Apple’s new AirPods Max headphones are getting rave critiques from these fortunate sufficient to get their palms on a pair.
At $549, the brand new wi-fi headphones are expensive. However they supply clear sounds and the corporate’s signature ease of use. The AirPods Max are offered out till March, which is an indication that Apple have to be doing one thing proper.
Glorious sound high quality is the very first thing you’ll need in headphones this costly, and Apple’s newest doesn’t skimp in that space. “The AirPods Max do sound spectacular, like high-end headphones, with tight bass, pure mids, crisp highs, and a large soundstage for a closed-back headphone,” writes David Carnoy for CNET.
“Apple does have EQ settings (beneath Music in Settings)—for Apple Music anyway—and you can also make some slight customizations to the sound profile. However I primarily went with the default sound profile throughout a number of music companies, which suited my eclectic music tastes simply positive.”
Extensive-ranging Sound
Olivia Tambini, writing for TechRadar, agrees, saying, “The soundstage typically feels fairly extensive, with room for all of the devices to essentially shine; you do not get that ‘closed-off’ sensation that over-ear headphones typically impart. There’s loads of element, nice imaging, and we did not discover any points with rhythmic accuracy within the quick time we spent listening with the AirPods Max.”

Noise canceling is likely one of the promised options on these headphones and, apparently, the AirPods Max don’t disappoint. “As regards to noise cancellation, we’ve been restricted to testing indoors with background noise created from a speaker and by standing close to the air vents for our HVAC system,” writes Jacob Krol on CNN. “The AirPods Max are fairly neck and neck with Sony’s WH-1000XM4s on this regard.”
Battery life appears to be stellar, as effectively. “Apple says AirPods Max stand up to twenty hours of battery life per cost, and that’s been my expertise utilizing them as my main headphones for a couple of week,” writes Brandt Ranj in Rolling Stone. “I plug them in for an hour or so each couple of days, and that will get me by way of lengthy music and podcast listening periods with out battery nervousness.”
A Signature Look in 5 Colours
The Max’s look is premium, with stainless-steel and a alternative of 5 completely different colours: house gray, silver, sky blue, inexperienced, and pink. “The scarf is stainless-steel lined in white rubbery materials, with a ‘breathable mesh knit cover’ throughout the highest; Apple says this distributes the load of the headphones extra evenly throughout your head,” writes Nilay Patel on The Verge.
“(I can’t say it feels very a lot completely different than my Sony WH-1000XM2s, however it’s doable I simply have a really giant head.) The scarf connects to the earcups with adjustable stainless-steel extensions culminating in a pleasantly spring-loaded hinge, all of which is nicer than some other premium headphones I’ve used.”

The minimalism extends to the design as effectively, though the AirPods Max weigh 384 grams, greater than some rivals. “Buttons are saved to a minimal and emulate the Apple Watch—there is a Noise Management button to change between noise canceling mode (on, off, or clear/ambient), and a bigger model of the digital crown to manage quantity and provide you with play/pause capabilities,” writes Stuart Miles on Pocket-lint.
“We have already discovered ourselves urgent that Noise Management button when positioning the headphones on our head. That could possibly be annoying over time. If buttons aren’t your factor you can even discuss to Siri.”
Consolation is crucial in relation to one thing you’ll be sporting in your head for lengthy intervals. “So far, they’re extremely comfy,” writes Andrew O’Hara on AppleInsider. “Previous headsets have given us a little bit of discomfort on prime of our head or whereas sporting glasses, however after a number of hours, this does not appear to be as problematic for AirPods Max. The woven mesh prime simply barely rests on our head.”
That $549 price ticket is a bummer, however I’ve virtually satisfied myself they’re price the price primarily based on studying early critiques. Too unhealthy I’ll have to attend till subsequent 12 months to get my palms on a pair.
