%%Airpods Max.%% Great noise cancelling, super easy to use, and up to 20 hours of listening.
The Pros
- The most comfortable over the ear headphones I’ve ever tried. It just feels like the ear cushions are giving my head a very gentle hug, making it easy to wear for long stretches.
- With a few rare exceptions, they seamlessly transfer between my iMac, MacBook, Apple TV and iPhone, without me having to connect/disconnect multiple devices each time.
- They automatically pause if you take them off and if you put them back on again not too long after, they will resume playback. Also they have the wonderful transparency mode and audio customisation, although the AirPods Pro 2nd gen are just a tad better with that.
The Cons
- While there is a wired mode, the cable is very overpriced and the audio quality is worse than using it wirelessly. That being said, I don’t see the point of getting a cable for these except unless you want to use these for inflight entertainment systems.
- It’s hella expensive...
Essa's Tips
- I picked the orange ones as I prefer high visibility/contrast items that are easier to spot in a busy space. That being said, if you can’t spot them at a glance, you can use the Find My app to quickly locate them.
- If you are especially sensitive to certain textures/materials, I’d recommend using the trial period to see if the fabric cushions are right for you. If you fall in love with the headphones but aren’t a fan of the cushions, there are a lot of 3rd party options you can try.
