10/10 sound quality 10/10 noise cancellation 10/10 comfortability 10/10 durability The sound quality surpassed my expectations when watching shows or listening to music. Everything is crispy and clear! Noise cancellation is great, but do keep in mind that if the environment is really loud, you may still hear a bit of it through the headphones. It doesn't bug me too much and helps brings some peace and quiet when necessary. When first receiving the headphones, wearing them cause a bit of soreness cuz I felt like my head was being squished. After wearing them for long periods of time, you kind of break them in and they will become more comfortable that you don't even notice them. Prior to owning the AirPods Max, I owned that AirPods Pros and they were uncomfortable after a few hours of wears. When comparing the two, the Max is definitely the best overall. Every single day I'll pack them in my bag for work and they've held up! Durability is definitely there, and tbh there's really no need to purchase an extra case since it gets really bulky. I had purchased a case only to never use it unless I feel like it's necessary to be used. Its worth the investment!

I've owned the Bose QC series, Sony WH1000XM3 & M4's, Bowers & Wilkins Px8, Panda. The Apple AirPod Max are the best, in terms of clarity and soundstage, I've tried so far. I also owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s - these are wired, but the AirPod Max is the only wireless headphone had even approaches the HD 800 in audio soundstage and overall quality. To note, I do use Apple Music, so I'm sure this only adds to why the AirPod Max's sound so good. The Max's are a bit hefty, but by design, are well balanced - the result is a solid headphone is quite comfortable (I've worn them on a 9 hour flight with no issues). I have to admit that when the return window came, I found that I couldn't live without these.

With headphones I think sound quality is paramount and these offer excellent sound quality compared to the headphones I’ve tried (Sony xm4,Momentum 4,Beats Studio pro). I’m no audiophile but do enjoy sound and these are really nice. The Spatial Audio is surprisingly good. Not all SA songs sound as good as others but some songs will definitely make you turn your heads to see where the sound is coming from. The ANC is really good. I haven’t been on an airplane with these but around the house they really shut the noise out. Transparency mode it’s just like not wearing headphones. Perfect. Some of the negatives are that they are heavier than other headphones but I this hasn’t been an issue at all. The case is kind of a meme at this point. I use it day to day but did buy a 3rd party case for travel as the Apple case isn’t very protective. I hope this help you decide. No regrets here.

I bought my husband these headphones because he wouldn’t buy them for himself. We went on a flight to see family and the noise canceling on these headphones is Amazing!! You can’t hear the sound from the plane itself and there was a few crying children on the flight that he said if you aren’t playing anything, you can’t hear the plane sounds but you can hear the children but as soon as he started some music or a movie, he couldn’t hear the children. He will get a lot of use out of these! Yes, they’re a bit pricey but they work really well! Take not, he read an article that says the headphones work best with Apple products. We mostly use Apple so if you use other brands, it could effect your experience.

Do yourself a favor and pass on these trash headphones. The poor quality headband and “condensation gate” issue should be a dealbreaker enough to pass on these headphones entirely. They are not worth your consideration. The sound quality, ANC, and transparency features are great, but there are critical design flaws that simply cannot be ignored at that $500+ price point. Google “condensation gate” and you will understand why these headphones don’t deserve your hard earned money. Moisture and electronics doesn’t mix. Why on earth would you waste money on a product that has a high likelihood of shorting out soon after the warranty expires? The headband. I can’t even believe they poorly designed such a critical piece of the product. The headband’s support system is made out of (wait for it) MESH!!!!! Think about that folks. All that’s keeping the metal frame of the headphones from painfully resting DIRECTLY on your head is a very thin layer of mesh of which over time begins to sag, and when it does, the consumer instantly goes from having pain in their wallet, to pain on their head as well. I cannot for the life of me understand why they would have designed the headband with such a flimsy support system. Comfort is a serious issue as well. The clamping force coupled with the sheer weight of the headphones is straight up ridiculous. I do not recommend these headphones at all. Not to mention the returns process is PAINFUL. I can only imagine that Apple makes it that way to discourage returns in general for products purchased through AMZ. You could potentially have to wait up to 30 days to get a refund due to Apple’s requirements to return this particular product.

I was planning on ordering another brand and my husband said I should just get the Apple since I have an Apple phone and wow am I glad I did! The sound quality is phenomenal! It’s so comfortable & the noise cancelling is almost scary. The case it comes in is weirdly one of my favorite parks, looks like a little clutch bad. The quality & battery life are great, I haven’t charged it yet since I got them.

The quality of the headphones are superb! The build and sound quality is great. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but works great with other Apple devices.

Sound Quality is awesome and the battery life is great .. they are expensive but just about the same price as every where else. Fit really nice and comfortable

I’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a few days now, and I’m beyond impressed! The sound quality is absolutely top-notch. The clarity and richness of the audio are unmatched, whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls. The spatial audio feature creates an immersive experience, making it feel like the sound is surrounding me. The noise cancellation is phenomenal. It completely blocks out background noise, which is perfect for focusing at work or during travel. The transparency mode is also seamless, allowing me to hear what’s around me without taking off the headphones. Yes, they’re pricey, but in my opinion, they’re worth every penny. If you’re looking for premium sound, comfort, and design, you won’t be disappointed.

Loved them ❤️

Is this a joke? They use these headphones in their marketing material for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, yet they don’t support a wired connection for lossless low-latency playback. I got a ton of different Apple adapters for this, yet NONE of them worked. I tried talking to an Apple representative over the phone and they were 100% useless. I returned this and I’m sticking to my old Lightning AirPods Max (which do support a wired connection).
