- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2021Apple products are goes but the pricing is obscene,
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2020This is extremely expensive for what it is. Might as well get the Sony XM3 for less than half the price!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2020That is all.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2020What planet are apple on? After this year they think they can charge £549 for some headphones that look like a purse when you carry them. They claim that they don’t include a charger to save the environment and then tell you that the 29w usb c charger that you already own isn’t compatible, forcing you to pay them more money to be able to charge the headphones that they charged you double the price of much better headphones. Do your self a favour and buy the Bose 700’s or the Sony mx4’s.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2020Apple exist only to rip you off, if you pay for these there is no helping you.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2020There's no capacity in which £549 is reasonable for this device. I'm a self confessed Apple sheep and have bought any Apple device I've wanted to up until this point. I'd love a pair of these, but I refuse to be scalped for £549. Absolutely insulting.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2020Get a Bose or an actual decent headphone rather than this garbage
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2021bruh i can even afford this

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just Headphones, but at a Price
AirPods Max are definitely more than just a pair of headphones—and that’s also why they’re overpriced. They look incredibly stylish, almost like a fashion accessory, and the sound quality is excellent.
That said, due to their size and flashy design, I still find myself reaching for my AirPods Pro in certain situations. Battery life is solid, and overall, they’re a great pair of headphones. However, as a 15 Pro user, the lack of a USB-C port is frustrating, but not enough to justify upgrading just for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great headphones
The Apple AirPods Max delivers an unmatched audio experience. The noise-canceling feature is top-notch, blocking out distractions and immersing you in crystal-clear sound. The personalized spatial audio and Dolby Atmos make music and movies feel incredibly dynamic. The build quality is premium, and the silver finish is sleek and elegant. Although pricey, the performance, comfort, and seamless integration with Apple devices make it worth every penny. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality headphones!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound and superb noise canceling
As above and easy on the ears I hate the in ear kind, I have small ears and they all hurt not these headphones. The sound is excellent especially with the noise canceling on. It makes a big difference. Expensive but worth it. A quality product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Para mi, Apple sigue siendo sinónimo de calidad
Desde hace tiempo quería comprarme unos AirPods Max y por fin me aventé a hacer la compra. Me la pensé mucho en hacerlo porque ya tenía unos AirPods Pro 2 y unos Bose QuietComfort II, así que ya teniendo un par in-ear y uno over-ear, no veía sentido comprar otros más.
Así que voy a compartir mi experiencia con los AirPods Max, comparativa con otros audífonos, así como los pros y contras para que puedan decidir si este producto es o no para ustedes.
-Primera impresión: como siempre, usar un producto de Apple es una experiencia única, desde abrir el paquete hasta el pairing y el uso intuitivo que ofrecen los productos. Fue fácil conectarlos a mi iPhone y en consecuencia a cada uno de mis productos, iPad, MacBook e incluso con el Apple TV. Así que si eres alguien que ha invertido en el ecosistema de Apple, en definitiva vas a tener una experiencia agradable con ellos.
-Sonido: tienen un sonido muy agradable, con un rango amplio para bajos, medios y agudos, todo muy bien equilibrado y ecualizado. Los agudos no lastiman, los medios no se pierden y los bajos no retumban en tu cabeza. Si buscas bajos muy potentes, puede que estos no sean para ti, sus bajos son ricos y profundos pero para nada exagerados. La fidelidad del audio es espectacular y el audio espacial hacen de ellos una belleza.
-Comfort: son pesados, ya que están hechos de aluminio y el marco es de metal, pero la banda ayuda bastante a que se distribuya muy bien el peso, no molestan y es fácil usarlos por horas pero definitivamente vas a notar el peso. Las almohadillas son bastante cómodas y al ser de tela son transpirables, lo que ayuda mucho a no sentir calor en las orejas. Su uso es bastante intuitivo ya que solo tienes el Digital Crown, que se puede personalizar para cambiar el volumen en una u otra direccion, también funciona como botón para pausar o adelantar canciones e interactuar con Siri, y tienes un segundo botón para activar o desactivar el Noise Cancelling.
-Active Noise Cancelling: en definitiva el ANC de Apple es uno de los mejores de su clase en el mercado, muchos ex-retos incluso dicen que el mejor, pero ahí si tengo mis dudas. Para empezar, tanto mis AirPods Pro 2 como mis Bose QC35 II tienen ANC y de todos estos el que mejor cancelación brinda, al menos desde mi experiencia, es el de Bose. El de Apple no es malo, es muy bueno pero con Bose no escuchaba absolutamente nada del exterior, incluso los AirPods Pro 2 me dieron una mejor experiencia de ANC comparados con los Max, ya que al ser in-ear, tienen un mejor sello para evitar que entre el ruido exterior, mientras que los Bose al ser over-ear y tener almohadillas de vini-piel, sellaban muy bien. Los AirPods Max por otro lado si dejan entrar ruido exterior, cuando se está reproduciendo música no vas a notar el ruido externo, ya que hace un muy buen trabajo tapándolo, pero al pausar la música si vas a escuchar tu entorno, aunque muy leve, cosa que no pasa con los otros dos.
Pros
Si ya estás metido en el ecosistema de Apple son una excelente adición, pasar de un dispositivo a otro es muy fácil y tienen un gran sonido con un muy buen ANC, aunque no el mejor, según mi opinión.
Contras
Son caros y no necesariamente los mejores del mercado, si ya tienes otros audífonos over-ear como unos Sony o unos Bose, no vale la pena el cambio. No me malinterpretes, son buenos audífonos pero si ya tienes unos de esas marcar, no vas a ganar nada al hacer el cambio. Además aún no cuentan con adaptive audio mientras que los AirPods Pro 2 ya lo tienen, tampoco tienen un chip de ubicación precisa para localizarlos usando “Find My”
Disculpen lo extenso de la reseña pero espero que les ayude a tomar una decisión sobre si estos audífonos son o no para ti. Intenté enfocarme en las cosas que yo me fijo a la hora de comprar unos audífonos. En definitiva me encantan y ahora que ya no tengo los Bose la vdd es que estos me cayeron muy bien, pero estoy muy consciente que no son para todos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely incredible
After owning a pair of white AirPods Max since their release in December 2020, I recently bought this pink pair for my girlfriend and we both absolutely love them.
The design is beautiful and understated without any garish logo anywhere. They fit well with your other Apple products. The Digital Crown (that small dial on the top right) is a great way to adjust volume levels.
Siri integration is very useful to change volume levels, make or take calls, or otherwise use your iPhone or Macbook without touching it.
They pair automatically to all your devices via iCloud, and can auto-switch between them.
Now on to the main event: sound quality. They sound amazing. They have a clean sound profile that should please most users with a powerful but not overwhelming bass. You'll discover sounds you never heard before in your favorite songs.
If you subscribe to Apple Music, you also get Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio that makes it feel like the music is all around you.
Furthermore, they're great headphones for watching movies without bothering anyone around you. They're almost like a home theatre for your ears!
They're a bit on the expensive side, but that should tell you how much we love them to have bought them twice!
If you're invested in Apple's ecosystem and favor design, sound quality and ease of use, then these are definitely for you.
