    My experience

    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.

    I recently picked up the AirPods Max in lavender, and I’m really impressed! The pickup process was super easy, and the staff member who helped me out was really friendly, which made the experience even better. The lavender color looks amazing—it’s subtle but unique—and the build quality feels top-notch. They’re comfortable to wear, and the overall design is sleek and stylish. Definitely happy with this purchase!

    These headphones are probably the best headphones I’ve ever had. The noise cancellation is immaculate and the sound makes me feel as if I were in a movie theater. Not only is the sound wonderful, but its design is sleek and the look is great. If I could, I would buy these for my entire family.

    Still a top tier premium headphone

    Despite complaints regarding lack of updated chip etc that may be present in the AirPod pros, the over ear AirPod maxes are a different breed of headphone in the Apple lineup. They took the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach and despite people’s skepticism, this is still a top tier premium headphone. This headphone is in a class of its own regarding luxury listening, being better build quality and a higher price range than the Bose, Sony and Sonos but not so high in price as the Bowers and Wilkins or B & O offerings. This sits in the middle as a premium noise cancelling headphone with premium metal build quality, excellent noise cancellation, best in class transparency mode, rich and detailed sound especially utilizing spatial sound with music and movies, and imo the best looking and most sleek design of any headphone in the market. Adding USB C and the slew of new colors gives this headphone the facelift it needs to continue being a top of the line headphone in the market. The new midnight color is amazing in person. And finally, the AirPods Max as expected fit so seamlessly into the Apple ecosystem that it makes it the best choice no matter how new the other offerings are. Despite the new Sonos Ace having newer bells and whistles as far as tech advancements, the noise cancellation and sound quality is better in my opinion on the AirPods Max still to this day not to mention better looks, build quality and working more seamlessly in the Apple ecosystem. All in all its impressive for a headphone from 2020 to be more than holding its own against newer headphone competitors that have gone through 2 new iterations since then. The minor refresh these new AirPod maxes got are frankly all they needed considering how Apple knocked it out of the park the first time with these. If you are upgrading for usb c and the new colors or you want to get these for the first time, these are definitely a must buy.

    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.
