Apple AirPods Max are wireless, over-ear headphones known for their high-fidelity audio, active noise cancellation, and premium design. They integrate seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem, but their compatibility with other brands is limited.
Audio and features
High-fidelity audio: With an Apple-exclusive dynamic driver, AirPods Max deliver crisp, detailed sound with low distortion.
Custom Spatial Audio: Uses dynamic head tracking to create an immersive, cinematic sound experience by positioning the sound based on your movements.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Considered one of the best on the market, ANC uses multiple microphones to neutralize external noise and provide immersive listening.
Ambient Mode: Lets you hear the sounds around you naturally, ideal for interacting with others or paying attention to advertisements.
Adaptive EQ: Adjusts sound in real time to optimize audio performance based on the unique fit of the ear cushions.
Lossless Audio via USB-C: The updated 2024 model enables lossless audio playback when connected via cable to a compatible Apple device.
Connectivity: The 2024 version uses a USB-C port for charging.
Battery: Provides up to 20 hours of playback with ANC and Spatial Audio enabled.
Design and comfort
Premium materials: The headband is made of stainless steel with a mesh screen that distributes the weight, while the ear cups are made of aluminum.
Replaceable ear pads: The ear pads are magnetic, allowing them to be easily removed and replaced.
Digital Crown: Inspired by the Apple Watch, it lets you control volume, skip tracks, answer calls, and activate Siri.
Colors: Available in a variety of colors such as space gray, silver, sky blue, pink, and green.
Points to consider
Weight: At nearly 385 grams, they are considerably heavier than most competitors, which can cause discomfort during prolonged use sessions.
Apple Ecosystem: The full AirPods Max experience, including Spatial Audio and automatic device switching, is only available to Apple users.
Lack of power button: They do not have a power button; instead, they enter a low-power mode when placed in the Smart Case.
"Smart Case": Many consider that the included case offers little protection, as it leaves the strap unprotected.
