Plus it comes with a six months of Apple Music and Apple News+
Apple Airpods have championed the concept of wireless headphones for the majority of the population. In fact, that change was driven by the removal of the audio jack on the iPhone, another decision that rocked mobile phone users everywhere. Suffice to say that the Airpods are a great device with a lot of pedigree, and the Airpods Max is that, but even better, and you can get it for only $479.

These over-the-ear headphones will provide you with the excellent audio fidelity that Apple has become known for and which you might be familiar with if you own a set of Airpods. The Airpods Max also supports spatial audio for some great surround sound, as well as a noise-cancelling feature, so you can switch off the world outside when you need it. Even better, the Airpods Max has memory foam cushions for both the ears and the top of your head, so it’s comfortable to wear and even conforms to the shape of your head.
Battery life should last you about 20 hours, which is probably more than enough for most people, although I’m sure audiophiles will love using them all the time. They even have a very-low-power mode for you to store them in to keep them going a bit longer. That being said, the Airpods Max does come with bluetooth, and if you use that, battery life might be a bit shorter, but not too significantly.
Of course, the best thing is that you’re buying into the Apple family, and with that come the Apple ecosystem advantages. For example, you can share audio between two sets of airpods, for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, which means you can watch with a friend or loved one. This package also comes with a six months of Apple Music and Apple News+, assuming that you are a new subscriber to both.
Finally, the Airpods Max also work with Siri, which means that it also has a microphone to use, so you can make calls on it without having to take it off.
