The AirPods Max have been criticised for their high price, but for those who are fully entrenched in Apple’s ecosystem, they’re arguably the very best option.
Our reviewer praised the wonderful, versatile sound, the clever design elements, confortable design and excellent build quality, the spatial audio compatibility for compatible apps and the strong connection to the Apple ecosystem meaning it’s super fast to pair to Apple devices and easily switch between them.
Are Apple’s high-end ANC headphones worth the staggering price?
Pros

- Many clever design elements and strong build quality
- Spatial audio can be immersive for the apps that support it
- Strong connection to the Apple ecosystem
Cons
- Lack of ‘off’ button is annoying
- The included case is bad in just about every way
- Heavy and can’t be folded down
- The high price can’t be ignored
In terms of features, the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) changes depending on your surroundings, while also blocks out noise when necessary. Our reviewer was a huge fan of the sound quality for all genres of music thanks to the custom-made 40mm driver and Adaptive EQ.
“AirPods Max pack a balanced sound with an outstanding sense of versatility. They don’t stand out when playing back one genre, instead impressing with a wide range of songs,” our reviewer said on the way to awarding the product a four-star review.
He concluded: “The AirPods Max remain an excellent sounding set of headphones that still have some of the best ANC around. Spatial Audio is better than ever thanks to its inclusion in Apple Music and the industrial design has lasted well since launch.”
