AirPods Max (USB-C) Midnight – A Premium Experience with Some Caveats

- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase10/10 sound quality
10/10 noise cancellation
10/10 comfortability
10/10 durability
The sound quality surpassed my expectations when watching shows or listening to music. Everything is crispy and clear! Noise cancellation is great, but do keep in mind that if the environment is really loud, you may still hear a bit of it through the headphones. It doesn't bug me too much and helps brings some peace and quiet when necessary. When first receiving the headphones, wearing them cause a bit of soreness cuz I felt like my head was being squished. After wearing them for long periods of time, you kind of break them in and they will become more comfortable that you don't even notice them. Prior to owning the AirPods Max, I owned that AirPods Pros and they were uncomfortable after a few hours of wears. When comparing the two, the Max is definitely the best overall. Every single day I'll pack them in my bag for work and they've held up! Durability is definitely there, and tbh there's really no need to purchase an extra case since it gets really bulky. I had purchased a case only to never use it unless I feel like it's necessary to be used.
Its worth the investment!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2025Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI had a pair of the Bose quite comfort that I used for years. These sound much better and the build quality is amazing. Price is high but they are a quality pair of headphones that integrate perfectly with a Mac desktop, iPad and iPhone. The instrument separation when listening to music is much better than the Bose. I have not used them on a flight yet but the noise canceling works really well. I use them everyday for hours while working and plug them in at night. After a full day of use they only use 30% of the battery. I am glad I bought them.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI've owned the Bose QC series, Sony WH1000XM3 & M4's, Bowers & Wilkins Px8, Panda. The Apple AirPod Max are the best, in terms of clarity and soundstage, I've tried so far. I also owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s - these are wired, but the AirPod Max is the only wireless headphone had even approaches the HD 800 in audio soundstage and overall quality. To note, I do use Apple Music, so I'm sure this only adds to why the AirPod Max's sound so good.
The Max's are a bit hefty, but by design, are well balanced - the result is a solid headphone is quite comfortable (I've worn them on a 9 hour flight with no issues).
I have to admit that when the return window came, I found that I couldn't live without these.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseWith headphones I think sound quality is paramount and these offer excellent sound quality compared to the headphones I’ve tried (Sony xm4,Momentum 4,Beats Studio pro). I’m no audiophile but do enjoy sound and these are really nice. The Spatial Audio is surprisingly good. Not all SA songs sound as good as others but some songs will definitely make you turn your heads to see where the sound is coming from.
The ANC is really good. I haven’t been on an airplane with these but around the house they really shut the noise out.
Transparency mode it’s just like not wearing headphones. Perfect.
Some of the negatives are that they are heavier than other headphones but I this hasn’t been an issue at all. The case is kind of a meme at this point. I use it day to day but did buy a 3rd party case for travel as the Apple case isn’t very protective.
I hope this help you decide. No regrets here.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseDo yourself a favor and pass on these trash headphones. The poor quality headband and “condensation gate” issue should be a dealbreaker enough to pass on these headphones entirely. They are not worth your consideration. The sound quality, ANC, and transparency features are great, but there are critical design flaws that simply cannot be ignored at that $500+ price point.
Google “condensation gate” and you will understand why these headphones don’t deserve your hard earned money. Moisture and electronics doesn’t mix. Why on earth would you waste money on a product that has a high likelihood of shorting out soon after the warranty expires?
The headband. I can’t even believe they poorly designed such a critical piece of the product. The headband’s support system is made out of (wait for it) MESH!!!!! Think about that folks. All that’s keeping the metal frame of the headphones from painfully resting DIRECTLY on your head is a very thin layer of mesh of which over time begins to sag, and when it does, the consumer instantly goes from having pain in their wallet, to pain on their head as well. I cannot for the life of me understand why they would have designed the headband with such a flimsy support system.
Comfort is a serious issue as well. The clamping force coupled with the sheer weight of the headphones is straight up ridiculous. I do not recommend these headphones at all. Not to mention the returns process is PAINFUL. I can only imagine that Apple makes it that way to discourage returns in general for products purchased through AMZ. You could potentially have to wait up to 30 days to get a refund due to Apple’s requirements to return this particular product.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseThe most important aspects- the overall sound quality and active noise cancellation are absolutely amazing. A few potential downsides for some: they are definitely “heftier” than probably any other headphones. The battery life isn’t as spectacular as it could be. There is no power button or “off”- the only way to stop connectivity to an iPhone is by putting them back in their magnetic case (which also means you basically always need to bring the case with you.) For the price, I think Apple should have/should do better. I actually do believe the incredible sound quality can overlook these shortcomings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing sound and comfort
Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a few days now, and I’m beyond impressed! The sound quality is absolutely top-notch. The clarity and richness of the audio are unmatched, whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls. The spatial audio feature creates an immersive experience, making it feel like the sound is surrounding me.
The noise cancellation is phenomenal. It completely blocks out background noise, which is perfect for focusing at work or during travel. The transparency mode is also seamless, allowing me to hear what’s around me without taking off the headphones.
Yes, they’re pricey, but in my opinion, they’re worth every penny. If you’re looking for premium sound, comfort, and design, you won’t be disappointed.

- MatheusReviewed in Canada on December 2, 2024
1.0 out of 5 stars No wired support? Nice – a downgrade.
Style: USB-CColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseIs this a joke? They use these headphones in their marketing material for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, yet they don’t support a wired connection for lossless low-latency playback. I got a ton of different Apple adapters for this, yet NONE of them worked. I tried talking to an Apple representative over the phone and they were 100% useless. I returned this and I’m sticking to my old Lightning AirPods Max (which do support a wired connection).
