Customer Ratings & Reviews

Grand daughter (14) thought this was the greatest. I purchased the apple headphones as a Christmas gift. He too was extremely happy with his gift. He said he used the headphones several times a day and is pleased with the quality of the sound. I am giving some serious thought to purchasing a set for myself. I have the apppe ear buds and I am certain I need additional equipment.

great sound and very comfortable to wear. i love that it connects right away with all my apple products. great noise cancellation

Great quality and great sound! The fit on your head very comfortable. It’s feels a little heavy at first but you get use to it and it fits like a glove, a quality sounding glove!

Incredible Sound and Comfort – Worth Every Penny! I recently purchased the AirPods Max, and I’m absolutely blown away by the quality! From the moment I unboxed them, I could tell these headphones were something special. The build quality is solid and premium, and the design is sleek and modern. The sound quality is truly next-level—crystal-clear highs, deep bass, and an immersive experience that makes music, podcasts, and even movies come alive. The Active Noise Cancellation is outstanding, completely blocking out the outside world and creating an incredibly focused listening experience.

I chose these over all other headphones in the store due to comfort and sound quality. Sony has close sound quality but comfort and connectivity with my Apple eco system makes this a hands down winner despite the higher price.

Great headphones with awesome sound quality! I love the color and the weight and the carrying case. Simple and sleek.

Very well constructed and very comfortable. Clear music output as well as phone calls. Noise Cancellation as well as transparency is a strong plus!

wasn't sure about getting these but I'm happy I did, of course with the best but return policy it's no problem to return them. but they are very comfortable to wear, they sound great, which was my biggest concern. some headphones have too much bass but these have great balance for my taste. I wish apple had an app so you could fine tune it even more, but overall very pleased.

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.

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.

Despite the Price it has high quality features - the noise cancelling works more preferable than many bose headsets IMO, the sound quality is great, and the comfort is the best I've experienced.

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.

The BEST headphones EVER!!!! The sound and the comfort is unmatched. Apple did not disappoint. I am beyond happy with this purchase.

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.

Worth it especially the noise canceling button great for the gym and runs. Super easy to connect as soon as u put them on they automatically do

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.

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

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.

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.
