Fantastic sound quality, Elite noise cancellation, Great Apple-friendly features
Fit isn't always comfortable, Average battery life, No true analogue wired connection
AirPods Max deliver sound quality that's better than the noise-cancelling competition, with some great extra features to boot. But they're not a certain buy – the fit isn't ideal for everyone, the wired connectivity is frustrating, and we don't love the b...
Incredible sound quality, Premium build, Great ANC, Impressive smarts
Limited Android support, No power button, An ill-designed Smart Case, No Lossless support
The AirPods Max are an incredible pair of high-end headphones that undoubtedly stand out from the crowd, although not always for the right reasons. The design is sophisticated, and the use of stainless steel immediately makes the AirPods Max feel like a l...
A proper mixture, this.The design of the headphones themselves is idiosyncratic but mostly admirable; the design of the case is an absolute dog's dinner. Audio quality is superb, and the noise cancellation and Transparency modes highly effective; Siri is...

Wonderful, versatile sound, Many clever design elements and strong build quality, Spatial audio is very immersive for the apps that support it, Strong connection to the Apple ecosystem,
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,
Apple's first pair of over-ear headphones are a luxury aimed solely at those who entrench themselves fully in Apple's ever-expanding ecosystem. They're packed with good ideas, clever design elements and wonderfully versatile audio but the price, when comp...

Beautifully natural and open sound,Excellent noise cancelling,Great comfortable fit,Really nice design and engineering,
Very high price compared to equivalent options, Some battery annoyances, Smart Case just isn't that useful,
AirPods Max are some of the best-sounding and most comfortable wireless headphones out there. But there are a few small issues, as well as a steep, steep price for privilege.Reasons to buy+Beautifully natural and open sound+Excellent noise cancelling+Grea...
Good sound quality, Awesome noise cancelling, Spatial Audio is stunning
Heavy, Fit isn't 100% secure, Case only partially protects headphones
Spatial Audio, like many aspects of the Apple AirPods Max, is seriously impressive. It's wonderfully convincing and, coupled with the headphones' all-round audio quality, impressive noise cancellation and transparency mode, contributes to a super all-roun...

The Apple AirPods Max are big, expensive and flashy noise cancelling-headphones that manage to stand out in a crowded market. They sound fantastic with most genres of music, brilliant with movies including some fancy virtual surround tech, plus superb noi...
