Apple AirPods Max review: Apple's new headphones cost Rs 59,900 in India. It offers a premium design and great audio experience, but is...

Like every Apple product that is released, there has been a lot said about the AirPods Max. Whatever you might think of Apple, they’ve done an excellent job of marketing their brand. Because they’ve done such an excellent job at marketing, their devices sell very well.

Amazing design, Amazing build quality, Simple to use and setup, especially with other Apple products, The sound is outstanding, The best ANC of any over-ear headphone that I've used, Amazing call quality and reception, The best Transparency Mode of any headphone, Great battery life, Very comfortable

These boys are expensive, silly expensive, The clacking of the two ear cups together might cause wear over time, The lifespan of the headband mesh is questionable, The smart case is ugly, just ugly

Apple has added the first over-ear headphones to its range with the AirPods Max, which must be pretty good as they cost 600 Euros – and for those of us who live in the Apple world this is certainly the case.

The bigger complaint is the price. $549 is a lot to ask mainstream consumers to spend on a pair of headphones, especially when you’ve got the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 and the Sony WH-1000xM4 out there for $329 and $349, respectively.

Gorgeous design, Great audio quality, Powerful ANC, Seamless integration with Apple devices

Expensive

While the Apple AirPod Max headphones are a great pair of headphones with best in class active noise cancelling and a good sound signature, they also have a few annoying quirks that make them very obviously an Apple product.

Nice design and solid build quality; Amazing active noise cancelling and transparency mode; Comfortable ear pads and fabric headband; Decent battery life; Button and digital crown are great to use; Good sound quality with no distortion; Great connection strength with Bluetooth 5.0

No 3.5mm headphone jack becomes a pain; Uses a Lightning connector instead of USB-C; Proximity sensors and voice assistant activation don't work on Android or Windows; No aptX or LDAC high quality codec support; The smart case is absolutely terrible and provides no protection; Spatial Audio doesn't...

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. It wasn’t surprising to see the company launch its own over-ear, noise-canceling headphones after the meteoric rise and popularity of AirPods, which have come to...

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 announced the AirPods Max , a $550 pair of headphones just before the holidays, and I've been testing them since launch. I bought a pair to review and write a couple of articles about, intent on returning them on the Jan. 4 extended holiday return deadline.

Sturdy build quality; Impressive sound; Battery life; Easy pairing across Apple devices

Expensive; The case isn't even close to good enough

After a couple of years of rumors about an AirPods Studio, Apple has finally released its own over-ear, noise-cancelling earphones. But they don’t carry the bold “Studio” moniker. Instead, Apple chose to call them AirPods Max. What are the AirPods Max in a nutshell?

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.
