’re in a theater.

Great set of headphones, got them to replace my bose quietcomforts and it's even more comfortable. The sound quality is the same but it's a very easy pair of headphones to use if you use an iphone

Amazing quality. Battery lasts a long time and they feel super comfortable.

Very comfortable and the sound quality is amazing. Noise cancelling feature is wonderful. Link automatically to my macbook and my iphone. Love the color too!

LOVE the sound and the new lossless / ultra low latency capabilities. But it’s still baffling that Apple didn’t at least update the chip to get them on par with the features of the AirPods Pro (Conversation Awareness, Adaptice mode, etc.). Also, as many people have no doubt reported, they are heavy (but this is not as noticeable as I thought it would be). And the case is, shall we say, weird at best. Also, I wish the USB-C port was on the left ear cup and not the right, but that’s just down to preference.

The Apple AirPods Max are the perfect travel companion. The battery life, noise cancellation and sound quality are exceptional. Just put them on and settle in to your seat for a quiet travel experience.

In love with these headphones! The comfort, over the ear fit, and sound quality is perfect! Highly recommend if you’re in the market for some new headphones!

These are excellent. Love the color and that it’s USB-C vs. the lightning that I have. The sound and ANC is great too. So easy to connect straight from the box too! I’m all Apple so it fits well in my Appleverse!
