    Apple AirPods Max with USB-C Midnight

    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.

    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!

    Great, but heavy and expensive

    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 headphones exceeded my expectations! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and balanced tones, making them perfect for music, podcasts, and calls. They’re incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods, and the build quality feels premium and durable. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for days without needing a recharge. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for high-quality headphones. Well worth the investment!

    I told myself i’d never be able to justify buying these for the price, but they went on sale and I caved. Needless to say, best headphones I have ever used. The noise cancellation is so good I can’t hear a single thing when I turn it on, and it’s almost dangerous. New update for Lossless audio as well made it a large factor to my purchase. I have Beats Studio Pros and honestly, they do not compare. I usually get headaches from them being on my head for long periods of time, but not with these. The mesh really helps with the pressure on your head. Worth my money.

    Before, I really cannot afford to buy this thing back in the Philippines since this is way too expensive and there are way more important things to prioritize than this. But now, my heart is full because finally I have got one since Best Buy offers a great deal. This AirPods Max is superb! Great quality, and very user friendly. It is indeed my great partner when listening to music and watching my favorite YouTube and TikTok videos. Even if you stay long hours using it, it doesn’t give you an uncomfortable feelings to your ears. It gives you a more aesthetic vibe in this modern world. I will really recommend this to everyone. Grab yours since Best Buy also offers you a payment arrangements where you don’t have to pay this item one time. Thank you Best Buy. This is indeed the BEST!!!

    Not Worth It

    I have both the AirPods Max and the Sony XM5, and honestly, the Sony ones are way better. Why? They have better battery life, are more comfortable on my head, and are less expensive. The AirPods Max are very aesthetically pleasing and slightly better noise cancellation, but they start to hurt my head after just 30 minutes of wearing them, and I find myself charging them almost every other day. With my Sony headphones, I can go a month without charging, and they still perform great.

    AirPods Max are the best headphones I’ve ever tried. The quality is top-notch! Apple, as always, delivers premium products. Some people say they’re heavy, but that’s not true. I run and work out in them without any discomfort. The most impressive feature is the active noise cancellation. It’s a lifesaver on flights — you can’t hear the engine noise or crying kids. I highly recommend these to anyone who values comfort, style, and exceptional sound quality.

    The AirPods Max with USB-C offer excellent sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and a luxurious design that makes them comfortable for long listening sessions. However, while they are undeniably a premium product, the difference in quality compared to the AirPods Pro doesn’t feel significant enough to justify their price being double. While I enjoy using them, the value for money might not be compelling for those already satisfied with Apple’s other headphone options.

    AirPods Max Review: Premium Sound, Premium Price The Good: Exceptional Sound Quality: AirPods Max deliver a truly immersive audio experience with rich, detailed sound across the spectrum. Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation: Active Noise Cancellation effectively blocks out distractions, allowing for focused listening. Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking: Creates a 3D soundscape that moves with you, enhancing movies and music. Comfortable Fit: The breathable mesh canopy and soft earcups provide a comfortable fit for extended listening sessions. Seamless Apple Ecosystem Integration: Effortlessly connects with other Apple devices via iCloud. The Bad: Exorbitant Price: AirPods Max come with a hefty price tag, making them a significant investment. Smart Case Offers Limited Protection: The included case provides minimal protection from scratches and impacts. Heavy Weight: Can feel somewhat heavy on the head during prolonged use. Limited Customization: No user-adjustable EQ settings. Overall: AirPods Max are premium headphones that deliver exceptional sound quality and a truly immersive listening experience. However, the high price and limited customization options may deter some buyers. Who are they for? Apple enthusiasts who prioritize a seamless integration with their Apple ecosystem. Audiophiles seeking high-fidelity sound quality and immersive features. Professionals who need to focus in noisy environments. Recommendation: If you're looking for the best-sounding wireless headphones and are willing to pay a premium price, AirPods Max are a strong contender. However, carefully consider your budget and whether the advanced features justify the cost. Note: This is a general overview. Individual experiences may vary.

    AirPod Max, The Ultimate Headphone

    After getting my hands on the Apple AirPods Max in the Midnight colorway, I have to say—they’re worth every bit of the hype. These aren’t just headphones; they’re the perfect companion for travel, studying, and even the gym, making them versatile and high-quality in every situation. Right out of the box, the Midnight color caught my eye. It’s not your typical black; it’s a rich, dark shade with a subtle, almost iridescent finish that looks incredible in any light. This sophisticated look makes them feel timeless and elegant, fitting seamlessly into any setting. When it comes to traveling, the AirPods Max have completely elevated my experience. Recently, on a long-haul flight, I put them on, activated the noise cancellation, and the airplane engine noise faded away almost completely. Apple’s Active Noise Cancellation is phenomenal—I could watch movies or just relax with music without having to turn up the volume. It made the entire flight more peaceful, helping me feel rested when I landed. The design is built for comfort during extended wear; the memory foam ear cushions and breathable mesh headband are so light and soft that I wore them for hours without any discomfort. These headphones transformed my travel experience by letting me fully immerse myself in my music or movies, even in a noisy environment. For studying, they’ve been just as valuable. When I need to focus, I just put them on, switch on the noise-canceling mode, and it’s like the background fades away. Whether I’m in a coffee shop or at home, I can create my own quiet space to concentrate. The sound quality is amazing—rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs—so I can listen to my study playlists with every detail. And if I need to stay a bit aware of what’s happening around me, the Transparency mode is perfect. With a quick switch, I can hear my surroundings while still listening to my music, which is incredibly useful when I’m waiting for something or working in a public place. Surprisingly, the AirPods Max have even held their own in the gym. While they’re larger than typical workout earbuds, they stay secure thanks to the snug fit of the ear cushions, and they’re surprisingly lightweight. The sound quality is motivating, too. Whether I’m running on the treadmill or lifting weights, the rich, immersive audio keeps me pumped up throughout my workout. And since they’re built to handle sweat and movement, they’ve become my go-to for fitness as well. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about the price at first, but after using them, I can see why the AirPods Max are in a league of their own. Apple didn’t just create headphones; they crafted an experience that enhances every part of my day. Whether I’m traveling, studying, or at the gym, these headphones make every activity feel elevated and enjoyable. If you’re considering them, I’d say go for it—the AirPods Max in Midnight are worth every penny and are bound to impress.
