Apple’s AirPods Max are its first noise-canceling over-ear headphones. They have a stylish design, excellent sound quality, and unique features like spatial audio. But at $550, they also come at a very premium price that’s way more expensive than competitors like Bose and Sony. Watch our whole review to see if they’re worth it for you.

If you had unlimited money, which headphones would you get?

Useless mic test tough, you would need to repeat it in a car traveling 85mph, in a room like a staircase with really bad acoustics and while walking busy city streets. That is where the APM fail miserably.

I was so surprised by the quality of the mic compared to the other headphones
Hi The Verge and everyone! One question, do you notice if your AirPods Max will go to low power mode—disconnected from iPhone/iPad—after being put down and left stationary outside of the Smart Case for longer than 5 minutes? I want to leave my AirPods Max on a stand outside of its Smart Case for quick access, but I notice that the headphones continue to stay on and appear connected to my iPhone, which drains the battery charge. Any insights would be appreciated!
Mine stopped working the second day. Do you know why that is? I didn’t do anything wrong except putting them to charge.
The production quality is out of this world. My gosh.
What exactly are you cancelling in the microphone test? Just birds chirping? Kids playing? or just generally sitting outside?
All of the mic tests sound terrible. Why can’t wireless headsets sound good on the mic, is it the Bluetooth standard not being high enough bitrate? Maybe it’s the noise cancelling?
Great video I was thinking about buying this product now I have decided to get something else
i just ordered mine in green renewed from amazon for 400 even
I’m just glad this guy is wearing a mask outdoors by himself.
The case does sit nice in a backpack though.
Apple are the best and for a reason. Mic blew the others out the water also
This is one of the best reviews from Verge- Its so well balanced and accurate, after using the Max’s for sometime, I am amazed how well every relevant detail was captured.
why is he wearing a mask outdoors? It’s literally pointless. What are you going to get infected by a swift breeze?
Were is the mic review? Lol

I mean….ngl they look HELLA nice and high quality/top tier. I’m…..just not paying damn near $600 for no headsets 🙅
People need to stop calling these things “investments” it’s stupid, wrong and makes you sound poor
Still my Favorite
