With this review, I set out to make one of the most informative review of the AirPods Max on the internet right now. Let me know how I did! Here are the timecodes if you wanna skip to the chapters that matter to you: 0:00 Le Intro 1:40 Design & Build 4:53 Using Them & Ergonomics 8:11 Battery 11:04 Different Modes 12:23 Mode Simulation 💥 14:18 Sound Quality 19:05 Spatial Audio 20:19 Spatial Audio Simulation 💥 21:50 Microphone Test 22:31 Android Compatibility 23:13 Additional Points (Issues, etc) 24:14 Why do these cost $549?! Is it worth it? 💥 26:40 Conclusion 💥 = Interesting AF / definitely worth checking out if you're in a hurry
I have airpod pro. I mainly use it for watching movies with spatial audio. Do you think if I replace it by airpod max, the spatial effect would significantly improved? Please answer.
@@bindumenon9450 you mean the EarPod Max vs the Bose qC45? Well: the build quality on the apple is much better (aluminium vs plastic) it has spatial audio and the noise cancellation is much more present, especially when you turn on the “transparency” mode which amplifies your voice and those around you. This is what the Bose cannot deliver, but than its halve the price. So when you want the best: buy apple, when you want the best deal: buy Bose
@@fortyinch i finally tested out a pair. they really sound amazing. however, i will not buy them unless they’re on sale. 550 is WAY too much. sad they have to be so expensive
hw burner they’re always on sale somewhere. Amazon has them like $70-80 off, and a couple colors were $150 off just a couple days ago. Think it was the space grey and red ones. Just gotta look around and you can find t when around $400-450, or ~350 if you want them used
I have AirPods Pro and Max. They both have their place. However, in a crowded place like a kid’s indoor trampoline park or airplane, you really can’t beat Max. I have the Bose QC25 as well. Those are great, but the Max is way better and worth it. Especially with spacial music.
@@NotRott009 I've heard so many great things about the Sony's :D I don't think the Max's would be a huge upgrade for you. The Sonys are already amazing. I loves my new Max's. But honestly, I only went with the Max because I'm so deep into the Apple ecosystem and I'm a major fanboy lol
@@twitchster77 I want to get the max bu I am poor so I got to take it one apple device at a time and right now it is the Apple Watch series 3 or se and then the iPhone 13 pro max when it comes out
@@Korixon. I've been incredibly fortunate this past year in being able to acquire some tech I'd otherwise never be able to really afford. I bet you're going to love your watch!!
Got a pair of the same Space Gray Max’s in February. I’ve used them almost every day since purchase for long stretches, I absolutely love them, I hope you enjoy them as well, personally I have had zero buyers remorse they are the best headphones I’ve owned.
The case preserves the battery life when you aren’t using them as well as long term. You can leave them in there 3 days at say 94% and when you take them out they will still be at 94%.
Dude. You nailed this review! I love how you covered things from soup to nuts. One thing to add. You can buy a lightning to 3.5 audio jack for airplane commuters. They need to plug into the analog system on the airplane. Only time I need a cable sometimes. I put 60-100k mikes a year, so that feature is important to me. Otherwise you killed it!!!! Very entertained and informative. Watched the whole thing!!
Wow. That Spatial Audio simulation was so, so good. It matched incredibly well with how it actually is, so people who’ve never experienced it can truly see how it actually is.
I'm just looking at this now since I broke my AirPods Pro, so I NEED a new pair of headphones and I'm thinking about the upgrade to Max instead of another pair of Pro. Do the AirPods Max still hold on 2022?
I’ve been thinking about buying AirPods max for a while now and this review has really helped me make my decision. I love all the graphics and the audio demonstrations are super cool. Keep up the great work 😄
@@angelherg1997 I like them tbh, in my opinion they’re better than Sony and Bose. They are comfortable but after 2 hours use, they start to get uncomfortable. Other than that, the sound and bass in general is top tier !!

Hey Jay, my dad says if i learn really well one music of dramatical art for school he would buy me 1 AirPod max, the problem is that I’m having a 0 time and I’m having a trouble of moving capacity so im rly bad in art, is it worth it ? (I’m just hesitant)
I got me a pair for 380 on eBay. The seller informed me that they were used for display at a store that shut down and that they were never actually used other just be behind a display. I got them trusting the seller and they did have returns accepted anyway. Lo and behold, the headphones were brand spanking new, no signs of use, white headband still perfectly clean and white, working amazing. I got lucky. A bargain.
To be really honest with you, bro u have such a nice filming skills it seemed to me at first a music video I mean it was such a Good filming u should have went for filming rather than science!
i’m getting mine today and this solidified my decision, i don’t feel as guilty anymore. this was a great video, just subbed! i can’t wait to get them later.
I have been thinking about buying them for the last 4 months. I have seen a lot of reviews and I decided to buy them today. I found your review as I was wearing them and honestly your review was the most comprehensive and honest review to date. Thank you for the awesome video. I am a new sub with the notifications turned on. (Your channel is the only one I have the notifications on for.)
@@itspasta i ended up getting a pair. they are really good. ANC is better than in the airpods pro , but getting the max only made me realize how good the pros are already. i got them on sale , i don’t think it’s worth it to buy them at full price if you have the pros already. but they are extremely comfortable and the battery is insane
@@miguelvaz i already have the pros. i was planning on buying the max because they’re on sale right now lol. i just needed to know if they’re really worth it. thanks for the info bro !
@@itspasta they are worth for the battery. Audio quality is really similar to the pros which was really great already. For long periods of time they’re more comfortable than the pros though.
Can you use this with left and right side flipped? I am left-handed and would like to have the button(s) and the wheel on the left side not on the right side while wearing them.
You know you got an excellent review and channel when we never track time while listening. Never thought it was 27mins!!! The review is comprehensive and entertaining as well. 😊
This has been the best AirPods Max Review I've seen. Shame I saw it right after I decided to buy them. I am in love with my AirPods Max :) As an Apple user I agree they work perfectly throughout the Ecosystem. I've tried them on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Definitely buy them if you are an Apple user.
From the least tech person on earth I thoroughly enjoyed and actually understood your review. Thanks so much!! Tickled the subscribed button also just because your review was very down to earth also.
Is it possible to use the Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar to charge the AirPods Max while listening to content with a 3.5 mm headphone cable simultaneously? Basically use a dongle with a headphone jack and lightning connector?
how do they perform in a crowded and loud coffee shop? Ive had trouble with my Sony MDX 1000 with that. it can't separate my voice talking on a call from my neighbor
I know this vids a bit old but it’s really in depth and I trust this review more because it was not rushed to get views and was done over a few months.
BRO HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 27.5 K SUBS YOUR EDITING WAS SO GOOD I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THIS WAS A RUclips VIDEO COMPARED TO MOST OF THE EDITING I SEE TODAY. YOU'RE SO UNDERRATED!!
for the life of me i can not stick the buds in my ears....drives me crazy...want the over the ear headphones...but i think i may wait for the GEN 2 version...hopefully its soon...nice video by the way....cheers all from Canada
Great review! I put my Airpods Max on a headphone "cradle" which looks like a human head. Since Airpods Max think they're still on my head, they continue to work at full volume/power. This is one case where I wish the Max had an off switch. Otherwise I agree with you're review. They are super premium with premium price. I got mine for 15% off at BestBuy (the only time I've purchased Apple products from them) and they were still more than I was comfortable spending... but now I'm happy. They are as good as advertised and better than the competition. Congrats on a great review and continued success!
Just found this in November 2021, Very Good job. Lots of thought went into your review. I bought the Max 6 months ago and agree with your points in the review. One statement you made in particular is how people hear audio will be different for each person. I just passed 85, and my hearing has some low spots in it, and can’t hear anything past 9k. But when I listen to music or any other audio, I still get a very good sound profile with the Max. Spatial audio comes thru as a much richer sound than Stereo, but for me, the placement of where the audio is coming from is where my ears can’t quite make behind, in front, above sounds out very well. I can hear great left and right. Still, as I mentioned, the sound is much richer, more fuller for some reason to my ears than Dolby stereo. Transparency mode is a standout feature for my ears, and so is Noice cancellation. Yes, the price is a bit high, but to me it is worth it.
This was the most well thought out, in depth review I’ve seen for this product, and I am so glad I found your video. I ordered these today and they’re set to arrive tomorrow. I am even more excited to receive them now, after watching your product review. Thanks so much!
Have you ever noticed any condensation on it? I just bought mine(space gray) and saw condensation after 2 hours of usage 😳 I also saw it on the drivers. is it normal?
I agree….I grew to love them, coming up on 1 1/2 years, I have had to return them 3x’s for water damage, no I have never wore them into rain or even near dampness, yet they got water damage. I have never dropped them or mistreated them. Apple did make it right by repair, but I can’t give up on them……I love them.
No, this issue is well known in the AirPods Max community. Short answer, your max’s broke because of sweat. Long answer, the aluminium frame is a horrible heat conductor and so when your ears get hot or sweat is produced, that heat has no-where to go and becomes liquid form… on top of the drivers, AKA the component which produces sound, the area of the max’s you cannot access without doing a tear down. My advice is just don’t work out in then or do intensive exercises, I find even when I’m walking and the temperature is cool outside condensation still builds up so you just have to be careful for it.
No not at all! They are very very comfortable they are slightly heavy while wearing but they a great headphones. The battery life is excellent, at least for me because I don’t use mines everyday. But I can leave them in my bag for a couple weeks without using them and would still have a 91% battery life. I love them! They are great headphones.
Review after 3 weeks with AirPod Max, clamping force is uncomfortably tight and the heavy weight over time adds discomfort, the noise cancellation is amazing and sound is great. The muffs and build quality is great, but be aware of the long term comfort. I wear these headphones 10 hours a day on average so it takes a toll on my head
I tested them out yesterday as the build quality is good and the ear muff are very comfortable as the clamp force kinda of reminds me of my old solos 3 but more comfortable and the only down side is theres no case and the audio quality is mehh at least compared to my sony headphones and also the price on Thoses airpod max is over priced as I think they should be 350 bucks not 550
@@coolsquad7428 Yeah they're awesome headphones for sure, but the clamping force is just too much for me for what it's priced at. My bose QC 35 II are much more comfortable long periods
Man... Till this day I was missing the Jim's review room style of headphone reviews but now I found you and it's even better. This is the best headphone review I've ever seen! Continue to do what you are doing. You're awesome.
Just got them for 440 at amazon😳… very looking forward to arrive. Looseless audio is related with bluetooth technology, with the cable should be supported, did you try?
This is one of the most comprehensive tech reviews that stays interesting over 27+ minutes. No rabbit trails or soap boxes. Focused on the facts with minimal bias. Well done!
I watched this after I ordered the Apple Max to see if I made a good decision. Yup, you made me feel very confident that I will love these when they arrive. I am a total Apple fan and live in the "ecosystem." I really wanted seamless operation between my Apple devices. It sounds like this will work well for me. My TV has Dolby ATMOS and driven by AppleTV. You didn't cover this, but I expect it will work extremely well. Thanks for the good review.
Very informative…… I just subscribed your channel and I love everything you said because everything is explained good….. thank you so much…… and more videos please 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥😍😍😍😍
Hi! I have a question - will noise cancelling mode filter out a baby screaming at 2-4m distance? Because I had such situation in a plane and it was horrible even with headphones and earplugs at the same time.
For now I feel that there are two huge turn-off points for me: 1) They don't look like normal headphones(I hate that look, to me it is like wearing a golden chain on your neck which screams "I have lot of money but no taste!"). I actually feel lot of shame that I did buy a MacBook(it is my first device from Apple and a huge disappointment in terms of performance) so I never take it outside as I don't have a cover for it to hide apple logo. 2) I use Android phones only(as ulkie most of people I actually do need those advanced functions that are present on rooted android devices only).
I'm being completly honest you are probably the best RUclipsr and you put a lot of effort in your videos and i really appreciate that. please keep up the great quality content, thank you
Very good video! I have a question…. Is the same maximal volume level between using them with Bluetooth and cable? I bought the cable but I feel that max volume level with cable is lower than Bluetooth. For me, 100% with cable is like 80% with Bluetooth. is it like that for you too? Thanks and happy new year!
I love using my airpod max to watch Apple TV when there are others in the room doing other activities in talking. I can even use share to watchtv (listen actually as i watch the screen) with a second person who has beats solo 3 or later, airpod pro or airpod max. Just sitting there watching a movie or show on Apple TV without hearing the other noise in the room and without the people in the room being disturbed by my movie/show since they can’t hear it.
Man just found your video and really like it. I do think you overdid it with the “woosh” sound effect when you make a point. 😅 I was listening on my AirPods and the audio just was overwhelming. Keep it up though.
Get apple care, mine just stopped working after 5 months of joy. The wont turn on. Little led near charge port wont light up. I think they are dead. Im within the 1 year warranty so I have to send back and wait. But I have read that it mostly takes 2 weeks and the problems persist. So, just be careful spending $500 on these. When they work they are 100% worth it. But when they don’t, be prepared to wait and wonder.
Find me is not working properly. I lost my Airpods Max and searched the last location. However, they weren't there. I found them in a totally different location with batteries at 66%
Found this while looking for reviews! Love to know im a part of the 22k. I was kind of unsure if I should cancel my order as I just ordered these... but now I won't!
Great review, I just bought these in Space Grey yesterday and they are amazing. Can’t believe I’ve waited so long. They look and feel awesome and seriously I never liked the look of the case but in real life I don’t mind it. I have never had over ear headphones before, only used AirPods so you can imagine how much I love these AirPods Max 😊
One year later did u regret it? My family is planning to buy this for me as a grauduating gift and im just looking at reviews just to make sure im sure!
i bought the SONY XM5 and i didn't like the way it sounds. i like the way it looks on my head but for me the bass is a bit muffled and sounded unnatural and the leather or whatever material they used on that ear cup is not breathable and it's uncomfortable, i always found my ears sweaty after 30 minutes of use so i end up reselling them. i'm looking forward on buying the Airpods Max or wait for the second-generation next year. thank you for making this detailed review, had a lot of fun watching with that amazing editing. 😊👌
I bought mine a few days ago. I had the Sony M4’s and before I bought the AP Max I tried the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s. I absolutely love my AirPods Max. I also bought a 3rd party hard case for it. It’s the best headphones I’ve ever had.

I have airpod pro. I mainly use it for watching movies with spatial audio. Do you think if I replace it by airpod max, the spatial effect would significantly improved? Please answer.
Their amazing. Coming from a heavy user.
How did the Apple AirPod Mac compare with Bose noise canceling ?

@@khanmojo9239 i agree. I can see 399. If it was 400 under, i think this would sell out the shelves real quick.

Best Buy has them for $479 and I copped them.

with the Pro 2s noise cancellation is better
Does the sound quality that better than airpods pro 2
I don't need these. But I want these. So really I do need them.

His great review, would you recommend these still in 2024 as Apple hasn’t yet upgraded the chip and other specs?

the script is well organized, informational, but terribly written to the point where it’s genuinely entertaining, well done!

is it worth it buying this almost 2 years headphone?
Because “maybe” Apple will release AirPods Max 2 by December.
What do you think?
I wanna buy the silver variant but im concerned does the ear part stain easily? specially when one wears makeup?
Top quality review and presentation, with a fair and realistic conclusion 🙂

Don’t wait for gen 2 they won’t be released until 2025!
Is it possible to use the Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar to charge the AirPods Max while listening to content with a 3.5 mm headphone cable simultaneously?
Basically use a dongle with a headphone jack and lightning connector?
Can we just appreciate an address this amazing intro to the video!! Great work
I bought them yesterday and I love them. And they work fine with android!
how do they perform in a crowded and loud coffee shop? Ive had trouble with my Sony MDX 1000 with that. it can't separate my voice talking on a call from my neighbor
I know this vids a bit old but it’s really in depth and I trust this review more because it was not rushed to get views and was done over a few months.
This was a great review. I’m gonna order a pair right now
the simulation spatial audio part is so fun 😂 smart dude
Perfect review, very informative and helpful. Loved how you included audio examples made the video so much better and entertaining!
BRO HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 27.5 K SUBS YOUR EDITING WAS SO GOOD I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THIS WAS A RUclips VIDEO COMPARED TO MOST OF THE EDITING I SEE TODAY. YOU'RE SO UNDERRATED!!
This is the best review of the AirPods Max. Thank you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
for the life of me i can not stick the buds in my ears....drives me crazy...want the over the ear headphones...but i think i may wait for the GEN 2 version...hopefully its soon...nice video by the way....cheers all from Canada
Very well done. I’ll agree with other commenters, how is he not blowing up. Pro delivery and production values.
This guy deserves more subs 🙁
3:22 gotta respect the music taste💜
Great review! I put my Airpods Max on a headphone "cradle" which looks like a human head. Since Airpods Max think they're still on my head, they continue to work at full volume/power. This is one case where I wish the Max had an off switch. Otherwise I agree with you're review. They are super premium with premium price. I got mine for 15% off at BestBuy (the only time I've purchased Apple products from them) and they were still more than I was comfortable spending... but now I'm happy. They are as good as advertised and better than the competition. Congrats on a great review and continued success!
Oh, my Gosh!
Thank you!!
I had an issue connecting these boys all day today!
Finally!
I almost returned them!
Thank you!
It is comfortable with Glasses?
Just found this in November 2021, Very Good job. Lots of thought went into your review. I bought the Max 6 months ago and agree with your points in the review. One statement you made in particular is how people hear audio will be different for each person. I just passed 85, and my hearing has some low spots in it, and can’t hear anything past 9k. But when I listen to music or any other audio, I still get a very good sound profile with the Max. Spatial audio comes thru as a much richer sound than Stereo, but for me, the placement of where the audio is coming from is where my ears can’t quite make behind, in front, above sounds out very well. I can hear great left and right. Still, as I mentioned, the sound is much richer, more fuller for some reason to my ears than Dolby stereo. Transparency mode is a standout feature for my ears, and so is Noice cancellation. Yes, the price is a bit high, but to me it is worth it.
This was the most well thought out, in depth review I’ve seen for this product, and I am so glad I found your video. I ordered these today and they’re set to arrive tomorrow. I am even more excited to receive them now, after watching your product review. Thanks so much!
Have you ever noticed any condensation on it? I just bought mine(space gray) and saw condensation after 2 hours of usage 😳 I also saw it on the drivers.
is it normal?
I agree….I grew to love them, coming up on 1 1/2 years, I have had to return them 3x’s for water damage, no I have never wore them into rain or even near dampness, yet they got water damage. I have never dropped them or mistreated them. Apple did make it right by repair, but I can’t give up on them……I love them.
does the earcup get stains? like from waering makeup or sunscreen?
No, this issue is well known in the AirPods Max community. Short answer, your max’s broke because of sweat. Long answer, the aluminium frame is a horrible heat conductor and so when your ears get hot or sweat is produced, that heat has no-where to go and becomes liquid form… on top of the drivers, AKA the component which produces sound, the area of the max’s you cannot access without doing a tear down. My advice is just don’t work out in then or do intensive exercises, I find even when I’m walking and the temperature is cool outside condensation still builds up so you just have to be careful for it.
Bro I am buying this mainly for online classes and for walking should i buy them will they last for kore than couple of years pls reply me
how do you handle the humnidity condensation underneth the cussions ?
great video i just bought them,,,, they are amazing..... i think after using Bose for 40 years it was time for a change
Yo honestly the best AirPods Max video I’ve seen, so incredibly professional
Do the AirPods max get warm at listening ? How comfortable is it to use for several hours ?
No not at all! They are very very comfortable they are slightly heavy while wearing but they a great headphones. The battery life is excellent, at least for me because I don’t use mines everyday. But I can leave them in my bag for a couple weeks without using them and would still have a 91% battery life. I love them! They are great headphones.
You did such an amazing job with this review!Thank you so much sweetheart.
I watched around 20 videos and even one of the best reviewers out there. Your analysis and breakdown are impeccable! Well done!
these are still the best looking headphones on the market and worth every penny
Review after 3 weeks with AirPod Max, clamping force is uncomfortably tight and the heavy weight over time adds discomfort, the noise cancellation is amazing and sound is great. The muffs and build quality is great, but be aware of the long term comfort. I wear these headphones 10 hours a day on average so it takes a toll on my head
I tested them out yesterday as the build quality is good and the ear muff are very comfortable as the clamp force kinda of reminds me of my old solos 3 but more comfortable and the only down side is theres no case and the audio quality is mehh at least compared to my sony headphones and also the price on Thoses airpod max is over priced as I think they should be 350 bucks not 550
@@coolsquad7428 Yeah they're awesome headphones for sure, but the clamping force is just too much for me for what it's priced at. My bose QC 35 II are much more comfortable long periods
@@dude9237 yeah
Great Review just Subscribed after watching the video. Love the layout and how thorough you were in the review.
Excelent, cheers from Brazil ! Gonna purchase today this one !
Man... Till this day I was missing the Jim's review room style of headphone reviews but now I found you and it's even better. This is the best headphone review I've ever seen! Continue to do what you are doing. You're awesome.
Just got them for 440 at amazon😳… very looking forward to arrive. Looseless audio is related with bluetooth technology, with the cable should be supported, did you try?
Good review, but with an inexplicable mind-blowing amount of the use of the word “honestly” and “actually”.
This is one of the most comprehensive tech reviews that stays interesting over 27+ minutes. No rabbit trails or soap boxes. Focused on the facts with minimal bias. Well done!
I watched this after I ordered the Apple Max to see if I made a good decision. Yup, you made me feel very confident that I will love these when they arrive. I am a total Apple fan and live in the "ecosystem." I really wanted seamless operation between my Apple devices. It sounds like this will work well for me. My TV has Dolby ATMOS and driven by AppleTV. You didn't cover this, but I expect it will work extremely well. Thanks for the good review.
Since you live in toronto you should test their noise canceling by going on line 3 of the TTC as the SRT makes the combined noise of 10 whole plane.
Airpod max could use for android phone?
Very informative…… I just subscribed your channel and I love everything you said because everything is explained good….. thank you so much…… and more videos please 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥😍😍😍😍
Hi! I have a question - will noise cancelling mode filter out a baby screaming at 2-4m distance? Because I had such situation in a plane and it was horrible even with headphones and earplugs at the same time.
For now I feel that there are two huge turn-off points for me:
1) They don't look like normal headphones(I hate that look, to me it is like wearing a golden chain on your neck which screams "I have lot of money but no taste!"). I actually feel lot of shame that I did buy a MacBook(it is my first device from Apple and a huge disappointment in terms of performance) so I never take it outside as I don't have a cover for it to hide apple logo.
2) I use Android phones only(as ulkie most of people I actually do need those advanced functions that are present on rooted android devices only).
I'm being completly honest you are probably the best RUclipsr and you put a lot of effort in your videos and i really appreciate that. please keep up the great quality content, thank you
The video does do justice to the title.
Keep up the awesome work mate!!
Very good video! I have a question…. Is the same maximal volume level between using them with Bluetooth and cable? I bought the cable but I feel that max volume level with cable is lower than Bluetooth. For me, 100% with cable is like 80% with Bluetooth. is it like that for you too? Thanks and happy new year!
I own these and I think you did a great job. I’ll be watching going forward.
I love using my airpod max to watch Apple TV when there are others in the room doing other activities in talking. I can even use share to watchtv (listen actually as i watch the screen) with a second person who has beats solo 3 or later, airpod pro or airpod max. Just sitting there watching a movie or show on Apple TV without hearing the other noise in the room and without the people in the room being disturbed by my movie/show since they can’t hear it.
Man just found your video and really like it. I do think you overdid it with the “woosh” sound effect when you make a point. 😅 I was listening on my AirPods and the audio just was overwhelming.
Keep it up though.
Get apple care, mine just stopped working after 5 months of joy. The wont turn on. Little led near charge port wont light up. I think they are dead. Im within the 1 year warranty so I have to send back and wait. But I have read that it mostly takes 2 weeks and the problems persist. So, just be careful spending $500 on these. When they work they are 100% worth it. But when they don’t, be prepared to wait and wonder.
Deff gonna help me finally decide to get some!!
Find me is not working properly. I lost my Airpods Max and searched the last location. However, they weren't there. I found them in a totally different location with batteries at 66%
What about call quality? I’d like to use these for making calls as well as listening to music.
Found this while looking for reviews! Love to know im a part of the 22k. I was kind of unsure if I should cancel my order as I just ordered these... but now I won't!
I am seriusly imprest by how gooood this Video is.
Great review, I just bought these in Space Grey yesterday and they are amazing. Can’t believe I’ve waited so long.
They look and feel awesome and seriously I never liked the look of the case but in real life I don’t mind it.
I have never had over ear headphones before, only used AirPods so you can imagine how much I love these AirPods Max 😊
One year later did u regret it? My family is planning to buy this for me as a grauduating gift and im just looking at reviews just to make sure im sure!
I bought some two days ago and this vid made me appreciate them more
i bought the SONY XM5 and i didn't like the way it sounds. i like the way it looks on my head but for me the bass is a bit muffled and sounded unnatural and the leather or whatever material they used on that ear cup is not breathable and it's uncomfortable, i always found my ears sweaty after 30 minutes of use so i end up reselling them. i'm looking forward on buying the Airpods Max or wait for the second-generation next year. thank you for making this detailed review, had a lot of fun watching with that amazing editing. 😊👌
Hey man were you in the ib programme at st. Robert chs?
Yessir
the spacial audio simulation is so cool and realistic!! thanks for the great review
1 year later and im still trying to buy them i really need to get them this month 😭
I bought and returned them. Way to heavy and did not like the sound signature. Much happier with bose QC 45
Does the sound quality that better than AirPods pro 2 to purchase it for that much money
So interesting how you’re plane is flying backward at one point LOL; great review, thanks for the information - waiting for the 2nd gen to come out.
it seems like you hate blue color.. very great review!!
I bought mine a few days ago. I had the Sony M4’s and before I bought the AP Max I tried the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s. I absolutely love my AirPods Max. I also bought a 3rd party hard case for it. It’s the best headphones I’ve ever had.
I just bought the headphones a few minutes ago, I hope it actually works then the AirPods Pro XD
Also the AirPods Max mode and spatial audio simulation is soooo cool! I’ve never seen anything like that before!!
Glad you liked it!
does noise cancelling work when wired?
