    Convenient if you're an Apple power user

    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.

    Great headphones

    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.

    Transparency Mode is a Game Changer

    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.

    Best head phones

    The Apple AirPods Max are a remarkable addition to the high-end headphone market, combining advanced technology with sleek design. One of their standout features is the exceptional sound quality; the audio is rich, balanced, and detailed across various genres. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is equally impressive, effectively blocking out ambient noise for an immersive listening experience. Comfort is another strong point, thanks to the memory foam ear cushions and breathable knit mesh canopy, allowing for long listening sessions without discomfort. The intuitive controls make it easy to manage playback and calls. Battery life is impressive, offering up to 20 hours with ANC activated. However, the price point may be a barrier for some, as they are positioned within the premium range. Overall, the Apple AirPods Max deliver an outstanding audio experience, making them a worthy investment for audiophiles and Apple enthusiasts alike.

    Great used product in the description that it was described. Love the functionality of the headphones and how they "Handoff" or switch audio to whatever apple device that I am currently using. Very easy to setup right out of the packaging. I do some music production and the sound quality is amazing to me. The battery life is pretty good and also has the option to connect to devices with usb-c.

    Astonishing sound clarity

    Great sound quality. No other mainstream headphones can compare to the AirPod Max when it comes to clarity in music and movies because of apples Spatial Audio feature. The Apple ecosystem is elite in my opinion. These headphones connect automatically and the quick switch between multiple devices is impressive. The clarity of voices in movies is trippy with Spatial Audio, sounds like they’re talking around you/to you. I love the new lossless audio update through USB C connection, great for enjoying the highest quality music for the average consumer. For casual, mainstream headphones, it’s impressive what they can do. The ANC is extremely impressive as well, helps with airplane noise, traffic noise, etc. I also haven’t had any problems with the battery life either. They last a good amount before having to charge them again. They are on the heavy side but I’m able to adjust, the weight can be an issue for some people though. Another great feature is the magnetic earcups, easy to attach and detach if there’s condensation build up.

    The Apple AirPods Max are hands down one of the most impressive headphones I’ve ever used. From the moment you put them on, you can feel the premium build quality solid, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for long listening sessions. The sound quality is exceptional. The audio is rich, detailed, and perfectly balanced across highs, mids, and deep bass without feeling overwhelming. Active Noise Cancellation is best-in-class and truly immersive, while Transparency Mode feels incredibly natural, almost like you’re not wearing headphones at all. What really sets AirPods Max apart is how seamlessly they work within the Apple ecosystem. Switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac is effortless, Spatial Audio adds an entirely new dimension to movies and music, and the controls are intuitive and responsive. Yes, they’re an investment but you absolutely get what you pay for. If you’re looking for top-tier sound, premium comfort, and flawless Apple integration, the AirPods Max are worth every penny. Highly recommended.

    The Apple AirPods Max are easily the best headphones I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is phenomenal… rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs that make everything from music to podcasts sound incredible. The Active Noise Cancellation is next-level; it blocks out background noise effortlessly, making these perfect for travel, work, or just zoning out at home. The build quality feels premium, from the aluminum ear cups to the breathable mesh headband, every detail screams luxury. And even though they’re larger than other headphones I’ve used, they’re surprisingly comfortable for long listening sessions. Transparency mode is a game-changer too, being able to hear your surroundings without taking them off is incredibly useful. Pairing with Apple devices is seamless, and the spatial audio feature makes movies and music more immersive than ever. Yes, they’re pricey, but if you value sound quality, comfort, and craftsmanship, the AirPods Max absolutely deliver.

    Probably the best headphones I’ve ever used. When in transparency mode it’s as if you’re not wearing the headphones at all. The noise canceling also even better than the AirPod 2s. The ear-cuffs also remove with magnets making them super easy to clean.

    I thought AirPods Max would just be “nice headphones.” I was wrong. These things don’t just play music — they transport me. I put them on and suddenly Billie Eilish is whispering directly into my brain while Mozart politely waits his turn in the lobby. The noise cancellation? Let’s just say my neighbor could be starting a chainsaw, arguing with his parrot, and frying bacon all at once — and I’d still be vibing to Fleetwood Mac in blissful ignorance. Comfort? Like strapping two velvet marshmallows to the side of my head. Battery life? Long enough that I forget they even need charging until my phone screams at me. Are they expensive? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. I’d sell a kidney on Facebook Marketplace before giving these up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Would let them adopt me if possible.

    I recently purchased the AirPods Max from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I unboxed them, the build quality stood out—these headphones feel solid, premium, and incredibly well-designed. The aluminum ear cups and mesh headband give it a modern, sleek look that matches the price tag. Sound quality is phenomenal. The spatial audio feature truly enhances music and movies, making you feel like you’re in a theater. Active Noise Cancellation is top-tier—blocks out everything from airplane engine noise to chatty coworkers. The Transparency Mode is surprisingly natural and useful when I need to stay aware of my surroundings. Pairing with my iPhone was effortless, and the seamless integration across Apple devices is a huge plus. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the case, while a bit odd-looking, does its job well enough. Only downside? The price. They are expensive. But if you’re looking for top-quality sound, comfort, and Apple ecosystem benefits, the AirPods Max deliver. Would definitely recommend to anyone serious about audio quality and looking for a premium listening experience.

    Absolutely outstanding best over ear headphones

    I’ve had some excellent sets of headphones over the years (Premium models from Bose, Beats, earlier AirPods, and a host of others) and I can say without hesitation: these AirPods Max USB-C are hands down the best I’ve ever owned. Sound Quality: Crystal-clear. Vocals stand out with incredible presence, highs sparkle without harshness, and the mid-range works beautifully for everything from rock to classical. Many reviewers also praise the detailed and refined tuning. The USB-C version even supports 24-bit/48 kHz lossless audio when wired. For me it’s realistic, immersive, and effortlessly premium. Comfort & Fit: They hug your ears. The over-ear design, plush cushions and canopy provide a feeling of being enveloped in sound without sacrificing comfort even during long listening sessions. One Reddit user noted “I can wear them for hours and not feel a thing.” Build & Features: Premium build quality, excellent materials and top-tier integration with the Apple ecosystem. The transition to USB-C means one fewer cable type for many users. Spatial Audio, ANC, transparency mode all perform well, and in every other important category besides one (see below) they feel superior to everything I’ve tried. Minor Downside: The mic / noise-cancellation performance for calls isn’t quite on par with the best in class, specifically I’ve found that in comparison to my AirPods Pro the ambient-noise isolation and mic voice clarity in noisy settings isn’t quite as robust. Reviewers have flagged the microphone behaviour as “not always predictable.” So if you rely heavily on headset calls in very noisy environments, this is a slight caveat. Conclusion: If you value excellent sound quality, premium build, and superb comfort, the AirPods Max USB-C are a fantastic choice. For me they deliver an unmatched listening experience. The mic/ANC for calls isn’t perfect, but it’s a very small trade-off given the overall performance. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic ANC, frequency response and overall look and feel. Only downside IMO is that they are 650g, BUT because they are well built, they do sit well on your head and I don’t find myself getting fatigue unless I’m laying down. 10/10 quality consumer grade headphone.

    I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for several months now, and they’ve completely changed how I experience music, movies, and even work calls. The sound quality is truly phenomenal, crisp highs, deep bass, and a wide soundstage that makes everything from classical music to podcasts sound immersive and alive. Comfort wise, the mesh headband and memory foam ear cups make them easy to wear for hours without fatigue. The build quality is exceptional solid, premium materials that feel really nice. Battery life hasn’t been an issue at all, and I appreciate how seamlessly they integrate with the Apple ecosystem. Switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac is smooth and instant. Yes, they’re expensive, but if you care about sound quality, comfort, and design, the AirPods Max are absolutely worth it. Apple nailed it with these.

    Excellent noise cancellation and music does sound richer with these. They not only connect well to my iphone, macbook, and ipad, but they easily connect to my nintendo switch 2. Tears of the Kingdom sounds fantastic with these via bluetooth. They also look great. Their weird smart case doesn't offer much protection, but I don't mind that, but do understand other folks who might prefer a legit case. Anyway, if you have the money to splurge, I recommend these.
