Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

It's great, sound quality is amazing. I find it very easy to use as there's no button to turn it on. Just put it on your head and you're good to go! Battery life is also super, lasted me 3 days with heavy use without needing to charge.

These AirPods Max are worth every penny. The sound quality is incredibly rich and immersive, with deep bass and crystal-clear highs. Noise cancellation is top-tier. I love that they completely blocks out distractions, making them perfect for travel, work, or just zoning out with music. They’re comfortable even for long listening sessions, and the seamless Apple ecosystem connection is unmatched. Premium look, premium feel, premium performance

Comfort is my go to anytime. This product made for a perfect gift, durable, battery life A plus and comfortable to wear with multiple ear piercing!! Perfect for my daughter

The headphones are amazing the quality is great as well as the noise cancellation on them. They are great for everyday activities and the battery life lasts for multiple days .

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.

Honestly, the AirPods Max are one of those products that just feel good the moment you put them on. The sound is rich, clean, and surprisingly powerful, whether you’re listening to music or watching videos. Noise cancellation is seriously impressive—it blocks out the world without feeling weird or artificial. Everything works effortlessly, especially if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem. The build feels premium, the controls are simple, and spatial audio is actually fun, not gimmicky. Yes, they’re expensive, but they really do feel like a luxury experience you use every day.

As someone with multiple Apple Products these just make connection effortless. The sound quality is amazing and the weight is just right to know it’s there but not to cause fatigue on your head or ears. The difference between the noise cancelling and the transparency mode make is nice whether you want to block out the world or still be in it for awareness. The black is nice and sleek.

Bought these for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves them! The midnight blue color is my favorite and he loves the options for noise cancellation/transparency.

Love these Apple headphones—clear audio, amazing noise canceling, and they connect instantly to all my devices. Totally worth it!

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!

I like the color and it sound very good. Always wanted to get it at a good price.

Great noise canceling and battery life, I expected more from the microphone, however. I would stick to traditional air pods for work/personal calls. Otherwise a great pair of headphones for working out. They’re lightweight and don’t suffocate your ears, but without an adjustable head strap it can slide around a bit.

These headphones take sound to the next level. They are noise canceling and comfortable. Battery life is good as well. Would purchase these again

Been using these bad boys for a year now and they are great, a little heavy put the noise cancellation is great and of course the sound is great.

X7I have used SOny XM5, Focal Bathys, B&W PX7, but I got APM too late listening to the reviews but I am wrong, but these are the best based on my listening experience. Few things which are great compared to Sony XM5 and Focal Bathys, 1. Vocals sound excellent 2. Transparency (beats every headphone) 3. Dynamic sound, and spacious when the music is played 4. When connected to iPad/iPhone, switches to the device and understands where the music is played, best thing is, it transfers to iPhone from iPad when I receive the calls. No other headset provide this. Ok's 1. Microphone is good but not great compared to Sony XM5 2. Bass is missing for some songs compared to Focal Bathys, but its enough for me as I enjoy the dynamic sound on APM

These are amazing on sound is great and to wear and listen to just great product

Great quality, sound is amazing, and very comfortable to wear! So happy with my purchase ❤️
