AirPods Max review: the good, the bad and a mic test

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?

Man, look at the production quality of this video. Next level.

"But to not include the cable in the box, at this price? That's just rude."

Nailed it.

This is the old-school Verge production quality we've all been longing for

This video is so well-written and well-delivered

4:56 The microphone on the max is actually amazing.

I’m just glad this guy is wearing a mask outdoors by himself.

Give this man more review gigs, he's great!

The Mic test was won by the AirPods max. Not even close.

[AlejandroLZuvic]

Just pointing out how good this review is. Chris' delivery + writing = something else. I love Becca's cinematography too.

PS: you too be safe and well Chris!

I need to see how long that headband lasts...

[iantolee]

The mic test is absolutely shocking. Holy

[umarbabajidda]

Apple: let's launch our new headphones
Sony: let me just share MOST of that spotlight with you

Best review of these on YouTube, 100% unbiased and objective. Well done sir.

I think this is the best AirPods Max review I have seen so far, and it's most because it point out the down sides so directly and that's what a review need to do, right? The good and the bad. Not just saying good things and avoid comparison and down side.

So really a good job here!

The production quality is out of this world. My gosh.

[haresmahmood]

It almost feels like they made these ridiculously expensive so that their other audio-related products, particularly the AirPods Pro, would seem much more reasonable.

AirPods Max Price: not nice.
AirPods Max Ear Cups Price: *NICE*

What an outstanding review, he killed it with the details and competitor microphone tests.
