"Apple's headphones aren't the newest pair of cans on the market -- they've been around since 2020 and haven't received a ton of design iterations since then -- but they're still a competitive pair of headphones in 2025. When compared to some of the other models we've tested, like the Nothing Headphone 1 and the Sonos Ace, the AirPods Max stand out with Apple's sleek, minimal design and solid audio quality."
"The AirPods Max have a sleek form with no branding or logos, featuring stainless steel accents and Apple's digital crown that replaces an array of physical buttons seen on other headphones, and charge via USB-C. For Apple users, the AirPods Max are the definitive over-ear headphones option, thanks to their automatic pairing with your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV."
AirPods Max are premium over-ear headphones first released in 2020 that remain competitive in 2025. They feature a sleek, minimal form with stainless steel accents, no visible branding, and Apple's digital crown instead of multiple physical buttons. The headphones charge via USB-C and pair automatically with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Active noise cancellation uses eight microphones and competes with high-end Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser models. Apple's personalized spatial audio delivers a natural soundstage. Mesh ear pads provide a firm but comfortable seal and durable wear. During Amazon Prime Day they saw discounts exceeding 20%, reducing regular $549 pricing.
