"Despite their long life on the market, the AirPods Max are still one of our favorite noise-canceling over-ear headsets, and a great choice for any iOS users looking for something more substantial than their regular earbuds. They have a sturdy, refined build quality, with elegant aluminum earcups, an instantly recognizable look, and a few eye-catching colors to choose from."
"Back when they released in 2020, our reviewer Parker Hall called them the best noise-canceling headphones [he has] ever tested thanks to their impressive ANC and transparency modes, super straightforward setup, and impressive feature set. Even up against big hitters like Sony and Bose, they stand out with a high level of detail and richness, with clean midrange and booming bass."
"Like other AirPods, the Max have a much more limited feature set if they aren't connected to an iOS or MacOS device, so Android and PC owners will want to look at some of our other favorite headsets."
The original AirPods Max are available at Best Buy for $450, representing a $100 discount that makes them an attractive alternative to the newly announced AirPods Max 2, which offers only minor updates. The original model remains one of the best noise-canceling over-ear headphones available, featuring premium build quality with aluminum earcups, elegant design, and comfortable fit despite moderate weight. They deliver exceptional sound quality with impressive detail, clean midrange, and powerful bass, along with excellent ANC and transparency modes. High-resolution wireless audio support distinguishes them from competitors like Sony and Bose. Battery life reaches approximately 20 hours, sufficient for extended use. However, limitations include reduced functionality on non-Apple devices and battery performance that lags behind some competitors.
