Frequently asked questions
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in AirPods Max is a feature that helps to block out environmental noise, enabling you to focus on what you are listening to. The AirPods Max's ANC uses six outward-facing microphones to detect noise in your surroundings and two inward-facing microphones to measure what you're hearing. It then creates an 'anti-noise' that counters and cancels out the background noise.
Transparency mode in AirPods Max is a unique feature that allows outside noise in so that you can simultaneously listen to music while still being aware of your surroundings. It's perfect for situations where you need to listen to announcements, have a quick conversation, or just want to stay alert to your environment.
Personalized Spatial Audio in AirPods Max is a feature that creates a theater-like sound experience for the listener. It utilizes dynamic head tracking to place sound virtually anywhere in a space, creating an immersive, surround sound experience. It also adjusts according to the movement of your head and device for a consistent sound field.
AirPods Max are compatible with all iPhone models that run iOS 14.3 or later. This includes iPhone 8 and all later models.

Should I Buy It?
If you're an Apple user looking for high-quality headphones with superior sound, seamless integration, and aren't bothered by the high price tag, then the AirPods Max are a fantastic choice. Just bear in mind the minor issues with comfort during prolonged use and potential lack of heavy bass.
I have many sets of headphones, some very nice ones, and these stand alone in terms of being something different - there is so much tech jammed into these, it makes them very different than anything else on the market. Sound - Sound quality on these is very good, very clean. Personally I'd like a lot more bass, but even someone who isn't a basshead would still probably like more bass. They're not weak or anything on the low end side, and booming bass is there, it's just too much in the background for my tastes. If stupid iOS just gave you an EQ, you could probably easily fix this, and some of the sound profiles you do get can hep, but for the love of everything, just give me a stupid EQ so I can choose the sound I want. In any case, again, the sound is very good, very clean. I'd say it's pretty easily better than my Bose QC25 but not on-par with my Beyerdynamic DT 990 open backed headphones (which I still think are the best headphones I've heard and I've compared them against sets costing well over $1k). But these headphones are about a lot more than sound, and that's why they go up to 5-stars... Sound Field/Stage - The sound stage on these, the openness of the sound, is amazing for closed back headphones. When you're playing music that supports Apples spatial sound (everything in Apple Music for example) it's incredible, it really feels/sounds natural a lot of the time. I've used other 'virtual surround' garbage, and it's terrible, but whatever Apple is doing, it works. My favorite thing is that you can set your phone in front of you, then walk around, and it sounds like the sound is coming from the direction of the iPhone, so it gives you this incredible sense of space (and it does not hurt the sound quality - for most music it sounds better in my opinion). This is something you really have to experience to understand as I don't know of anyone else that does this - and it's really impressive in person. Noise Cancelling - Absolutely top notch. Between the good fit of the headphones and the actual tech, you can block out a ton of stuff, they work better than my Bose QC25's, that still were best in class as of a year ago. Also, for the cry babies, I do not notice the pressure effect - it might be there still, but it's not nearly as noticeable as the Bose. Battery Life - Seems to be excellent. Only downside is it uses an iPhone plug, not USB C. I still have and need an iPhone plug so it's not a huge deal at the moment, but for the future, when it's all USB C, this is going to become a pain. Comfort - It's pretty comfortable. I heard lots of people say these are big and heavy and uncomfortable, and while they are big and heavy, for me at least they're pretty comfortable. Those Beyerdynamic DT 990 are amazingly comfortable, can wear them for hours, that's not the case here. But compared to my Bose QC25, I can wear the AirPods Max for longer without any issues. Still, it's not like the comfort of earbuds, which I can wear all day, but for big over the ear headphones, the Max's are pretty good. Build Quality - Top notch in my opinion, make everything else I've ever used, anything else I've ever even tried, feel plasticky and cheap. Wireless - No lag, no drops, works great. I wish they had upped the bandwidth so you could carry stuff like fully uncompressed audio, like blu-ray audio, but probably have to wait for V2 for that. With that said, I've never really noticed anything, everything sounds full with no compression. Obviously that isn't the case, but just saying, I do not notice any negatives as far as wireless goes. Overall, 5-stars. The sound, with less bass than I'd like and with no EQ in iOS, only gets 4-stars, but the other features make these unique and quite amazing. The spatial sound is what makes these special, and you can't get that with any other over the ear headphones, and it works remarkably well. I think it uses actual head movement for tracking, so it's not just a software gimmick they can do on any other headphones (I think that's the case), but it' something you need to hear in person to appreciate.

I do not usually review products, AND these have literally been life changing. I have become an audiophile, have a small head (most adult/quality headphones are too big/heavy), wear glasses (turns out this combination gives bad headaches if you feel your head is in a vice) and have long hair (meaning in-ear headphones often times give static feedback as my hair rubs against the microphone). I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find a just right audio/headphone options and regret not initially investing in these. They fit my small sized head, are not too tight, completely cover my ears to not hurt/irritate my earring holes/ears or weigh on/squeeze my head/glasses. The audio quality is amazing and they pair with my other apple devices (computer/phone) seamlessly. I can wear them over one ear or both (as I have kids and audio-feedback from the environment is often helpful). These drown out irritating noises and I love the controls. I also appreciate that if I pull an earphone away from my head to listen to something/hear someone everything is paused for a moment and resumes when I put them back over my ear. So practical and helpful. The only concern I have is not being able to tell the difference between quality sound coming from speakers everyone can hear or headphones...and my heart Is happy and quality of life improved exponentially.

Why aren’t all headphones this nice??? I wish I’d bought these ages ago. They fit my head perfectly without sliding around or needing adjustments constantly. The music quality when paired with Lossless Audio on Apple Music is pretty astounding. The quality of these can’t be matched - the metal frame and sophisticated design make for heavy, but excellent, product. The battery life seems great so far - I’ve listened to a few hours uninterrupted and haven’t had to charge them yet. Honestly, the price point here sounds insane, especially because they charge via lightning cable and not USB-C. However, you get a product that I just can’t dismiss because of the price tag. The performance so far is simply astounding. Thanks to Prime Day prices, I finally bit the bullet, and I’m soooo glad I did.

So there are obviously $20,000 headphones with dedicated amps and stuff for rich jaguar owners to have manhood measuring contests about, but man, these things sound fantastic even at their pricepoint (from anyone’s perspective). Also, they are the somgle best noise cancelling tech i’ve heard, and the transparancy function is something i didn’t know i couldn’t live without until i used it. Laying in bed listening to music or videos, but still able to hear if my wife mumble asks me for something half asleep? Priceless. Plus the positional audio thing is kind of cool. One if the better other features: direct connect to apple tv for latenight viewing. Construction and materials are superb. I might change the earcups out for leather eventually, bit the fabric has been fine for several hour con calls and music sessions. The metal is nice, the feel of the headband extenders is premium. My only complaint is the magnet system to wake them up is inconsistent and has left them dead until i plug them in even with half battery left a couple of times. If you can afford them, go for it. Especially if uou’re in the Apple ecosystem at all.

Bought these as a gift. They are a smashing success. Sound quality and noise canceling are "great!" They are so cool that strangers compliment them in public.

Great and good sound quality. Can be a little heavy but no problem to me. If you wear during exercise and lots of sweating the ear cushions can be smelly. Good noise cancellation as well. Just too expensive so I give 4 stars

These are amazing! Worth every penny! I bought them to block out unwanted noise, and it works so well! Also, when I do listen to music or take a phone call, the connection is amazing.
