5.0 out of 5 stars Most comfortable headphones EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024
I’ve never been able to find a pair of headphones that don’t hurt my ears. I’ve tried dozens of different types of headphones over the years. The ones that I can manage to tolerate never stayed in well.

Enter the AirPods Max! The noise cancellation quality for a pair of over the ear headphones is superb! Way better than I expected. I LOVE the fact that you can adjust the volume on the actual headphones and turn the noise cancellation on or off as well. The fact that you can take the ear cover off to wash it is amazing. The sound quality is good. Phone call quality is good. Battery life is good. They’re very pretty.

Most importantly these are SO COMFORTABLE! I’ve even slept in them. I can’t stand to be without them to be honest. My ears don’t hurt at all no matter how long I wear them and that is something I was never able to say until now.

For the price, I wish they were water resistant so I can take them paddle boarding and kayaking but that’s my only “complaint”

5.0 out of 5 stars The most impressive headphones I’ve ever owned.

As you can see, I have an array of headphones that I use for different reasons. I also love them all for different reasons, but the Apple AirPods Max are the most impressive thing I’ve ever heard music come through.

I wanted them from the day they dropped. Actually, I wanted them from the day they were announced in the Keynote presentation. I couldn’t afford them, because who can? When I got a job eight months ago that came with a generous home office stipend as part of the compensation package, I knew that these headphones would soon be mine.

The noise cancellation is out of this world. I used to wear Bose Quiet Comforts every single day, and thought that the noise cancellation on those was good. I’m not saying that it wasn’t good, but after experiencing that feature on these headphones, I could never go back. I also absolutely love that with the push of a button, you can switch from noise cancellation to transparency mode, which not only turns noise cancellation off, but uses a group of different microphones to bring the outside world into your headphones, almost like hearing aids. I am hard of hearing, and I really appreciate that feature.

The headphones are a little heavy, which took some getting used to. My Bose headphones were incredibly light and at times I forgot I was wearing them. You definitely don’t want to accidentally fall asleep with these on, because you will absolutely have a headache when you wake up. That is honestly the only negative thing that I can come up with, however.

I prefer my regular AirPods 3rd generation when I’m cleaning or walking my dog, as well as when I’m outside, but otherwise, these are my go to headphones. The microphone is incredible! All of my colleagues say that I sound super clear in meetings, and when I am FaceTimeing with family or talking to someone that I’m gaming with I’ve only heard the same. I generally use my Kraken Kitty headset for gaming, but I’ve definitely busted out the AirPods Max as well.

Obviously, there’s also no ignoring that if you’re already fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem, the convenience that comes with buying these instead of a different brand is undeniable. Being able to switch from your iPhone to your iPad to your MacBook and back to your iPhone during phone calls and while listening to music — seamlessly without having to worry about pairing — is incredibly smooth and enjoyable. It’s also great to be able to see your battery life on your screen. They also pair without issue with devices outside of the Apple ecosystem, like the Nintendo Switch!

I am well aware of the fact that most people can’t just up and decide to buy a set of headphones like this, but if you’ve had them in your cart, or on a wish list for a while, and you have been saving up, but afraid to make the leap, just go ahead and leap! You won’t regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Versatility: AirPods Max for Business & Leisure!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2024
The Apple AirPods Max are a game-changer for both professional settings and casual listening. Initially purchased for work meetings, their exceptional quality quickly made them a household favorite for music and videos as well. The sound clarity is unmatched, they integrate effortlessly with other Apple devices, and the battery life stands out. Whether for business or pleasure, these headphones deliver beyond expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the best of both worlds!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, aesthetic, perfect noise cancellation
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024
I love my new AirPod Max headphones. I was sitting on this purchase for over a year due to the insane price tag. Yes, they're expensive- so when I saw they were $100 off on Amazon I got them. It was the lowest price I've seen it on sale for. These headphones are very much worth your money. The quality of the sound and hardware is impressive. When I first tried it out I was still a bit skeptical if it was worth my hard earned money... until I tested out the noise cancellation. I go to a very busy gym in a big city! It is very loud in the gym and the second I put these on with noise cancellation on mode- WOW! I told my husband I'm keeping these and not returning. Music sounds impeccable, it's comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to look at/wear. If you're on the fence about these consider your needs. I use these mainly at the gym and at my office cubicle job. I don't want to hear anyone or be distracted by other noises. They're comfortable for hours of wear and the battery lasts 20+ hours fully charged. I love them. They even stand up on their own when properly put in the smart case! Room saver :D

5.0 out of 5 stars Prime Day Buy
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024
I got this on one of the Prime day sales for $394. Totally worth it at that price. Excellent sound when at work and listening to music or podcasts. After about 4 months of use, there is some strange staining on the band, it's greyish and came out of nowhere. Overall great sound quality, I love I can remove the ear pads for cleaning. I think it's worth a buy on sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way better than I expected
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2024
I was torn between getting these or some BOSE headphones and decided on this. Best decision ever! Really well made and sound awesome for what my needs are. They are on the heavy side of headphone but aren’t over baring. My favorite thing about them is how easy they connect to all of my Apple devices and the battery life is pretty great, just know you have to put them in the case for it to go to sleep. I won’t be needing to buy headphones for a long time with these.
