We’ve had these since December 2024, so this isn’t one of those reviews written after using them for a day or two. These are actually my daughter’s headphones, and she wears them pretty much 24/7. If she’s awake, they’re usually on her head. After almost 19 months of daily use, I figured it was time to come back and leave an update because that’s the kind of review I would’ve wanted before spending this much money. I wasn’t expecting them to be as comfortable as they are. They have a little weight to them, but once you put them on they feel like a firm, cushioned pillow around your ears. I’ve only borrowed them a handful of times because they’re hers, but I could’ve worn them way longer without them bothering me. The mesh headband also still looks brand new. It hasn’t stretched out or started sagging at all. The sound quality is honestly insane. The bass is deep, everything sounds crystal clear, and they get really loud without that scratchy, painful sound you get from a lot of cheaper headphones. Even when the volume is cranked up, they somehow still sound smooth and don’t make your ears hurt. Also there’s barely any sound leakage. Even when my daughter has them turned up pretty loud, you really can’t hear what she’s listening to unless you’re wearing them yourself. That was actually surprising because a lot of headphones start leaking sound once the volume gets high. Battery life has been crazy too. Even if they aren’t fully charged, they just keep going. There have been times my daughter has gone days without charging them and they still had battery left. We’ve never felt like we’re constantly reaching for the charger. If you already have an iPhone, they couldn’t be easier to use. She literally puts them on and they’re connected. No opening Bluetooth settings, no reconnecting, nothing. They just work. I also like that the ear cups rotate flat, so putting them back in the case is quick and easy. As far as durability goes, I honestly have nothing bad to say. After almost 19 months of daily use, there aren’t any paint chips, the ear cushions have kept their shape, the mesh headband still looks great, and they still work exactly like they did when we bought them. The audio did sound a little weird twice over the last year and a half, but messing with the settings fixed it both times and it hasn’t happened since. The only “downside”…and honestly it isn’t even really a downside…is how freakishly good the noise cancellation is. 😂 It actually creeps me out. If my daughter has these on, I can completely forget about yelling for her because she genuinely can’t hear me. Even if she isn’t listening to music, she barely hears anything around her. Once the music starts? Forget it. I either have to text her or walk into her room to get her attention. It’s annoying as a parent, but I can’t even complain because that’s exactly what they’re supposed to do. I know they’re expensive, and I remember wondering if they were really worth spending that much on a pair of headphones. After watching my daughter use them almost every single day for the last 19 months, I’d say they’re worth every penny. If something happened to these tomorrow, we’d be buying another pair without thinking twice.

I thought I was happy with my Bose Q35, but after accidentally losing it, I went and tried the AirPods Max. I personally at first thought the price is kind of ridiculous but I just lost my Bose, and there was a sale going on for Apple online when I purchased this. Anyways, I had to try them out first at an Apple store and within 30 seconds of testing them at the Apple Store (surrounded by at least 80 noisy humans), I had a full-on “where have you been all my life” moment. The noise cancellation is unreal , and although not absolute silence, it was pretty darn close enough that it feels like I’m in my own private movie theater. I'm no expert, but it beat my old lost Bose I'm pretty confident. Then I turned on Transparency Mode, and suddenly I could hear everything.The sound quality? Chef’s kiss. Every note is crisp, rich, and perfectly balanced almost like your favorite song just got remastered by angels. It connect automatically with my iPhone and function the transfer from iPhone to iPad to iMac seamlessly. And comfort-wise, Apple clearly did their homework. I’ve worn these for 3-hour stretches, workouts, Netflix marathons, and “just one more song” sessions that turn into entire albums. No ear pain, no head pressure and they are easily adjustable really plush feel. Yes, they’re expensive. Yes, I hesitated. But now? Every other pair of headphones I own has been officially demoted to “guest use.” The purple finish is sleek, classy, and just different enough to stand out with a little uniqueness without screaming for attention. If you’re on the fence and your budget allow it, or with Black Friday coming, just take the plunge and buy it. You’ll thank yourself every time you hit play.

Overall still your best option even in 2025. As a medical student who's used them 12 hours a day for a few months of use here is my review. Transparency mode is the best on the market, noise cancellation is also outstanding. The accommodating ear cups are very comfortable unlike the shallow cups of the Sony MX6s. The build quality is second to none. The sound quality is exceptional and more vivid and immersive than AirPods pro 3 thanks to the bigger more capable drivers. Even with that being said I would have loved if they updated this 2024 release with the H2 chip, a lighter design, and better battery life/ANC, but even still they are on top. If you have more than two apple products like say a mac and iPhone and want headphones (not ear buds) these are a no brainer. I use my AirPods pro 3 for working out and phone calls but these for long study sessions as the silicon tips of AirPods build up ear wax after some time and for that reason are uncomfortable for me for extended use. I don't feel the weight becomes an issue for long use, but I do take them off for at least 5 mins an hour so I can take a quick break. I will say out the box they are quite tight but you can modify that search on google "Finally solved the AirPods Max clamping force tightness" and read the post on that. After stretching them out on my 15 hour study days I wear them about 12 hours. The 20 hour battery life for my purposes is excellent. They go into low battery mode after 5 minutes of not being on, even when not in the case, however the low power mode is slightly more efficient in the case as the bluetooth turns off, but this is negligible, and overall I will say the idle battery life is amazing. As far as the smart case, I like it, it's simple and effective, but its not fully protective so I wouldn't be throwing your AirPods in a bag with anything sharp that can damage the mesh headband. I also would be careful to order a light colored one if you wear anything on your skin often or expect them to get dirty/stained. Overall very happy with these airpods and use them everyday when I study.

I bought these AirPods Max in the new Midnight color as a Christmas present to myself after years of using cheaper over-ear headphones. I was hesitant about the price, but after three weeks of daily use, I completely understand what you're paying for. The sound quality is incredible. I'm not an audiophile, but I immediately noticed details in songs I've listened to a hundred times - background vocals, subtle guitar riffs, layered instruments I never caught before. Everything sounds crisp and balanced, not overly bass-heavy like some headphones. I've been re-listening to my entire library just to hear what I've been missing. Active Noise Cancellation is legitimately impressive. I used them on a flight to visit family over the holidays, and the plane noise just disappeared. At home, I can't hear my roommate's TV through the wall anymore. The Transparency mode is perfect for when someone talks to you - just press the Digital Crown and you can hear normally without taking them off. The fit is comfortable for long sessions. The memory foam cushions feel premium and the headband distributes weight well. I wore them for a 6-hour work session and never felt pressure or discomfort. The knit-mesh canopy on top is a nice touch - no cheap plastic feel. The USB-C charging is convenient since I can use the same cable as my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Battery life has been solid - I charge them maybe twice a week with 2-3 hours of daily use. Setup was instant with my iPhone - just held them near my phone and they paired immediately. Switching between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook is seamless. I'll be listening on my laptop, pick up my phone, and the audio automatically switches over. The Digital Crown is intuitive for volume and playback control. Way better than fumbling with touch controls that never register right. Only minor complaint: they're heavy compared to plastic headphones. After 4+ hours, I notice the weight. Also, the Smart Case doesn't fully protect them - it's more decorative than functional. I'm careful about where I set them down. If you're on the fence because of price, I'd say wait for a sale. But if you use headphones daily and want the best audio experience, these are absolutely worth it. Made my Christmas morning playlist sound magical.

These Apple AirPods Max are definitely a premium product, and after using them, I can say they live up to the hype. This is an easy 5-star review for me. From the moment you take them out of the box, they feel like a high-end piece of audio equipment. The design, materials, sound quality, comfort, and overall user experience all come together in a way that feels polished and genuinely impressive. The first thing that stands out is the build quality. These do not feel like cheap plastic headphones at all. They feel substantial, durable, and extremely well made, with a premium finish that immediately sets them apart from many other wireless headphones. The Starlight color looks beautiful too. It has a clean, elegant look that feels modern and upscale without being flashy. Sound quality is where these really shine. The audio is rich, detailed, and immersive, with a very balanced sound profile. Music comes through with excellent clarity, strong but controlled bass, crisp mids, and clear highs. Whether listening to vocals, podcasts, movies, or bass-heavy tracks, everything sounds refined and full. These are the kind of headphones that make you notice little details in songs that you may not have picked up on before. The active noise cancellation is outstanding. It does an excellent job of blocking out background noise and creating a more focused listening experience. Whether you are at home, on a plane, in an office, or dealing with everyday household noise, the noise cancellation makes a real difference. It helps create that isolated, immersive feeling that you want from premium over-ear headphones. On the other hand, Transparency Mode is equally impressive and very natural sounding. When you need to hear what is going on around you, it lets outside sound in clearly without making everything feel artificial or awkward. Personalized Spatial Audio is another feature that makes these feel especially high-end. It adds a wider, more theater-like soundstage when watching movies or listening to supported content, and it makes the whole experience feel more immersive. It is one of those features that sounds like a gimmick on paper until you actually use it and realize how much it adds. Comfort is also very good for over-ear headphones. The ear cushions feel soft, the fit feels secure, and the design distributes weight better than expected. They do feel more substantial than lighter headphones, but the materials and fit help keep them comfortable for long listening sessions. Once adjusted properly, they feel stable and well designed. Apple’s ecosystem integration is one of the biggest advantages here. Pairing is incredibly simple, switching between Apple devices is smooth, and everything feels intuitive. If you already use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, these headphones fit right into that setup with almost no friction. That convenience adds a lot to the overall value because the experience is so seamless and easy to use. Battery life has been solid, and the USB-C charging is a welcome update. That makes charging more convenient and keeps things more in line with the rest of modern devices. Controls are also easy to use and feel more precise than awkward touch controls found on some other headphones. The only real downside is that these are expensive, and they are definitely a premium-priced product. They also are not the lightest over-ear headphones on the market, which may matter to some people depending on personal comfort preferences. But in terms of quality, functionality, ease of use, and overall performance, they absolutely feel like a top-tier product. Overall, these are a great value for the price if you want premium wireless headphones that are easy to use, very functional, beautifully made, and deliver excellent sound. Between the fantastic audio quality, powerful noise cancellation, seamless Apple integration, and premium construction, these are absolutely worthy of 5 stars.

I’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a while now, and they truly feel like a luxury pair of headphones. From the moment you take them out of the box, the build quality stands out. The aluminum ear cups and mesh headband feel incredibly premium, and everything about them looks and feels high-end. Sound quality is the biggest highlight. The bass is deep and controlled, the mids are clear (especially vocals), and the highs are crisp without being harsh. The soundstage is wide and immersive, which makes music, movies, and even gaming feel more cinematic. The active noise cancellation is excellent—it blocks out background noise like traffic, airplanes, and people talking. Transparency mode is also very natural, so you can hear what’s going on around you without taking the headphones off. If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the Apple ecosystem integration is amazing. They connect instantly, switch between devices automatically, and Spatial Audio with head tracking makes movies and music feel like surround sound. Battery life is solid at around 20 hours with noise cancellation on. They’re also very comfortable, though they are heavier than some other headphones, which you might notice during very long listening sessions

Take my review with a grain of salt and or from a super picky perspective. These headphones are incredible. From the build quality, the feel, the fit, and the finish, they are worth the hefty price tag. The sound is bold with an open sound stage, medium bass at lower volumes and super punchy full bodied bass at higher volumes. The bass is not overwhelming and adds that “feel” to the music you are listening to without distortion. The issue I have is that these did not meet my expectations. I did not expect something BETTER, but I expected something DIFFERENT. I read reviews and heard feedback from some people I know and I created an expectation of my own as to what to expect with these headphones. Of course with them being Apple, they have to be great, which was true. From what I expected, the best way I can compare is when you go to an electronics store and see a super high quality QLED 4K LED Ultra HD tv in cinematic mode playing a movie and you can just tell that the scenes in the movie are on a stage or a set and you can see the layers to it, that is kind of what I expected from these headphones. I expected a super dynamic sound stage, I expected to hear each instrument and sound around me instead of layered, and to feel that I was in an open room. But that is what you’d expect from a different type of headphone. This is solely what I thought to expect, but not what I got. The takeaway from that is that my expectations were just different but I was not let down at all. I am returning them and going to do more research on what type of sound I am looking for. All in all, if you’re unlike me and my wild mind that doesn’t create images of things before you buy them, you will love these headphones. The aluminum is beautiful, the mesh on the headband feels like a cloud, and the sound and noice cancelling is spectacular. My only true gripe about the design is that when you take them off and want to put them on your neck, the bare aluminum might be uncomfortable on your collar bones. You might want to turn the ear cups and fold them flat, but they fold outward from your body and you have the whole metal body resting in your collar bones. I just wish they would fold in the other way so the ear cushions are resting on your body. And one last bit is since they fold that way, the aluminum ear cups, when folded will clank against each other and can cause scratches over time. Again, this is my extremely picky review on these headphones, but you’re probably a normal person and will love them, so please do buy them. You will not regret it!

I am a certified audio engineer for music/films so this review is coming from that perspective. EXEC SUMMARY: if this fits in your budget or you can stretch these, GET THEM! Omg! The sound. The comfort. The battery life. Wow. Now onto the specifics. I’ll start with the one negative I’ve consistently read/heard from reviews: the weight. They are noticeably heavy taking them out of the box. BUT- not a worry. You will never feel this weight wearing them b/c they are SO COMFY. You actually do forget that there is even a headband (probably the biggest reason they are so comfy, but the extra large cans also as it never interferes with your ear). As i write this now I’ve been wearing these for 18 straight hours. Still don’t feel them or am cognizant of them being on beyond the sound coming into my ear (and especially with Spatial Audio since it mimics the audio as if it’s coming from your surroundings). CLARITY: We’ll start with the sound first (why we buy these things right?) UNREAL. As a certified audio engineer i can’t believe this sound is possible from headphones. Imagine the best surround sound experience in a theatre you ever experienced- believe it or not this is even better than that. The sub-woofer effect is better than any sub-woofer experience I’ve had regardless of form or venue or location. That’s “holy cow how is that possible” component #1. #2 is the spec i read that convinced me to get these- automatic multi-band compression. This is stuff only the most advanced audio engineers do but so complicated and easily F’s up your mix even if everything else is perfect. Basically different components to sound are where different things sit mostly, like vocals, high ends, sub-woof rumbles, filler/thickness of sound. Those are what the “bands” mean. To automate and smooth out each band/category so it’s always at the optimal level is just… freaking next level. Most audio engineers dont’ even touch this (myself included) it’s so intricate. THESE HEADPHONES DO IT AUTOMATICALLY! And yeah.. wow. The cleanest, clearest, yet deepest, thickest, intricate sound I’ve ever experienced. CONNECTIVITY: can’t speak for droids as i am apple ecosystem. It auto detects if you put these on or not and that’s better than the earbuds who connect as soon as you take them out of the case/charger. it immediately disconnects and stops when yo lift them off your ears. Nice. FUNCTIONALITY: Apple ecosystem-ish here too. I prefer HEY SIRI which I’ll explain later. One weird thing is this. Sometimes when I’m playing a DOLBY ATMOS or surround selection, the settings say “SPATIAL AUDIO NOT AVAILABLE” and is greyed out as if it’s off, yet it’s actually clearly working and on. So if you’re a Spatial Audio person and turn it on, just know it is always working when anything is actually mixed to be so- no worries. CONTROL BUTTONS: The one gripe i have is here. The volume scroll button is way too easy to accidentally touch and thus I’ve turned up the volume quite a bit many times not meaning to. HEY SIRI works great so i just do that instead. 2 buttons: operation (scroll wheel for volume that is also a button for music/phone control- start/stop/forward/back or answer/end/hold, etc), mode button (noise cancellation enable/disable/off <- to save battery). But everything except Spatial Audio (that i can tell) can be done via HEY SIRI. DURABILITY: obviously i can not test this having these for less than 24 hrs but what I CAN say is what everybody else has said- the quality of build and materials is OBVIOUS. No plastic. The fabric/flexi headband is not only comfortable but also won’t disfigure or crack or break. Other parts are metal so will hold up better also. And because it’s so comfy you won’t need to be adjusting or moving it like you do most other ones (or at least i do) so less touching and adjusting means less human wear and tear. Oh and i love that the actual ear pieces are magnetic which means if either ear piece/speakers go bad, it probably means we can buy replacements and keep these going as long as we want without needing to buy a whole new set down the road. LOVE IT! SUMMARY: yeah. If you can afford or splurge- so way and above better than anything else I’ve tried. And I’ve tried a lot over the years (mostly earbuds). My go to previous to this (and will now use as my gym set) are the Bose QuiteComforts. They don’t even compare in sound, comfort, battery life, controls, build quality, noise cancellation/isolation, and just that “it factor” in experience. IMMEDIATELY noticeable. And that’s from a certified audio engineer of music/film perspective. WHO WON’T LIKE THESE: those that want boomy boomy heavy bass (as most people do). These are just as deep and thick, but tighter and cleaner so you can “hear the frequencies better” rather than have any frequencies “muddy” up other frequencies and cross lines. It’s’ an audio engineering thing. lol. But even those people may appreciate just how awesome these sound in the low end especially come movie watching time (you can still clearly hear vocals and high end without the boomy bass muddying what people are saying).
