I recently purchased the Apple AirPods Max, and they have completely transformed my listening experience. From the moment I unboxed them, the premium quality was evident. The sleek design and impeccable build quality are simply unmatched.
The sound quality is extraordinary. Every note, every beat, and every nuance comes through with stunning clarity and depth. The active noise cancellation is top-notch, effortlessly drowning out background noise, making them perfect for both commuting and focused work sessions. The transparency mode is equally impressive, allowing me to stay aware of my surroundings when needed without removing the headphones.
The comfort level is exceptional. The memory foam ear cushions and the breathable knit mesh canopy ensure that I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem is a huge plus, making it incredibly easy to switch between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.
Battery life is another highlight. I get well over 20 hours of continuous playback, and the quick charge feature provides hours of use from just a short charge. The intuitive controls and the impressive spatial audio feature further enhance the overall experience.
In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max are worth every penny. They offer an unparalleled combination of luxury, performance, and innovation. If you're looking for the best in audio quality and user experience, look no further. Highly recommended!

I’m impressed with this
So, this is day one of having these so I’ll probably do an updated version of this.The headphone itself is sturdy, full of metal so it’ll be heavy be prepared for that but it’s not overbearing. It’s pretty heavy when taking it out of the box. The headband is mesh, so after a while it’s gonna become useless, so I’d get yourself a headband that’ll grab on the the existing one so then it can not wear and turn overtime, but it’s comfortable without it, just be warned.When taking them out of the case itself, the headphones will clank together, but no damage will happen. *Clank*The sound quality is great especially with the volume control on top of the right headphone. For my headphone users, they can sound quiet, but I assure you that it’s working just fine, that’s how it’s suppose to sound. You’ve got everything that the AirPod Pros have when it comes to the noise cancellation and the transparency, now I may have forgotten a system that the pros had but those are the two things this has.For my big head people, they fit you. They have enough room to fit out big heads.The buttons on the headphones are great to have with the functionality.The connection at first wasn’t great until I looked up how to fix it. So if you run into this problem, hit the 2 buttons on top of the right headphone for 5-8 seconds until you see a white light at the bottom of the headphones. This’ll factory reset it. Then it’ll appear on your phone. Then it’ll sound just like your pros when you put them on.The adjustment is great if you wanna have them on for hours at a time. Short time users are fine too.The headphones pieces are magnetic, so if you need to replace them, you actually can. Grab the earpiece and play with it to see.

#1 Wireless Headphones - Best Sound, Excellent Build Quality & Comfort - Full Detailed Review

Note: I used to own the Bose 700 but returned them because the head band was so tight it gave me headaches and I couldn’t wear it for more than 20-30 minutes.
Here is my experience with each.
Best Noise Cancelling:
Air Pods Max
Sony XM4
Bose QC35
I use all 3 headphones with televisions in the background, small children and outdoors. The Air Pods Max is very close to the XM4, I would rate it as a 10% difference – it’s almost tied. The QC35 on the other hand, I can hear faint television/small children in the background, even at high volume.
Long Term Comfort:
Bose QC35
Air Pods Max
Sony XM4
Nothing will ever beat the QC35’s. I can wear them all day and take video and phone calls however, it does give me a slight disorientation effect and minor vertigo, similar to diving or moving to an elevated height (driving up a mountain for example).
The Air Pods Max are comfortable, and the ear cups surround my large ears just like the QC35 however, there the clamp is noticeable – this may go away after some time; the clamp causes minor discomfort with glasses; I removed my glasses for the purpose of this short review and the discomfort has faded, even after 60 minutes of listening – it does clamp more than the QC35 and XM4s.
Something to keep in mind is the XM4 earpads are not thick enough and my ear brushes against the speaker area; this also makes my ears get hot after 30 minutes and I eventually have to take a short break – this does not happen with the Air Pods Max – there is lots of room for my ears and the cushions are thick enough that my ears do not touch the speaker area.
Microphone:
Air Pods Max
Bose QC35
Sony XM4
I completed several zoom video/audio calls, Facetime and regular calls. I asked my friends/family to compare my voice quality on each headset and every time, the Air Pods Max was the winner. Bose QC35 is still great in this department however – I was using them as my primary driver for calls prior to getting the Air Pods Max.
The Sony XM4’s are below average; people cannot hear me clearly. In-fact, I stopped using them entirely for business calls because colleagues would make remarks about my microphone. They are ‘okay’ for personal calls, but not desirable for me at least.
Synchronization:
Air Pods Max
Bose QC 35
Sony XM4
I place the Air Pods on my head and it immediately connects to my phone. I do not have to touch anything on either of my devices. When I place the Air Pods Max around my neck or left one ear cup, the music pauses. When I place both ear cups back on my ears, the music auto resumes. I tested this for several hours and it has never failed.
As for the Bose QC35 and XM4’s, no matter if they both have multi device pairing, I am always having issues. Both headsets never switch to my other device without me having to manually disconnect 1 of 2 devices (the one I’m not using). This is frustrating and I hate doing this multiple times per day.
Music Quality:
Air Pods Max
Sony XM4
Bose QC35
The Air Pods Max I would rate have 30% better music quality than the XM4. I tested Hip-Hop, Bossa Nova, Jazz, Classical, Deep House, D&B, Techno, Trip Hop, Dubstep and Lounge. The must is more engaging, and I can hear the instruments and vocals in more detail – an elevated musical experience. The biggest difference for me was Jazz, Classical, Bossa Nova and Salsa – I would say a 50% better listening experience for these genres.
Build Quality:
Air Pods Max
Sony XM4
Bose QC35
Air Pods Max are easily the highest quality headphones I have handled; they look at and feel premium and are crafted exceptionally well – even the buttons are strong and durable; these are basically on another level entirely. When extending the headphones, there is a steel connector with resistance when adjusting the sizing to fit your head properly.
The XM4/QC35 are hard plastic – nothing special or extravagant; the XM4 look better than the QC35 however.
Spatial Audio Note:
I was completely blown away when I loaded an Apple TV series on my phone to test the spatial audio feature. It felt like I had speakers surround me in a 360 fashion at the move theatres. I stood there for 5 minutes with my eyes wide opened in disbelief that headphones were capable of offering this level of experience. It is something that you have to try it to believe it. This is what sold me the most.
---
Are the Air Pods Max worth the price? Based on my experience so far, I would say yes. I was actually expecting them to be close to the XM4’s, but on certain categories, they have accelerated immensely.

Seriously - I wanted to wait for the XM6's, but nope - I'll try them and likely return them when they come out, and I know - the Apirpods Max 2's are coming at some point, but I can't wait. These are SO much more comfortable than the XM5's crappy cushioning that's very cheap in construction. These are also significantly better at noise cancelling, which is HUGE for me, as mentioned.
No one can beat these for ANC and the sound is phenomenal. I'm not even an Apple guy, except for these.
Try them for yourself. I realize sound is subjective, but hot damn, these are the best for ANC and the sound quality is the best I've tried (other than the Skullcandy Crusher Evo's for watching movies or during workouts, where heavy bass is desired in my case).
Thumbs up from Ontario, Canada! As I finish my up-coming mental health memoir and seek a book deal, these have me locked in! I'm sold on Airpods Max, even without the USB-C port, which the Max 2's will have. I'll likely buy a pair of those in a couple years.

Hermosos como todo en Apple

Como todo lo que hace Apple, estos audífonos no son la excepción. Los materiales son de muy alta calidad (al menos así se percibe desde que abres la caja). Solo la caja la podrías vender en mil pesos.
He visto reseñas que por la mitad de precio podrías conseguir algo de igual o mejor calidad, puede ser, pero dudo que superen la interfaz de usuario que Apple logró con estos. Acercas los audífonos al teléfono y listo. Yo no soy audiófilo, por eso puedo decir que por mucho supera a mis anteriores audífonos (Marshall II)
El modo ambiental es super pro, es como si se modulara el ruido exterior y llegara a tus oídos una onda de sonido perfectamente modulada.
Actualización 26 julio 2022.
Aunque al principio me parecían unos audífonos excelentes poco a poco fueron perdiendo mi respeto. Me compré un mouse MX Master 3 y MX Keys de Logitech y comenzó el suplicio. Al parecer los audífonos entran en interferencia con el blutooth de estos dispositivos, por lo que tuve que usar el conector USB Bluetooth para sincronizar mi teclado y mouse con la computadora, de otra forma la voz se escuchaba robotizada.
Otra cosa que odie a los pocos meses, en la zona donde vivo es calurosa un día normal estamos a 29º y el promedio es de 30º y es que empecé a notar que los audífonos tenían mucha condensación y debajo de las esponjas se empieza a ver como se forman gotitas de sudor/agua, evidentemente hay que estar lavando las esponjitas porque si no huelen terrible.
Otra cosa que pueden ver en una de las fotos es que parece que una parte de los audífonos está perdiendo la pintura, no entiendo a que se debe, pero pareciera si constantemente los frotara contra algo y la verdad es que nunca los saco y siempre están en su case cuando no los utilizo.
La verdad lo pensaría dos veces antes de hacer esta compra
