"At $549, Apple's over-the-ear are ridiculously expensive. Even so, and even though they're a little too small for my big head, I've found them to be worth the price. They do two things very well: they switch between my Apple devices smoothly and mostly automatically, and they block noise. My wife and I share a family room, where we spend most of our workday. When she's on a Zoom meeting, I can put on my AirPods Max and block out her conversation."
"Also: Should you buy AirPods Max in 2025? A long-awaited upgrade will entice professionals One thing that's not convenient is charging. Unlike all my other mobile Apple devices, which charge wirelessly, the AirPods Max are supposed to be kept in their case and plugged into charge. This may sound a bit silly, but I'm often holding my little dog with one arm (he likes to snuggle in on my shoulder). Plugging in the AirPods Max is beyond my dexterity with one hand."
AirPods Max retail for $549 and deliver smooth device switching and effective noise blocking, though they run small for larger heads. High-pitched sounds, such as small dog yips, can penetrate the noise cancellation. Charging requires placing the headphones in their case and plugging in a cable, which complicates one-handed use. Multiple third-party docking stations eliminate the need for the case, with most options priced under $30. Mophie's AirPods Max Charging Stand costs $150 (often discounted to $135) and provides a functional solution but feels overpriced compared to cheaper alternatives. Lack of Lightning support weakens the premium positioning.
