The AirPods Max are undoubtedly one of the best pair of headphones that we have ever used. They have a signature sound which is delightful at all times. The AirPods Max look premium and cost quite a lot. At Rs 59,990, they are one of the more expensive headphones you can buy. Are they worth it?

The premium over the wireless over the ear headphone category is chalk full of devices and price points. Popular products include Philips PH805, the Sony WH-1000XM4, the Bowers & Wilkins PX7, and the Sennheiser PXC 550-II. If you are an Apple user, the AirPods MAX is one of the most compelling.

Fantastic noise cancellation, Crisp and balanced sound, Spatial audio is a game-changer, Brilliant extra features for iOS, Headband breaths good in hot weather

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

The high asking price will make the over-ear AirPods a luxury rather than a mass-market product, which is a shame as the sound quality and active noise-cancelling (ANC) is superb - but much of the competition offers such features for a cut of the cash.

Great sound and active noise-cancelling (ANC); No plastics; Ease of setting up and running; Spatial Audio delivers convincing three-dimensional audio

Not foldable; Weighty due to metal; Carry case could be more robust; Very expensive; No 3.5mm jack; Spatial Audio not for Apple TV

Spatial Audio and superb noise cancelling are standouts for Apple’s AirPods Max - a great pair of headphones for Apple users

Good sound quality; Awesome noise cancelling; Spatial Audio is stunning;

Heavy; Fit isn’t 100% secure; Case only partially protects headphones;

Apple has become a big name in wireless headphones with AirPods, which are easily the most popular and recognizable earbuds worldwide. AirPods provide reliable connectivity and an all-around great wireless earbud experience, but the sound quality can't compete with a nice set of over-ear headphones.

Design These are some of the most unique and great-looking headphones I've seen in a long time; Transparency mode Transparency mode is one of the best audio passthrough modes in any headphones; It makes it sound like you don't have the headphones on.

Price The price is just too high; No Power button Headphones should have a power button. Not having a power button is just insane; Case The case, if you can even call it that, is an absolute joke. It doesn't protect anything and looks horrible.

AirPods Max are a premium headphone made for Apple users. The stainless steel and aluminum body is solidly built, but it also means that it's quite heavy, but the fabric headband is comfortable.

Premium look and feel with solid construction; Incredible sound quality with Adaptive EQ and Spatial Audio; Top-notch Active Noise Cancellation with Transparency mode; Clear sounding microphones; Fabric headband relieves pressure; comfortable to wear; Easy to Handoff between multiple Apple devices

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
