Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am absolutely blown away by the AirPods Max! These headphones have completely transformed my listening experience. The sound quality is exceptional—rich, clear, and balanced across all frequencies. The deep bass, crisp highs, and clear mids make every song feel like a live performance. I was honestly surprised by how immersive the audio is, and it’s hard to go back to any other headphones after hearing these. The noise cancellation is a game-changer. It’s incredibly effective at blocking out distractions, whether I’m on a noisy commute or in a busy café. With Transparency mode, I can seamlessly switch to hearing my surroundings when needed, which adds to the overall convenience. Comfort is another standout feature. The memory foam ear cushions fit perfectly around my ears, and the breathable knit mesh canopy on the headband distributes weight evenly, making them comfortable for long listening sessions without any pressure or discomfort. The design is sleek and premium, as expected from Apple. They feel sturdy and well-built but are still relatively lightweight for over-ear headphones. The controls are intuitive—digital crown for volume and playback control, and everything pairs seamlessly with my Apple devices via Bluetooth. Battery life is solid, offering up to 20 hours of high-fidelity audio with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio on. Plus, the carrying case is sleek and keeps the headphones safe and secure when not in use. Overall, the AirPods Max deliver an unparalleled audio experience with great comfort, incredible sound quality, and top-notch noise cancellation. If you’re looking for high-end, luxury headphones, these are absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

I've been using Apple’s newest headphones for a few weeks now, and I have to say, they truly redefine what premium audio products can offer. Sound Quality: The sound is nothing short of spectacular. The bass is deep and rich without overwhelming the mids and highs, which are incredibly clear and crisp. Whether you’re listening to your favorite playlist, watching movies, or enjoying a podcast, the sound experience is immersive and balanced. The spatial audio feature takes things to the next level, making you feel like the sound is coming from all around you, perfect for watching movies or gaming. Noise Cancellation: Apple has seriously upped their noise-canceling game. It’s like flipping a switch between the world around you and your own personal soundscape. Even in noisy environments, like the subway or a bustling coffee shop, I found that the noise cancellation was incredibly effective without any discomfort or pressure that you sometimes get with other brands. Comfort: The design is sleek and the ear cups feel like they were made for long-term wear. The padding is soft, and the overall fit is snug without being too tight, so you can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The lightweight design also means I barely feel them on my head, making them perfect for extended listening sessions. Battery Life: Apple's claim of an all-day battery life is spot on. I’ve gotten through long flights, entire workdays, and several podcast marathons without needing to charge them. Plus, they charge fast. A quick 15-minute charge gives you hours of playback, which is perfect when you're on the go. Design and Build: These headphones not only sound amazing, but they also look stunning. The finish is smooth and high-quality, and the folding mechanism is sleek and sturdy. It’s clear Apple put a lot of thought into both aesthetics and durability. Smart Features: The integration with Siri and Apple’s ecosystem is seamless. I love being able to control everything from music to calls with a simple tap or voice command. The head-tracking with spatial audio is a fun and functional addition, and it really does make a difference when you’re watching movies or shows in Apple TV+. Overall, these headphones are a massive win for Apple. Whether you're an audiophile or just someone who enjoys top-tier audio, these headphones deliver an exceptional listening experience in every way. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, these will feel like a natural extension of your devices, and if you’re new to Apple, you’ll be hooked after the first listen. Rating: 5/5 – Truly a premium experience!

I tried many of the headphones within the price range of the AirPods Max before purchasing them. The first time I put a pair on my head the sound quality was simply astounding. I listen to a variety of music, but first I'm a Rock & Roll boy. I listened to all my favorite bands from the 60s & 70s, when I was growing up in the SF Bay Area. The AirPods rocked! I also like classical music, so I listened to some of my favorites and the experience was impressive. I used to go to Broadway Musicals when they came through Portland. One of my favorites is Phantom of the Opera. Listening to the Phantom with the AirPods Max was almost like being in the theater. Another thing that has impressed me about these headphones is the build quality. I purchased my first pair just over two years ago and nothing has broken on them. How can anything not break? Apple used a lot of metal when designing the Max, so the quality is far above any of the headphones I tried. I have medium to large ears and nothing I had tried really felt comfortable, especially after a few hours of wear. I only like over the ears, as opposed to on the ear. The AirPods Max fit over my ears completely, and I wear them comfortably for hours. I use nothing but Apple products. I have an iPhone, Air Pad, MacBook Pro, and Apple TV. The AirPods works seamlessly with them all. The new USB-C AirPods Max headphones was a disappointment for a lot of fans because of the lack of upgrades Apple could have done but didn't. Apple kept the H1 chip in them when I had expected at least an upgrade to H2, and possibly a new H3. Why? Who knows. The other disappointment is many fans were expecting a water resistance upgrade. Why Apple decided to keep these basically the same is up for debate. Apple did change the charging port to USB-C from the old Lightning port. It's a nice change for those tired of having to interchange cords. Apple finally changed to the new USB-C because they were basically forced to by some European government/federation. The new colors is a nice upgrade. I opted for the Midnight color and they look really cool. The old gray option was just that - old. I use these to watch TV and the sound is amazing. I have premium headphones designed specifically for TV/movie watching, and the AirPods Max sound so much better. If you're looking for a premium pair of headphones, I encourage you to take a serious look at the AirPods Max.

This is my honest review after paying for them with my own money. I purchased when they went on sale and do not regret the decision. Best Buy offered the best price for these at around $100 off. The original msrp is just a bit too high but at the discounted price point it feels right for the quality you’re getting. The sound quality is fantastic, especially when integrated into the Apple ecosystem’s lossless audio. The battery life of ~20 hours has never been an issue for me since just five minutes of charging or so can get you 1-2 hours of listening. They are built very sturdy and feel extremely premium. They fit quite comfortably on my head, I’ve always had a big head/ears so I was relieved that these did not give me any issue. My partner who has overall smaller head and ears thinks they are the most comfortable pair of headphones ever and now wants a pair too after trying them. I live in a tropical climate and have not had any issues with sweating after hours of continued use in 73 degree air conditioning at home. Some people have complained about the smell of the ear pads, but in my opinion this is mainly coming from a chemical in the material used. Out of the box, you will notice a chemical smell on the pads which is normal, but after sweating the scent of the chemicals can mix with it which is what people are encountering. However, they are removable and washable with detergent and water. This should remove the odor and keep them clean - Apple has guidelines on their website as to how to do this safely. Would definitely recommend grabbing them if on sale as long as you understand that they require a bit of effort here and there to maintain clean and in tip top shape.

These headphones are comfortable (for the most part), produce great quality noise, have long-lasting batteries, great noise cancellation, are adjustable and sturdy. The reason I say they are comfortable "for the most part" is because they are rather heavy. I cannot wear them for prolonged periods of time, maybe 2 hours maximum. Also, I love that they don't bother my ears. I have 7 ear piercings (including my cartilage) and these are big enough to wrap around my ear without feeling any discomfort and generally have a comfortable fit around my ears. Additionally, I love the wide variety of colors that they come in. The device is also easy to use with a button for pausing/playing, adjusting the volume, and changing the noise cancellation setting. Comes with a case and charger. I took off a star for the heaviness and cost of the item. I'm sure you can find comparable headphones for a lower price.

These are hands down the best noise-cancelling headphones I’ve ever used, perfect for flights and blocking out everything around me. Super comfortable for long hours, especially on airplanes, and they don’t cause any pressure or ear fatigue. Also, gotta say, they look amazing, definitely the best-looking headphones out there. Sound quality is top-tier, and everything just works so smoothly with my Apple devices. Yeah, they’re expensive, but if you're looking for comfort, style, and top performance, AirPods Max are totally worth it.

The sound quality, comfort, and battery life are all amazing. I bought these specifically for the active noise canceling capability and while it’s not dead silent when it’s on, it’s the best I’ve heard from over the ear headphones. I have heard others complain about their ears getting hot/sweaty, but I have not had an issue with this. The integration into the Apple ecosystem is flawless & intuitive. I’ve used with Apple TV, iPhone, & my iMac and the transition between devices is seamless.

These were sooo worth the buy! I wear them to the gym, at home and on walks. They are very comfortable and keep a charge for a long time. I recently took these on vacation with me and let me tell you the noise cancellation kept me from hearing the crying baby that was a row in front of me the entire flight. If you’re looking for comfort, great sound and stellar noise cancellation the AirPod Maxes are what you need.

The Apple AirPods Max deliver top-tier sound, amazing noise cancellation, and a premium design. They’re super comfortable, especially for long listening sessions, and features like Spatial Audio and seamless switching make them perfect for Apple users. The only downsides? They’re pricey, and the case isn’t great.

Great audio quality. The reason for not giving it 5 stars is the weight of the headphones, it tends to get heavy when you wear for long periods of time. The Transparency/noise suppression is great when you want to listen to the environment or not. Great battery life but you have to carry the case to not lose charge, other than that, great for studying/office work. Since this is an expensive item, I bought extra protection for it, which added a tiny bit of weight to it. Now it’s snug and great. I have an Apple laptop, iPad Pro, and iPhone and THEY CONNECT EFFORTLESSLY. No more switching the Bluetooth.

I finally got the AirPods Max and wow they sound amazing. Music, videos, even just walking to class feels cooler with these on. The noise canceling is crazy good too. I can actually focus even if people are being loud around me. They’re super comfy and the Midnight color looks really clean. Kinda pricey, but if you’re into music or just want headphones that feel next level, these are worth it. Plus the USB-C is super convenient now. Definitely one of my favorite things I’ve bought this year.

I’ve been using these headphones for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed. The sound quality is crisp and well-balanced — great bass without overpowering the mids and highs. They’re super comfortable for long listening sessions, and the build feels solid without being bulky. Noise cancellation works surprisingly well, even in noisy environments. Battery life is excellent too — I’ve gone days without needing to recharge. Definitely one of the best audio purchases I’ve made in a while. Highly recommended!

I love these headphones and use them everyday since purchasing. The sound is great and noise cancellation is immaculate. Battery Life is amazing too. Sidenote: I’ve been on 1% the past 2-3hrs. The color is nice I’m happy these are Lavender because my options are low when it comes to my color. No fading or scratches. I did get a protective cover for them though so I’d recommend even though it’s durable. Only thing I don’t like is that you have to have it in the case to turn off. It also gets dirty easily since it’s white, BUT you can take these apart and wash them.

Sure the bass could be better but otherwise these headphones sound amazing. They work seemlessly when switching between apple devices and connectivity is solid. Being able to watch movies/tv on apple tv device not distrubing others in my house is my primary reason for getting thses. Also they are very comfortable on my large noggin. Sound cancelation is great even on a loud airplane.

All right, so these headphones have killer sound with the bass and clear highs.They are super comfy even after hours of listening the build feel solid like they can handle being tossed in a bag thrown on the ground and etc. noise cancellation works amazing and the Bluetooth is rock solid for the price. They are definitely a steal.

The Apple AirPods Max in Purple are an excellent choice for students. The noise cancellation is perfect for staying focused in busy environments even at work when you need a break. The audio quality is unbelievable for both studying and work. They’re comfortable for a long time, aswell as have great battery life, which is well needed. Worth every penny!

Yes, people think they are wildly expensive, but if you love your Apple ecosystem like me, get them! I was worried about them being too heavy and uncomfortable, but after about maybe 3 days of figuring out what’s the best position to wear on my head and ears (i have small ears), I have adjusted pretty well and they don’t cause me discomfort. They connect seamlessly through all of my Apple devices. Accessories make them even more stylish. The aesthetic, the connectivity, the noise canceling and surround sound, all amazing. Not water resistant so be careful in the shower.

Listen. These Blue Apple AirPods Max? Life-changing. I’m not saying they cured my anxiety, cleared my skin, and made my ex regret everything—but I’m also not not saying that. From the moment I put these on, I was transported to a realm where only crisp treble, rich bass, and my main character energy exist. Noise cancellation? Let’s just say I could be sitting next to a leaf blower and still vibe like I’m in a candlelit jazz lounge. They’re so comfortable it’s like Apple reached into the clouds, plucked two marshmallows, and engineered them into audio perfection. I wore them for 5 hours straight and only took them off because I missed the sound of my own voice. Also, the color? This shade of blue is the kind of sophisticated that says, “I drink sparkling water and know at least one wine fact.” Would I recommend them? Yes. Would I risk being hit by a rogue pigeon just to not take them off while walking outside? Also yes. If you’ve been on the fence—hop off. These babies are worth it. My ears have never known peace like this.

I love these headphones! They’re beautiful, I love the color. I also love how loud they sound, I thought my other pair of headphones were loud but not according to these. This is my very first time trying the noise cancellation feature and I must say that I’m enjoying it. I love when I go out that i can just press the feature and not hear anything. It feels like im in a whole other world when i put these on. This is also my first pair of airpod maxes, I’ve wanted these for a long time. I’m glad I waited long enough for them to bring out a purple color. The price could be fairer though, I don’t think anyone should be paying over $500 for any pair of headphones.

I recently picked up the Apple AirPods Max (USB‑C) and they’ve completely blown me away. The bass is deep and powerful, yet never overwhelming. The sound clarity is crystal clear, even at high volumes, and Spatial Audio makes everything—from music to movies—feel incredibly immersive. The design is clean, sleek, and premium, with a solid yet comfortable build. What I love most is how seamlessly they work with all my Apple gear. Once I paired them with my iPhone, they were instantly recognized by my iPad, MacBook, and even my Apple TV (latest version)—no extra setup needed. Just pop them on and they switch automatically. If you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem and want studio-level sound with zero fuss, these are absolutely worth it.
