Frequently asked questions

The term 'Renewed' indicates that these AirPods Max have been previously owned or used and have been restored and tested to work and look like new. They are sold by a third-party refurbisher and not directly from the manufacturer. The refurbishment process typically includes functionality testing, basic cleaning, inspection, and repackaging.

Renewed products usually do not come with the manufacturer warranty because they are sold by third-party vendors. However, they often come with a limited warranty provided by the seller. It's important to check the warranty terms from the seller at the time of purchase.

The AirPods Max are designed to work seamlessly with Apple devices, using Apple's H1 chip, but they can also connect via Bluetooth to other compatible devices. However, some features like Siri activation and spatial audio are exclusive to the Apple ecosystem.

Typically, Renewed AirPods Max come with the headphones themselves, a Smart Case, and a Lightning to USB-C cable. However, it's advised to check the listing details or contact the seller as contents may vary with renewed products.

  • Great pick for Apple ecosystem!
Color: Sky Blue
First let me say I’ve been looking at the APM for months, but I’m a Sony fan. So, I’ve had my Sony WH-1000XM4 for about 2 years. 1st was a refurbished unit and so glad I got the insurance! Something went bad on the left side and it would get ringing feedback increasing in volume until unbearable. Had to send them back 3 times to Asurion who “fixed” them. They didn’t do jack. They did replace the ear pads on the first try with some crappy hard aftermarket ones. Replaced on the second try with the right pads but the feedback issues were still there. 3 times and you can request replacement or refund. I opted for refund and went to Best Buy and got a new pair and in the blue I wanted. They’re wonderful, I love them. Noise cancellation is excellent and after adjusting with their app they sound fantastic to me. But I was still wanting to check out the APM. Price is a bit crazy but I decided to order renewed and insurance again JIC. Now that I’ve had them about 4 days (I’m sorry Sony) I’m in love all over again! They sound absolutely amazing. The spatial audio really works well (Sony has a similar feature but it’s only supported by certain streaming services not including Apple). The soundstage opens up to something really fantastic sounding. Now reasons not to buy and why others may have returned theirs (thank you whoever sent mine back). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, if you don’t have an Apple device to connect to any only android or a PC, DO NOT BUY THESE! You will be seriously disappointed. You won’t be able to EQ them at all unless you use a 3rd party app or your device has EQ built in. I was very disappointed when I first connected and listened so some music, they were not good. Flat sounding with hardly any bass or treble! Like WTF, this can’t be right. Googled some information and instructions on how to properly set up Apple AirPods and the Max. You have to go into settings and go through a hearing test procedure that tunes the EQ specifically to your own ears. Listening to tones very similar to going to an audiologist. The results after that were WOW, what a difference nice broad response, solid bass, not quite as good as Sony who allows EQ from their app and have a special bass enhancement system, but solid and good definition. The soundstage opened up also with any stereo material. Then when you turn on spatial audio it’s WOW again, Apple did a really good job of processing the music and not messing it up. It goes from just headphones to room phones, the sound is around you! You can opt to let the headphones track your head movements or not. If you turn the music stays where it was, but after a few seconds of you don’t turn back they recenter you again. I really held off a long time as the price on these is really extreme compared to what the competition are selling as “equivalents”. The build quality on the Apple really separates them from the pack. With steel headband and aluminum components they should be very durable. Sony and Bose are, well… just plastic. As to lack of folding ability, I really don’t care, 99% of my listening is at home. I use earbuds if I’m outside or working out. The holder is… interesting. Different than what I’m used to but seems to work just fine around the house. Now I’ll try to wrap up with a comment about other reviews complaining about no power cords or chargers…I DON’T CARE!! I HAVE TOO MANY NOW!! lol, really if you have Apple products around you’re going to have a lightning cable and charger somewhere! Then, noise cancellation reaction…can I say WOW again? Really, my Sony are good but these are significantly better. Things I can’t hear or barely heard around the house with Sony that I don’t hear with APM. The TV, my wife, fans, well almost anything! Sony works well but their around ear system still rest on my Dumbo sized ears! lol. The Apple are really around the ear with a little room! This helps with noise control and comfort. And finally, comfort…the Sony are very comfortable but the plastic cups get hot and sweaty after a few minutes. The Apple are much better in that respect. My only criticism I guess would be comfort though. The clamping force on my head is significant by I’m getting used to it. I know my ears are large enough but I don’t think my head is oversized! Not ridiculous but definitely more than Sony, but the do stay in place well. Summary If you have an iPhone or Apple devices to use these with and take the time to set them up properly you’ll be very happy. If you’re not using Apple, WALK AWAY NOW!! 1/17/24 3 months later and the refurbished Max went bad. Could not stay connected with Bluetooth so fortunately within the Amazon return window. Returned, credited and also reimbursed for the Asurion warranty. So, this was bad but I liked them a lot so I went out and picked up a brand new Pro Max. Not using the spatial sound much but the noise cancellation on the Max is awesome! Having foundation repairs done and staying in an upstairs bedroom with these on and I can hardly hear the industrial tools in use. These are far and away the best NC headphones I’ve owned. Still highly recommended but didn’t want to roll the dice on refurbished this time around! ... show more

These are refurbished, but you cannot tell whatsoever they are exactly as if we would have purchased them brand new from Apple. We are so excited.

  • Can’t be beat!
Color: Sky Blue
So I was skeptical about the Airpod Max when they were first introduced. I couldn’t see how they would beat my Bose Quiet Comforts. I mean, Bose is one of the tops, right? Well, they were. My niece and her husband came for a visit and brought their Max’s. I swore I would never spend that much on headphones…and then I listened to theirs. OMG!! With the spacial sound recently introduced by Apple, these things are absolutely amazing! I just knew my wife wouldn’t let me order them with the hefty price tag though…then she listened to them. She had me order this pair for us to share. I get them on the weekdays at work, she gets them during her craft times at home while I tend to the kids. (So she can’t hear them) The noise cancellation is by far the best I have ever experienced. The pass thru option let’s you still hear around you if needed as well. And the sound quality, these can’t be beat. They are seriously amazing! I was concerned getting a renewed set, but for the savings I gave it a shot and I wasn’t disappointed. They’re brand new. No scratches, nothing missing from the box. No complaints at all here…other than I wish we had two pairs! 😉 If you’re on the fence, order these. You won’t be disappointed! ... show more

  • Complete junk
Color: Sky Blue
Bought these for my son for Christmas and they last less than a month. No support, no way to exchange or refund, we went to Apple and our only option is to spend another $400 to exchange for new ones. Save your money and go straight to Apple where you get warranty!

  • For what they are… they are perfect.
Color: Sky Blue
I hate the case. I hate lightening charging. I love the sound quality. I love the intuitive aspects from an Apple product. Referb version here. And I enjoy them. They are a great tool when ANC and spatial audio is required.

  • They are the best for my use case.
Color: Sky Blue
I finally had a use case that I felt justified the price. I am a woodworker and like to listen to music, I had been using a speaker system that was fine, but I would often turn off my dust collection in between cuts to listen to the music. then I would forget to turn it back on. With the AirPods Max, I leave the fans running all the time. The noise cancellation is great and eliminates 99% of the fan noise. It is comfortable enough to wear for a full day in the shop and the music sounds great. If I am doing something like routing where I need to hear the bit to tell if the cut is good, I hit the button to go into transparency mode. I am sorry I waited so long to buy these, they are exactly what I needed in the shop and my lungs and ears will be forever gratefull. ... show more
