  • Can’t “unhear” these and be satisfied with anything else again. GET THEM if you can!
Color: Blue Set: Without AppleCare+
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). ... show more

  • Simply Incredible—Even for a Longtime Bose Fan
Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
I’ve always been a Bose guy, with three different versions of their over-ear noise-canceling headphones under my belt, and I’ve loved them all. But I bought the Apple AirPods Max in gold for my wife, and now I’ve got to admit—I have headphone envy. These are simply AMAZING. The sound quality is out of this world, rich and balanced across all ranges. The active noise cancellation is top-tier, easily the best I’ve ever experienced. The quality of construction feels incredibly premium—top-shelf materials everywhere you look. The fit is also excellent: comfortable for long sessions without pinching or pressure, which is rare for over-ears. Connectivity is seamless with Apple devices—fast, intuitive, and hassle-free every single time. Battery life is strong, lasting around 20 hours, which is more than enough for long travel days or extended listening sessions. And while I picked up the gold version (which my wife loves), I have to say the other colors look extremely cool as well. They travel well, they’re intuitive to use, and honestly, there just aren’t enough superlatives for these headphones. I "borrow" them every chance I get. ... show more

  • Great product, highly recommend!
Color: Starlight Set: Without AppleCare+
These are premium headphones and they sound amazing. They have great ANC and are super comfortable. They pair perfectly with the Apple ecosystem, and while they are a little pricey, the build quality and experience make them worth it.

  • Tournament Travel Just Got More Tolerable
Color: Midnight Set: Without AppleCare+
Long drives to tournaments used to mean hours of terrible car speakers or uncomfortable earbuds digging into ears. My son got AirPods Max for his birthday, and honestly, they've transformed those road trips completely. The active noise cancellation is genuinely impressive. Highway noise, other passengers talking, the constant drone of traffic—all of it just disappears. He can actually focus on music, podcasts, or audiobooks without that exhausting mental effort of filtering out background noise. After six hours in the car, that makes a real difference in how tired he feels arriving at tournaments. The comfort factor surprised me. I expected headphones that expensive to be finicky about fit, but these settle onto his head naturally without requiring constant adjustment. The padding feels luxurious without being hot or sweaty, which matters during warm car rides. He'll wear them for hours without complaining about discomfort or ear fatigue—something cheaper headphones never managed. Transparency mode is genuinely useful. He can switch to hearing the actual world instantly when someone needs his attention. No yanking headphones off awkwardly. That seamless transition between isolation and awareness actually gets used constantly, especially when we're coordinating tournament logistics or he needs to pay attention to navigation. The spatial audio with personalized settings creates an almost 3D listening experience. Music sounds richer and more immersive than standard headphones. For someone spending hours on the road or relaxing between games, that quality matters. Streaming games or watching highlight videos sounds substantially better. The USB-C charging is fast and convenient. No hunting for proprietary cables. Everything integrates seamlessly with his other devices. The build quality feels genuinely premium. After months of tournament travel, constant packing and unpacking, these look and perform exactly like day one. No creaks, no degradation, nothing falling apart. Tournament season gets long and exhausting. These headphones make the downtime between games genuinely enjoyable instead of just tolerable. Worth every penny.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
