  • I love them, but not likely worth the super premium price unless you're 100% Apple
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
I struggled for a while to convince myself I should pay the massive premium for the AirPods Max. I pulled the trigger and don't really regret it. The major, major pro is they actually seamlessly switch from my MacBook to iPad to iPhone. Connectivity is very reliable. I recently switched from windows to Mac, and not sure that was the right call, but some of MacBook features maybe make up for the 30 years of windows familiarity. I say that because without a MacBook for daily work use, I'd have less conviction on the reason to spend so much on headphones. The switching is super valuable for teams/zooms on laptop and then phone calls, or listening to podcasts on laptop or tv shows on iPad then phone calls. In terms of ease of use, they are super easy. Just put on your head and all your devices activate and are ready to use. They are also comfortable. Other headsets I've had issues at the top of my head with the crossbar becoming uncomfortable after a while, which isn't the case with these. Sound quality is quite good. Is it worth the premium to other high end headphones like Bose or Sony that get rated high, I'm not sure. My guess is not really. The Spatial Audio is weird. I love the idea, but not sure it seems immersive when my eyes are looking at a 13" laptop or 11" iPad, though it's fun to play with and hear the sound exclusively in my left ear when I look right and vice versa. Noise cancelling is very good. Again, worth the premium, probably not. Music is great to listen to, but while I have a decent ear for sound, I'm certainly not an audiophile. Transparency mode is incredible. First few times I used it I was very impressed. Genuinely feels like you don't have headphones on. One subtle exception is on a plane. That's where you can tell it's done with microphones because when using it, the ambient noise can somewhat drown out the person you actually want to talk to. It can be better just to take it off one ear. Color and styling are great, as you would expect from Apple. It's probably stating the obvious, but all all attributes are significantly better than ear buds. I've had AirPod pros, Beats Studio and cheap ones and there just is no comparison. I fly almost weekly and also decided that the large form factor was worth it because I'm 99% confident I won't leave them behind, which I have done with buds. They also never fall off like buds. It's quite possible I have an odd shaped head, but the buds never EVER work for phone calls unless I'm in a stationary quiet place. Outside or hotel lobby, forget it I have to use wired or the handset. So I'm done with them. Doesn't seem to be an issue with the AirpodMax. Though I can definitely say they are not 100% reliable when in movement in places like a dog walk or airport, where I've experienced issues being heard. Not as bad as the buds, but still frustrating given the price point. ... show more

  • Gorgeous, premium, and totally Apple but not for everyone
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
I got the AirPods Max in Starlight, and wow the color is absolutely gorgeous in person. It has that sleek, luxurious feel that just screams Apple. I was very reluctant to buy these because of the price tag, but after using them, I personally think they were worth it. That said, they definitely won’t be for everyone at this price point. The build quality is top-tier. They feel incredibly premium, and the design is stunning. Super comfortable too, even during long listening sessions. The noise cancellation and spatial audio are next level. The only downside? No power button. It’s annoying having to rely on the case to trigger low power mode. If you’re an Apple fan and want the full premium experience, this is it just be ready for the hit to your wallet. ... show more

  • Another Great Apple Product
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
I am a huge fan of Apple products and skipped on the AirPod Max's for a couple years because of the higher price point. Once I finally gave in, I did not regret it. These are some amazing headphones. The durability, materials and then the customization options are amazing. Unboxing this product was fun - Apple does a great job of packaging their items so that you know that you are getting a quality product. I was initially disappointed with the sound quality - expectations were high - but I found a video that gave some pointers for getting the most out of the headphones and it helped drastically. I recommend doing some research and adjusting the settings to optimize the sound quality. Battery life is great 1-2 days of moderate use and your Apple products will show the battery level. Like with other AirPod models, the Max's directly connect to your current device and will switch devices when you do. Another great product. ... show more

  • Favorite headphones!!
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
I’m obsessed. The color is so cute and the quality is amazing. I’ve tried so many headphones and the sound quality in these is by far the best. The noise cancelling is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a better pair of headphones!

Perfect! My daughter needed them for studying. She loves them. She says they cancel out all noise. The best earphones to shut out the world! Comfortable, stylish, and coming in a variety if colors.

  • Worth it
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
Over the past year, I’ve tried countless earphones and headphones, trying to avoid the high price tag of Apple’s. I finally gave in and ordered a pair since I’m on calls constantly—and honestly, no complaints. The sound quality, comfort, and seamless experience are all top-notch. While I was hesitant about spending $500 upfront, part of me wishes I had made the leap sooner. ... show more

  • High-Fidelity Performance with Excellent ANC – Battery Solid, Case Lacks Protection
Style: USB-C Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
The AirPods Max deliver exceptional audio performance with a wide soundstage, precise instrument separation, and impressive clarity across lows, mids, and highs. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is industry-leading, effectively eliminating ambient noise, while the transparency mode provides a natural and clear passthrough for environmental awareness. Battery life averages around 20 hours per charge with ANC enabled, which is competitive in its class. Integration with the Apple ecosystem is seamless—instant pairing, audio handoff, and spatial audio with dynamic head tracking are standout features for users within the Apple environment. The only drawback is the Smart Case. While it complements Apple’s minimalist design philosophy, it offers minimal structural protection. A more robust case would be ideal for travel or long-term durability. Overall, the AirPods Max are a premium, technically impressive option for audiophiles and Apple users seeking a high-performance wireless over-ear solution. ... show more

This was a must bar for such a great deal. The battery life is excellent, easy to set up. The quality is great. It connected instantly not to mention it’s almost like not even having it on. They are so lightweight. This was a great fond highly recommend.
