Q: QuestionWill the noise canceling silence the voices in my head?(4 answers)
A: AnswerAll of my inner voices suddenly disappeared. I can finally be at peace.Answered by Keagan
- A: AnswerNot sure on impedance but rtings.com did a pretty good review of them going over sound signature with graphs/charts if you are into that sorta thing. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-max-wireless As far as the serious specifications goes... that is how Apple has decided to release/market these headphones. I don't think these are anywhere near targeted toward an audiophile who is looking for top-tier listening headphones. These are for Apple ecosystem users who have the money to spend on a premium product that is a step up from AirPods Pro. Now when I say premium I don't mean audio quality vs wired headphones but in their class (ANC, wireless, etc) they are really good. If you compare then against other wireless ANC headphones they will win most fights from sound quality, ANC, ease of use (if you're into the whole Apple ecosystem), swapping between devices seamlessly, etc. Their build quality (aside from the case, yikes) is leagues ahead of another competing ANC wireless headphones as aluminum and stainless steel aren't cheap materials and the machining is top notch. It's one of those, you're buying it for the whole package and the name kinda gigs. If you're questioning yourself as to "why would I buy it when I can get better stuff" then you probably aren't the target audience for it. I know that sounds weird to say but it's the same reason someone will spend extra on a high-end item like nice shoes, a purse, a watch, etc. They're buying it for the whole package and are willing to spend the extra money. Casio and Rolex both tell the time but the Casio will set you back $20, the Rolex $5,400. I'm not saying its right or wrong that's just how it is - Apple is a luxury brand and that's how they have placed themselves in the market.

- A: AnswerI can only speculate on the cost of the Airpods Max. Part of me thinks it is typical Apple product pricing. But then I compared the Airpods Max to the following headphones: Bose 700, Sony XM4, Sennheiser Momentum 3's. I initially returned the Airpods Max because they cost the most. However I soon realized I missed the sound quality and I purchased Airpods Max again. I am happy. I have since returned the aforementioned headphones. I believe the speaker drivers and internal components and sound quality justify the price for me.

Apple AirPods Max
The Apple AirPods Max deliver a truly premium audio experience, setting a new standard for over-ear headphones. The sound quality is exceptional, offering a rich and detailed audio profile across a wide range of genres. The active noise cancellation is effective, immersing you in your music or calls while effectively blocking out external disturbances. Design-wise, the AirPods Max exude elegance and sophistication. The build quality is outstanding, featuring a stainless-steel frame and a breathable mesh canopy for added comfort. The ear cushions provide a snug fit, making these headphones suitable for extended wear. One of the standout features is the seamless integration with Apple devices. Pairing is effortless, and users benefit from features like automatic device switching and spatial audio. The latter adds a new dimension to the listening experience, creating a sense of audio space that adapts to head movements. Despite the impressive features, the high price tag may be a hurdle for some consumers. Additionally, the weight of the AirPods Max is on the heavier side compared to other options in the market. While the build quality contributes to this weight, it could be a factor to consider for users who prioritize lightweight headphones for extended use. In conclusion, the Apple AirPods Max offer a premium audio package with cutting-edge features and a luxurious design. If you're deeply ingrained in the Apple ecosystem and prioritize top-notch audio quality, these headphones are a compelling choice, though the investment may give some users pause.

I recently purchased the Apple AirPods Max and I have been absolutely blown away by their performance. These headphones are truly a game changer and have exceeded my expectations in every way. First of all, the design of the AirPods Max is sleek and modern, just like all Apple products. The ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and provide a great seal, making them perfect for long listening sessions. The headband is also very well-padded and distributes the weight of the headphones evenly, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The sound quality of the AirPods Max is truly exceptional. The dynamic range is impressive and the bass is deep and punchy without overpowering the mids and highs. The soundstage is also wide and immersive, making it feel like you are right in the middle of the music. I have listened to a variety of genres and the AirPods Max perform exceptionally well with each one. One of the standout features of the AirPods Max is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). It does an incredible job of blocking out external noise and allows you to fully immerse yourself in your music. The Transparency mode is also a great addition, allowing you to hear your surroundings without having to take off the headphones. Another great feature is the spatial audio, which gives the sensation of a surround sound experience. This is perfect for watching movies or TV shows on your Apple devices. The headphones use gyroscopes and accelerometers to track your head movements and adjust the audio accordingly, making it feel like the sound is coming from all around you. The battery life of the AirPods Max is also impressive, with up to 20 hours of listening time on a single charge. The included Smart Case also puts the headphones in an ultra-low power state when not in use, preserving battery life even further. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Apple AirPods Max. They are a premium product with a price tag to match, but the performance and features make them worth every penny. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone in the market for a high-quality, wireless listening experience.

Apple AirPods Max product review
The Apple AirPods Max are nothing short of a revelation in the world of audio. As an avid music lover, I've tried my fair share of headphones, and these have set an entirely new standard. First and foremost, the sound quality is simply exceptional. The clarity, depth, and richness of the audio is unparalleled. Every note and nuance comes through with precision, whether I'm listening to classical symphonies or bass-heavy beats. It's an immersive experience that makes me rediscover my favorite tracks all over again. The Active Noise Cancellation is on another level. It effortlessly drowns out the hustle and bustle of the outside world, allowing me to get lost in my music. It's a game-changer for long flights and busy commutes. Comfort is key, and the AirPods Max excels in this department. The memory foam ear cups provide a plush, custom fit that's comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Plus, the stainless steel frame is both durable and stylish. The transparency mode is a stroke of genius. With a quick switch, I can seamlessly transition from total immersion to being aware of my surroundings. It's incredibly handy for staying connected in busy environments. The battery life is impressive, giving me hours of uninterrupted playback. The Smart Case not only keeps the AirPods Max safe but also puts them in an ultra-low-power state to conserve battery when not in use. The integration with the Apple ecosystem is seamless. Setting up and switching between devices is a breeze, and the spatial audio feature adds a new dimension to movies and TV shows. While the price point may be on the higher side, the AirPods Max are a testament to Apple's commitment to delivering a premium audio experience. They've raised the bar for what headphones can achieve, and I can confidently say they're worth every penny. In summary, the Apple AirPods Max are a must-have for anyone who values top-tier audio quality, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. They've become an indispensable part of my daily life, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. These headphones are a true masterpiece!
