Need at least one Apple device for updates/settings
Pretty, clean design, Outstanding sound clarity and detail, no distortion, iCloud device pairing is always convenient, No on/off — they are always ready for use, Best Transparency Mode on the market,
Hardware controls are in an awkward spot, Not the strongest noise cancellation out there, EQ is kind of bland and bass-heavy. Basically no user control over EQ, The case is just not a case, Price-to-value ratio is arguable
Price, Spatial audio is limited right now, The “case” offers little protection, No high-res music streaming service support, Summary, Apple went full Cupertino with its first wireless noise-cancelling headphones. The company offers great sound and feature
Billy Steele/EngadgetWith the AirPods Max, Apple successfully built a set of premium over-ear headphones with a unique design that's all its own. There's no doubt they look much better than the mostly plastic options I typically test from Sony, Bose and o...

The case — enough said, Controls are easy to bump when removing headset, Audio quality could be better, Transparency mode harsh on highs, No aux cable included and Apple's is expensive and fragile,

Very expensive, Heavy, not meant to be worn with a lot of movement, No real way to turn them off, shorter battery life than the competition, Smart Case is cumbersome, not protective

Excellent audio performance with rich lows and crisp, detailed highs, High-quality active noise cancellation, especially for low-frequency rumble, Stunning, unique design, Adaptive EQ and Spatial audio, Hands-free Siri access,
Expensive, Sound signature and Adaptive EQ/spatial audio aren't for purists, No user-adjustable EQ, Button placement makes it easy to misfire when adjusting fit, Smart Case does little to protect the headphones

High-luxury design, Terrific, balanced sound quality, Very effective noise cancellation, Dependable and foolproof controls, Spatial audio for immersive entertainment
Heavier than many competitors, No 3.5mm jack, Wired listening requires $35 cable, Case is an abomination, Apple Music can't make the most of these headphones
Beautiful sound, great noise-cancellation, lovely design,
Extremely expensive, too heavy, case looks like a bra
