Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m picky about sound, comfort, and quality—and the AirPods Max deliver. The audio is crisp with balanced bass, noise cancellation is strong enough to completely tune out distractions, and Transparency mode actually sounds natural (not robotic). They’re comfortable for long wear and feel very well-built, not flimsy at all. Yes, they’re pricey, and yes, I hesitated—but after using them, I get it. Seamless Apple connectivity and premium performance make these a solid buy if sound quality matters to you.

I work in a call center and wanted a wireless set of headphones that fit over the ear that my customers could hear me on in a busy environment. I love the transparency mode for when I’m walking downtown and can hear my colleagues when necessary. These fit nicely on my head and the sound quality is great. Going to noise cancelling mode is great when I the people I’m speaking to are on a bad connection or speaking quietly. I do enjoy the quick connection to my iPhone and computer.

First of all, the airpod fits perfectly, and i like snuggly feeling on my head while wearing it to workout at the gym. Second of all, the bass and noise cancellation feature. Its quite and let me enjoy my music without interfering from loud music at the gym. Lastly, the airpod is comfortable and soft, cover both my ears for long hours. Highly recommended and everyone knows that.

These are genuinely great headphones. The AirPods Max deliver impressive sound quality with rich bass, clear highs, and a depth that makes everything sound full and immersive. The noise cancellation is amazing—it blocks out background noise even in really loud spaces, like busy cafés or on public transport, so you can just focus on what you’re listening to. The design feels premium, they’re super comfortable for long sessions, and the battery life has been solid with no issues so far. Whether it’s for music, calls, or just tuning out the world, for me , they’ve been totally worth it.

Don’t get me wrong, these headphones are nice. Comfortable all-day wear (except while eating), great sound cancellation, beautiful design, and stellar build quality. The all day battery life is great too. Just not worth the price tag. However, the sound quality is obviously not the draw of this product. The design and seamless integration with other Apple products is what draws people in. If you aren’t already deeply rooted into the ecosystem, don’t bother with these. There are much better quality (sound) options for less.

Excellent sound quality, comfortable, and very practical. The battery lasts a long time and they connect super fast. I highly recommend them!

Definitely a luxurious product Apple. The build quality of the AirPods Pro Max are stellar. The hinges are heavy duty, the cups feel robust and that overall adds to the heaviness of these headphones. Though they tried their best with the soft mesh which have a very nice feel. As far as sound; With USB C, now there’s lossless audio which is great for people looking for a more Hi-Fi Experience. Though to connect these to anything other than a device with USB C, Apple charges you $40 for a USB C to 3.5mm braided cable. Yikes. (I ended up buying it -_-) The sound is clear, with strong bass clear mids and highs. I look forward to listening to music on these everyday! Thought ive had a few software kinks when connecting these, the noise cancellation and transparency mode are some of the best on the market. I love these headphones despite their flaws and hope that I’ll have these for a very long time.

The AirPods Max deliver exceptional sound quality with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The active noise cancellation is outstanding and works incredibly well in noisy environments, while Transparency Mode feels very natural. The build quality is premium and the Midnight color looks sleek and elegant. They are very comfortable for long listening sessions and integrate seamlessly with Apple devices. The switch to USB-C is also a welcome update. Overall, a high-quality, premium headphone experience that lives up to expectations.

I bought the AirPods Max (USB-C) in Midnight and have been using them daily for a mix of music, conference calls, and watching videos. I’m already in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone/Apple TV/Apple Watch), so I mainly wanted something that “just works” and sounds great. How I use them Music and podcasts at home and in the office Zoom/Teams calls Movies/shows on Apple TV Occasional travel/errands for noise cancelling Setup & Apple integration Setup was basically instant—open the case near my iPhone and it paired immediately. Switching between devices is the big win: moving from iPhone to Apple TV or a Mac is simple and usually automatic. If you’re already in Apple’s ecosystem, these feel like a “plug and play” headset. Sound quality The sound is excellent—clean, detailed, and punchy without being muddy. Vocals come through clearly, and the bass has weight without overpowering everything. They’re also great at lower volumes, which I appreciate. Noise cancelling & transparency The Active Noise Cancelling is the best I’ve personally used. It cuts out constant noise (fans, HVAC, background hum) extremely well, and it’s strong enough that I catch myself forgetting how loud a room actually is. Transparency mode is equally impressive—when I turn it on, I can have a conversation without taking them off. Comfort & fit This is where it’s mixed: The ear cups are soft and seal well But the headset is noticeably heavy, and after long sessions I feel the weight more than other headphones If you wear headphones for hours at a time, that weight may matter. Calls & mic For calls, they’ve been solid—people can hear me clearly and the noise cancelling helps in louder environments. I wouldn’t call it a studio mic, but it’s more than good enough for work calls. Pros Top-tier sound quality Best-in-class noise cancelling Transparency mode is amazing Seamless Apple device switching Premium build quality Cons Price is still hard to justify unless you’ll use them a lot Heavier than most competitors Case design is… not my favorite (but functional) Bottom line If you’re in the Apple ecosystem and want premium sound + the best ANC, AirPods Max deliver. If you’re cost-conscious or wear headphones all day, the price and weight are the main reasons to consider alternatives.

Exactly what I was expecting. The design is very pure, the sound quality is also great and the noise reduction feature is definitely more advanced than the one in the AirPods Pro. I’ve heard that the sound quality is even better when plugged but haven’t tried it yet. It’s also great for working out, it doesn’t slip. Would definitely recommend!

The AirPods Max in Purple were a gift for my daughter, and she absolutely loves them, especially the color. The sound quality is excellent, with deep bass and clear audio, and the noise cancellation works very well. They feel premium and comfortable, even for longer listening sessions. They are on the expensive side, but the design, sound, and seamless connection with Apple devices make them feel worth it. A great choice if you want high-quality headphones and a color that really stands out.

Excellent sound quality. Seamlessly integrated with all of my apple products. Great battery life. Noise canceling is top tier. Like all headphones, you do need to hardwire it to your device for the best sound quality. Day to day functionality not the greatest due to size and inability to turn off without specific case. And the case you get for it will be big/clunky. Probably not wise to travel with it without a case. Not a practical day to day experience if you leave your house for work but great listening experience for your leisure

I absolutely love these AirPods Max! I use them daily for work - listening to music in the office and taking Zoom calls - and they've exceeded my expectations. Having owned both the Sonos Ace and Sony XM4, I can say each has its strengths. The Sony might edge out slightly on pure sound quality, and the Sonos Ace definitely looks sleeker and feels a bit more comfortable for long sessions. But what makes the AirPods Max my go-to choice is the incredible transparency mode. This feature is honestly a killer differentiator. Unlike other headphones I've owned, I don't feel muffled or disconnected when speaking on calls. The transparency mode lets me hear my own voice naturally, which makes video calls so much more comfortable and natural. It's one of those features you don't realize you need until you have it. The audio quality is excellent for both music and calls, and the microphone performance is consistently clear for my colleagues. I also really appreciate having physical buttons rather than relying solely on touch controls - they're more reliable and easier to use without looking.

Easy to use and very comfortable. Sound quality is good but not the best I have heard and they don’t seem to get really loud, if you like to listen to your music like that. The noise cancelation works really well and battery life is also good.

The AirPods Max deliver incredible sound quality with deep bass, crisp highs, and an immersive spatial audio experience. The noise cancellation is top‑tier, easily blocking out background noise even in busy environments. The build feels premium, and the memory foam ear cushions make them extremely comfortable for long listening sessions. Battery life is solid, and the new USB‑C port makes charging more convenient. Definitely a luxury purchase, but the performance and comfort justify the price.

Pros - comfortable, snug fit. Sound quality is exceptional, long time before recharge. Cons- bulky to tote around

The switch to USB-C makes these so much more convenient to charge with the rest of my gear. The Midnight color is stunning—a deep, sleek navy that looks very premium. As always, the Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode are best-in-class. They are a bit heavy for long sessions, and I wish Apple had updated the case, but the build quality and sound are unbeatable if you're already in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple headphones, particularly the AirPods and AirPods Pro, consistently receive high praise for their design, sound quality, and integration within the Apple ecosystem. The sleek design offers a comfortable fit, making them ideal for prolonged use. The sound quality is impressive, with rich bass and clear highs, creating a satisfying audio experience across various genres. Active Noise Cancellation in the AirPods Pro effectively blocks out background sounds, enhancing focus during listening sessions. Battery life is commendable, with quick charging capabilities ensuring they’re always ready for use. The seamless connectivity with Apple devices provides an added level of convenience. Overall, Apple’s headphones are a top choice for users seeking a premium audio experience, excellent build quality, and effortless device integration, making them a worthwhile investment for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike.

Really well built, premium headphones. The noise cancellation is pretty good and the cups around your ear is really cool to the touch. I do wish, however, that the battery lasted longer.

I think the best part about this headset is actually the convenience if you are in the apple ecosystem. I work on a Macbook, have an iphone, and occasionally use my ipad. I tried other headsets like the Sony and Bose and they are more comfortable to wear but the inconvenience of having to resync throughout the day when switching devices added up when you switch between devices as much as I do. Being able to see a call come through on your iphone and answer it whiel on your Mac and the headset to immediately switch between devices is very convenient throughout the work day. Same when you're on your iphone and switch back to Macbook for a online meeting. Battery life is great, charging is fast, and sound and noise cancelling all perform well. Compared to Bose and Sony I would say it's good enough and the convenience being in the Apple ecosystem makes this headset the best for me. 4 stars instead of 5 is for comfort. Compared to the others this is a heavy headset and not as comfortable as the Bose or Sony.
