Apple finally lifts the lid on a pair of shockingly pricey over-ear cans
People have been in expectation of the first over-ear headphones from Apple. Now, they have been announced by the company as Apple Airpods Max . These are released after the well-known Airpods Pro .
Apple's AirPods Max headphones deliver excellent audio performance, top-notch noise cancellation, and a bevy of useful features in an absolutely gorgeous design for a bit too much money.
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
After a long lead-up of rumors, Apple managed to squeeze in the AirPods Max just under the wire as its last big hardware release of 2020.

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
Apple's first headphones Airpods Max are expensive, but amazingly good. On everything. Almost.
Perhaps the best noise reduction in the class. Large, rich, dynamic and open sound image with crystal clear reproduction. Comfortable despite the weight. The quality.
Neither splashproof nor waterproof. Half the case - and the price.
The Apple AirPods Max are among the best-sounding headphones we've ever tested, they're easy to use, and their noise cancellation can easily stand up to the likes of the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700.

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
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 noise cancelling that matches the best in the...
